Ne w By C, .ýork: ' dustrial Liberty the Hope ofthte World," in wbich he malces a plea for f ree trade and discourages high Lprotective tariff. Among the subi ccts he discusses are over-production, the law of supply 'and demand, the. func- tion of ýmoney, ani the combination of capital. That over-production 'of commodi- ties of al kinds, is respon'sible for the present. deplorable conditions is a fact hbighly exaggerated according to Mr. Merritt. "The trouble," the author writes,"? is an, under-production of a great many tomnmoditiès." It is quite wrong for usto sayî at.thrçs over-production of aMfùiiý v ucts when there a«ç llont of peo- pie starving. The' reai trouble is "almost a comp!ete, breakdown of our systemn of distribution and consump-, tion brought. about, by unwarranted and* unnecessary interference with economic laws." The author, believes that our tariff policy is solely responsiblè for the farmer's great losses in capital in- vestment. Foreign nations now sec ciearly that tbeir only hope is in the, production of their own"food stuiffs.", [He explains thatzby our high protec- tive tariff weè have raised the price Of nearly everything which the fa,'- mer consumfes, "'increasing thereby net only bis cost of living, but bis, cost of production." Mr. Merritt compares the country pronioting a high protective tariff to the tailor in a smali primitive community who says te~ himseif: "Why shouid I pay out good moncy for shoes made by myv * neighbor? I wili make the shoes my.- self and thus save money." He neot only makes bis own sboes but builds bis own bouse, and raises bis own food.., The others are therefore obiiged to do the sarne because he refuses to exchange bis goods for. their. products. But, as. each man is equýipped for and skîlled to do a'cer- tain. trade,' so it is. with nations. ýEacb country shouid be aliowed to "Ipro,- duce »hose articles which it is best adapted te produce, and then sell its surplus te other countries in ex- change for articles which tbey are best 'adapted te produce." The pamphlet is well wortb reading and is recommended particularly te those interested ini the American wheat nroblem.
