New evidence is eoiunig to baud ev ery day showing the great dilierenee ill i»rices of our maiiuraetnred goods when sold for export aud when sold tor home consumption. Nearly every num ber of the Iron Age contains informa tion of this kind. Some time ago it eontained letters from inanufaeturers complaining that goods exported to Hawaii or I’orto Ilioo were being re imported and sold here at prices lower than thosr* charged here for the same }it)()Js by our maiiuracturers. The writ ers blaiufd other manufactiu’ers for giving export prices to these countries which now tiy the American Hag and which tlierefore should pay full pro tection prices for our goods. On Nov. 12 tiie Iron Age quoted American steel bars in England at Sii shillings, or less than per^^ni, and (n America at $1.42V2. or per ton. Thus the independent manufac turer t)f tin plate in America who has to buy liis bars of the ste»*l trust must pay more than r>u i>er cent more for his eliief raw material than is paid by iiis foreign competitor. This is ‘ proit'c-lion to home industries’’ with a veng<*ance. The same number of tiie Iron Age tells us tiiat American sit'd beauis, Iihiles. angles, t-hanncLs aiul rivi*t steel are l>eing sold in Canada at from to per ton less than tlu‘ prices eharg»*(l iiere. The Iron Age of Dec. IT enymeratt's a great iiuuibt'r of sirtic-U's of Ameri can malie which are sold largt>ly in S(»uth Africa. Nearly all ;ire sold there at prku's f:ir l)elow those charg ed here. Thus it appears that shovels, which our shovel trust sells here at '.10 cents each, are sold there at COV-j cents.

With our big trusts soiling all kinds of steel ami tools to foreigners at one- half or one-tliird tlie prices charged Americans is it any wonder that our small manufacturers cannot compete with the foreign manufacturers? It is oidy a question of time, and not a long tinu* eitlu'r. when our small manufac turers. b(pieezed by our great and greedy trusts, will be driven entirely out of foreign markets, even if they are not driven entirely out of business. When will the American people put a stop to this infernal business by abolishing ail duties on trust products? P.YUON W. HOLT. FORAKER TO THE RESCUE. J. A. MILLEB Builders’ Hardware and Building Materials Dressed Lumber Plastering Hair Make!* the Roosevelt Bid For TroNt Contribution to Caiupaif^n Fund. The bill introduced into congress by Senator Foraker to modify the inter state commerce law so that it will i>er- mit comlunations in restraint of trade when such combinations are reasonable must have been put forward for a liur- pose. As the author of tiie l)iil is one of the h*ading campaign managers for I'resident Uoosevelt it is not ditticult to believe that, if not inspir<*d from the Wliite House, it was a.f.^jast as- senteu to. The supreme court has now before it the celeorated railroau merger aud beef combine cases. It may or may not reaihrm two former tlecisions, in which the majority of the court de clared that "any agreement or arrange ment or understanding wliich lias the direct and natural effect of placing re straint upon competitive action is, in contemplation of tlie law, a criminal offense, punishable by indictment or preventabl(‘ by injunction.” The ex traordinary news has l)(*en s(*nt out by some of the best informed corr(*spond- ents at Washington that mcnibers of tlie supreme court are s(*eking to modi fy their fornii'r decisions and decide tliat if the restraint of trade is reason able it is not contrary to the law and pul)lic i»i)licy. If the court adheres to fts f«)riiu*r sweepinj^ . and Q. raih'oad. should visit I*resident lioosevelt and declare t4at. altliougii he had iieen formerly opjtosed to his renomination, he now favored him and is alh'ged to have assured liim tli.it the railroad combine is not :*.gainst him on account of his attitude in prosc'cnt- ing the Northern Securitii's merg(*r.

Cost of Livinf? Still Goins Ip. It may be well to call th(* attention of hnnilreds of tlumsajuls of skh'Iwork ers. cotton mill operatives, mlnt'rs :ind oth(*rs, w!io have humbly accepted re- ductio’is in tlieir w;;gi s running from 10 to 4v) per cent, or wl'.o are now idle because many mills are closeil. to the fact that while wages are going down the cost of living is going up. Dun's index number was •'<100.142 on Jan. 1, 1904 .conipareil v>it!i ^9S.223 a month ago, and is the highest since last March. It is within about 2 per cent of the highest known in recent yc'ars, which was J?102.2S9 on May 1. 1902. It is now about 39 per cent aL'ove the lowest point, whicli was on July 1, 1897. This means that the trusts have not yet loosened their grip and that they are counting on lower w.nges to de crease their cost of production and in crease their monopoly prolits. Is it possible that they have bunkoed their emiiloyees into accepting lower wages when there Avas no actual necessity for it? Are wages now’ 40 per cent higher than six or seven years ago? Are they 10 per cent higher? If not is there now' or has there been nt any time prosperity for tlie wage earners? And now, when wages are reduced an av erage of 15 or 20 per cent, while the cost of living goes up 7 per cent, shall we call this prosperity? Ask your Republican congressman what is the cause of this kind of prosperity and what he is going to do to break the tight .grip of the protected trtists and give the common people a chance to live again.
