J. HE INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY MAfcCII 22, 1888
This issue we publish the card
of Mr. T. J. Wilson, our present ef
ficient county assessor, declaring
himself a candidate for nomination
on the republican ticket for the im
portant office of sheriff. Mr. Wil
son has made an efficient official, is
a rr,an of steady habits and integ
rity, and if nominated and elected
to t-hat position, would serve the
puilic faithfully and intelligently.
Heis a Washington county man in
evry sense of the word; it is his
biih-place, the seat of his educa-
ti' and the centre of all his
int. -rests. Mr. Wilson is too well
krtcwn to make further mention at
this time necessary on our part.
We have no hesitation in paying
this short tribute to a man of the
people, who hesitates not to make
his aspiration known to those in
wnom the elective francniHO is
reposed. .
This week we have again surren
dered considerable space to a fur
ther discussion 'of the tariff ques
Uon. Thefac-thatthii U one of
the most important questions before
the people of the United States to
day, is sufficient justification for a
lengthy and serious consideration of
the vexed problem of political dif
ferences growing out of the eco
nomic methods to be adopted by the
republican and democratic parties
in legislating for the best interests
of the country. To the laborer and
every intelligent person of all par
ties, these articles are contributed,
and we ask from them a careful
reading and unbiased consideration.
Judge for yourselves; they are com
mitted to you without comment.
A Canadian has breught suit
against a St. Paul lady for breach of
promise of marriage. There is
nothing in the new fisheries treaty
that deals with matters of this sort,
and Mr. Chamberlin has already
sailed for England, so it may be
necessary to appoint a new commis
sion to establish fixed rules govern
ing the two nations while fishing in
each other's matrimonial market.

upon the occasion of the death

paper. AMERICAN UPOX THE TARIFF.
Oregon City, Or., March It, 1888.
EDITOR IN Dfci" IkJXUfL-rr By jour cour
tesy, I am permitted through your col
umns to say that I believe tbe most im
portant question before the American
- people is ''tariff reform." It is not po
litical except as it may become so in the
future, because both parties in the past
have tried to stand on the same "plank"
when breasting the breakers of past
campaigns. The events of a single day
in congress may at any time silence all
controversy and lay the matter to rest.
A friendly interchange of thought,
therefore, admissible at any time, can
not be objectionable now.
'American" says high prices and the
tariff are in the popular mind associated
together, but the bond of union is not
real. As a matter of fact, the tariff has
nothing to do with the value of manu
factured articles. That is governed, he
says, "by the laws of supply and de
mand, and the tricks of trade."
There is the rub, and this it is that
constitutes the gist of the calamity we
complain of.
All admit that man will "make his
" fellow mourn' if afforded an opporttin
ity the motive is ever present, power
is the quantity, wliaa possessed renders
condition inevitable. The all-important
question of legislation to-day is to find
some plan within constitutional bounds,
by which the rapaciousness of specula
tor$ money Icings and corporations of
.snch may be checked, and the wealth of
the country permitted to flow through
the natural channels made by labor, em
ployed by every of the numerous indus
tries and trades, rather than into the
coffers of these unscrupulous benefi
ciaries of our people's credulity.
What is the nature intent and evil of
the "trusts" we hear so much of and
about which congress and the country
are so much concerned?
' They are merely combinations of
"tricksters" for the purpose of advanc
ing the price of some commodity, or
regulating some industry, so as to se
cure the largest profits with the least
risk and trouble to the investor. Spec
ulators upon the necessities ef humanity,
diverting from its legitimate channels
the business of the country and creating
abnormal conditions in trade.
No new idea is developed so far as the
intent and purpose of the operators
are concerned than ha3 been practical
through combinations of capitalists
heretofore to effect like ends. These
combinations in the past and now deter
mine the amount of almost every manu
factured articles produced and by whom
it shall be produced the prices not ouly
of labor, but of the commodity when
and where lock-outs, shut downs and
strikes shall occur. In fact, combina
tions of the capitalists engaged in every
of manufacturing enterprises of any im
portance in the Union aIolutely con
trol the industry and as omnipotently so
as if it were the will of a single mind.
