Budapest concern.
A glance at the import statistics
of the ". S. department of COM
merce for the calendar year 1921
indicates that these foreign prices
are not misstated. For example,
632,16 dozen pocketknives i'm
ported last year were valued at
$792,772-$1.25 a dozen, or about
1Oh cents each; 275,193 dozen
raZors and parts of, valued at
S5l5,418-S1.SS a dozen. or less
than 16 cents each; 591,7S5 dozen
pairs of scissors and shears, valued
at 1913, ,965-$1.66 a dozen, or less
than IA cents a pair. Thermos
bottles are not separately stated;
but reference may be made TO the
importation of 642.244 mantles for
gas burners, valued at $2S,84 or
Az cents each; 691, 1853 gross of
pencils and pencil leads valued at
$413,647, or less than 60 cents
gross 14,146,167 unblocked hats
valued at $1,968. 100 or less than
IA cents each. and so on down the
line wherever quantities and values
are indicated in the official statls-
tics.
The argument of the American
manufacturers, farmers, working
men, and all who so strongly ad-
vocate the American valuation
plan is that to assess duties on
such foreign values as these
amounts to practically free trade,
and no consumer Is getting the
benefit of these low prices paid by
the importers. who exact profits of
from 200 to 1000 per cent when
they sell over their counters.

presented a direct issue.
at is not true that the Republi-
can candidate had little or nothing
to say about the tariff. In a speech
on Nav IA, more than a month be-
fore his nomination, Mr.. Harding
declared: Before the year is past
there will be a call for the good
old American protection like that
of 1896 In his speech of ac-
ceptance Mr.. Harding said: Il be-
lieve in the protective tariff policy
and know that we will be calling
for il to save Americanism again
In an interview in August, intended
for publication and distribution in
the south where protection senti-
ment has heretofore been least
in evidence, Mr.. Harding pointed
out the need of a protective duty
on sugar, on peanuts, and other
southern products. and denounced
the mistake of applying free trade
policies which had well-nigh de-
stroyed great industries. In his
Labor day speech, as also in his
address to the farmers at Mime
apolis, and in other addresses, Mr..
Harding reiterated his advocacy of
a protective tariff.
aside from the issue of the
League of Nations and the extrava-
gance of the Democratic adminis-
tration, there was no other issue
more prominent in the campaign
than that of the tariff"
The Owosso times., 1922-02-10
COUNTRY DESIRES TARIFF
REVISION

1T is the manifest intention of
leaders of the Democratic party
not to be fair in the coming Con-
gressional campaign. This spirit
of unfairness is clearly indicated in
the minority report submitted by
Representative Claude Kitchin
when the general tariff bill was re-
ported in the House. Mr.. Kitchin
declared, 1T is false to say that the
majority were commissioned by
the people at the last election to
revise the tariff He also declared
that the majority in the Repub-
lican National Convention may
have had in their minds the pur-
pose to revise the tariff yet they
never avowed it to the people, and
in the subsequent campaign their
candidate had little or nothing to
say about the tariff.
1T is true that the tariff was not
the dominant issue in the cam
paign. President Wilson and the
Democratic nominee. Mr.. Cox, had
forced the league of nations as the
principal subject of discussion and
the Republicans accepted the
challenge thus made. But the
Republicans did avow their inten-
tion to revise the tariff upward.
The Republican platform contains
this clause:
1.-The uncertain and unsettled
condition of international balances,
the abnormal economic trade sit
uation of the world. and the i'm
possibility of forecasting accurate
ly even the near future, preclude
the formulation of a definite pro-
gram to meet conditions year
hence. But the Republican party
reaffirms it's belief in the protec-
tive principle and pledges itself to
a revision of the tariff as soon as
conditions shall make it necessary
for the preservation of the home
market for American labor. agri-
culture and industry
THAT was written in June, 1920.
The Republicans in convention ad-
mitted their inability to for
mulate then definite pro
gram for tariff Legislation in 1921.
Nor was there any general revision
of the tariff in 1921. Following
faithfully it's promise to revise the
tariff as conditions demonstrated
the need. the Republicans passed
an emergency agricultural tariff
during 1921. General revision was
left until 1922, much more than a
year after the adoption of the Sec
ton of the Republican platform
quoted above.

WHY THE IMPORTERS WANT
NO TARIFF.

At the special tariff convention
recently held in Washington. under
the auspices of the National Manu-
facturers' association. a number of
articles manufactured in Germany
'aud Austria were exhibited show
ing the fearful disparity in produc-
tion costs of those articles in their
countries or origin and in the
United States. Appended to each
of the exhibits was a photostat
copy of a sales slip issued by the
department store selling the par
ticular article showing the price
at which it was sold to the Amer
lean consumer.
A pair of scissors purchasable in
the German market for IA cents
pair was sold over the counter of
this department store at $500. A
German knife with ornamental
handle, a pair Of scissors folding
in, and a nail file, purchased in the
German market at II cents. was
sold to the American purchaser
over the counter at $3.50. Two
thermos bottles were placed side
by side. The German bottle was
billed through the u. S. customs
house at New York on a German
l.
then rate of exchange was equal
to SA cents American money.
The duty on this type of bottle,
it's chief value bein@ it's metal case,
was 20 per cent. (foreign valua-
tion) or 1t cents. Adding freight
and other expenses the laid down
cost for the bottle in America was
1872 cents. These bottles are sold
by a subsidiary company of the i'm
porters, who operate a chain of
stores in New York city, at 9S cents
each. The American consumer
paid q profit on these German bot
ties of about 500 per cent. A
comparative American bottle
manufactured By the American
Thermos Bottle company.e with
factories in Connecticut. New York
and West Virginia. is put out at
an average production of $1.0l
and retails for $3.50. Under
American valuation. with a duty
rate of so per cent the landed cost
of the German bottle would have
still been below the American pro-
duction cost.
a copy of a Budapest circular
was shown in which the Hungarian
house offered to print $1,000 cir
culars for the equivalent of $36
American money The best price q.
that could be made for similar
work bv a New York printing
house was $293 so. Wages here
are lower than elsewhere, Is times
less than in London, 80 times less
than in New York" declared the
