The following text is a digital copy of one of the volumes in our library--the New Nation News Racialist Reading Room [NNNRRR]. The content may only be used for personal, educational or non-commercial purposes.
In the preface to the first edition (in pamphlet form) of "The Aryans and Mongrelized America: The Remedy by Junius Aryan," the author gave some suggestions as to the motive underlying the publication of that work.
An object may be looked at from several points of view, each of which appears different, but none may be correct; however, from some other and different viewpoint, it is shown in its proper and true light. A racial duty devolves upon the man who sees this, the only correct view, whether by accident or otherwise, to report it to his fellows.
Many men go through life absorbed only in the struggle for existence, and often with an idea of self-aggrandizement only. Because of this narrow vision, they pass off the earth like mere animals, without once seeing the unnatural. If they had given more thought to nature and right thinking, and had cast aside sentimentality, they would have been in a position to have used their intellect and reason in aiding the keeping of life in their generation—NATURAL; that is to maintain a proper position in nature; which is purity in all animal and vegetable conditions.
They would have seen that thorough and pure racial breeding in man is as essential to nature's laws as in the mute animals, and in the vegetable kingdom, and would thus have aided in handing down to their posterity. Aryanism, in Aryan countries in its natural state; they would have seen to it that it was not mongrelized in any manner or form.
The author, believing that he sees from the proper viewpoint the true situation of his (Aryan) race, and with the racial (natural) feeling for the purity of his race, is willing to give his aid without pecuniary reward, so as to place his race in its proper sphere, in its purity, as a race of mankind in nature.
In the preface above referred to he says:
The minds of Aryan men of right reason in this era, through their study of Astronomy, Geology, Archaeology, Paleontology, Ethnology, Ethnography, History, Tradition, Chronology, Dietetics and Medical Science, and from a consideration of natural filial respect, reverence, love and honor of their Aryan ancestors, the men who contained the "First Principal," the "Original" from which they descended and could only descend, since like produces like and produces like only, have been freed from the unnatural, irrational and gloomy civilization of the Semitics: a race different from the Aryans in digestive organs, stature, physique, features, expression of countenance, brain matter, color of skin and eyes and in the nature and color of the hair, which civilization has interfered with Aryan civilization so long. Aryans are now in all respects qualified to know themselves as a distinct race of men, and to know the other three races as each a distinct race, and is in a position to aid in the placing of each race in its own proper natural sphere, where each race can, without the molestation of any of the other races, make its own proper racial (natural) civilization.
It is a violation of nature's law for the ruddy or fair race to come in contact with the swarthy or dark race: for the swarthy or dark race to come in contact with the yellow—yellowish-brown or reddish-brown race, and for the yellow, yellowish-brown or reddish-brown race to come in contact with the black race: but each race should come in contact only with its own race, in all ethical, social, political and physical life.
Appreciating the fact that a people in order to undertake the handling of internal reforms, especially political questions, must have their government on a solid economic, industrial and financial basis, the first volume of this work is devoted largely to economic questions with a view to the placing of the Government in a position that the Aryans of this country may undertake the great duty which now confronts them as a race and as men. It also gives an outline of the four races of the world and their status in the United States, with some suggestions to Congress as to preliminary action.
The second, an extended volume, will discuss comprehensively and in detail, the racial situation in the United States. Aryan Europe, and other Aryan countries of the world; the effect of the indiscriminate contact of other races in Aryan countries on Aryan civilization: the attempt at an unnatural, inhuman, cruel, immoral, impracticable and impossible unity of races—and the necessity of a unity of the branches of the Aryan race, in order to insure the proper placing of the different races in their own natural zones and civilizations. And also the remedy for this unnatural condition now existing in the United States, that is threatening to overthrow Aryan civilization in the country, which if effected would also destroy the Aryan European civilization, as the Aryan civilization was overthrown in Hindoostan, Afghanistan, Persia, Armenia, Asia Minor and Southern Europe, thus retarding the world's civilization, which is entirely dependent
upon the Aryan race in its purity.
Looking to the aid of nature in the betterment of his own race, the last, the superior, the best, the perfect race, the highest species of the genus man: the race that improves and occupies its own zone and country and lives only upon its own earnings, the race that does not live upon the substance of another race—without the least prejudice or feelings of unkindness to any race, but for the true interests of the four races: If the author shall have been the cause of having the pure blood Aryan men, women and children of the world, of the present and future generations say, at least once in their lives, "I am an Aryan," he will feel that his labors have been of some service to his (Aryan) race, which race is the crowning of nature's highest 'world's civilization.
Since the publication of the pamphlet referred to, a change in the nation's lawmakers has taken place, and, as suggested in the preface above quoted, the undertaking of race purification can be the better accomplished when economic conditions are stable.
The author having this great achievement of thoroughbred animal (meaning human as well) and vegetable development in Aryan countries at heart, felt impelled to issue this tract, addressed to our Aryan Congressmen, the present lawmakers, giving some suggestions of legislation which would tend to keep this country prosperous, so necessary to the purity of Aryan body and mind.
The Honorable Aryan Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Sixty-third Congress, Washington, D. C.:
Farmers who owned farms and went through the great financial, commercial, manufacturing and agricultural depression of 1893 to 1897 which was brought about by a low tariff, and saw their farms run down in value to $25 per acre (the amount of the mortgage at the time), with no buyer at any price, and since have put in sixteen years of hard work, long hours and stinting their families to save their farms, now that the farm has again reached a value of $100 per acre, brought about by a restored protective tariff, should be in a position to make some suggestions.
Many times during this long struggle after the depression referred to, their minds doubtless dwelt upon the statement made by Mr. Lincoln, who, when he first went into politics, being asked about the tariff, said he had not made himself conversant with the question, but he knew that "when we bought a ton of rails in England and paid the gold for them, we had the rails and England had the gold; but when we made the rails in this country, we had both the rails and the gold."
This truism applies to each and every article and commodity used by our people, whether from agriculture or manufacturing, or from the arts and sciences.
It is very necessary that the National Government protect and foster all agricultural and manufacturing interests in a great agricultural country like this, in order to sustain and keep the country prosperous; "as agriculture is the foundation of manufactories, since the productions of nature are the materials of art," and "all taxes, etc., must at last fall upon agriculture, and agriculture can never flourish except under the protection of justice and moderation."
We have in continental United States—the great territory between 30 and 50 degrees parallel of latitude, running from the Atlantic to the Pacific (including Alaska)—enough territory having the land, soil and climate, with sufficient minerals, as gold, silver, zinc, tin, copper, lead, coal, etc., to take care of, feed and clothe, and give all of the comforts and refinements of life to five billions of Aryan people.
Still there are some people who are so short-sighted as to think that we cannot raise or produce enough breadstuffs, meats, sugar, cotton, wool, woods, minerals, etc., for our 75,000,000 Aryan people.
But want us to look to other countries from 1000 to 5000 miles away, neglecting and destroying our agricultural interests and depleting our population to support people in other countries; which, in the case of sugar in the West Indies and the Philippines are Semitics from the Spanish Semitisms, Mongolians, Negroes and their mongrels; in Hawaii are Mongolians and Negroized Mongolians, and in the case of cotton from Egypt are Mongolians and Semitics. The Greek Aryans to Egypt having been destroyed by mongrelizations of Semitics and Mongolians.
