THE UNEQUAL STRUGGLE

The Democratic candidacy for Sena-

AN OPEN LETTER

There appeared in the columns of
this good paper a few weeks ago a
very ugly and insinuating article
from the pen of a gentleman from
California, who claimed to be a min
lister in the Church of the Nazarene,
and who was pastor of the local
church in Mt. Sterling, in which he
leaves the impression that the closing
of the tent meeting which was being
conducted by your humble servant
and wife was due to the fact that we
were not standing for the principles
of our church. Here and now wish
to deny the allegation and defy the
author of the statement. l further
more wish to state to the public that
closed the meeting of my own voli-
ton, and my reason for bringing the
meeting to an abrupt ending was due
to the fact that Mr.. Hill, the pastor,
and a number of his folks were liv-
ing in open violation of the laws of
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-07-27

and circumstances, you perhaps have
proven your case to your entire sat
isfaction. You make the mistake,
however. of assuming all the while
that the change in valuation can on
ly apply to the American market
Your example overlooks the chang
ing of prices in the other countries.
The debates in the senate show that
very substantial advances in the
prices of products as well as of labor
are being made in Germany. and par
ticularly was this true during the
months of January and February.
"Now let us take your illustration
with the price of the article, So, and
with so per cent ad valorem tariff
duty of $4 Then assume that the
price in Germany advances from 81
to $6. ( this article was to enter
the United States, the importer
would have to pay the German price,
S6, plus the ad valorem duty of 81,
or s1O so it would be utterly impos-
sible for the German article to en-
ter the United States, with the effect
that there would be no competition
at all between domestic and foreign
articles, and the producer in the Un-
tied States could advance his price
from So to just below $40 The fur
ther result would foolow that the tar
iff duty which supposedly was intend
ed as a source of revenue to the gov
ernment of the United States would
yield no revenue whatsoever. Effects
will differ with varying prices.
81 understand, of course, some
men holding economic views like
your own are absolutely opposed to
any imports which in any way tend
to compete with their products. If
that is sound policy, then 1t would
be simpler and wiser to place an en-
barge at once nall imports; but no
school of thought with which l am
familiar is willing that this shall be
done during a period of peace.
Again, I note your suggestion,
Let us take an article at valuation
in Germany of $4, France $5, Eng
land Sc and the United States So.
Under American valuation the tariff
should be SO per cent, which would
compel the German, French and Eng
lish people to pay "a tariff on that
article. On the other hand, if foreign
valuation were used it would mean
that tariff of 100 per cent must be
placed on the article, whereby the
German would pay "a, the French
man$6 and the Englishman $6 tariff.
again, it is your purpose to keep
out all competition. You would make
the price of the German article with
the 80 per cent tariff duty sS, the
French 50, and the English $40. In
other words, your plan would limit
all American buying to Germany"
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-07-27

One OF the most valuable contri.
buttons to the tariff discussion is a
letter written by Senator Atlee Pom
creme, Democrat. Ohio. to large
manufacturer which the senator had
inserted in the Congressional Rec.
ord in lieu Of speech. II deals with
the American valuation plan. which
the pending tariff bill authorizes the
president to substitute for. foreign
valuations under certain conditions.
The senator first disproves the sug-
gestion of his correspondent that IL
is easier to determine American val
ues than foreign values by stating
that we have consular officers and
treasury agents in every part of the
world and that their reports are
available to custom officials, and fur
ther that custom officials have the
right to call witnesses and books and
papers an dinquire into foreign val
ues of the importers, the same as
under the American valuation plan.
One great value of Senator Pome-
rene's letter to the average reader is
/ nthe concrete illustration of how
the American valuation plan would
work. His letter says:
ITO sustain your contention that
the American valuation plan would
not aid the American producer in ad-
vancing prices you say, If an article
is valued at 81 in Germany and
similar article has valuation in
the United States of sS, then to
equalize the difference under the
American valuation so per cent tar
If should be set. That would mean a
tariff on the article in question of
81. Add that S4 to the 81 German
and the result is IS, thus
equalizing the American valuation of
a similar article
"You further say, If then the
American manufacturers try to raise
the price, let us see what would hap
pen. Supposing they boost the price
TO $40. then the tariff would be so
per cent of $40, or s5. Add that SIS
tariff to the 81 German valuation and
the German selling price to the I'm
tied States would be So. The result
plainly shows that the American
could not boost the
price; otherwise the Germans could
take all the business
"Given your hypothetical illustra-
ion with your hypothetical prices
