conditions in agriculture and it is
essential to the welfare Of the entire
community"
This is literally and gravely true
as to the whole public. There Is
not man, woman or child in the
country who is not affected by the
high freight rates both in respect OF
the food consumed by American
families and in respect OF the ma
terial transported for working up
by American wage-earners.
II is particularly and tragicaliy
true as TO the American farmer who
has nothing left from the sale OF his
crop after he has paid the freight
on shipping II TO the market where
he sells It. The major cost OF oper-
ating the railroad which hauls the
crops is labor. The major cost OF
the coal which drives the locomotive
IS labor at the mine, in transporting
it and turning II over to the carrier
consumer as to the farmer con
sumer.
So the American farmer is work
ing, in truth. for the labor organi-
cations which handle his products

Tie president Of the National AS
sociation Of Manufacturers, in the
course OF his address to his conven-
ton called to consider the subject of
the tariff. emphaucally stated the
necessity of protection from compe-
tition OF Europe and other cheap
labor countries. Another report from
Washington is to the effect that the
agricultural bloc in the Senate is
agreed on. the modified American
valuation plan as now pending.
Here is an evidence that an un-
derstanding is being reached on tie
tariff question. No greater duty con-
fronted the Harding Administration
than the revision Of the so-called
Underwood tariff, which embodies
to the greatest possible extent the
Democratic doctrine OF free trade.
The failure of that law to produce
revenue or TO protect American in
dustry was made clear before the
war came to disturb conditions. 1t
would have produced disaster long
ago. had It not been for the effect Of
the war on American foreign COM
merce With the prospect Of stabil-
ity aLead, the Underwood schedule
is a distinct danger to our future.
Europe can not produce as yet on
a pre-war scale, but already has
surplus, a considerable part Of which
Is finding market in the United States.

a day of idleness for an American
workman.
Some advocates OF a low tariff
argue that Europe will not be able
to pay the debt owed to America in
cash, and so must pay in kind. One
Of the visitors from England to
the Washington conference said that
British workmen can make our au-
tomobiles, typewriters and the like,
and so in few years the debt now
due from England will be dis
charged He did not tell us what is
TO be done with the skilled mechan-
les of our own land while the work.
ers OF Great Britain were employed
in supplying the American market
with manufactured wares.
Our farmers are as deeply con-
cerned In this as are the manufac-
turers, for unless the factories are
running full time. the consumptive
demand Of the city population is re-
duced, and the farmers market is
thereby restricted. What the protec-
tive tariff should do is TO equalize
conditions so as to protect the home
market at all points from foreign in
vasion. Our external commerce at
its utmost is scarcely more than one
eighth of the domestic trade, and
We can not afford to let down the
bars any further in order to accom-
modate Europeans. All are anxious
to see the affairs OF the world set in
order. and health restored to every
nation, but there is not selflshness
in keeping the American market for
the American producer so far as it
possibly can be done.

Truth About the Railroads

improves without car construction,
car shortages will become acute
and congestion will be followed by
the usual economic arrangements.
Each periodic crisis, the Secretary
thinks. will cost the American peo-
pie about a billion dollars TO avoid
this loss. Mr. Hoover believes the
government ought to lend its credit
to the railroads.
Recently there has been a great
effort to persuade the farmers that a
recovery OF agriculture is dependent
upon an extension OF credits to for
eign countries. Mr.. Hoover advises
armers who are looking to foreign
markets as an outlet for their sur
plus to consider that our home con-
sumption OF meat decreased nearly
seven pounds per capita In 1921,
mostly because OF unemployment
and that II this decrease could be
overcome It would be worth more to
the farmer than a 35 per cent in
crease In exports. He adds: I'VE
talk glibly of giving billions to for
eign countries to increase our farm
exports. wish to say, with all re-
sponsibility for the statement, that a
billion dollars spent upon American
railways will give more employment
to our people, more advance to our
industry, more assistance to our
farmers than twice that sum ex-
pended outside the frontiers OF the
United States-aAd there will be
greater security for the investor"
Here are two thoughts which
every one Interested in economic re-
covery should take to heart. Self
help for America means immediate
help for the railroads.
