FREE TRADE GOSSIP.
Gathered From the Leading News-
Papers of the Country.
Free trade has always represented
a deficiency.
■'Benefiting business with free trade'
reminds us of a man kicking his wife
out of doors *to show her that he
adores her.
The Democratic party is losing on
taxing Americans and opening our
markets for the foreign products,
created by cheaply paid labor abroad.
------o-----
A protective tariff is highway “rob
bery”—except when, as on sugar, It
must be used to help diminish the
growing hole of free trade tariff de
ficits.
If a protective tariff is a diabolical
robbery, as our free trade friends as
sert, what metamorphoses it into an
angelic thing when our free trade
friends need a little of it for staving
off deficits? A tariff on sugar, for
instance.
fails to mention the one great reason
why he ought not to be nominated
and why he cannot be re-elected if
nominated. That one reason far out
weighs all the six which Mr. Walker
names. No other reason need be cited.
That is the fact that Woodrow Wil
son is chiefly responsible for the very
worst tariff law ever enacted; a tariff
law that brought in its train a paraly
sis of industry, of wage earning, wage
paying and wage spending; that in
the first ten months of its operation,
prior to the outbreak of the European
war, had produced the largest unim-
ployment, the worst condition of
business in general, the greatest num
ber of commercial failures ever known
in the country's history. This should
be the seventh reason, and Mr. Walk
er should have named it first; like
the man who had thirteen reasons
why he refused to lend ten dollars,
and mentioned the thirteenth reason
first of all, namely, that he didn’t
have ten dollars.
Our free trade friends as they read
the Congressional admonitions from
their beloved President for more tax
es on tobacco, gasoline, bank checks
and notes they have to make to bor
row money after free trade breaks
them, wear the smile that won’t stay
on.
------ o-----
Of the many ingenious falshoods
fathered by free trade the longest-
whiskered one is the lie that under a
protective tariff our manufactured
products are sold abroad cheaper than
to the home folks. Only 3 per cent of
our manufactured products are ex
ported, remember.
A Southern free trade friend recent
ly was forced to borrow $3,000 from
a bank to tide over the present evan
escent wave of free trade "prosperity”
When a protective tariff bank charit
ably consented to lend him the need
ed sum he was horrorstricken to learn
that his note was no good without
$14.50 worth of war tax free trade
stamps attached thereto, in other
words free trade busts a man and
then makes him pay a war tax for
being busted.
Even were it true (as it is not) that
ftee trade has brought the nation a
great wave of prosperity, that would
be all the more reason to swat the
party of free trade ere it can undo the
good it may have unconsciously done.
Acting on the principle of the negro
evangelist who converted all his con
gregation and then prayed the Lord
to kill them before they could back
slide, free trade should be scorched
ere it has time to kick over its own
milk-pail.

As a matter of fact, the duty on all
meats and meat products has been re-
moved. The duty has also ,been re-
moved on live stock, The result is
that the packers who have establish-
ed packinghouses in South America
are enabled to and they have been
sending in dressed meat from Argen
tina, Uruguay and Brazil. Dressed
meat from South America has been
sold here in Kansas City in competi
tion with the home product. By the
removal of the tariff the packers, are
enabled to beat down the prices for
beef by the free importation of the
cheap meats of South America. This
is no fairy tale, nor is it a political
campaign bugaboo. It is plain, un
vanished facts, and any stockman will
so find it if he will investigate. Free-
trade has not reduced the high cost of
meats, nor has it helped the meat
producers.
