To Study Tariff
AS western Wayne county Is largely
an agricultural community the women
voters share with the men voters a
common interest in political questions
which directly effect farm life. That
means, it is pointed out, that they will
be interested in the tariff issue of the
campaign. Before they cast Their
ballots, party workers say, the women
will determine for themselves which
tariff argument is the soundest; the
Republican argument that the new tar
if law, with its relatively high duties
on agricultural products, insures eco
nomic protection and prosperity fol
the American farmer; or the Demo
cratic argument, that protection fol
farm products will be of no benefits
to the American farmer and will resul
in an increase in the cost of living tt
all classes.

America Ceases To Be
German Steel Market
(By Associated Press)

SOLINGEN, Rhennish Prussia. Oct
5.-The United States has ceased to be
one of the German steel industry
most lucrative markets as the sudden
enforcement of the new tariff has not
only resulted in heavy cancellation Of
order, but is making itself felt in the
conspicuous absence of fresh demands
from America for finished steel pro-
ducts.
Up to short time ago half or the
Solingen output was consigned to the
United States and local manufacturers
are already confronted with the neces-
sity of curtailing working hours.

unfrequented places where the cam