The cane sugar belt of the tropical and semi-tropical countries, viz: East and West Indies, etc., is much more limited in territory than the beet sugar zone of the great Aryan territory of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Non-Aryans—as the Semitics, i.e., Jews, Syrians, and the Armenians and Persians who are now Semitics; Abyssinians, Arabians, Moors, and the so-called Italians, Greeks and Spanish who are also now Semitics as well as the Mongolians and Negroes—do not use much sugar. It is the Aryan, the race of the North, the only race of men who require quantities of the heat-producing foods, and it can be readily seen that the Aryan race would certainly be retarded in civilization if the climate and soil in its own North country did not furnish vegetable matter for producing the best, most practical and cheapest sugar, the beet sugar, as also the delicious sugars produced from the sap of the maple. The sugar beet is grown in certain sections of all Northern Europe, and can be grown in the same latitude in Asia (and even England is now encouraging its growth in her country).
The great Aryan countries as France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany. Austria and Russia protect and foster their agricultural, as well as other industries, and all produce enough sugar for their own people, with a surplus for foreign customers, but the United States, a great agricultural country, with one of its States larger than the German Empire—which country grows its own sugar, and has a territory of only 208,000 square miles, with 65,000,000 all Aryan (except some Jews) population, but with territory sufficient for 400,000,000 people—the United States must belittle itself by looking to other countries for sugar, as she uses most all of the sugar from the West Indies, Sandwich Islands, the Philippines and other islands of the Western Hemisphere; still a large proportion of the sugar to this country comes from the beet sugar farms of the Aryan countries of Europe.
At the same time, we have cane sugar lands in the cane sugar zone of Louisiana and Texas to grow and produce enough sugar for 700,000,000 Aryan people, and this can be done on an area of 182 by 300 miles, viz.: 54,600 square miles of land, or 35,000,000 acres, with 2000 pounds of sugar to the acre—70,000,000,000 pounds allowing 100 pounds to each Aryan. This cane sugar zone, as well as our great beet sugar zone, is in Continental United States and under our Aryan system of government, the same as the other States; besides the cane sugar belt, Continental United States has sufficient territory under the thermal belts to produce enough beet sugar for not only 75,000,000 Aryan people, but for five billions of Aryan people.
The Aryan peoples' stomach and digestive organs are adapted to the starches from cereals, roots and vegetables, and oils from meats, butter, etc., of the North, the carbohydrates, the heat-producing foods. They do not require, and the Aryan people should not use, the strong astringent acid spices of the tropics, such as pimento (allspice), peppers, cloves, nutmegs and cinnamon, all of which have strong astringent properties. The acids in these tropical products destroy the gastric juices of the Aryan, whose stomach and body are already heated up with the farinaceous and oil (carbohydrates) foods of the North, and his Aryan stomach and digestive organs do not secrete the bile that the stomach and digestive organs of the Semitic, Mongolian or Negro do; the Aryan's stomach and digestive organs do not get so congested, and need these acid spices.
The same applies to all tropical fruits, such as bananas etc., nuts such as the cocoanut, brazil nut etc., and other tropical products, all of which contain astringent acids which affect the Aryan's stomach and digestive organs, and prevent digestion in a stomach and body already heated up by the carbohydrate foods of the North, which foods are adapted to only Aryans and cannot be digested by the lower races, as the Semitics, Mongolians and Negroes.
The breadstuffs, meats and fruits of Northern (Aryan) countries are not the foods adapted to non-Aryan peoples, and not even for Aryans temporarily in tropical countries. Nature made in the climate and soil for the new race (the Aryan), which embraces the country in the latitude above 32 degrees, in the Eastern and above 30 degrees in the Western Hemispheres, all the elements to produce all food products necessary and adapted to the stomachs of the Aryan, to make and maintain the fair-complexioned, superior man that he is, and with the fabrics for comfort and ornament, such as silk, wool, linen and cotton. Cotton is not a tropical plant, and will not ripen (make cotton) below 30 degrees latitude.
Better vegetable matter grows in the Northern country than in the tropics, or semi-tropics. The beet sugar is better for the Aryan stomach and other digestive organs than the cane sugars of the tropics, and the getting and using of cane sugars from the tropics for an Aryan people's stomach and digestive organs is unnatural, as the acids of the tropical cane sugars are more detrimental to Aryan stomachs and other digestive organs than the acids of beet sugars indigenous to the Aryan country; the Aryans being indigenous to the same climate as the beet sugar. Why then, should the Aryan people of the United States use cane sugars from the tropics, unnatural to their stomachs and other digestive organs, when they can grow the natural sugar for their digestive organs in their own Aryan country?*
[* NOTE:— The Health Department of New York City has just made a report, which shows that a large percentage of the Aryan children of the city have defective teeth. This may be accounted for from the use of sugars of tropical countries, in foods and candies, as well as the use of bananas, cocoanuts and other fruits and spices from the tropics. The acids of these tropical products destroy the gastric juices of Aryan men, women and children (their stomachs being already heated by Aryan carbohydrates) causes a disturbance of the stomach, and bacteria are produced, which destroy the teeth of Aryan people. This is a further reason why Aryans should use only, sugar and other products grown in Aryan countries.]
All vegetation is much better in the northern part of the zone (latitude) to which it is indigenous. The cane sugar of Louisiana and Texas, being grown in the extreme northern part of the cane sugar zone, is very much better for the Aryan digestive organs than the cane sugar grown farther south and in the tropics. Corn grows in all latitudes from the Equator to the Northern part of the United States, and is better the farther North it grows. Potatoes grow in all latitudes from the Equator to Alaska, and are better the farther North they grow.
Nature has provided in Aryan countries everything wanted and required by the Aryans, and Aryans do not need and should not use any foods, "food beverages," drugs or chemicals from tropical countries, as all of these and all other necessities and comforts of life can be found and produced in Northern or Aryan countries.
There are just two ways to bring about a quick solution of the sugar question so that the Aryan people of the United States will use their own lands, money and labor, to supply their own sugar, and have a surplus, and save and keep here all the gold they are now paying out to foreign countries for sugar.
One way is to place a tariff high enough that the cane and beet sugar farmers are so thoroughly protected that it will induce our farmers to grow the sugar beets and invite small and large sugar mills to be built among the farms for grinding the beets and making raw marketable sugar from the juice of the beet for the refineries. The same tariff would also stimulate cane sugar growth in our cane sugar belt.
The other way is to have no tariff on sugar, but to raise the revenue now raised on sugar from a tax on some other property, income, or other internal sources, as is done in England and Germany, and pay a bounty to our sugar farmers to protect them against the difference in cost of labor and production and the system of life of foreign countries, and against the unloading of the surplus of other countries at very low prices temporarily, which would be done to ruin the sugar farmer of this country with no tariff or bounty.
Either of these two plans would result in having our American farmers produce on our own farms, right at home, within five years, all the sugar we can use and have a surplus. And, too, to think it would require only a strip of land, either of cane sugar land or beet sugar land, or of both, of 60 x 100 miles, or 3,840,000 acres, producing 2000 pounds per acre, or 7,780,000,000 pounds, giving each of our 75,000,000 Aryan people 100 pounds of sugar annually!