IIow can the country ever really pros
per, except so far as superior natural
advantages may force that condition, so
long as this state of things exist i
Capital is deluded by the situation
into investment only soon to find an
over-stocked market and tbe necessity of
cooperating with the combination to re
duce the supply and regulate the Indus
try. The wheels cease to turn and large
capital invested therein stands idle for
half the year, which might hare been
turned into more profitable investment
or enterprises, and in this way the devel
opmcnt of the country is greatly re
tarded. Nor is this the worst feature
from a humanitarian standpoint, for the
laborer is likewise deluded. When he
has work, the wages support his family
in reasonable comfort, and hope is buoy
ant, but when the joy stops from what
ever cause (he never solves it), he then
lives upon the barest necessities of life.
His debts are unpaid and his creditors
may meet their obligations ts the whole
salers, but these two, the laborer and
retailer, go down together. Would it
not be better could both calculate with
more certainty what the end would be?
Without discussing further the laws,
rules and usages that control the status
of "supply and demand," or "the tricks
of trade," let us consider how we shall
remedy the evil .
First, what are the conditions that
encourage or render possible these com
binations? Answering generally, we say
want of competition, for if competition
existed that could not by reason of its
dependence or adverse interests, or both,
could not le compelled to enter the
"trust" or combination, artd the latter
must fail in accomplishing its end. In
nine out of every tan cases where the
industry or rather its products are pro
tected under the tariff laws, no such
competition can exist in the Union, and
the fact is does not exist. Therefore
competition in trade and production
must come from foreign nations in order
that it may overcome the evils named.
This, we say, is the natural remedy or
rather the want ef this is the cause that
produces the trust and combinations
complained of.
Another proposition apropos just here
is that persons w ho hold different from
"American." viz : that tariff does raise
the price of products protected cannot
object to the formation, object and
aims of "trusts," because that object is
to iaisc the price or regulate the pro
duction of any given article, and thereby
the 'trustee" can pay higher wages to
Ialor, and of course he will, and we
shall soon see that millenial peiiod when
wealth shall be equally distributed, ex
cept wo shall have a few million
heirs, and the balance of us can meet on a
common level.
B. T. W.
THE TARIFF-lOSTIXl El.
Forest Ckovk, March 19, 1883.
We were not disappointed in the de
fence made by Mr. Schulmerick. Our
only wonder is the ease with which he
surrenders a point most vital to his side
of the question. lie certainly does not
wish to advocate the absurd proposition
that the American manufacturer would
sell at a loss in a foreign market merely
to keep up the price in the home
market.
If he can sell at profit prints at three
cents per yard in Manchester, he can
sell at a less price the same goods in
America. -' ;
What is true of calico is true of every
other article. It fs but competition
that keeps down the price in England,
and the lack of that keeps it up in tbe
home market. Were competition as se
vere in the United States as in England,
the price of the prints would be the
name in loth countries, and this with
out reference at all to the tariff.
If the proposition of the free trader
is true that the consumer must pay the
tariff in addition to cost of manufacture,
why is it that articles can be bought for
less than the tariff levied upon them?
Facts you see sometimes pierce the
sophistries of the wise.
Allow me to suggest a thought to Mr.
S.: Nearly every manufacturing enter
prise is shut up in some union, and the
retail prico of the manufactured article
is determined by a syndicate of manu
facturers instead of the manufactures
themselves. It is trust companies nnd
combinations that deserve our attention.
We ought not to allow the tariff to be
the hobby horse to carry all the sins that
belong to other and distinct causes. We
need our manufactories, but we are not
in particular need of the various trust
companies. We ought not to shut our
eyes and shout tariff reform, when gam
blers are manipulating our export and
import trade, dictating to us how much
we shall get for our produce and what
we shall pay for our goods.
