THE HIGHWAYMEN OF TRADE
ca; and does it in a larger way, owing to its greater value
there on account of the high exchange rates.
The American people understand all this; they voted
overwhelmingly for a protective tariff in the last general
election, and they are becoming more disgusted every day
that the party in power, entrusted with their mandate, de
Jay and procrastinate and piddle and listen to hot air
speeches. "
They want action
And the more extensive the propaganda of the importers
becomes, the greater grows the disgust of the voters of this
country, men and women alike.
The weather is hot in Washington but the great ma
jority of the people of this country would like t,o see it grow
hotter and hotter hot enough to sizzle the members of the
two houses of Congress into passing the protective tariff
bill, and the ship subsidy bill. The monkey business of the
men dancing to the rmi3ic of the profiteering importers has
been going on far too long.
T
Most of our farmers, will be glad
to get the June fains eariy in
July.
The importers who.are making such enormous profits are
r pending-vast sums in an auempi tu ucicat ui,ccu c-
lay the enactment of the new tariff law
As every day of delay means a large amount on the profit
fiide.of .the ledger for these people, who employ no labor in
yus "counutry and have nq capital invested here.
' These ,nien are the higliwaymen of trade.
f They take their toll,' and make it as high as the traffic
will bear "
i And they have a better thing than a gold mine or a string
of gold mines, or a township of. gusher oil wells
While it lasts .
y And they naturally want to make it last as long as
possible. ,v . . : , '
f ' ' . - . .
These corsairs of fcommerce have the nerve to appeal to
the women voters of the country, on the screens of the mov
ing picture houses of Salem and other cities, and in various
other "ways attempting to show to the women that they will
have v to pay much higher prices under a protective tariffs
, There is nothing to ihe argument; but if the argument
were true, the women of this, country have sense enough to
know that the policy,', of. free trade would throw the men and
women workers in large numbers ut of employment and
where" is there! a woman 'who woulji throw her husband out
of employment in order. that she might buy at bargain prices
things made in Japan or, China or (EurQpe?
And where would she get the money to buy?
The fact is, however, that theselmporters are selling dol
lar watche3 in this country that they swear cost only 8 cents
In American money to Germany, and which come in practi
cally free of duty-and they are selling them to our people
for a dollar; and on a long list of manufactured articles they
are -making the same proportion of enormous profits.
: Never before in the history of this country did the .im
porters have such rich pickings ;
And no wonder, they want to keep it up as long as pos
sible; a few days ofgraca means a fortune for.every large
importer. . """ " ".C"t

It is. an economical fact often repeated but not alwavs
fully appreciated that a dollar spent for productive purposes
in the United States changes hands ten times in a year. The
wage earner spends the dollar for food, the merchant pays it
over to, the wholesaler, the wholesaler hands it on to the
manufacturer or packer, the' manufacturer uses it to buy
from the farmer,, and the farmer buys clothing
And so on around the widening circle
But if that dollar be sent to Asia or Europe, it? circulates
there and does the service there it should be doing in Atneri-

Dr. Wu Tink Fang, former en

he was in Washington. He was
in demand as an after dinner
The speech of James M. Beck
before the Pilgrim Society of
London made clear to the people
of England that this, country was
irrevocably committed to that
form of government that has mor
ality and law for its foundation,
and that Russia, existing under
a regime that repudiates every
principle for which men and na
tions .have fought for centuries,
would be treated as an inter
national outlaw. Mr. Beck, while
Boroughly able to speak . and
kink for himself on this question

pr this nation and those respon
ible for its policies, and especial
f In so far as they in any way
felate to foreign matters.
In the final analysis of all
fuestions, however big may be
Mheir import, it is always true
that the principle involved is one
f elementary simplicity, one
that controls men in their daily
latercourse with one another. If
St is wrong for the Individual
fnan to commit murder, it is
likewise wrong for nations to do
Uhe same thing. In other words.
anurder is murder, and it does
pot matter -underv what circum
stances of power or authority it
Is committed. The Judgment of
mankind has made ft such and
it will so remain as long as this
Is a civilized world. But if ever
the day comes when human life
has no value, is no 1 nr,3r sacred,
then the high priests of Common

But before that event sn take

Scientists and inventors are
busy with the problem of stor
ing power. They have in mind
the idea of not only converting
the heat of the sun into power
to run a factory or ship, but to
store that power so that it may
be available at any time. They
would capture the power and
glory of a golden day and chain
it for service on a cloudy night.
But it is the storage of power
they want, no matter what may
be the original source of the
power. There is power in so
many thlngs the movement of
the tides, the boisterous kiss of
the north wind, the flutter of the
woodpecker's wing and the deep
breathing of the ant. Only the
other day a zealous inventor, ask
ed for a patent on a device that
would store up the power wasted
in a rocking chair and use it to
run a sewing machine. Possibly
one might rock the baby and at
the same time wind the clock
and turn the ire rrcam freezer.
