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.
