accomplished by the demoralizing

scourge should let up, there is not
sufficient time remaining before the

goes without saying that with a

demoralization will not effect us

We import, say, a
year of the protected goods, and pay
an average if 47.10 per cent, on
them. Alongside in merchant's
store are the competing American
goods. They are 47.10 per cent,
higher than they would be sold out
side the United States. And
since they are five times the value
of the foreign goods, in dollars, we
must pay tax to the protected
manufacturer where we pay to
the Government. Any who
buys Irish linen in Cork, or a shawl
in Paris, will when she brings

that American goods are cheaper

to be sold in foreign markets, and
to compete they must be under-
