TEST OF AN IDEAL TARIFF

" extent of the freight charges between foreign countries

should not be. the sole test, but the labor cost,, which. is a
.-'"'very 'different .thing." An American manufacturer 'may
pay loo per cent more wages to hit employes than a

;;not be more than 25 per cent more, because he hat better
