REPUBLICANS 11 VST HAVE A
POLICY.
The apparent disposition, says the
American, of many republican members
cf congress to do nothing save attack
tbe administration, and, while losing no
opportunity to blame the democratic
party and democratic legislation and
incompetency fr ihu continued depres
sion of trade ai d the t.'eplorable condi
tion of our itidiifirioF, co propose no leg
islation, ii:tu-li lets endeavor to pass
Jr-gislatfon, 1 v.ki.ng to the alleviation of
the Bufferings of our people and the res
toration of prosperity is most unfortu
nate, while the general lack of policy
and indecision on the part of the repub
lican leaders is unpardonable.
The people expect more than fault
finding of the republicans in congrees.
They look to them for leadership, fo;
a definite policy, for positive action.
They demand that every effo.t be made
to enact such legislation as will lighten
the burdens of our people, protect our
producers from destructive competition
witn degraded Asiatic and European
labor, give ;em ploy ment to our wage
earners at remunerative wagee, check,
the disastrous fall .in prices and secure
to our farmers and manufacturers a
market for their produce at fair prices.
Mr. Reed and others in congrees may
deem it wise to put forward no definite
policy, may deem it best not to bind
themselves up with any policy, but,
standing for no principles, to hold aloof
and await the turn of events. Bat vac
illation, hedging, indecision, the ffjrt
to shift responsibility, is not what the
mass of republican voters expect, and
republicans in congress cannot afiord to
shirk their responsibilities.
In the campaign of 1891 the lines be
tween the protective system and the
'Wilson-Gorman tariff were distinctly
drawn, and the large majority of the
republicans elected were pledged to put
forth every effort to restore a true pro
tective system.
It "is then their duty, when now as
ecmbled for the first time, to present to
the president a tariff bill that aims, not
only to provide ample revenue, but pii
marily to protect our producers from
unequal competition with well estab
lished European manufacturers who
stand ready to use their accumulations
of capital in an effort to crush out grow
ing competition in America by under
selling American producers even at a
temporary loss to themselves, if they
see the possibility of recompensing
themselves for such losses by charging
our consumers higher prices after they
have stamped out competition and to
free our consumers from dependence on
foreign manufacturers and .traders. In
framing such a measure let republicans
keep in mind that the separation of pro
ducer from consumer necessitates a sac
rifice of a large part cf the produce of
labor to pay transportation chargep,
which amounts to a tax on producers in
the form of lower prices, and a tax on
consumers in the form of higher prices.
To adopt a policy that drives us to look
to Europe for a market for our agricul
tural products, and to buy our inanu
eactured goods abroad, is to subject our
consumers and producers to this tax.
But this is not tbe only tax that such
separation is carried, the more com
pletely are our people placed in depend
ence on foreign traders. To permit our
home industries to be destroyed is to
destroy the domestic market for our ag
gricultural products and force our farm
eia osetka market abroad and to ac
cept what the foreign trader offers, or
keep their produce unsold, for the for
- eign buyer being the only buyer he
would be in position to dictate terms ;
while, on the other hand, the foreign
manufacturer finding no domestic com-1-etition,
would be in position to fix the
price on what our consumers bought.
To reduce this separation of consumer
and producer to a minimum is the aim
of a protective tariff, and a tariff condu
cive of these ends republicans should
make every effort to pass.
The office of road inquiry of the de
partment of agriculture has completed
an interesting investigation relating to
the use of the common roads of the
United States. Returns have been re
ceived from about 1200 couuties, show
ing the average length of haul from
farms to markets of -shipping points to
be twelve miles; the average weight of a
load for' two' horses, '2000 pounds, and
the average cost per ton per mile, is 25
cent?, or 2 for tbe entire haul. Esti
mating the farm products at 219,824,227
tons in weight, and making estimates on
other articles carried over the roads, it
is calculated that the aggregate expense
of this transportation in the United
states is $946,414,665 per annum. He
ports have been asked from the United
States consuls abroad of the expense of
hauling where the roads are good, eo as
to render possible a calculation which
will show how much of this large outlay
is due to bad roads. The estimate is
ventured, however, upon information in
the office of road inquiry, counting the
loss of time in reaching markets, the en
forced idleness and the wear and tear to
live stock . and hauling machinery
caused by poor "roads, that two-thirds of
the cost might be saved by an improve
ment of the roads.
