PROTESTS CENSUS LISTING
HOUSEWIVES "NON-PRODUCTIyE.'

The housewives all over the coun-

which lists them as productive"
according to Mrs Thomas C. Winter,
president, in n speech at ChautauquR,
in which she said: us not the pie
made Ia home as good IS the one at
the bakery? Isn't the dress made BY
the housekecper as nice as the one
made by the professional dressmaker?
Housckeepers save the government
many millions OF dollars yearly. To
provo this l will cite the instance of
a busy wife and mother who was asked
20 do campaign work. She answered
that II they would see that her three
children wer provided with cooked
food that their clothing was made
washed and ironed. she would do IT,
She stated that she had been doing
these things herself without outside
help. II was agreed, but this necessi-

husbands salary was $3.50 per month.
She took great delight in the fact that
she was contributing more to the home
than Walter was, and at last he knew
it! Mr.. Stewart, director OF the census,
has agreed to issue alb ulletin OF two
typical counties, one city and one

tive in Connection with the housewife

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ceccccc Geo ccooccccc


Washington. Frequently We find
substantial protection arguments in
the columns of the free trade press"
declares the Republican Publicity As
sociation. AN illustration of this is
found in the editorial columns of the
Lynchburg, Virginia, News owned
and published by Senator Carter Glass.
Under the heading 'Patronizing Home
Industries it is asserted that every
dollar spent for goods in some other
city leaves Lynchburg that much poor
er and makes the other city dollar
richer The economic studies of Mr..
Glass enable him to grasp the sound
ness of that declaration, but seem not
great enough to comprehend the appli-
cation of the same doctrine to interna-
tional trade.
"The truth of the statement quoted
above is no clearer, however. than the
.ta cement which might as readily be
made that a dollar spent for goods il
that much poorer and makes the othe.
nation a dollar richer The American
national policy can also be appropri-
ately applied TO the further argumen
the I.ynchburg News when it says.
Why people who have the interest O
the community at heart will do tina
sort of thing is one of those strange
alterations of human nature that /.
hard to reconcile with good citizen
ship
Republicans have always been M
able to reconcile the Democrtic free
trade policy with good American citi
zenship. Republicans have been I'M
able to understand how a mon of the
educational attainments and business
experience of Senator Glass can ad-
vocate a tariff policy which encour-
ages American people to blu ythe prod
ucts of cheap labor in Europe and Asia
to the neglect and sacrifice of Ameri-
can industry. 1t is indeed, strange
alteration Of human nature that
causes Democratic leaders to adhere
to the theory that It'll best to buy
where you can blu ythe cheapest.
at is a long recognized economic
fact that a dollar spent in trade
changes hands some ten times in a
year. The man who receives it in
trade, whether for labor or for mate
rails, does not keep it idle in his pock-
ct but hands it n to some other pro-
Queer of materials or to some other
workman. The dollar once started in
its circuit does ten dollars worth of
business in year. If that dollar be
spent in Lynchburg and kept in
Lynchburg, 1t means ten dollars worth
Of business activity in the period of
twelve months.
dollar spent in the United States for
the purchase of American products
means ten dollars worth of business In
the United States in year; whereas,
II that dollar be sent to England, or
Germany, or China, or Japan, or to
South America, or South Africa, that
same dollar will do ten dollars worth
Of business there, multiplying by ten
our business competition.
"It would be well il the business
men Of Lynchburg would ask Mr..
Glass to explain to them how he can
reconcile his plea for the patronizing
Of Lynchburg industries with his tar
in theories which encourage American
citizens to patronize foreig nrather
than American industries"

That is a challenge which, as Mr..

firmly met.
