Congressman Steenerson is well known in .this district and there is no question but that he will be greeted by a large crowd. He will give an address at Blackduck on Wednesday evening. Don’t forget that Christmas days are again drawing near. Don’t for- get that merchants in this city have the goods that you want to buy for those Christmas days. Don’t forget that every dollar you spend with a local merchants remains in local ecir- culation and enriches the community just that much. Don’t forget that every dollar you spend outside of this city remains outside and decreases the money in local circulation just that much. Don’t forget than an ad- vertisement of a local merchant in this paper is an indication that the me;lchnnt is prepared to ‘“‘make good” or he would not resort to publicity in soliciting your trade. Don’t forget the good advertiser is generally a “live wire,” and that live wires are better than dead ones. THE TARIFF LAW. The Underwood tariff law has been the most dismal failure of any rev- enue legislation in the history of the country, writes a Washington cor- respondent. The Democrats boasted during the campaign, “we will reduce the cost of living,” “we will take the taxes off the people.”. The Wilson adminis- tration jammed the Underwood tariff law through congress and in one year more than three million men were out of work, the cost of living was higher than ever before, and it has since steadily increased. The next day after the Underwood tariff law was passed Mr. Underwood said it would do four things: Reduce the cost of llying, would not disturb the business of the country, would in- crease our forsign {rade, and would ;collegt revenue sufficient to run the £government. It has done none these things, so glibly promised. The Underwood tariff too¥ from the dutiable list and put on the free list cattle, sheep, wool, beef, mut- ton, corn, eggs, milk and cream. It ut wheat and potatoes on the free fist conditionally. It reduced by ‘about 60 per cent the tariff rates on horses, poultry, oats, hay, cheese and ! butter. These reductions were fol- lowed by a great increase in impor- _ tations into the United States of for- | eign farm products. The increase for the fiscal year of 1914, nine months ‘of which was under the Underwood | law, over the year 1912, was $140,- 000,000. the farmers’ markets all over the country. Wheat in American mar- kets declined about fifteen cents per bushel; corn declined about 10 cents per bushel; cattle and sheep de- clined in price. The Democratic theory was that reduced tariff duties on farm products would bring for- eign farm products into our markets to force down prices to the consum- ers. Foreign products did come and the price to farmer was forced down. But the prices of food products to the consumer were not reduced.. The only beneficiaries of the reduction were the foreigners who shipped the products, and the importers and mar- ket manipulators who received them. They did not sell more cheaply to the consumer but their margin of profit was greater. While prices of live stock to the farmer declined, the price of meats to the consumer stead- i{ly advanced. The high cost of liv- 0 board, costing $300,000 '***iifiii*i**ii*i WTANOIL XTIV IPCINAE THI ing continued and has increased ever since. The law did disturb business but the president declared it was only a “psychological condition. The Underwood law did not pro- duce revenue enough to pay the ex- penses of the government, and a Democratic congress was compelled to pass the Stamp Tax act, in time of peace, as a makeshift supplement to the law. _ Our foreign trade has increased but the increase has been in muni- tions and supplies for the warring European nations. What will hap- pen when peace is declared in Europe and the war orders cease? The Democrats, facing now the sit- uation which every one knows, will exist at the close of the European war, have attempted to quiet the fears of the farmers and the busi- ness world by their so-called tariff annually. The question is not what a tariff board may recommend but whether a congress elected next November be- . lieves in protecting American indus- tries, or making a tariff for revenue|at Staples, Oct. 21; at Alexandria, only.