This would require less than seven counties of acreage in either Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, or some other one of our 48 States which is under the thermal belt for beet or cane sugar; and, too, by raising our sugar in these seven counties we would keep our over $200,000,000 gold annually, and not send it away to feed, support and encourage the breeding of Semitics, Mongolians and Negroes and their mongrels in the tropical islands; but would give this gold to the support of our own Aryan race in our own Aryan country, making it possible for Aryans to increase and maintain families, helping in the making of our Aryan country as a pure-blood, thorough-bred Aryan population. Should not our Aryan people be allowed the privilege of giving their money to increase their own race, and use their earnings for the benefit of their posterity in their own country? What say you, Aryan statesmen?
It is easily seen that we have territory in our great Aryan country sufficient to grow sugar enough for 5,000,000,000 Aryan people. It will be seen that we also have territory enough to grow the meats, as cattle, sheep, swine and poultry; and the breadstuffs—cereals as wheat, oats, barley, rye, millet, corn, etc., and last, but not least, potatoes, both white (starchy) and sweet, for 5,000,000,000 Aryans.
Here it should be said that Germany grows annually 1,600,000,000 bushels of potatoes, having a value equal to both the great cotton and wheat crops of the United States, still Germany has a territory not larger than one of our States, but has 65,000,000 Aryan people. Germany grows the foods for her great homogeneous Aryan people, and her statesmen as well as the statesmen of the other Aryan European agricultural countries are not troubling themselves about hunting foods from other parts of the world, but grow it on their own lands.
If our Aryans cannot produce in this great Aryan zone foodstuffs for ourselves, we are certainly helpless; for we cannot get them elsewhere. The Semitic, Mongolian, and Negro countries, i.e., between 30 degrees North and 30 degrees South latitude do not raise any foods for the Aryan stomach, and we cannot hope to get much foodstuffs from the small territory in Argentina and Australia South of 33 degrees South latitude, the only territory in those countries and, in fact, south of the Equator, which can grow foodstuffs for Aryan stomachs, hence we must then look to Aryan European countries, which are only growing enough for their own people. Of course, we could send our Aryans to Canada to grow our foodstuffs on Canadian lands, but would it not be better to grow them on our own lands, under our own political and economic system?
A low duty or no (protection) duty on agricultural products, as live stock, cereals, etc., would not bring in much foodstuffs from foreign countries for some time, at least until after the farmers here could not grow it at a living profit, on account of the price being fixed by the foreign surplus however small, offered on the markets of this country which price, as in all cases of exports, is a reduced price. This would naturally reduce the quantity grown here, thereby demoralizing our farming interests, making farming unprofitable, unsettling land values, and throwing farm labor out of employment.
Demoralize and disorganize by free trade or low tariff, the farming interests of our country, unsettle land values, and make farming utterly impossible, and the cities and towns will soon be affected. General business stagnation and a commercial depression will follow. All labor: the farm laborer (which includes the farmer himself), the railroad laborer, the clerk, the lawyer, the doctor, the publisher, the merchant, and the banker is soon affected. Business is curtailed. Employment only on short hours at reduced wages.
Consumers without money, starving, decreasing, and dwindling away of the Aryan race, which is being supplanted by the lower races, especially the Semitics and Mongolians, who will live in the towns and, as always on Aryan substance, furnishing very poor customers for the Aryan farmers, as was the result in the Aryan countries of Greece, Italy and Spain, which Aryan countries were eaten out and ruined by these low races.
Since some say that there is not enough farm products grown, let the National Government protect and foster our agricultural interests, and ask the co-operation of our Aryan business men and people in making corporations to put money into the operation of farms. Make the stock of these companies popular with the masses of our Aryan people by good management of competent men, under a national incorporation law with Government supervision, and capital will flow into these farming companies. They would have the capital and be in a position to do INTENSE AND DIVERSIFIED farming by the use of thoroughbred animal and vegetable life, with Aryan labor, making every element connected with the soil as Nature intended it—THOROUGHBRED.
We have the lands. It rests with the Aryans in charge of our National Government to plan to get the capital interested in operating these lands, to give us in this Aryan country all the foodstuffs, clothing and other comforts of life from our own lands, as Nature intended intelligent Aryans should do.
Oh! Aryan statesmen, protect and foster our great Aryan agricultural interests and population; in order that we may be a great Aryan civilization of pure-blood Aryan people, interlocking our farms with our cities, Nature with the Arts; the Aryan people of the farm with their brothers, kindred and (Aryan) race of the cities.
Hence it would seem the height of folly to have our sugar farms somewhere else than in our own country, where our railroads could run to them and where our own Aryan people could cultivate the land. If we want to put sugar on the free list, or have a low tariff on sugar, let a bounty be paid sufficient to pay the difference between the cost of the American system of labor and production, and the system of life of other countries, or some system in line with Aryan European beet sugar countries. The farmer would then only keep enough of this bounty in the price (as competition among the farmers would regulate the price) of sugar to pay him a fair price for labor and expenses, and you may rest assured that within five years at the outside the enterprising (Aryan) people of this country would raise enough sugar to supply the whole of this country, and a surplus to send to other countries.
This country would not get sugar cheaper very long with no tariff on sugar, unless there were some legislation such as a bounty, to cause our farmers to grow sugar, as after one or two years, sugar-growing countries which furnish this country with sugar, would regulate their output so as to get full price for the sugar to this country.
Who would say that if one man or a set of men or a corporation, owned all of this country—the United States—and managed its material interests, they would not see to it that their own land produced enough sugar on its cane and beet sugar lands for its tenants and not look to the cane sugar farms of the West Indies and other islands and the beet sugar farms of Europe, but would use their own lands, giving employment to their own tenants, railroads, machinery, manufacturers, and wage earners in every capacity, in the growth, production and handling of this sugar?
A "low tariff" or a "tariff for revenue"—unless very high—on wool, would prostrate and destroy the sheep industry of this country, and it would not be long before the supply of wool from foreign countries would be in a very precarious condition as affecting this country, because those countries would be careful how they grew the wool for this market. The result would be that the supply and price would be regulated by foreign wool growers, and would be very changeable. Therefore the manufacturers of this country could not rely on foreign countries for wool, certainly not so well as they could on home-grown wool or home farmers, their own people.
The wool grower and every other agriculturist must have his manufacturing plant, his material and his operatives, with an outlay of money, as well as the manufacturer of cloth. While the manufacturer of cloth can see all the material in all the different changes it goes through in the process of manufacture, the agriculturist cannot visibly see changes, so as to aid Nature; hence it is very difficult to say what is raw material, and where manufacturing commences, as the sheep grower manufactures wool from the grasses with sheep as his operatives, which have to be fed and cared for. The silk grower manufactures silk thread from the silk worm, which has to be fed and cared for. The sugar grower manufactures sugar from seed, slips or cane he puts in the soil, and with great labor it is cultivated. The same applies to the wheat, corn and cotton growers, who are manufacturers, as are all others engaged in agriculture. So the agriculturists are also great manufacturers and their business being largely out-of-doors, subject to climatic conditions and the elements, is most precarious. As said above, it is difficult to say what is raw material and where manufacturing begins; hence all industries, agricultural and manufacturing alike, should be protected under the fostering care of the Government.
