"Democratic Prosperity Is

CRITICISM BY FORDNBY

.WASIIlNaTOfr, D. O, Dec Hr-Deetsr.
tttt that "Demdcralln prosrwrltr Is baaed
on a continuation of (h war," BertAtor I'n
irose, of Pennsylvania, today predict that
restoration of peace In Europe wouM mean
th itramptns; of this country with forelrn.
mad iroods. l declared that Inn Amerl
can consumption or $30,000,000,000 an
nualljr would make tbln market worth mo're
than all tin other markets of the world put
totrelher.
Representative Joseph W. 1'ordney, of
Michigan, wtto will be the next chairman
of the Ways and Mean Committee If the
Jtepubiicnni organize It, and llepresenta
tit J, Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia,
another strong protectlonlet member, both
tald that ftoods Imported free of duty would
closo many of the Industries that have
been able to operate during the war.
Senator Tenroee said!
"Industrial preparedness In Juat as vital
as Military and naval preparedness. The
present revenue law does not meet the
Issue In any way. It Imposes onerous bur
don of direct taxes and yet It Is predicted
that there will be n deficit of 1100,000,000
InMlle revenues for the next fiscal year.
Wei are living under the Underwood so
called tariff law, which contains the lowest
tariff rates of duty on Imports of any
tariff law within 100 )ears of our history.
'In the face of a grent deficit nnd tinder
ths burdens of direct taxes, we delib
erately have abandoned the revenue which
might be got from the customs houses to
the extent, cen In this time of war, of
:00.00t,000 or 1100,000,000. While nil the
foreign nations are resorting to IiIkIi pro
tective tariffs, embargos nnd subsidies, we
stand naked nnd unprotected.
"The groups cu belligerent nations at the
close of the war is III bo prevented frotf
trading freely with each other by rrnson
of hostile tariff barriers, nnd their cheap
products will be dumped Into the American
market, which with Its consuming power of
more than 120,000,000,000 annunlly Is
worth air the other markets In the world
put l&aether,
"These momentous Issues were Inst sight
of by the American people In the last cam
paign. The seriousness of the crisis Is Illus
trated In the stock market
"Not the slightest remedy exists to meet
approaching -conditions. The tariff com
mission provision In the revenue law In In
effective, It was simply meant to catch
Votes. The anti-dumping provision Is even
more absurd and Intended for the same
purpose. As peace approaches, or even as
the talk of pence Increases, wo will with
Incredible rapidity approach a condition of
Industrial, financial nnd business depres
sion and adversity. If the llepubllcan party
had been successful In the last election the
difficulty would have boen had enough, but
would not have been Insurmountable, nnd
wa might have entertained the hopa of re
covery, "I can sea no assurnnco of safety under
the policy to which the present Democratic
Administration Is committed.
'Terhaps the war will last a year or so
longer and will give an opportunity for
the American people to restore the lie
publican party at least In Congress Demo
cratic prosperity Is only based on a continu
ation of tho war."
Representative Mooro thus expressed his
views:
"The percentage of Imports now crowding
Into tho United States from foreign coun
tries whteh pay duty Is so small ",,
preponderance of foreign goods nam ttea
free Is so great that the fieroe competition
against Amerlcan-made goods is now rnosl
alarming The people have not observed ma
Insidious Influence of the foreign commer
cial Influx, becauee of the export trade,
which has satisfied the farmer and the cot
ton grower. The consumers In ths large
cities have been paying for this uncertain
prosperity with the highest cost of living
ever known. If the war In Kurope closes
suddenly It will be absolutely Imperative
that the tariff barriers In the United ntates
be raised high enough- to shield both the
American producer and consumer. This
will mean the repeal or the revision Up
ward of the Underwood tariff law. An Indl.
cation of the way the wind Is blowing to
ward manufactured products of the United
States Is revealed In the depressing ef
fect of Kuropean war news upon a atock
market which has been depending almost
entirely upon this dubious war prosperity."
Jtepresenlatlva Fordney said I
"Our Imports for the last fiscal year
were the greatest In our history. Seventy
per cent of them were on the free list.
This, too, without any Imports to speak
of from the Central Towers If peace
comes this country will bo flooded with
Imports, because wa have the cash, and
they will all need It badly. Never until
this year had our Imports ever exceeded
1111,000,000 In any one month. They have
not gone below that any month this year
snd have run as high as $116,000,000 Tho
antl-dutnping legislation aracted In the last
revenue bill la a farce, You have to prove
a conspiracy between tho Importer and the
purchaser before you can do a thing with
It."
