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. This Iron Age jilso contains in

NOTICE.
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?

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^ <U-cisic»us a.uaiiist
all i*(‘straints of competition m‘arly all
railroad conibinaiions will l»e over
thrown. The Foraker bill would pre
vent this and, in fact, nuilify the anti
trust law.
It is very singular that at this tiiiu*
one of the principal attorii(*ys of the
mt*rg('i’, .1. W. Blythe of the C., 1>. 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.
Fn.m anotlier sourct* it is slated that
Morgan and liOclvefell<*r have l>otii de-
clareil thi*y are not opposed to tlie re-
noniinalion of I’residt'iit lioosevelt and
will make tlu*ir usual liberal contribu
tions to the Iit*publican campaign fiuid.
rolitics makes strange Iw'dfellows,
and it is quite possible that the exi-
ger.cies of the coming campaign have
n'.;;di* the iiolitical manag«*rs of Presi-
dt*nt Roosev('lt, if not the pn*sident
liinist'lf. agree, if the suitn*ine court
di*ci(U*s jigainst the corporations, to aid
th(‘ j)assage of the bill Senator Foraker
has introduced <lirectly congr(*ss me(‘ts
after tla' election. Tlu* parts of th.e po
litical |)uzzle all seem to lit together to
form that coiu'lusioii. and the* sUj)po.-(*d
weak pl.ice in the Koos(*velt political
armor that tlu* cori»orations will not
put U]» tlu* nion<*y to <*l(*ct him—is cer
tainly entnigh inducement f(U’ the Ke-
f>iiblican i>olitic;il managers to fall into
such an arrang(‘nu*nt.
Th(* lJt*pul>lican political workers
liav(* been so us»*d to being liberally
])aiil for their servicc's that a campaign
without ample funds would be a tiasco.

From these figures we see that the
American File association, which has
not revised its price list to American
buyers since Nov. 1, 1899, is charging
us for most kinds of its small files
more than twice as much as it charges
Englishmen for these same files, and
for half round files Ave must pay three
times the price charged Eu.gllshmen.
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.
