Mrs. Bill Jones what she can
make in her own kitchen with
her own egg beater, sewing

her how to go to work, how to
sell her work, what to charge
for it,. AS for example

Restoration of Prosperity = By Claude G. Bowers

been wrecked by an uneconomic
governmental policy. The pro-
hibitive tariff walls have been
our ruin. Other nations have
taken aggressive steps to keep
the products of our factories
and farms from their markets.
England is preparing to fol-
low in the wake Of Canada and
France. Stanley Baldwin, head
ing the Tory party, is urging a
protective tariff there to keep
us from her markets, so that
the English government will be
in position to bargain with us
for resumption of trade be-
tween the two countries.
Practically all economists
have agreed that this tariff is
responsible for the loss of trade,
and therefore of prosperity. AL
most all leading financiers and
business men who have studied
the situation with an earnest
desire to find a remedy, con-
cede that normal trade depends
upon a downward, revision of
the tariff act. ,Nine-tenths Of
the American press comedies
the point.
But the Administration has
attached itself to the Grundy
act with the tenacity of
cockleburr to a cows tail, and
refuses even to consider a re-
vision.
Why We Have Lost
Foreign Markets
Another reason for the fail
ure of our foreign trade is that
SO many Of the countries, Of
fering the most enormous mar
ketS for our products, are op-
Grating on the silver basis;
and, for Illustration, We only
accept the Chinese silver dol
lar as worth % cents.
Naturally, China cannot af-
ford to trade with us; and
practically all our exports to
that land of teeming millions
have fallen off to nothing. The
same is true of India, with it's
many millions more.
China is described as pros
porous by Senator Pittman,
who has just returned. He
found peace and abundant
prosperity, with no noticeable
unemployment in Shanghai,
Hongkong, Tientsin, Hankow
or other cities.
Money, Chinese money, was
abundant, and there was much
building and great activity in
real estate; but Senator Pitt
man found American and
British business men in China
unable longer to do business
with the Chinese.

But the Government can put
these men back to work through
an enormous prosperity loan for
public construction. The wages
these men get will then be
spent; the merchants business
will revive, and he will need
more goods; the factories will
have to speed up to supply the
stores, and this will put men
back into the factories.
But the Administration, ap-
parently. is opposed to this
program.