With the semi-arid grass ranges of the West and Southwest and the great sweet grass and cereal farming country of the Northern States, the United States has the territory for growing every grade of wool, and the finest Southdown and Canadian mutton for a population of 5,000,000,000 Aryans. To supply our present Aryan population it requires a very small part of this territory in acreage, then why look to countries 5000 miles away for our sheep farms? And, too, when we get our wool from a foreign country we get only the wool, but get none of the carcass of the sheep for its bones in fertilizer, for manufacturing and for refining purposes; nor its skin for the manufacturers nor the inner parts for fertilizer, nor the body for mutton, while if our wool was grown in the United States, we would have all the wool and all the by-products of the sheep, including mutton, the poor man's meat, as well as the rich man's meat.
Instead of being troubled about the wool question, why do not our statesmen give proper encouragement to our sheep growers and farmers, who will give us our wool at the door of the factories and the best and most wholesome of meat foods (mutton) at the residence of the people? Encourage our sheep industry, and give us plenty of the best home-grown mutton and wool, with a surplus.
Aryan countries having their farms and their population in the same country, find it necessary to foster their agricultural interests, and the greater their agricultural and manufacturing interests grow, the more necessary it will be for the national government of these agricultural countries to protect their agricultural, manufacturing and commercial interests, by a high protective tariff or in some other way.
All the Aryan Continental European States are now under high protective tariff systems. France, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Russia and Switzerland are great and successful manufacturing countries. England collects annually about as much from the tariff as does the United States, put protects her manufacturers by a trade-mark law. On account of not protecting her agricultural interests she has lost eight millions population in Ireland and England from the farms. Ireland alone lost nearly four millions population, solely on account of free trade in agricultural products.
The semi-Aryan countries of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Semito-Mongolian Turkey, however, do but little manufacturing, as these semi-Semitic and Semitic populations do not want or require much merchandise comparatively. Hence we should not chase rainbows talking about foreign markets in trade relations with the three lower races, as the Semitic, Mongolian and Negro countries, but whatever foreign business we do, we must do only with the Aryan people, who have the same stomach, digestive organs, complexion and features we have, and whatever goods we sell abroad will be our surplus at a reduced price, and whatever goods we buy abroad will be the surplus of our Aryan cousins and at a reduced price. Objection has been made that selling goods at a less price abroad than in the home market is discriminating against home buyers. All countries at times are forced to sell some goods at a less price abroad to meet competition, but it is their surplus which is sold, as the foreign trade of all countries is only the surplus. Even with an export trade of approximately $2,000,000,000 each respectively of England, Germany, and the United States, it is very small compared to the internal commerce of each of these countries, as the annual internal trade of the United States is probably fifty billions of dollars, that of Germany somewhat less, with England's still less. So, how thoughtless it is for statesmen to think of doing anything that would injure and prostrate the internal commerce and industries of their own country, in the way of agriculture, manufacturing, etc.
We should not get the idea that the tariff is levied only for the interests of manufacturers, when all other lines of business, including agriculture, are protected and make as much money as the manufacturers do, on the capital invested and the risk taken. It is however, easy to say that the tariff is for the interest of the manufacturers, they being the medium through which the wage-earners and every one else gets the benefit of protection. The fact is overlooked however, that the wage-earners, including the day laborers, the operatives, machinists, rent-collectors, salesman, clerical force and every one employed in all the departments of growing the material for manufacturing, and the manufacturing, selling, delivering and collecting of the money from the manufactured article, get not less than 96 per cent., the manufacturers not getting over 4 per cent., and in most cases much less, and even in some cases as low as 1½ per cent., on the expenditure, for their time, money, ability and risk. It would seem that the manufacturers are a very economical part of our civilization.
A "low" or "free-trade" tariff does not regulate trusts, but destroys agricultural and manufacturing enterprises, thereby taking away the opportunity from labor to earn a living. Let the Government prosecute the trusts and combinations and regulate them. This however, should be done through Government corporate control, in such a way as to protect the manufacturing part of the business and not destroy by low tariff every interest of the country, which of course, includes the wage-earner.
There are only two proper tariffs. One is a high protective tariff, levied to protect absolutely a country's agricultural and manufacturing interests; the other is absolute free trade. "Tariff for revenue" is a misnomer, as, like a low tariff, it does not raise revenue very long, from the fact that all farming and manufacturing interests become prostrated and the people become too poor to buy goods abroad, when their internal commerce is destroyed; hence, decreasing revenue for the Government.
It should not be a question as to what class of people pays the tax for the running of government. Owners of property should give their attention to see that the taxes, which must necessarily be levied and collected, are properly expended, and not squandered by incompetent officials, as the owners of property do not pay the taxes. All taxes in the last analysis are paid by the man who eats and wears and uses the conveniences and comforts of life.
To approach this subject intelligently, the fundamental proposition and fact should be recognized that whether the tax is levied and collected from incomes, inheritances, corporations, stamps, stocks, real estate, personal property, cereals, coffee, sugar, or otherwise, the people who eat and wear, and use the conveniences and comforts of life—and they are 100 per cent. of the population—pay the tax for the support of the Government, and that the province of government is to protect and foster internal agriculture (not foreign lands), manufacturing, and commerce, and all internal industries, administering the affairs of government as economically as possible, with always a view to progress and prosperity, levying and collecting the revenue from the class of property which admits of the least expense for collecting and putting it into the treasury.
Prejudice should no longer enter into the question of the tariff in this country, and when the whole country agrees that we should protect all our agricultural and manufacturing interests and maintain sound finance, we shall arrive at the point where it matters not what party is in power, our internal commerce and finances will not be disturbed, but will both be stable, and, as in the case of the great Aryan countries of Europe and Canada, we can have two great patriotic Aryan parties of Aryan statesmen, who unhampered by the country's distress, can undertake urgent internal reforms.
The tariff question of this country should be taken out of politics, and we should settle once for all whether we shall be, like all of the Aryan European countries (except England) a protective tariff country, with great agricultural interests feeding our people and exporting a surplus of food stuffs, besides supplying our large home markets' manufactured goods and shipping a surplus abroad, or like England, which pretends to be a free-trade country, when virtually she is a scientific (under her trade-mark law) protective tariff country, with no agriculture, but depending on farms abroad.
This great Aryan country some day should have not only seventy-five millions of Aryan people, but it has agricultural territory enough for five billions of high-class well developed Aryan people without requiring of the soil per acre more than is now produced in some parts of France, Belgium and Denmark. But first it must be cleansed of the Semitic, Mongolian and Negro races, which are now a drain upon the substance of the Aryan race, preventing their increasing and developing into a better mental and physical manhood.
With the growth and development of all Aryan countries in Europe, as well as the Aryan countries of North America, new questions are arising in the internal affairs of every country, which requires a united Aryan people, and all the patriotism and statesmanship of the Aryan people of whatever party. This is especially the case in the United States; but these internal reforms, cannot be brought about without the patriotic and intelligent co-operation of all the Aryan people, who must be educated by the statesmen of the two parties, as is done on issues arising in Canada and the Aryan nations of Europe.
Internal reforms cannot be so well effected when a country is prostrated industrially, when the average man is distressed for the existence of himself and family. These reforms can be accomplished better when the Aryan farmer, the Aryan manufacturer and the Aryan business and professional man is earning, at least, a living; and prosperity to all countries must be brought about through wholesome laws by the national government. As the father protects, fosters and encourages his family, so the national government must protect, foster and encourage the agricultural, manufacturing, commercial, industrial and professional interests of its country, by laws relating to foreign and internal commerce and sound finance, all with a view to the building up and maintaining of an industrious, enterprising and highly civilized Aryan
people in an Aryan country.

