TARIFF REDUCES ' FARfdMARKETS

With Factories Closed Consumers; Cannot Purchase. CUBA ;WAS A BIG BUYER Cannot Export Product Unlet Other Countries Can Sell Us. By H. E. MILES, Chairman of the Fair Tariff League. In a small town In an agricultural ectlon of the United States, not far fnm tlt; Canadian border, there Is a Clove factory. This concern ha been i for yeara Celling a large part of Its product annually In Canada. Congress In the Emergency Turlff Act placed on goods Imported from Canada a tariff so high that It made It unprofitable for, the Canadians longer to eil their goods in the American market. The small, town clove factory, among ninny cithers, lost Its Canadian mar ket and had to shut down. It Is nn economic law that a nation buys where It sells. It must do this J in order to have money to pay Its bills In the country where the bill aro contracted. Canada being unable to sell her poods Ir this country was forced to Fell her "snrplus elsewhere. Naturally then, she supplied her needa In othei markets. - Hut this particular glov factory Is Important because of lt effect on the prosperity of the nearby farmers. The plight of this factory la an ex ample of how the prosperity of ever interest In this co.mtry Is depe.den rpon 'the-prosperity of practically :y other Interest. This glove factor; I the mainstay of the town. Prac t'cally all . the wage earners work there. When their means of livelihood vms ait off their ability to purchas wa cone. . The smaller farmers who had ' ready market at their very doors fo' their butter and. eggs nnd other .fa nr.. products found It necessary 'to -nee I other and less satisfactory marketout of town. Hut when they pot ou Into the world market they found tha' something, was happening. Everything they tried to sell was sold pr a greatly reduced price, but every tiling that they attempted to buy the; f vital was reduced nly slightly Ir. price or not reduced at all. The Farmer Whipsawed Many complicated factors enter Inl n situation. of this kind, but one of the Most Important factors Is the tarltf. I b.r.e shown In a previous article th: In at least two commodities, those of rfiigar and wool, the taritT protection iorded by the Increased rates on these two romrmditles does not read the furiner, but stops with and en riches the manufacturer. There Is n chemical plant In the state of New Jersey which makes a fer tllir.er product fr the Cuban market. Cuba's sugar Industry has been practbnlly ruined by a CO per cent Increase In the tariff on raw sugar. Cuba Is un ible to buy the product of thU chemIcal factory. One thousand men are out of work. The families of tbo one thousand men would use ut least a thousand dozen of eggs a week and not less than n thousand pound.- of butter and certainly not less than three thousand pounds of meat, all products of the American farmer. Hut In the case of Cuba there fs even a more direct loss of market to the farmer. A glance at the trad reports shows that Cuba Is one of the American farmer's mr-st Important customers. In HO Cuba purchased of us more than; .'o per cent of all our exports of hogs, bin! compounds, canned sausage, rice, potatoes, beans and onions. She ranked second among the nations la the purchase of our cattle, horses, mule?, pickled pork, sausage other than canned, poultry, cheese, sweetened condoned milk, cocoa and prepared chocolato and corn. She ranked third In the purchase of hams and shoulders, mlatüaneoui canned meat products, hay Hi l tlour. Cuba bought from ut during JIM! and UX) over $S000.000 worth of truck gardening and farm products, over . worth of live stock. r $i:,.HV000 worth of dairy prod-l ove iwt over Stt000 0 worth of meat products, over $1.000.000 worth of ot!in cloth and over $30.C".CnX) worth of manufactures of cotton. Farmer Nda Cuban Market It Is pretty evident, theu, thut the American farmer needs his Ouhan mark't. It 1 further quite clear that If thN enonnous quantity of surplus agri cultural giKuls were dumped on the( hiUTie market his prices would slump i still more. Now, where does Cuba get the money' with which to purchase our good?; l i e answer Is "sugar." iba prduces! 4(mhimk) tons of sugar annually. This enormous crp Is the mainstay of t.an prosperity.

We sold Cuba ?öl 5.000,000 worth of goods In 10'JO. and a large part of these sales were manufactured product s. As In the case of the little town that was deiendent upon the glove factory for Its existence and could not buy Its supplies from the surrounding farmers when the factory shut down, so In general. If American manufacturers are seriously Injured by losing such an Imwtant market an Cuba' It Is going to curtail the wares -paid to labor and In turn will curtail the fanners' domestic market. - - , VALLEY FORGE ONE OF NATION'S MOST VENERATED SPOTS Hills and Valleys Where Washington Camped in 1777 Have Been Made Beautiful by a Grateful Nation Visited by Thousands Thousands of visitors to Boston never leave that city until they have visited Concord and Lexington, 20 miles away, to gaze upon the spot Where the embattled farmer stood And ftred th shot heard 'round the world. How many visitors to Philadelphia remember that at Valley Forge, a few minutes' ride from our city hall, la a locality fully as' significant in its historic aesocia-l tions as Lexington? Here, In the lonely woods of Valley Forge, is the spot forever hallowed where Washington knelt upon the snow and prayed in the extremity of desrair that the cause of liberty should yet be successful, says the Philadelphia Record. Thousands of visitors do, indeed, visit Valley Forge, but many thousands more would do so if they realized the pleasure which attends such a trip, altogether apart from the rich reward to be gained by seeing with their own e'es the proun(l where handful ff Keu birlK nirn, pauptrr iu everything save their store of indom ltable courage, fought cold and hungerenemies more relentless than hostile troops through that terrible winter of 1777. For now the beautiful woodlands that line the Schuylkill, the slopes that enclose the Chester Valley, are ideal spots for a day's Jaunt. That anyone within Philadelphia should not make a pilgrimage to Valley Forge, less than an hour's ride from the city, seems unthinkable. Valley Forge Is extremely accessible. Two railroad lines, a traction car line and automobile passenger omnibuses running from the city to all the points of Interest in the vicinity, make It an extremely easy matter for any tourist to reach Valley Forge and

Washington's headquarters, a stone farmhouse which belonged to Isaac Potts, a Quaker, stands near the rail-1 road station, and at the entrance to' the park. It was Isaac Potts who is said to have seen Washington at prayer In the icebound woods, at a time when hope seemed almost gone. The rooms are today as thoy were in Washington's time. The log kitchen at the rear was built while Washington occupied the house. From it descends an entrance Into what was a tunnel to the banks of the Schuylkill river. Priceless Revolutionary relics are gathered in tho building. The tent which Washington used on the field is still preserved. At this entrance to the park stands the beautiful memorial arch of stone built by the nation and completed last year. It is known as the Washington Memorial arch, and another, to be called the Steuben Memorial arch.
