What man can be opposed to this way
of handling our tariff except the man

facts that all dishonesty, if there be
any dishonesty, gets into our tariff. If

In to .short a tlme.a say nothing of i reason for this national evil Is greed.

make more money than any other busi

our tariff, and so those men and women
who have spent years getting to the
bottom of child laoor think that money
lust Is the cause of this national crime.
I call It. a national crime because It Is
so general. We must end it by a na
tional law. .
These who grow rich from, the blood
of these children say that the. nation
has no right to forbid this national sin. I
They say that we must leave It to the!
States. They say the same thing that
has bceo said every time the nation has'
tried td stop any great evil that was ,
putting unrighteous money in the pock
ets of those who ' flourished on that !
evil. In f very such case It was said
that the constitution was in the way j
that such laws violated "state's rights" !
and were "dangerous tendencies toward;
centralization." You will find the 'same
old arguments, word for word, made,
each time the nation proposed to end
these past wrongs that are now made
when the nation proposes to end this
present, wrong. In every such case
these legal stranglers of reform tried
to show that the constitution prevents
the people from stopping practices that
are ruining the people.
mttees are now forced td do )n making
a tariff law. It Is not fair to. these
committees to make them do such
work. In so brief a period. Other na
tions have j-ecn this plain truth and
therefore made the common-sense plan
of flndtns out the facts j upon which
their legislatures can act with knowl
edge and-w'sdnm. So Germany and
Japan. whos tariffs are the most care
ful of all tariffs, had a hody of tariff
experts find out the facts and then
made their tariffs fit those facts. .
Tariff Methods of Our Rivals
These German and Japanese experts
knew more about the tariffs of their
own and other countries, more about
every industry of their own and other
countries, than any other men In the
Japanese and German nations. They
were the fittest men to do the work
that Germany and Japan could find.
Then, armed with this special knowl
edge, they looked Into everything that
had anything to do with German and
Japanese industries and, with the tradu
those Industries carried on. 4. All this
took not only hard work but much
nme. a riociy or tmrty-two German
experts worked for six years consult
ing 2,000 trntte experts and Investigat
ing evtry Industry In the empire, not
only by Itself, but In relation to other
German Industries and those of other
nations. Then the work of these experts
was laid be'ore the Reichstag, and
with all these facts the Reichstag made
the present German tariff. x
