C. S. DAUBERMAN, EDITOR
! 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.