The free trader views the tariff from
an economic ' standpoint, but does not
give due weight to all the factors that
may enter into the solution of the prob
lem. To his mind the payment of a few
cents extra per yard under tariff is of
more consequence than the benefits de
rived from manufacturing enterprise es
tablished in our midst. But if past
history is Of any account, his premises
are established on sinking sand, and he
is really advocating a policy the most
ruinous to his pocket. There is one law
all must admit the nearer the market
the higher price we get for our
produce. Transportation is always at
the cost of the producer.
Now, if the market for our surplus
food products were this side of the At
lantic, the cost of transportation would
le added to the price of our farm pro
duce. A truly wealthy country must be
one in which the producing and consum
ing classes are in equilibrium. The
nearer together the producer and con
sumer, the higher will be the price of the i
products. The manufacturer will get
his raw material and food cheaper the
farmer will get his goods cheaper; both
wm oe oenentea. Ihcse are but the
statement of the well-known laws of
political economy, but essential for us
to consider in debating this question
Every manufacturer is a consumer of
the products of the farm. The employe
in a factory must have his bread and
meat, and if thrifty, the luxury of fruit.
These his farmer neighbor ran supply at
reasonable cost. Increase the number
of employes in a factory and it will
take the more acres of the farmer to sup
ply the increasing demand. Importa
tion of food products from ether locali
ties will take place. A permanent
market enhances the value of land near
est it. A large manufacturing estal-
lishment raises the value of land owned
by the gardiner because the perishable
products that cannot bear long
shipments find a market near home.
Now, if America could build up her
manufacturing industry to the extent of
absorbing her food surplus, now shipped
abroad, her material wealth would be
advanced Our farmers would find that
the home market would Ikj the safest
and best. Again, a manufacturing
country is always, without exception,
a wealthy one. Each factory is a unit
of wealth. (A unit, by the way, that
a purely producing country never has.)
The more units the greater the wealth.
Money always gravitates to the manu
facturing centers. If our statement is
correct, it ought to be proven in the
history of several states in this Union.
Let us see: Compare producing New
York state of fifty years ago with
manufacturing New York of to-day, and
note the difference a difference largely
due to her manufacturing interests
Then she exported her surplus food
products, buying her necessary goods in
a foreigh market. To-day she export
her manufactured goods, and her farmers
cannot supply her home market with
breadstuff. One acre of land to-day
brings better returns than two did then,
and her real estate has quadrupled in
value. Every species of property has
been enhanced in value. And what has
been the history of New York state has
been the history of every state that has
fostered ber manufacturing industry,
and what will, we trust, be the history
of every state in the Union. No free
trader can point to a single state that
can substantiate his views. His theory
has never passed the period of swad
dling clothes in any civilized country
where capital nnd labor have been and
are comparatively high, for the simple
reason that the exjierience of the ages
have proven it to le a faKe economy.
Grant that the free trader is correct in
his views, the consumer would tare let
ter under tariff than free trade. Nine-
tenths of our food products are consumed
in me nome markets. lireak up our
manufacturing interests and we would
lessen our home maket and at the same
time increase th producing classes
Our surplus grain would lx increased
but we would not create an extra for
eign demand for our wheat by a bushel
India, Kussia and Australia, with their
cheap labor, can lay down a bushel of
wheat at f.iverool at a price ruinous to
the American farmer. This would not
be all. Our own manufacturing inter
ests destroyed, the English manufacturer
would put his own price on his goods
which would le as high as the market
would bear.
Money in England commands 2' to 3
percent.; in America from . to t per
cent. Lai Kir in England is but little
over half what it Is in America. The
English manufacturer, with cheaper
capital and cheaper laW, could under
sell his American competitor were it not
for the tariff. Tariff will le needed
until labor and capital are as cheap in
the United States as in England.
We are aware that the space so kindly
given us by tbe editoj is too 8rl o
permit of an elaborate discussion of the
question, so will close.
