World 2 00 MONDAY FHHKUAUY 14, 1S9S TRrUMl'Il OF PROTECTION. The culminating triumph of the system of protective taiiffs applied to Ameiiean industries is that it has taught the old world that low wages do not of necessity insure low cost of production. It is simple truth that the manufacturer of iron and steel goods in the United States pays from thirty to eighty, or even one hun dred, per cent more for his labor than Ins European rival, and that, though he has to haul his raw mate rial ten times as far from the mine to the furnace and shop, he produces a better article at a lower cost. In Us beginning protection increased the cost of sonic articles to the Amer ican consumer, but this was dining a short stage of commercial exist ence. Protection stimulated output, and stimulation of output involved fierce competition for possession of the home market, and that resulted in low prices. At last, says the Inter Ocean, the American output has exceeded all possible demands of the home mar ket, and foreign trade has become a necessity. To the astonishment of Europe it is proved that goods made by men who earn from &l.oO to 4 per day can be solJ as cheaply as those produced at a labor cost of from $1 to 3. America is teaching Europe a lesson in sociology. The low-paid laborer ot Europe often is a tool rather than a me cbinic. He woiks as he was taught to work by his father. lie improves upon nothing; he discovers nothing. He eats, he sleeps, he works ; he does not think. The better paid artisan ot America is better educated, more ambitious, and infinitely more inven tive. He is paid far more than the .European, and he lives upon a tar more liberal scale, but he produces far more and of better quality, al though he works fewer hours in each day. The European plan has worked to the degradation of the workman ; the American method has worked to his betterment. Thus we now are able to produce pig iron at from 62 to S3 per ton less cost than rules in Eng land, and this saving pays ocean freight and leaves a margin of profit on foreign sales. We arc selling steel rails to London, and covering the roads of Europe with American bicycles, and are putting American sewing machines into European shops and houses. We are furnish ing Japan, China, Australia and British Africa with steam warships, locomotives, electrical appliances and all materials of railway plants. It is, paradoxical as it may seem, to the high wages that our protective system fostered that our success in foreign trade is due. Competition for possession of the largest and most profitable home market of the world stimulated invention, and the intelligent ambition of our artisans made them specialists and inventors. Protection insured us.a home market, and commercial activity in that wide area has strengthened the arms of our commerce and manufactures till they have become able to reach out for and to grasp a large and increas ing share of the trade of the world. THE DE LOME INCIDENT. Either by the acceptance of dis graced Do Lome's resignation, or by bis recall, it matters not much which, lie was summarily ousted from the honorable and onerous position which be bos proven himself unfit to fill. It was a bad faux pas for so ex perienced a diplomat to make, even m a private letter. No true gentle man and diplomat could have so far forgotten his position and the re spect he owed to the chief magistrate of this great government. The United States will not lay Do Lome's fault at the door of the gov ernment at Madrid, and the incident need not necessarily cause any olli eial rupture between the two gov crnmcnts, though tl is likely to in crease inu nusuiu M-imim:iib auiuny , the people of both countries. The intelligent people of the United States I do not hate the Spaniards as indi viduals, but they despise the Spanish government, and reprobate its atro cities in Cuba, and sincerel desire the liberation of that island; hence would not deploic any incident that would bring on hostilities. Hut the De Lome incident, of itself, is no ad ditional occasion for war with Spain. Tribune. Kreii I'llln' Send your address to II. E.