NOTE OF THE AUTHOR.
In the preface to the first edition (in pamphlet form) of "The Aryans and Mongrelized America: The Remedy by Junius Aryan," the author gave some suggestions as to the motive underlying the publication of that work.
An object may be looked at from several points of view, each of which appears different, but none may be correct; however, from some other and different viewpoint, it is shown in its proper and true light. A racial duty devolves upon the man who sees this, the only correct view, whether by accident or otherwise, to report it to his fellows.
Many men go through life absorbed only in the struggle for existence, and often with an idea of self-aggrandizement only. Because of this narrow vision, they pass off the earth like mere animals, without once seeing the unnatural. If they had given more thought to nature and right thinking, and had cast aside sentimentality, they would have been in a position to have used their intellect and reason in aiding the keeping of life in their generation—NATURAL; that is to maintain a proper position in nature; which is purity in all animal and vegetable conditions.
They would have seen that thorough and pure racial breeding in man is as essential to nature's laws as in the mute animals, and in the vegetable kingdom, and would thus have aided in handing down to their posterity. Aryanism, in Aryan countries in its natural state; they would have seen to it that it was not mongrelized in any manner or form.
The author, believing that he sees from the proper viewpoint the true situation of his (Aryan) race, and with the racial (natural) feeling for the purity of his race, is willing to give his aid without pecuniary reward, so as to place his race in its proper sphere, in its purity, as a race of mankind in nature.
In the preface above referred to he says:
The minds of Aryan men of right reason in this era, through their study of Astronomy, Geology, Archaeology, Paleontology, Ethnology, Ethnography, History, Tradition, Chronology, Dietetics and Medical Science, and from a consideration of natural filial respect, reverence, love and honor of their Aryan ancestors, the men who contained the "First Principal," the "Original" from which they descended and could only descend, since like produces like and produces like only, have been freed from the unnatural, irrational and gloomy civilization of the Semitics: a race different from the Aryans in digestive organs, stature, physique, features, expression of countenance, brain matter, color of skin and eyes and in the nature and color of the hair, which civilization has interfered with Aryan civilization so long. Aryans are now in all respects qualified to know themselves as a distinct race of men, and to know the other three races as each a distinct race, and is in a position to aid in the placing of each race in its own proper natural sphere, where each race can, without the molestation of any of the other races, make its own proper racial (natural) civilization.
It is a violation of nature's law for the ruddy or fair race to come in contact with the swarthy or dark race: for the swarthy or dark race to come in contact with the yellow—yellowish-brown or reddish-brown race, and for the yellow, yellowish-brown or reddish-brown race to come in contact with the black race: but each race should come in contact only with its own race, in all ethical, social, political and physical life.
Appreciating the fact that a people in order to undertake the handling of internal reforms, especially political questions, must have their government on a solid economic, industrial and financial basis, the first volume of this work is devoted largely to economic questions with a view to the placing of the Government in a position that the Aryans of this country may undertake the great duty which now confronts them as a race and as men. It also gives an outline of the four races of the world and their status in the United States, with some suggestions to Congress as to preliminary action.
The second, an extended volume, will discuss comprehensively and in detail, the racial situation in the United States. Aryan Europe, and other Aryan countries of the world; the effect of the indiscriminate contact of other races in Aryan countries on Aryan civilization: the attempt at an unnatural, inhuman, cruel, immoral, impracticable and impossible unity of races—and the necessity of a unity of the branches of the Aryan race, in order to insure the proper placing of the different races in their own natural zones and civilizations. And also the remedy for this unnatural condition now existing in the United States, that is threatening to overthrow Aryan civilization in the country, which if effected would also destroy the Aryan European civilization, as the Aryan civilization was overthrown in Hindoostan, Afghanistan, Persia, Armenia, Asia Minor and Southern Europe, thus retarding the world's civilization, which is entirely dependent
upon the Aryan race in its purity.
Looking to the aid of nature in the betterment of his own race, the last, the superior, the best, the perfect race, the highest species of the genus man: the race that improves and occupies its own zone and country and lives only upon its own earnings, the race that does not live upon the substance of another race—without the least prejudice or feelings of unkindness to any race, but for the true interests of the four races: If the author shall have been the cause of having the pure blood Aryan men, women and children of the world, of the present and future generations say, at least once in their lives, "I am an Aryan," he will feel that his labors have been of some service to his (Aryan) race, which race is the crowning of nature's highest 'world's civilization.
Since the publication of the pamphlet referred to, a change in the nation's lawmakers has taken place, and, as suggested in the preface above quoted, the undertaking of race purification can be the better accomplished when economic conditions are stable.
The author having this great achievement of thoroughbred animal (meaning human as well) and vegetable development in Aryan countries at heart, felt impelled to issue this tract, addressed to our Aryan Congressmen, the present lawmakers, giving some suggestions of legislation which would tend to keep this country prosperous, so necessary to the purity of Aryan body and mind.
THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.
AN APPEAL FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE TO ARYANS.
AN APPEAL FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE TO ARYANS.
The Honorable Aryan Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Sixty-third Congress, Washington, D. C.:
Farmers who owned farms and went through the great financial, commercial, manufacturing and agricultural depression of 1893 to 1897 which was brought about by a low tariff, and saw their farms run down in value to $25 per acre (the amount of the mortgage at the time), with no buyer at any price, and since have put in sixteen years of hard work, long hours and stinting their families to save their farms, now that the farm has again reached a value of $100 per acre, brought about by a restored protective tariff, should be in a position to make some suggestions.
Many times during this long struggle after the depression referred to, their minds doubtless dwelt upon the statement made by Mr. Lincoln, who, when he first went into politics, being asked about the tariff, said he had not made himself conversant with the question, but he knew that "when we bought a ton of rails in England and paid the gold for them, we had the rails and England had the gold; but when we made the rails in this country, we had both the rails and the gold."
This truism applies to each and every article and commodity used by our people, whether from agriculture or manufacturing, or from the arts and sciences.
It is very necessary that the National Government protect and foster all agricultural and manufacturing interests in a great agricultural country like this, in order to sustain and keep the country prosperous; "as agriculture is the foundation of manufactories, since the productions of nature are the materials of art," and "all taxes, etc., must at last fall upon agriculture, and agriculture can never flourish except under the protection of justice and moderation."
We have in continental United States—the great territory between 30 and 50 degrees parallel of latitude, running from the Atlantic to the Pacific (including Alaska)—enough territory having the land, soil and climate, with sufficient minerals, as gold, silver, zinc, tin, copper, lead, coal, etc., to take care of, feed and clothe, and give all of the comforts and refinements of life to five billions of Aryan people.
Still there are some people who are so short-sighted as to think that we cannot raise or produce enough breadstuffs, meats, sugar, cotton, wool, woods, minerals, etc., for our 75,000,000 Aryan people.
But want us to look to other countries from 1000 to 5000 miles away, neglecting and destroying our agricultural interests and depleting our population to support people in other countries; which, in the case of sugar in the West Indies and the Philippines are Semitics from the Spanish Semitisms, Mongolians, Negroes and their mongrels; in Hawaii are Mongolians and Negroized Mongolians, and in the case of cotton from Egypt are Mongolians and Semitics. The Greek Aryans to Egypt having been destroyed by mongrelizations of Semitics and Mongolians.
SUGAR.
