Abraham Lincoln made the obser vation that if we bought goods abroad we had the goods and the for eigner had our money; but if we bought goods at home we had both the goods and the money. This com presses the entire protective tariff question into one sentence. The sale in this country of every foreign made article the like of which is being made or could be made here means the sale of one less American made article. The total loss of sales of American made ar ticles because of the importation and sale of foreign made goods means much less production in American factories. Decreased production in American factories means but one thing, the laying off of working men. The increase of idleness in this coun try due to this policy means but one thing, hard times for everyone. The American working man is the big gest and best customer of the Am erican farmer. The American work ing man is the biggest anl best cus tomer of American made goods. He is America's leading consumer. The American farmer has been passing through two years of exper ience which proves he cannot pros per when American working men are idle. Internationalists and free trad ers attempt to persuade the farmer that his prosperity is dependent on foreign markets. The proposition is ridiculous. The American farmer sold more of his crops abroad in 1921 than in any previous year in the history of the United States, yet he knows full well that the prices he received for his crops in 1921 were the lowest in the history of the American agriculture. This effec tually disposes of the claim that for eign markets make the American farmer prosperous. The plain truth is the American farmer got less for his farm pro ducts in 1921 than ever before in the history of this country because of the very simple fact that more American working men were walk ing the streets in 1921 without mon ey to buy food products than ever before in the history of this country. Those who would drive the Ameri can working man into idleness are the worst enemies not only of the American working man but of the American farmer. The American working man is be ing driven into idleness today by the importing interests which are flood ing the United States with goods they have purchased abroad at ab surdly low prices. Their flooding the United States has not benefitted the consumer for they are charging the consumer all the way from 1, 000 to 5,400 per cent profit on these eoods imported from Europe and Asia and they are closing American factories which make like goods. They are keeping hundreds of thou sands of working men out of employment. Their pretensions that they are against the enactment of a protective tariff because they are friends of the consumer is not benefited by any pol icy which throws him out of work, for it must be kept in mind that the American consumer is also the Am erican producer. The American consumer, whose buying power is measured by his pay envelope which he obtains at the factory, is not ben efited by any policy which stops his pay envelope. If he is destroyed as a producer he is also destroyed as a consumer. The American farmer is not benefited by any policy which de stroys the pay envelope of the Amer ican working man. The whole issue and the sole issue involved in the present tariff contro versy is whether or not this nation is going to adopt an economic policy that will build up American indus tries which give employment to mill ions of men and women who in turn buy the products of American farms, sustain American public utilities, build up and develop American com munities or is this nation going to adopt an economic policy which ben efits I few thousand importing in terests which are willing to betray and ruin American industry, Ameri ican labor and American agriculture because by so doing they reap for themselves enormous profits. It is this comparatively small clique of importing interests closely organized and tremendously financ ed that is the backbone of the pre sent fight against the enactment of protective tariff. It is furnishing the funds and conducting the nation wide campaign of propaganda against protective tariff legislation. The American people must make a decision between productive factor ies and prosperous working men on the one hand and profiteering im- V7 Slats' Diary By Ross Farquhar Friday Since the wimmen has got to voteing the candidates do a awful lot of calling and tipping there hat and etc. Today a man be gun to start up are walk and had a card in his hand but Brizz witch is my dog let out abark and a growl &-went for him.

Get Back to Work. A leadero f the manufacturers' as sociation sums up America's chief ailment in the following rather dras tic fashion: "High-priced hotels, theaters, ball parks and other camping grounds of amusement and non-productive are enlarging their capacities to accom modate the ever-increasing army of refugees from the storms of life. "Golf clubs, cigar factories, jewel ry establishments, walking can em poriums, pet dog kennels, canary bird dispensaries and boot legging joints are flourishing as never be fore. Every street and highway throughout the land is teeming with automobiles that the burning expen sive gasoline in the presence of self imposed idleness." That's mighty true, and yet who of us is not guilty in some one par ticular. Most of us, indeed, could be indicted on two, three or half a doz en counts, and some of us on all. The country today is not working hard enough and is demanding as its right those things which normally come only as the reward of work. Ft. Wayne (Ind.) News-Sentinel. According to those who are trav eling over the road between Hepp ner and Monument, there is not much in the way of bringing the people of that part of Grant county to Heppner with their wool and to do their trading at this point, except getting over the Wall creek canyon; the rest of the road is in fine condi tion. It is the opinion of business men here that it would not require' a great amount of work to put this, in fair shape for travel with heavy1 teams, and steps should be taken to j get this work done. There should at least be a very earnest effort nuic on the part of Heimer busi ness interests to find out what is re quired and then get busy and put it over if possible. Why should the people of Monument and vicinity be compelled to travel about dn Me the distance to get out to th railroad at Condon over the John Day highway, when some effort on the part of our business men would bring the trade here.
