We realize that of the rates carried in the
bill will be assaied The cities will insist that the
agricultural rates too high and the rural sections
would like to see materially reduced industrial
schedules. prominent speaker before the United
States Chamber of Commerce last week made strong
plea for lower duties a stimulus to our foreign
trade. He called attention to the number of American
manufacturers who have set plants in foreign lands
for the manufacture of farm and other machinery in
order to benefit from the low wage scales there in
effect. To whom would he open the door To Danish
and New Zealand butter? To Czecho -Sovakian shoes?
To tractors made in the United Kingdom? To pota-
toes from Canada? To cattle from Argentina? To
sheep from Australia? To eggs and poultry from
China? Indeed, the very purpose of the tariff is to
keep the doors closed to the products from other lands
where wages and living conditions much lower
than in country. Surely, the speaker must
have realized that sell our butter and eggs,
poultry and meats, grains and fruits to American
workingmen and not to the pauper labor of other
lands. Throw the American laboring out of work
and you destroy the American market for the products
of our farms and factories. Undoubtedly if this were
done would be able to buy everything much cheap
er but unfortunately, would have money with
which to buy. We cannot forget that the present low
butter price is largely due to unemployment in our
large industrial centers-Wadena Pioneer Journal.

Grating Uplifters
- ONE time ago the commissioner of public well
fare of New York declared that many so-caled
- charitable agencies divert to the of their
personnel least fifty percent of the money collected
from the public.
This statement made before conference of
charities and corrections, and coming from such an
authoritative source is entitled to consideration.
Many welfare" campaigns are conducted by pro-
fessional workers percentage basis, whereby the
promoters and their associates reap great personal
benefits, according to the commissioner These social
workers" often only social parasites who exploit
the generous impulses of the ordinary citizen for their
profit and glorifcaton.
This should deter charitaby inclined pereons
from giving really worthy through reputable
agencies like the Red Cross and Salvation Army, Tor