The cane sugar belt of the tropical and semi-tropical countries, viz: East and West Indies, etc., is much more limited in territory than the beet sugar zone of the great Aryan territory of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Non-Aryans—as the Semitics, i.e., Jews, Syrians, and the Armenians and Persians who are now Semitics; Abyssinians, Arabians, Moors, and the so-called Italians, Greeks and Spanish who are also now Semitics as well as the Mongolians and Negroes—do not use much sugar. It is the Aryan, the race of the North, the only race of men who require quantities of the heat-producing foods, and it can be readily seen that the Aryan race would certainly be retarded in civilization if the climate and soil in its own North country did not furnish vegetable matter for producing the best, most practical and cheapest sugar, the beet sugar, as also the delicious sugars produced from the sap of the maple. The sugar beet is grown in certain sections of all Northern Europe, and can be grown in the same latitude in Asia (and even England is now encouraging its growth in her country).
The great Aryan countries as France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany. Austria and Russia protect and foster their agricultural, as well as other industries, and all produce enough sugar for their own people, with a surplus for foreign customers, but the United States, a great agricultural country, with one of its States larger than the German Empire—which country grows its own sugar, and has a territory of only 208,000 square miles, with 65,000,000 all Aryan (except some Jews) population, but with territory sufficient for 400,000,000 people—the United States must belittle itself by looking to other countries for sugar, as she uses most all of the sugar from the West Indies, Sandwich Islands, the Philippines and other islands of the Western Hemisphere; still a large proportion of the sugar to this country comes from the beet sugar farms of the Aryan countries of Europe.
At the same time, we have cane sugar lands in the cane sugar zone of Louisiana and Texas to grow and produce enough sugar for 700,000,000 Aryan people, and this can be done on an area of 182 by 300 miles, viz.: 54,600 square miles of land, or 35,000,000 acres, with 2000 pounds of sugar to the acre—70,000,000,000 pounds allowing 100 pounds to each Aryan. This cane sugar zone, as well as our great beet sugar zone, is in Continental United States and under our Aryan system of government, the same as the other States; besides the cane sugar belt, Continental United States has sufficient territory under the thermal belts to produce enough beet sugar for not only 75,000,000 Aryan people, but for five billions of Aryan people.
The Aryan peoples' stomach and digestive organs are adapted to the starches from cereals, roots and vegetables, and oils from meats, butter, etc., of the North, the carbohydrates, the heat-producing foods. They do not require, and the Aryan people should not use, the strong astringent acid spices of the tropics, such as pimento (allspice), peppers, cloves, nutmegs and cinnamon, all of which have strong astringent properties. The acids in these tropical products destroy the gastric juices of the Aryan, whose stomach and body are already heated up with the farinaceous and oil (carbohydrates) foods of the North, and his Aryan stomach and digestive organs do not secrete the bile that the stomach and digestive organs of the Semitic, Mongolian or Negro do; the Aryan's stomach and digestive organs do not get so congested, and need these acid spices.
The same applies to all tropical fruits, such as bananas etc., nuts such as the cocoanut, brazil nut etc., and other tropical products, all of which contain astringent acids which affect the Aryan's stomach and digestive organs, and prevent digestion in a stomach and body already heated up by the carbohydrate foods of the North, which foods are adapted to only Aryans and cannot be digested by the lower races, as the Semitics, Mongolians and Negroes.
The breadstuffs, meats and fruits of Northern (Aryan) countries are not the foods adapted to non-Aryan peoples, and not even for Aryans temporarily in tropical countries. Nature made in the climate and soil for the new race (the Aryan), which embraces the country in the latitude above 32 degrees, in the Eastern and above 30 degrees in the Western Hemispheres, all the elements to produce all food products necessary and adapted to the stomachs of the Aryan, to make and maintain the fair-complexioned, superior man that he is, and with the fabrics for comfort and ornament, such as silk, wool, linen and cotton. Cotton is not a tropical plant, and will not ripen (make cotton) below 30 degrees latitude.
Better vegetable matter grows in the Northern country than in the tropics, or semi-tropics. The beet sugar is better for the Aryan stomach and other digestive organs than the cane sugars of the tropics, and the getting and using of cane sugars from the tropics for an Aryan people's stomach and digestive organs is unnatural, as the acids of the tropical cane sugars are more detrimental to Aryan stomachs and other digestive organs than the acids of beet sugars indigenous to the Aryan country; the Aryans being indigenous to the same climate as the beet sugar. Why then, should the Aryan people of the United States use cane sugars from the tropics, unnatural to their stomachs and other digestive organs, when they can grow the natural sugar for their digestive organs in their own Aryan country?*
[* NOTE:— The Health Department of New York City has just made a report, which shows that a large percentage of the Aryan children of the city have defective teeth. This may be accounted for from the use of sugars of tropical countries, in foods and candies, as well as the use of bananas, cocoanuts and other fruits and spices from the tropics. The acids of these tropical products destroy the gastric juices of Aryan men, women and children (their stomachs being already heated by Aryan carbohydrates) causes a disturbance of the stomach, and bacteria are produced, which destroy the teeth of Aryan people. This is a further reason why Aryans should use only, sugar and other products grown in Aryan countries.]
All vegetation is much better in the northern part of the zone (latitude) to which it is indigenous. The cane sugar of Louisiana and Texas, being grown in the extreme northern part of the cane sugar zone, is very much better for the Aryan digestive organs than the cane sugar grown farther south and in the tropics. Corn grows in all latitudes from the Equator to the Northern part of the United States, and is better the farther North it grows. Potatoes grow in all latitudes from the Equator to Alaska, and are better the farther North they grow.
Nature has provided in Aryan countries everything wanted and required by the Aryans, and Aryans do not need and should not use any foods, "food beverages," drugs or chemicals from tropical countries, as all of these and all other necessities and comforts of life can be found and produced in Northern or Aryan countries.
There are just two ways to bring about a quick solution of the sugar question so that the Aryan people of the United States will use their own lands, money and labor, to supply their own sugar, and have a surplus, and save and keep here all the gold they are now paying out to foreign countries for sugar.
One way is to place a tariff high enough that the cane and beet sugar farmers are so thoroughly protected that it will induce our farmers to grow the sugar beets and invite small and large sugar mills to be built among the farms for grinding the beets and making raw marketable sugar from the juice of the beet for the refineries. The same tariff would also stimulate cane sugar growth in our cane sugar belt.
The other way is to have no tariff on sugar, but to raise the revenue now raised on sugar from a tax on some other property, income, or other internal sources, as is done in England and Germany, and pay a bounty to our sugar farmers to protect them against the difference in cost of labor and production and the system of life of foreign countries, and against the unloading of the surplus of other countries at very low prices temporarily, which would be done to ruin the sugar farmer of this country with no tariff or bounty.
Either of these two plans would result in having our American farmers produce on our own farms, right at home, within five years, all the sugar we can use and have a surplus. And, too, to think it would require only a strip of land, either of cane sugar land or beet sugar land, or of both, of 60 x 100 miles, or 3,840,000 acres, producing 2000 pounds per acre, or 7,780,000,000 pounds, giving each of our 75,000,000 Aryan people 100 pounds of sugar annually!
