Test of the Tariff IS Yet to Come

When the war is over, that is when
the Wilson Tariff will begin to work its
havoc in the country. But perhaps we
can get it modified before the new and
more determined European invasion
will begin. Some of the countries of
Europe will find it hard to dispose of
their surplus goodsto other European
countries, due to the state Of feeling
that will exist. Britishers will Tot buy
of Germans, nor will Germans buy of
British manufacturers. All over Eu
rope such feelings will abound and it
will be necessary for such countries to
90 to the outside world for their mar.
kets. The United States being credi.
tor nation, able to buy and to pay. will
become the special field. The agents of
European houses will overrun the
American States. They will put their
goods into this country at prices that
will drive American manufacturers out
or else force down wages to the Euro
pean standards and the European stand
ards will be low after the war while
the industries are recuperating.
If we want to escape the floods and
the wiping out of our own industries
we will have to get into better Tariff
position. We cannot do it without
modifying our Tariff as it now exists.
1t is SO low now that the waters flow
over and overflow if not drown us in.
