But in these days of organization and gentle­ men’s agreement, competition d hang so far as he cares. Our manufacturer buys his raw product where he can buy chcajM-st. He cannot be blamed for that. But when he buy» Australian wool be­ cause it can I* bought for less than Il can be produced In America.while he demands and gets protection in the way of a high tariff, does not l«»ok exactly fair. The American consumer might he willing to pay a high price for his goods if the government reaped any benefit from an extreme higher tariff. But when he aces he is taxed higher prices just to enrich manu­ facturers. he has just cause to kick. If our government derives any lienefit from duties on imports, for­ eign made goods must 1« Imported. Hence a tariff which will provide the largest revenue is the proper files. But when a high protective tariff is on. leas importations result under normal conditions, vet the price is higher to the American consumer. No wonder manufacturing con­ cerns are willing to contribute lib­ erally to that party which. If suc­ cessful. will give them high protec­ tion. But the American cotwumer, who consumes the goods, will have something to say. The doctrine of taxing the many for the benefit of the few la not good Americanism. Congress is right to levy higher duties, providing that such levy pro­ duces more revenue, bul it is wrong to place the duty so high that goods will not be imported. A lobby of domestic manufacturers is not a safe adviser for the American consumer. why is rr ?
