INTERVIEW WITH THE CADILLAC Do You Want to Send Our Automobllo Business to Europe? Detroit, Mich.—"The American Pro ! tective tariff systerft is of vital im portance to every American factory, ; workshop and industrial plant. Be | cause this is a fact the writer has | given the question of protection much ! study for the past few years. During ■ that time there has been no effort to lower the tariff rates or any really ' concerted effort to change them that has not resulted in a serious indus ] trial depression, with the further re | suit that thousands of American work- J men have been layed off and factories j closed, or worked on short time, and j a material reduction in the number of j men employed. As a nation we are paying the highest wages paid to me chanics and operatives anywhere in [ the world. Our prosperity is largely I due to our tariff, which protects us against the cheap labor and cheap material of other nations. "To illustrate: Take our business ! in the manufacture of automobiles. If we were assured that free trade is to prevail in this country we cou'd close out our business here and trans | fer it to Belgium, Hungary, China, Ja -1 pan, or some other country where | wages are at the present time from 10 to 50 per cent, of what they are I here, and where the material used is j also much cheaper than in this coun try. Wo could then, after payiug I freight, put these same automobiles J down in New York for perhaps 50 to j t!0 per cent., of the cost to make them in this country, and the competitor in [ the United States who continued to t manufacture a car to compete with lus in price and quality would have ■ but one course left open to him, and | that would be to close his place and .go out of business. What we could do i with automobiles could be done with the manufacture of boots, shoes sew | ing machines, guns, machine tools, lo | oomotives and nearly everything we [ manufacture in the United States. "It is so forceful and convincing to any thoughtful person when he 'rea j sons it out that if we buy an auto ! mobile, for instance, in Belgium, then | we have the automobile and they have the money; and when the automobile is worn out we have no auto, and Bel | gium still has the money; and if we buy an automobile that is made iti this country, then we have the auto the same as before and we also /liav* the money; and when the auto ill | worn out the money is here to buy j another one. The enormous advant ! age to the American workman and j business man is obvious. "And the illustration applies with | equal force to almost every article I that can be manufactured in the j United States. j "Our long experience and our best judgment tells us that if we elect a | Free Trade or Tariff for Revenue \ Congress and Administration, it will be followed by a serious depression 1 in all kinds of business, except the importers' business; that thousands 1 of workmen will be without work; that many factories will close and others will goon short hours.
