UNITED STATES AFFORDS
PROTECTION TO WORKERS
Difference in England And This
Country Compared

A study of the per capita customs
duties collected since the war is of
increasing interest as showing how
fal!acious is the hue and cry of "exor-
bitant" American tariff.
For years after the armistice, the
customs duties collected in the Unit
ed States averaged less than one cent
per capita per day, substantially the
same as before the war, whereas in
'free trade" England, where the fac
tory worker still remains unprotect-
ed, the per capita customs duties were
more than three times the per capita
duties in the United States.
Under the new schedule of customs
duties adopted by the United States
in the latter part of 1922, the per
capita duties have increased to about
IA cents per day, surely very light
tax where the standards of wage and
standards of living are higher than
in any other country in the world.
The Republican., 1924-11-13

tenn should, as its first consideration,
establish the principle of so arrang-
ing tariff schedules as best to af-
ford protection to those of its citizens
who must support themselves and
their families by honorable daily toll,
to the end that reasonable standards
of living may be maintained, that
family savings may be possible, and
that the welfare of all the people be
promoted.
In England the tariff is placed on
necessities the workmen buy and is
primarily to raise revenue. In the
United States the tariff is placed on
what the workmen or farmer pro-
duces and is to protect him against
The Republican., 1924-11-13

Nothing is more apparent to the
student of the situation than that the
rate of growth of the great manufac-
turing industries of England had for
many years before the war steadily
declined, during which period like in
dustries in the United States, Ger
many and Japan had correspondingly
increased.
The people of England and the
United States are more and more de-
pendent upon the success of their
manufacturing industries. Their
problems of competition with cheap
foreign labor are identical.
To import without restriction into
either country manufactured products
The Republican., 1924-11-13

from those countries having a de-
graded wage scale is to force the pay
of home labor to the lowest world
level.
All of those who ignore the we'll be-
ing of the wage earners, the importer
of foreign manufactures is the worst
offender. His cheief interest and pro-
fit is to put in competition with the
industries of his own country the pro-
ducts of cheap labor of the rest of the
world.
No more serious duty rests upon
the state than to provide reasonable
safeguards against idleness and un-
employment. t would seem automatic
that well-thought out customs sys-

Don't BE Mlsled!

DONT be mised about the Skagit project.
- Persons responsible for the management Of the
huge undertaking and the apparent ruthless expend
ture of light department funds will tell you The
Stars warning and criticism is water on the wheel
Of the power trust; that privately-owned utility
heads are enjoying immensely The Stars expose of
enterprise it stood for; that any investigation
will mean further and more expensive delay.
The facts are:
The power trust if running true to FORM would
like nothing better than 10 the city light depart
ment bunder along until it founders in sea of ex-
pense, msmanagement and utter failure. It's fond
est hope that The Star and other champions of public
ownership be kept quiet until such time as the
Skagt builders given all the rope in the world find
themselves so tangled that the power company, in
the role of life guard, step in, straighten out
the tangled and take the plant off the city's
hands on some sort Of lease proposition, the city
to absorb its losses in any way it might be able to.
When sincere newspaper has nursed along a
project as The Star has the Skagt and other publicly
owned utility enterprises, it is not going to stand by
and the whole idea defeated by what seems to be
utter incompetence the part of managing heads.
1t is not going to be turned aside by muddy water
such as city hall politicians stir up in the vain hope Of
befogging our vision and relieving the pressure
If the Skagit project fails enemies of public owner
ship will point to it glazing example of
public ownership fizze.
It's wasted will be hung in the trees for
every trust buzzard in the country to peck at.
This Skagt project is ours Seattle; let's take pos
session and find out the why of all the secrecy
and mystery that surrounds it. We started it; let's
finish 1t in way that can use it without bank
rupting the city.
