Register complaints Pat Sullivan of Wyoming Hon. Patrick Sullivan of Casper has lately visited Washington and the National Republican took adyantage of his presence at the national} capital, to print the following with reference to him: “Pat Sullivan, Republican natonal, commit-| feeman of Wyoming, who is a Washington vis- Itor, arrived in New York City from Ireland} fn the late ’80s. He came because he desired | to become an American—a citizen in the land of opportunity for those who would make the most of opportunity. He didn’t mind hard work, In New York City he got u job as a worker on the docks. He heard of the great West. He determined it was better to get away from the big city, “go West and grow up with the country After working three months on the docks he took his small savings to the rail road ticket agent. Reserving a few dollars for} food, he told the ticket agent how much he had left for railroad fare. The agent told him tha lis money would take him as far as Rawlins, | Wyo. Sullivan didn’t know anything about Rawlins or the far West except what he had seud, for he had never been outside of New York City, but he determined that Rawlins should be bis destination. He made the trip in day couches, not having enough money to pay for a Pullman berth. trackers at stations where brief made. in his pocket. he had reached the great western stops But it mattered not to him that state with practically no money, for he possessed a willing-| ylous the bunk being handed out by Democratic Willingness to ness to work. He got a job. work represented his great asset. him success. “He ha a sheep ncher and business man. time he made a count his flock numbered 24,000. He has a great appreciation of America. He took advantage of the opportunities offered here. He is grateful for the chance America gave him. He is devoted to his fine family, his state and his adopted country. And he is devoted, too, to the Republican party, for it was his early observation that the West was exper- iencing its growth and development while the federal government was being conducted under Republican administration. The protective tariff policy, he observed, was a great factor in promoting national prosperi The present Republican protective act—the Fordney- McCumber law—has been a life saver to the West, he says, during the past two years. Since this law became operative the metal mining in- dustry and sugar beet industry of the West have been revived and the rancher interested in the sheep and wool business has greatly improved his economic situation. “The protective tariff means much West. It must be continued. The wa tinue it is to make certain of the elec strong Republican congress next year. not enough to elect a Republican pre There aiso must be a Republican congres: served Mr. van. “It is under the Repub- licar tariff that this country has made its gains. It brought to the to con- on of a It is The Dene tariff for revenue only laws have prov destructive. We want no Demo- eratic congress.” The Retailer and Protection The ret siness in this country has been based upon ciple of buying in the low- est market aud 1g in the highest. This has led the retailers to desire to import those goods which can be imported at a lower cost than they can be bonght in this country. Ac ingly the average retaileer would desire the goods he sells permitted to enter this country free of duty. He assumes he would be abie to sell them at prices he has been ac- customed to and accordingly make an extra profit. During the past ten years, however, condi- tions in the retailing business have changed very radical] Up to the beginning of the war, the productive capa y of this country was not great enough to meet the entire home demand. It was necessary to import a certain quantity of goods if the customers were to be supplied with everything they wanted. This condition more than anything else led to the creating by large retailers of foreign buying agencies. Tt created a market for those concerns in the im porting business. The war resulted in a dem » much great- er and so much more urgent that-our manu facturers had ever before faced, that productive capacity was increased to an er ous extent Today, more mon than ever before has been the case has been invested in. mannfacturing plants. The total productive capac of all these plants is estimated to be more t great enough to supply all our local needs, ; tinues to persist in favoring foreign products, he will have to pay for it by making less money they bring into the country. Hull will probably repeat his story about \the new tariff causing an increase of four bil- En route he bought cheese and| number of consumers has been greatly increased were He landed in Rawlins with only $4.60/in prices of articles on the tariff free list have climbed to the top of the ladder as] The last | Republican , employer, is These plants are ready to produce. They are ready to give employment to thousands of people, they are ready to pay interest on all the money invested. They are ready to add much to our national wealth. To do all this, however, the goods must be sold to the consu- mers and in most cases these goods have to be sold through the retailers. Suppose the retailers continue to import goods. Sup) they are able to secure a re- duction in the tariff and are able for that rea- son to import goods at a lower cost than is at present the case. If this is done, what is going to happen? The home markets will be reduced by the amount of the imports. That means either operating the plants at less than capacity which greatly increases the cost of production, or it means the development of new markets which | 0 means an additional cost on manufacture. In either case the retailer has to pay his share} of the cost. If the plants operate on reduced | production basis, fewer people are being paid Wages, the money invested in the plant earns less money and people have less to spend, which in turn means a lower sales volume for the re- tailers. Thus the importing of goods even If our manufacturers are forced to devote a great deal of time and attention to developing markets in foreign countries because they are} not securing the full support of the retailers, it will probably mean that they will be less able| to help the retailer sell the goods in his store. This will mean a higher selling cost for the re- tailer and probably a higher selling price to the consumer, with a resultant falling off in sales, for the amount of money that people will spend is limited by the amount they are able to earn, or to get as return on money invested and money sav So any way we look at it, if the retailer con- in his business than he would if he put every) possible effort back of developing a greater de- mand for American made goods. The pros- perity of this nation depends now it has never | depended before upon more intensified selling at home of the goods produced at home.

Returning from the association meeting, they encountered a blind- ing snowstorm. when they were about 12 miles out of Greybull. Progress was only made in low gear by one member of the part walking ahead to keep track of the roadway. Frequent stops were made to make observation of the surroundings, and several in the party suffered terribly from the cold.

Of course, they would do no hafm were it not that we have among us a rather large percentage of simpletons who actually believe that a college professor, who never was an employee in the common aceept- ance of t. term and who never has been an authority concerning the rela- tions of capital and labor, and that what he says about such things is final and conclusive. If these militants for purity would become s militant for a law to put bunk out of busi-| ness as they are to denature the problem novel, many who are laughing at them today would shout for them tomorrow.
