THE PBOFITEER WORKS.
STEADILY ON

Go back to those halcyon days-the
days before gop deflation set upon
us-there were people and corpora
tions that gouged because the gouging
was good. The people had money
jinglins in their pockets. They en-

Yet in those days rrofiteer was
synonym for a robber How he was
dcnouncedi We may never know how
many of them there were We do
know, however, that there grew up
26,0D0 millionaires almost over night.
For every three American soldiers
who died in the war. one millionaire
came into being.
After the war the government turn
ed IT'S attention to prosecuting the
profitcers and to those implicated in
war frauds. The present admlnistra-
tiOn promised to carry the good work
on. Hard times set in and the pick
ings were not so good for profltecrs.
But something happened to the fed
eral legal department so that it has
been paralyzed in the work Of prose
cutting fraud since the war.
But the work Of the profiteer goes
on. The shedding is tougher. yet not
so high. TIE manufacturers who
used to tell us commodities were high
because of depleted stocks and for
oign demand are now boosting prices
because there is plenty Of everything.
OF course they do not admit there is
plenty of everything. They say the
magic word. TARIFF" They would
have us believe that the tariff covers
the multitude OF sins that add So ,OOO.-
100000 to our cost of living. As a
matter Of fact the government will
get about one-Grtioth of that amount
additional revenue. The remainder

Of congress and the senate was kind
enough to adopt the cotton tariff
schedule just as Llppitt wrote It.
The chief lobbyist for an increased
tariff tax on gloves was an ex-member
of congress, Lucius N. Bittauer Of New
York. lie Is always a familiar figure
in Washington when a tariff bill is
being prepared. lie Is a glove manu-
facturcr and Is thoroughly convinced
that the tariff should always be re-
vlsed by its friends. That he sincerely
believes in a high tariff was concu-
slvely proved when he was convicted
OF smuggling and sentenced to six
months I'm Jail and fined $1,000.
The tariff on leather gloves was
from cents to 46 cents per pair un-
der tho Underwood law. Mr.. Littauer
and his Collaborators succeeded in hav.
ing the rates fixed in the Fordney-
McCumbcr Tariff Law at from 36is
cents to $1.S7 per pair. Under the old
law our leather gloves were 13 per
cent Of our total domestic production.
Substantially all of the imports were
of gloves not made in the United
States, and they yielded the govern
ment some revenue.
The new tariff is practically an en-
barge on foreign gloves and the gov
ernmcnt will lose the revenue it re-
ceived under the old law. At a time
when the price Of everything is fised
by some sort Of trust, IT Is disheartcn-
ing to see the congress of the United
States rush to the aid Of the profi~
teers.
\ tariff that equals the difference
in the cost of production here and
abroad, is all that the glove manufaC-
turcrs could honestly ask, but the a M
erican Fair Tariff League. which pro-
tested against these eXtortionate rates,
says they are more than three times

this kind Is an invitation to plunder
the consumer in the name OF protec-
tion to American labor, and the invi-

public.

A CHANCE FOR A COMPOSER

There was decrease of $3.50, ,000,-
900 in the food products for the first
nine months of the fiscal year. over
that Of 1921. and in the last month a
falling off for that period of 100000
600 as compared with September
1921.
our Missouri farmers will not fail
to ask the reason for this. They have
not forgotten that the emergency
tariff was thrown to them with the
promise that It would help their con-
dition. The same promise is made for
the Tordney- bill.
with exports OF farm products still
falling, what is the farmer to do in
order to dispose OF his surplus? What
the high tariff wall has done and is
doing to farmers is arousing them to
demand its repeal. VIII the farmers

OH HOW FRIENDLY 1T WAS,

1t could not but be noticeable how
particularly friendly the congress Just
adjourned was to those trusts under
indictment by federal grand juries
and among those who received addi-
tionnl protection from it, were those
engaged in manufacturing window
glass, cement, cast iron pipe ana
drainage tile.
Window glass carried a tariff Of 90
per cent under the old law, and under
the Fordncy- y-McCumbcr act the aver
age duty is 2S per cont. or an increase
of about 300 per cent
Cement was on the free list under
the old law, but, heavy as it IS to ship.
IS now favored with the tariff against
foreign cement Of 20 pcr cent.
Cast iron pipe paid a duty Of 10 per
cent under tho old law, which was in
creased to 90 per cent by the trainers
Of the Forluey- McCumbcr law--an
Increase Of 100 per cont
Drainage and other tiles were rc-
quired to pay tariff tax Of lis per
cent under the old law, but congress
generously increased this tax to 50 per
cent
These huge trusts are all under in
dictment for price fixing. Their prod
ucts are common necessities and are
made as cheaply in the United States
"a, anywhere in the world.

IS window glass manufacturers arbI-