This would require less than seven counties of acreage in either Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, or some other one of our 48 States which is under the thermal belt for beet or cane sugar; and, too, by raising our sugar in these seven counties we would keep our over $200,000,000 gold annually, and not send it away to feed, support and encourage the breeding of Semitics, Mongolians and Negroes and their mongrels in the tropical islands; but would give this gold to the support of our own Aryan race in our own Aryan country, making it possible for Aryans to increase and maintain families, helping in the making of our Aryan country as a pure-blood, thorough-bred Aryan population. Should not our Aryan people be allowed the privilege of giving their money to increase their own race, and use their earnings for the benefit of their posterity in their own country? What say you, Aryan statesmen?
It is easily seen that we have territory in our great Aryan country sufficient to grow sugar enough for 5,000,000,000 Aryan people. It will be seen that we also have territory enough to grow the meats, as cattle, sheep, swine and poultry; and the breadstuffs—cereals as wheat, oats, barley, rye, millet, corn, etc., and last, but not least, potatoes, both white (starchy) and sweet, for 5,000,000,000 Aryans.
Here it should be said that Germany grows annually 1,600,000,000 bushels of potatoes, having a value equal to both the great cotton and wheat crops of the United States, still Germany has a territory not larger than one of our States, but has 65,000,000 Aryan people. Germany grows the foods for her great homogeneous Aryan people, and her statesmen as well as the statesmen of the other Aryan European agricultural countries are not troubling themselves about hunting foods from other parts of the world, but grow it on their own lands.
If our Aryans cannot produce in this great Aryan zone foodstuffs for ourselves, we are certainly helpless; for we cannot get them elsewhere. The Semitic, Mongolian, and Negro countries, i.e., between 30 degrees North and 30 degrees South latitude do not raise any foods for the Aryan stomach, and we cannot hope to get much foodstuffs from the small territory in Argentina and Australia South of 33 degrees South latitude, the only territory in those countries and, in fact, south of the Equator, which can grow foodstuffs for Aryan stomachs, hence we must then look to Aryan European countries, which are only growing enough for their own people. Of course, we could send our Aryans to Canada to grow our foodstuffs on Canadian lands, but would it not be better to grow them on our own lands, under our own political and economic system?
A low duty or no (protection) duty on agricultural products, as live stock, cereals, etc., would not bring in much foodstuffs from foreign countries for some time, at least until after the farmers here could not grow it at a living profit, on account of the price being fixed by the foreign surplus however small, offered on the markets of this country which price, as in all cases of exports, is a reduced price. This would naturally reduce the quantity grown here, thereby demoralizing our farming interests, making farming unprofitable, unsettling land values, and throwing farm labor out of employment.
Demoralize and disorganize by free trade or low tariff, the farming interests of our country, unsettle land values, and make farming utterly impossible, and the cities and towns will soon be affected. General business stagnation and a commercial depression will follow. All labor: the farm laborer (which includes the farmer himself), the railroad laborer, the clerk, the lawyer, the doctor, the publisher, the merchant, and the banker is soon affected. Business is curtailed. Employment only on short hours at reduced wages.
Consumers without money, starving, decreasing, and dwindling away of the Aryan race, which is being supplanted by the lower races, especially the Semitics and Mongolians, who will live in the towns and, as always on Aryan substance, furnishing very poor customers for the Aryan farmers, as was the result in the Aryan countries of Greece, Italy and Spain, which Aryan countries were eaten out and ruined by these low races.
Since some say that there is not enough farm products grown, let the National Government protect and foster our agricultural interests, and ask the co-operation of our Aryan business men and people in making corporations to put money into the operation of farms. Make the stock of these companies popular with the masses of our Aryan people by good management of competent men, under a national incorporation law with Government supervision, and capital will flow into these farming companies. They would have the capital and be in a position to do INTENSE AND DIVERSIFIED farming by the use of thoroughbred animal and vegetable life, with Aryan labor, making every element connected with the soil as Nature intended it—THOROUGHBRED.
We have the lands. It rests with the Aryans in charge of our National Government to plan to get the capital interested in operating these lands, to give us in this Aryan country all the foodstuffs, clothing and other comforts of life from our own lands, as Nature intended intelligent Aryans should do.
Oh! Aryan statesmen, protect and foster our great Aryan agricultural interests and population; in order that we may be a great Aryan civilization of pure-blood Aryan people, interlocking our farms with our cities, Nature with the Arts; the Aryan people of the farm with their brothers, kindred and (Aryan) race of the cities.
Hence it would seem the height of folly to have our sugar farms somewhere else than in our own country, where our railroads could run to them and where our own Aryan people could cultivate the land. If we want to put sugar on the free list, or have a low tariff on sugar, let a bounty be paid sufficient to pay the difference between the cost of the American system of labor and production, and the system of life of other countries, or some system in line with Aryan European beet sugar countries. The farmer would then only keep enough of this bounty in the price (as competition among the farmers would regulate the price) of sugar to pay him a fair price for labor and expenses, and you may rest assured that within five years at the outside the enterprising (Aryan) people of this country would raise enough sugar to supply the whole of this country, and a surplus to send to other countries.
This country would not get sugar cheaper very long with no tariff on sugar, unless there were some legislation such as a bounty, to cause our farmers to grow sugar, as after one or two years, sugar-growing countries which furnish this country with sugar, would regulate their output so as to get full price for the sugar to this country.
Who would say that if one man or a set of men or a corporation, owned all of this country—the United States—and managed its material interests, they would not see to it that their own land produced enough sugar on its cane and beet sugar lands for its tenants and not look to the cane sugar farms of the West Indies and other islands and the beet sugar farms of Europe, but would use their own lands, giving employment to their own tenants, railroads, machinery, manufacturers, and wage earners in every capacity, in the growth, production and handling of this sugar?
WOOL.
A "low tariff" or a "tariff for revenue"—unless very high—on wool, would prostrate and destroy the sheep industry of this country, and it would not be long before the supply of wool from foreign countries would be in a very precarious condition as affecting this country, because those countries would be careful how they grew the wool for this market. The result would be that the supply and price would be regulated by foreign wool growers, and would be very changeable. Therefore the manufacturers of this country could not rely on foreign countries for wool, certainly not so well as they could on home-grown wool or home farmers, their own people.
The wool grower and every other agriculturist must have his manufacturing plant, his material and his operatives, with an outlay of money, as well as the manufacturer of cloth. While the manufacturer of cloth can see all the material in all the different changes it goes through in the process of manufacture, the agriculturist cannot visibly see changes, so as to aid Nature; hence it is very difficult to say what is raw material, and where manufacturing commences, as the sheep grower manufactures wool from the grasses with sheep as his operatives, which have to be fed and cared for. The silk grower manufactures silk thread from the silk worm, which has to be fed and cared for. The sugar grower manufactures sugar from seed, slips or cane he puts in the soil, and with great labor it is cultivated. The same applies to the wheat, corn and cotton growers, who are manufacturers, as are all others engaged in agriculture. So the agriculturists are also great manufacturers and their business being largely out-of-doors, subject to climatic conditions and the elements, is most precarious. As said above, it is difficult to say what is raw material and where manufacturing begins; hence all industries, agricultural and manufacturing alike, should be protected under the fostering care of the Government.
