Willing Wilson

Tho report, which has received credit in many
o~uarters, that former President Wllson mas
erected a political lightning rod and Is w1inhg
to 90 in for a third terms, provided his 1li-neaith
does not interfere, has just about knocked DEMO
cratic party leaders off the Christmas tree.
It is hardly credible that Mr.. Wilson, a CON
valescent. will attempt to do what the robust
Theodore Roosevelt failed to accomplish, OF tnat
the Democratic party would follow him into a
third terms venture. There can be no doubt that
Mr.. Wilson, to the best of his strength and aDh'
ity. will try to keep his party straight on the
issue dearest to his heart the league OF nations.
He will not permit any "wobbling," either by the
marty or by Individual candidates on that point.
The Brennan interview makes it plain that MI
Wilson stands exactly where he stood ON his re-
turn from Paris. He still believes that the United
States must enter the league sooner or Later "and
conform to the league project virtually In inc
form of the treaty of Versailles" This means
without reservation of any kind. There Is no hlnt
of compromise in Mr.. Wilson's attitude.
Now the former president faces the task OF
forcing this program on his party. Practicai
politicians are unwilling to repeat the disastrous
experiment of 1920 on the same paramount Is
sue,n Ayowed Democratic candidates are equal
" lukewarn. Perhaps the former president has
some candidate in mind willing to run on a
straight league platform, and he may have urged
this candidacy so strongly as to recall Roose-
velts threat: "If they don't take Taft they'll get
me-"
If any Democrat can be found to espouse the
league without reservations, he is sure to get Mr..
wilson's support. 1t would be interesting to
know where William G. McAdoo stands on this
proposition.
Mr.. Wilson will make it his business to keep
his party straight" on the league just as MIR.
Bryan Will keep it straight on prohibition.

lust What Has Been Boosted

"The protective magic has not worked. Wheat
has gone down. The price of everything the farm
or has to buy has been put up by the blssed tar
iff.
So runs a statement by the New York Times.
This statement like many utterances on the sub
iect of the tariff is as far from the truth as the
average editorial utterance of the New York
World on the same su~bject-which is an awful
thing to say of any newspaper.
The price of everything the farmer has to buy
has not been put up by the tariff. Let us submit
the proof in the case.
The farmer buys agricultural implements all Of
which are on the free list under the tariff. Not
only agricultural implements in whole or part
but all repair parts of agricultural implements
are on the free list
The farmer buys binding Irvine. All binding
Irvine is on the free list under the tariff.
The farmer buys fertilizer. All bones, bone
dust, bone meal, bone ash and animal carbon
suitable only for fertilizer purposes, guano,
ground or unground, manures and all other sub,
stances used chiefly for fertilizers, potash, pot
ash salts and phosphates, all of which are used
in fertilizers-an these are on the free list under
the tariff.
The farmer buys building material. Building
brick, cement, stone, shingles, pickets, palings,
hoops, slaves of wood of all kinds, logs and tim
Der, either in the rough or hewn sided, square,
planks, and other lumber used for building pur.
poses arc all on the free list under the tariff.
The farmer uses leather gloves, he wears boots
, 1923-10-04

and shoes, he buys harness and saddles and
leather fly-nets. Gloves made wholly or In chief
of leather, all leather used for harness or sad.
dlery, leather for shoe uppers, shoe vamps, soles,
leather shoelaces, boots and shoes made wholly
or in chief of leather, hides of cattle from which
leather is made-al are admitted free under the
tariff.
The farmer uses whetstones and homes. They
are admitted free under the tariff.
The farmer uses horsepads. They are admitted
under the Fordney-M cCumber tariff. The farm
.er uses barbed wire in fencing and for other
purposes. 1t is admitted free under the tariff.
The free list eliminates a very large percentage
of what the farmer buys. If prices of any of these
articles have gone up it is not due to the tariff.
Coal, both hard and soft, slack, coke, and all
compositions for fuel in which coal or coal dust
is the principal material are admitted free.
Therefore, the tariff has not increased the farm
er's fuel bill and is not responsible in any degree
for the high price Of coal.
Obviously if wood and lumber are on the free
list, and change in the cost of household furni-
ture and other articles made of wood which the
farmer buys cannot be charged to the tariff.
After eliminating the farmers building mater
'ial, his agricultural implements, his barbed wire,
his binding Irvine, his fuel, his fertilizer, his
leather goods of all kinds, his household furni-
ture and whatever other commodities he pur-
chases in which wood enters, what is there left to
charge up against the tariff?
Whatever is left comes under the classified
ton of manufactured articles ready for con-
sumption" or manufactured articles for further
use in manufacturing"
The theory of free trade and the only virtue
it has is that it permits large imports of goods,
which by entering into competition with home.
made goods, keeps down the price. According
to the free trader, the larger the imports the,
better for the consumer. The following is a table
showing imports of manufactured goods ready
for further use in manufacturing" This table i,
