To Enjoy "Navy Night"
A great many families throughout
the middle west have sons in the
Navy and first-hand information by
radio about the service from the men
who direct the Nays activities will
be appreciated by them.
In order to carry out tina, program
Navy Department and the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
Company whereby the broadcasting
station WIZ at Newark. n. j.. Will
set aside one night a month to be
known as Navy night" On this
night the Navy will be represented
by DISTINGUISHED officers as speakers:
A concert will also be furnished
either by a navy yard band or from
some ship that may be in port.
The idea Of having prominent naval
officers speak directly to the people
by means of radio is to give them
in time of peace as well as to estab-
lish closer relationship between the
Navy and the inland centers Of popu-
lation.

economically, ruinous to the country
as a whole, without they get farmer
support for it. They feel they can not
pass bill to bring on a new era of
profteering by big business, and soak
the consumer, without members of
congress who represent agricultural
districts vote for it-unless they can
deceive the farm bloc in congress, in
other words. And that is what they
are trying to do, and may succeed in
doing. It looks that way.
To get. farmer support back home
for this vicious bill, and the vote of the
farm bloc, the Republicans have put
into it a schedule of duties on agri-
cultural products higher than ever be-
fore enacted in a permanent tariff law.
And they say to the farmer: "See, we
are protecting you too. This is just
what you want. Come in with us and
get the bill passed"
A RE very many farmers still de-
~ ceived by this slick, cheap talk
- n and trickery Of the Republican
politicians, whose aim is to increase
the profiteering of big business, not to
help agriculture? Well, if they are,
then things look rather hopeless. But
I don't believe many farmers are fall
ing for it. They know we are an ex-
porting, not an importing nation, SO
far as agricultural products are con-
cerned. We must sell a big farm
product surplus abroad. We can much
more than supply our own needs and
are not seriously menaced by farm
product importations.
A high tariff causes other nations
to retaliate by discriminating against
our farm products by high duties, thus
preventing us from selling our surplus
abroad And this bill, if we as farm
ers support it, means raising the price
of everything we buy-increasing to
the breaking point, and more, the cost
of living. Are we suckers to swallow
the bait? Granting that high tariff
on farm products will help the farmer
a little-and [ do not believe it will
granting that, the benefits will be
wiped out, and q big additional burden
placed on us, by the increased cost of
manufactured articles we must buy.
The Harding administration pro-
poses to subsidize merchant marine.
Why? To build up our foreign trade.
While we do that with one hand, with
the other we erect a tariff wall that
will destroy our commerce.

n CAN remember 20 years ago the
fun the Democratic party car
toonists used to have with Repub-
ican tariff bills. The high protec-
tive tariff had been originally adopted
by the .Repubic to protect our in
FAINT industries" That had been their
slogan, and the Democrats used the
idea effectively in their jibes at high
tariff. Their cartoons showed Papa
Uncle Sam. holding monstrous in
fant," about twice as big as his daddy.
The "baby" was labeled Infant indus
tries" It was being sucked out Of a
bottle Of milk labeled Republican
tariff bill" Or they would picture the
same gigantic baby in a cradle about
half big enough to hold him. The
over-grown baby, representing Gin
FAINT industries" would have little
figure labeled Consumer" by the
throat with one hand, and with: the
other he would be throttling another
little figure labeled farmer"
The Democratic idea, of course, was
that the infant industry argument
was a joke. Our industries were able
to take care Of themselves without
high tariff, and to give them that kind
Of protection meant raising the cost Of
living and damaging everybody else.
Well, to judge by the Fordney per-
manent tariff bill, passed by the lower
house of the present congress, and
now reported out of committee for
passage in the upper house, our indus
tries haven't grown up in 20 years
since | was a young fellow. They are
still Infant industries" and need to
be hand fed on a high tariff bottle.
The anti-tariff cartoonists today will
have to draw even bigger and more
over-grown babies to picture the situ--
alton adequately.
THE first great work of the Repub-
lican party was to win the Civil
war and free the slaves. For 80
years after that good work was done
the Republican leaders continued to
make it an issue. They insisted on
waving the bloody shirt" as people
used to say. That meant bringing
forward the old war issues, long after
everybody else was thinking Of new,
immediate and pressing problems that
ought to have occupied exclusively the
attention of statesmen But Repubi-
cans still wanted to talk about the war,
rake over old hatreds and keep old
sores open. Theirs was vain attempt
to hold to a Republican party issue
that once really had meant something.

and South were trying to forget the
war and cooperate in reconstructing
a new, better nation.
: The course of the Republican party
with the high protective tariff issue
has been much the same. At one time
it was advisable to encourage the de-
velopment of American manufac-
turies. A protective tariff was need
ed then. It was an issue which kept
the Republicans in power, and prob
ably justly so. But long ago those in
dustries became the biggest, the most
prosperous and the most profitable in
the world. Not only that. They be-
came great monopolies, trusts, combi-
nations and constituencies profiteers.
But they still cry for high protective
tariff pap, and the Republicans hang
onto the corpse of that old doctrine!
THIS is more serious, creates a
more sinister situation and men
aces the common people-the con-
sumers and farmers more than Wav-
ing the bloody shirt by the same kind
of political montebanks ever did in
the '70s and '80s. In those days, hang
ing onto the dead. Civil war issues
meant mostly talk only. It gave the
Republicans "moraP' issue, enabling
them to stir up old prejudices to keep
their power. But hanging onto the
exploded doctrine of high tariff to-
day means we are actually going to
get a dose of it, enforced by law. For
the Republicans have an overwhelm-
ing majority in this congress. While
they will lose the votes Of the progress
sive wing of the party, and the Demo-
Gratis will be against them, they will
have enough votes to put over the.
vicious amended Fordney tariff bill.
At least that's how it looks at this
writing. -
The Republican permanent tariff
bill makes as high, and in some cases
higher, duties than the discredited
Payne-Aldrich tariff. For signing
and defending that tariff Taft was
defeated for reelection as president,
and the Democrats went in, back in
1912. You probably remember that
campaign. Even old-time, loyal Re
publicans could not stomach the
Payne-Aldrich tariff. It was demon
strated beyond any doubt that it was
robbing the working man and the
farmer.
And SO the Republicans were licked
in 1912, chiefly on the tariff issue. One
of the first things the Democrats did
when they got in was to reduce the
