THE AMEJUCAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
The Tariff Question.
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-

Slats' Diary
By Ross Farquhar
Friday Since the wimmen has

awful lot of calling and
tipping there hat and

dog and dresses very stylish and has

the Ladys aid today.
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. This paper had hoped to see
