towns where the mills are SITUATED.
Later. we buy this wool as finished
fabric, paying the freight twice across

those far away that which we ought l"
have for ourselves. Why not turn thiS
wool into fabrics IN the Pacific coast
keeping here the wages. the profits. the
workers and saving the huge expense
Of freight charges twice across the con-
tinent?"
Does not this line Of reasoning APP
ply with equal force to the case OF
wool or cotton shipped TO Europe or
ASIA Why could not the editor with
equal appropriateness say: We STow
the wool and put it on the ships TO go
across the Atlantic. There it gives
employment to thousands Of people in
the countries where the mills are stu
ated. Later, We buy this wool as fin.
ished product, paying the freight twice
across theI ocean. paying the profit to
European manufacturers. paying
wages to their workers. thereby ahan-
doning to those far away and on for
eign soil that which we ought to have
for ourselves. Why not turn this
American wool and cotton into An
ished fabrics in America, keeping here
the wages. the profits. the workers and
saving the expense of the freight
charges twice across the ocean?
Experience has demonstrated in
every instance that reduction or re-
moYal of a protective tariff increases
our purchases of products Of foreign
factories. We not only give employ
ment to the foreign worker. thereby
directly diminishing the number Of

fecting the workers in other industries
which depend upon the total of Amer
lean industry for market Since
every dollar expended for American la
Dor changes hands ten or twelve times
in a year, every dollar we send 10 Eu-
rope or Asia for the purchase OF man
ufactured commodities means the loss
Of ten or twelve dollars In a year to
American industry. In the ten months
period from the time Of the enactment
OF the Democratic tariff law up to the
outbreak of war in Europe. America
suffered a loss Of s25O.O00.00O in her
balance of trade-7a loss that would
have been multiplied by ten within q
year if war had not cut off foreign
competition.
