THE ROMANCE OF BORAX.

is nriniarily tho result of tho urotootttb tariff Una'n
strilcftig ins'tniwol' its actual working in the "holding up
nf Airtrri(Mi iitrtustK"
The grout di iart of this two hundred million dollars hay
boon fifohed from tho pookots of tho Ainorioan ioojilo, n
few pennies from each, as has every other groat fortune uf;
today. v
' Borax" Smith's career is tho stereotyped mixture ot
poor beginnings, ham struggles, questionable ethics, op
portunity, business acumen, speculative daring, blind luck,
through all of which ran the thread of acquisitiveness and
financial genius. His present trouble is duo to his in
satiable speculative proclivities.
before the discovery of the borax deposits of Death
Valley and tho Nevada (lesort and in the lakes and swamps
of California, tho borax used in America was nearly all
imported. It sold to the peoplo at three cents a pound.
There was no material duty upon it.
' After tho utilization and commercialization of those
borax deposits, a protective tariff of five cents a pound to
"developo and encourage an infant American industry"
was added. Since then tho American people have paid
eight cents a pound instead of three' cents for their borax.
' Borax can be produced and is produced cheaper in the
United States than in any place on earth, yet the discovery
pf borax1 in commercial quantities, and its development
into a huge industry, has never benefited the people one
tient, but has cost them an enormous sum in tho aggregate.
' ''Borax" Smith is the father of the borax trust and has
been the principal beneficiary of the tariff. The people of
the United States have boon taxing themselves five cents a
pound on their borax lo pile up a fortune of $200,000,000
for Smith, under the impression that thoy are fostering nil
ihdustry. .
' Borax is only one instance the same story is rehashed
tin nearlv everything wo eat, drink or wear. Js it any
wonder the eos't of living constantly increases when we
have been taxing ourselves to create so many fabulous for
tunes for the Borax Smiths of the country
The Underwood tariff may not be scientific, but it pro
vides a wholesale cut in the revenues of tlje Borax Smiths',
who having milked the people as long as possible, realize
the graft is at an end and the bunco game of protection
is played out, and are retiring to live on the proceeds thoy
have filched.
The new tariff is a move in tho right direction, for
equality before tho law and equal opportunity, can only
be secured by abolition of special favors, which free trade
alone con accomplish.
If in the reorganization and graft elimination tho Borax
Smiths' go to the wall they have only themselves to
blame. The sooner we have the readjustment, the better
for tho country. The rebuilding will be on a sounder basis.
