EntTor Scot t .
Wc read in your is.-uo of M.n Hth,
"Medico's" article on Protection. His
sniugglcis only verifies the statement
that farmers have no protection. His
rain's horn does not toot beyond the
assertion that if the tarifi' had been
i
paid on the smuggled goods the
farmers would not have been
swindled. It is alout on a par with
the protectionist's claim that the tariff
keeps up the price of farm products
and labor. The claim ununot bo true
from the fact that farm products and
labor have gone down in prices under
the protection that he claims keeps
them up. Hut showing that the tariff
has not kept up the prices as he claims
is not saying that the tariff" has
brought them down. The tariff has
no power to put up or bring down the
price of labor. There is no tariff' on
labor and the wasres of labor are
wholly regulated by supply and de
mand", ahid although there is a tariff"
on farm products it never takes effect
until we fail to produce enough to sup
ply the wants of our own people, ami
have to import Irom some other coun
try and then the taiill will take effect.
If" the article imported is wheat the
effect will be to compel poor men who
have to buy their bread to pay at the
rate of twenty cents a bushel more for
it, while the man that is worth moie
and has wheat lo sell will get twenty
cents per lush'-l more for bis wheat,
and the poor man will pay it. And
this is the never failing effect of the
tariff' wherever it takes effect. It al
ways robs the l oor for the benefit of
the rich. The piice of labor in those
eastern protected establishments was
not brought down by the tariff'. The
t;u iff' had no such power, so the man-
ufaetuiers hatched a scheme in ISO 1
and went whining to congress lor
more protection. The wages of this
workman were too high, they could
not compete with pauper labor, and
if congress would pass a law authoriz
ing them to l.nng in tlieir laliorers
from Europe they thought perhaps
they could get along. So congress j
hastened to their relief and passed the
immigration law, empowering them to
bring in all the pauper labor they
pleated, under contract, and made an
appropriation, appointed a commiss
ion and clerks at our expense to put
the law in operation. And all this was
done with the avowed purpose of re
ducing the price of American labor.
They brought in tens of thousands of
foieigners until they overstocked the
market and brought down the price of
labor, and yet the very fellows who did
this are publishing tariff' tracts by the
ton and scattering them all over the
country, filled with the most out
rageous falsehoods to make tho farm
ers and laborers believe they tire all
protected. These tracts tell us that
the tariff' enables the farmer to get
better prices for his pimlucts, and the
laborer that he gets better wages and
steady employment, and that tho main
aim is to protect tho laborer and give
him the highest possiblo wages. Mr.
Powderly tohN us that there aro now
fiOO.OOO of those protected laborers idlo
that would work if they could get any
thing to do. We are not done with
the tariff yet. Homo.
