In a small town in an agricultural section of the United States, not far from the Canadian border, there is a glove factory. This concern has been for years selling a large part of Its product annually in Canada. Congress in the Emergency Tariff Act placed on goods Imported from Canada a tariff so high that it made It unprofitable for the Canadians, longer to sell their goods in the American market The small town glove factory, among many others, lost Its Canadian market and had to shut down. It is an economic law that a nation buys where it sells. It must do this In order to have money to pay Its bills in the country where the bills are contracted.

Canada being unable to sell her goods in this country was forced to sell her surplus elsewhere. Naturally, then, she supplied her needs in other markets. But this particular glove factory Is important because of its effect on the prosperity of the nearby farmers. The plight of this factory is an example of how the prosperity of every Interest In this eo.mtry Is dependent upon the prosperity of practically every other Interest This glove factory Is the mainstay of the town. Practically all the wage earners work there.

When their means of livelihood was cut off their ability to purchase was gone. The smaller farmers who had a ready rdarket at their very doors for their butter and eggs and other farm products found It necessary to seek other and less satisfactory markets out of town. But when they got out into the world market they found that something was happening. Everything they tried to sell was sold at a greatly reduced price, but everything that they attempted to buy they found was reduced -nly slightly In price or not reduced at all. The Farmer Whipsawed Many complicated factors enter Into a situation of this kind, but ne of the most Important factors Is the tariff.