With the semi-arid grass ranges of the West and Southwest and the great sweet grass and cereal farming country of the Northern States, the United States has the territory for growing every grade of wool, and the finest Southdown and Canadian mutton for a population of 5,000,000,000 Aryans. To supply our present Aryan population it requires a very small part of this territory in acreage, then why look to countries 5000 miles away for our sheep farms? And, too, when we get our wool from a foreign country we get only the wool, but get none of the carcass of the sheep for its bones in fertilizer, for manufacturing and for refining purposes; nor its skin for the manufacturers nor the inner parts for fertilizer, nor the body for mutton, while if our wool was grown in the United States, we would have all the wool and all the by-products of the sheep, including mutton, the poor man's meat, as well as the rich man's meat.
Instead of being troubled about the wool question, why do not our statesmen give proper encouragement to our sheep growers and farmers, who will give us our wool at the door of the factories and the best and most wholesome of meat foods (mutton) at the residence of the people? Encourage our sheep industry, and give us plenty of the best home-grown mutton and wool, with a surplus.
MANUFACTURING.
Aryan countries having their farms and their population in the same country, find it necessary to foster their agricultural interests, and the greater their agricultural and manufacturing interests grow, the more necessary it will be for the national government of these agricultural countries to protect their agricultural, manufacturing and commercial interests, by a high protective tariff or in some other way.
All the Aryan Continental European States are now under high protective tariff systems. France, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Russia and Switzerland are great and successful manufacturing countries. England collects annually about as much from the tariff as does the United States, put protects her manufacturers by a trade-mark law. On account of not protecting her agricultural interests she has lost eight millions population in Ireland and England from the farms. Ireland alone lost nearly four millions population, solely on account of free trade in agricultural products.
The semi-Aryan countries of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Semito-Mongolian Turkey, however, do but little manufacturing, as these semi-Semitic and Semitic populations do not want or require much merchandise comparatively. Hence we should not chase rainbows talking about foreign markets in trade relations with the three lower races, as the Semitic, Mongolian and Negro countries, but whatever foreign business we do, we must do only with the Aryan people, who have the same stomach, digestive organs, complexion and features we have, and whatever goods we sell abroad will be our surplus at a reduced price, and whatever goods we buy abroad will be the surplus of our Aryan cousins and at a reduced price. Objection has been made that selling goods at a less price abroad than in the home market is discriminating against home buyers. All countries at times are forced to sell some goods at a less price abroad to meet competition, but it is their surplus which is sold, as the foreign trade of all countries is only the surplus. Even with an export trade of approximately $2,000,000,000 each respectively of England, Germany, and the United States, it is very small compared to the internal commerce of each of these countries, as the annual internal trade of the United States is probably fifty billions of dollars, that of Germany somewhat less, with England's still less. So, how thoughtless it is for statesmen to think of doing anything that would injure and prostrate the internal commerce and industries of their own country, in the way of agriculture, manufacturing, etc.
We should not get the idea that the tariff is levied only for the interests of manufacturers, when all other lines of business, including agriculture, are protected and make as much money as the manufacturers do, on the capital invested and the risk taken. It is however, easy to say that the tariff is for the interest of the manufacturers, they being the medium through which the wage-earners and every one else gets the benefit of protection. The fact is overlooked however, that the wage-earners, including the day laborers, the operatives, machinists, rent-collectors, salesman, clerical force and every one employed in all the departments of growing the material for manufacturing, and the manufacturing, selling, delivering and collecting of the money from the manufactured article, get not less than 96 per cent., the manufacturers not getting over 4 per cent., and in most cases much less, and even in some cases as low as 1½ per cent., on the expenditure, for their time, money, ability and risk. It would seem that the manufacturers are a very economical part of our civilization.
A "low" or "free-trade" tariff does not regulate trusts, but destroys agricultural and manufacturing enterprises, thereby taking away the opportunity from labor to earn a living. Let the Government prosecute the trusts and combinations and regulate them. This however, should be done through Government corporate control, in such a way as to protect the manufacturing part of the business and not destroy by low tariff every interest of the country, which of course, includes the wage-earner.
There are only two proper tariffs. One is a high protective tariff, levied to protect absolutely a country's agricultural and manufacturing interests; the other is absolute free trade. "Tariff for revenue" is a misnomer, as, like a low tariff, it does not raise revenue very long, from the fact that all farming and manufacturing interests become prostrated and the people become too poor to buy goods abroad, when their internal commerce is destroyed; hence, decreasing revenue for the Government.
It should not be a question as to what class of people pays the tax for the running of government. Owners of property should give their attention to see that the taxes, which must necessarily be levied and collected, are properly expended, and not squandered by incompetent officials, as the owners of property do not pay the taxes. All taxes in the last analysis are paid by the man who eats and wears and uses the conveniences and comforts of life.
To approach this subject intelligently, the fundamental proposition and fact should be recognized that whether the tax is levied and collected from incomes, inheritances, corporations, stamps, stocks, real estate, personal property, cereals, coffee, sugar, or otherwise, the people who eat and wear, and use the conveniences and comforts of life—and they are 100 per cent. of the population—pay the tax for the support of the Government, and that the province of government is to protect and foster internal agriculture (not foreign lands), manufacturing, and commerce, and all internal industries, administering the affairs of government as economically as possible, with always a view to progress and prosperity, levying and collecting the revenue from the class of property which admits of the least expense for collecting and putting it into the treasury.
Prejudice should no longer enter into the question of the tariff in this country, and when the whole country agrees that we should protect all our agricultural and manufacturing interests and maintain sound finance, we shall arrive at the point where it matters not what party is in power, our internal commerce and finances will not be disturbed, but will both be stable, and, as in the case of the great Aryan countries of Europe and Canada, we can have two great patriotic Aryan parties of Aryan statesmen, who unhampered by the country's distress, can undertake urgent internal reforms.
The tariff question of this country should be taken out of politics, and we should settle once for all whether we shall be, like all of the Aryan European countries (except England) a protective tariff country, with great agricultural interests feeding our people and exporting a surplus of food stuffs, besides supplying our large home markets' manufactured goods and shipping a surplus abroad, or like England, which pretends to be a free-trade country, when virtually she is a scientific (under her trade-mark law) protective tariff country, with no agriculture, but depending on farms abroad.
This great Aryan country some day should have not only seventy-five millions of Aryan people, but it has agricultural territory enough for five billions of high-class well developed Aryan people without requiring of the soil per acre more than is now produced in some parts of France, Belgium and Denmark. But first it must be cleansed of the Semitic, Mongolian and Negro races, which are now a drain upon the substance of the Aryan race, preventing their increasing and developing into a better mental and physical manhood.
With the growth and development of all Aryan countries in Europe, as well as the Aryan countries of North America, new questions are arising in the internal affairs of every country, which requires a united Aryan people, and all the patriotism and statesmanship of the Aryan people of whatever party. This is especially the case in the United States; but these internal reforms, cannot be brought about without the patriotic and intelligent co-operation of all the Aryan people, who must be educated by the statesmen of the two parties, as is done on issues arising in Canada and the Aryan nations of Europe.
Internal reforms cannot be so well effected when a country is prostrated industrially, when the average man is distressed for the existence of himself and family. These reforms can be accomplished better when the Aryan farmer, the Aryan manufacturer and the Aryan business and professional man is earning, at least, a living; and prosperity to all countries must be brought about through wholesome laws by the national government. As the father protects, fosters and encourages his family, so the national government must protect, foster and encourage the agricultural, manufacturing, commercial, industrial and professional interests of its country, by laws relating to foreign and internal commerce and sound finance, all with a view to the building up and maintaining of an industrious, enterprising and highly civilized Aryan
people in an Aryan country.
