enough TO keep the combined battle

ing each less than half million dol

OF the big warship feet of Great Brit
ain, costing over $4,000 600 and over
two thousand lives, and, in addition
DESTROYED many thousands Of tonnage
Of smaller war craft and merchant
vessels? To accomplish what these
three submarines, costing little over
a million dollars, with seventy-tiVe
men, did. would take in a naval en-
gagement, more than dozen battle
ships and cruisers, costing, according
TO what we pay, more than Sl00,000,o6O,
and from 1000 to 10000 officers and
men. with the probability, even If sue
cessful, of losing many of the vessels
and thousands of lives. Did not one
little submarine, costing less than half
million dollars, with only twenty-five
men. worming itself through thousands
of miles of sea, creep into the Darda-
nelies, send to the bottom five war
ships of the allies and disable the
others, driving the struggling, Grip
pied. remnant of the allies fleet out,
while it survived unframed and IN
touched? To accomplish this, it would
have taken eight or ten warships,
costing from $4,000, 600 to 100000, 600,
and from 1000 to 10000 men, with the
risk of many ships being destroyed and
many lives lost Germany has her
big, magnificent feet of battleships,
cruisers, etc, lying unmolested in her
harbor. Great Britain and her allies
have q battIeship feet nearly four
times as large and powerful and tor
pedo fleet over four times as large.
Why don't the allies go in and destroy
the German feet? You answer, suhma-
rines and mines. That answers largely
the question of our defensive pre-
paredness" If a few submarines and
mines land Germany hasn't as many
submarines as we havel can protect,
and keep unmelested, the German feet
and her harbor and hold at bay for
hundreds of miles 8 feet four times as
big and as powerful, why couldn't sub
marines and mines protect with equal
assurance our fleet and our shores?

TARIFF TRUTH

An automobile advertisement in the
Saturday Evening Post of Oct. Is fur
nishes material for a tariff sermon. It
quotes prices on q well known make
Of car in the United States and prices
on the same car in Canada. This part
OF the advertisement is as follows
Model S3-Touring car, fye-passen-
ger, four-eylinder, +. O. b. Toledo.
Ohio, $3.50; + o. b. Hamilton, Canada,
Sl,o5G
Roadster, four-cylinder, o. b. To-
ledo, Ohio. SIPS, f. 0, b. Hamilton,
Canada, $1,015.
Model 86-Touring car, seven pas
senger, six-cylinder, I. 0. b. Toledo.
Ohio. $1145; f. 0. b. Hamilton, Can
ada, $1,600
Why does the same car cost $500 to
$45e more in Canada than in the Unit
ed States? The Canadian tariff is the
answer. a few years ago Canada
adopted high protective tariff policy.
We haven't the tariff figures before US,
but it is evident that they are pretty
stiff on automobiles You want a road
ster in the United States and you get
it for S725, but over in Canada the
same car costs you S1,015. You buy
seven passenger. siX-cylinder touring
care here Tor S1,145, but if you want the
same car in Canada It will cost you
$1,000. That is a pretty steep figure
for the Canadian automobiles land
nowadays automobiles are a mighty
numerous class to pay for "protec-
ton to home industries
But the protection spelbinder used
70 tell US that the foreigner pays the
tax" The Canadian who pays $450
tax on a $500 car Will have to count
himself foreigner to accept that doc
trine. He won't accept IT in the matter
OF his automobile. because the tax is
too plain to be hidden from his view.
But q lot Of American citizens have
swallowed that fairy story, bait. hook,
bob and sinker, In the past, and count
ed themselves prosperous because they
were protected" from the "pauper la
Dor Of Europe by q tax on their food
their clothes and nearly all the other
necessities Of life. In future. when
that hoary chestnut Is sprung on them
by high protection orators, let their
minds revert TO the automobile adver-
tisement. which throws the mex
tinguishabIe light of truth Oh the
whole tariff question. That truth,
tersely stated, liz this
Any excess price for any produce
coming into q country, IN the FORM Of
a tariff, Is inevitably paid BY the pur-
chaser, The consumer pays the tax.

that Consumption would not be intro
