lars, while 70: every one dollar paid
in wages in England they now pay
two, so that whereas the differential
in 1914 between the two countries was
one dollar TO-DAY it is two dollars
And the disparity today will be
found still more marked when COM
pairing our present wage scale with
that of continental Europe. But we
still. labor under a tariff law drafted
by near-f free trade Democrats to nee:
1914 conditions. Democrats who ask
if the Republican party is still calling
on the old shibboleth Of Protection
will soon find that it has been most
effectively materialized and very
properly so.
The argument that we should keep
down the protective bars and seek our
profits in foreign fields is not sound.
In the first place, even under the most
favorable conditions arising from a
war which gave US almost free swing.
our export trade at no time exceeded
$4,000 coo. 900 annually, which is about
nc-seventh the consumption capacity
Of the Cnite.l States today. How
could we be expected to eXpand our
foreign markets to $4,000. 100000,
meeting abroad those same COM
petitors to whom the Democratic
party would surrender the home mar
ket" Even at this critical moment
Secretary Eedfield and the War Trade
board request us not to interfere with
The foreign trade expansion Of our
allies. while ~ the same time favor
ing policies which will permit them
to have unrestricted entry to the
American market. Is il not h.gi! time
the economic interests of this country
were considered: Due to the world
food shortage, agricultural production
in the United States is in prosperous
shape. but that will continue as at
present only Until European agricul-
,urc can be Ie-csta blished. We are
already witnessing the drop III the
price of whea. abroad, and the price
here is kept up by purely artificial
means. The agricultural interests OF
this country should know from en-
perience that when notwithstanding
industries are paralyzed by foreign
consumption, the market for farm
produce goes to pieces. The kepubli-
can party can take up the business OF
tariff revision confident Of the coun-
try's support. The people want pro-
lection and they must have it.
