TARIFF A FAILURE.
It's Supporters Unable to Refute
Stern Facts.
With the country's Business Par

Not lowered, the Ordinary citi-
zen May Well Wonder.

The revised tariff has been in force
for a year, OF nearly so, and no
American table at breakfast, lunch.
dinner or supper has seen an egg, a
beefsteak, chop, slice Of bread, a
BIZ of butter, or any other edible or
potable thing sold at a fraction OF a
cent cheaper than under. the high
tariff.
The putting of raw material on the
free list came with promise to stimu-
late American industries by import
ing this from abroad, and this other
false prophecy has not been fulfillcl
in single instance. American bust
ness has been stagnant all over the
country in spite Of plenty Of money.

that might be given to business. I'M
ports and exports are both smaller
and dwindling lower and lower
And this has always been so,
Whenever American industries have
been protected they have prospered.
Whenever the American people have
been generally employed at good
wages they have. bought domestic and
foreign goods and kept the wheels
turning>a at home and abroad. America
is one of the most populous countries
in the world, its people spend
more than any other people In
the world. and when they prosper all
the world prospers with them. and
when depression hits our shores it
spreads like the plague in ever-widen-
ing circles until it embraces the world.
