Congressman Jos. w. Fordney
Tells of Workings of Tariff

We now have a Democratic tariff
law on our statute books. Under its
operation 20 per cent of all the for
eign made goods brought to this coun-
try are admitted to the American
markets free Of duty. A large pro-
portion of the male labor of Europe
in is the trenches. What will happen
when the millions of men on the bat
tlefelds return home and seek en-
ployment That there will be sur
plus of labor but few will deny. A
labor surplus means low wages and
low costs of production. There Will
be an abundance of low priced pro-
ducts in the European countries Tor
which a market must be found, and
America will be the most desirable OF
markets in the world. The conclusion
of peace will Immediately throw our
ports open to an immense foreign
trade. With the present low tariff
rates in force, the product OF the
poorly paid labor of Europe will come
to our shores and can and Will under
sell goods "Made in America" Al
the termination of the war, the nee
essity for an adequate protective
tariff law will be greater than ever
before in our history.
1t is the theory of the present adj
ministration that we should encour-
age the importation of foreign made
goods, and that any industry which
cannot exist in this country and com.
pete, successfully, in an open market
with foreign goods. should be wiped

industries are established and en-
ployment is diversified, leaving the
laboringman free to choose his own
occupation. There is nothing that
will do more toward making labor in
dependent than to increase the num-
Der of occupations in which it can en-
gage. There is nothing that will do
more toward making labor dependent
than to limit the kinds of trade which
it can follow. Seek out the country
in which employment is not diversifi-
ed and you will find low wages and
emphasize the statement that the
most damaging attack on labor is a
| free trade argument, for free trade
degrades labor, and ultimately brings
| it to the lever Of cheaper labor in
other countries. How can it do
otherwise?
| We want industries of every de-
scription to be established and to
| thrive on American soil. We have
| the area, natural resources and cli-
matte conditions to be industrially in
dependent, to produce at home our
| food supplies, our clothing and all the
necessaries of life. From the manu-
facturers' standpoint, we have ev-
erything in America he could desire
except cheap labor, and cheap labor
is theone thing we do not want. With
protective tariff laws, cheap labor is
a thing we will not need and will not
have.
Nothing set forth in the Under
wood tariff law has given encourage
ment to any industry in the United
States. There is nothing in that law
to benefit industry or labor. 1t is q
free trade measure conceived upon
free trade principles.
