Homo. High Valley, July 31, 1888. En. Scout: "Medico" lins British free trade de moralizing the powcrn of 'JJurkey, In dia and Spanish America all charged up to free trade, when the nio.st aver age Mdiool hoy could tell it i.s all through this excessive taxation, a.s the history of our American colonists will testify. While living in the Slate of Iowa 1 made the acquaintance of ainisMoim ry from India, who.-c youth had licen passed in (hat laud. 1 asked him the question: How can the llritish grow wheat so cheap in India? He replied : "It is the old llritish method of extor tionate taxation. They don't leave anything for the people to live on, and to make it more binding the people of India dare not touch a stalk of their own grain until the government tax collector has taken the part belonging to the government." That is fiee trade truly. Is Egypt enjoying tho same blestfed ruling? Great Britain may be doing wrong, but she is not playing tho fad. She may bo laying up wrath against the day of wrath, but Johnny Hull chuckles to-day as he rattles the guineas in his pocket. Ho denies antinmony to Ireland because that country yields him so many mil lions a year. Ho refuses freedom to Egypt to enforce the corrupt claimH of his Mibjccts. He docs not allow the people of India the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, because he can coin their sighs and mint their tears. No freo trade principal this. "Medico" charges that Mr. Mills dodged the issue. I will take the bill as it passed tho House, and see. Su gar was found at a duty of $78.15 and tho bill reduces it to $2GMl. Then) will be but littlcfuss about tho enor mity of that reduction. It cuts down tho revenue from sugar, $11,579,000. Uy placing wool on the free list tho tariff reduction is $(5,300,000. Tho next largest item is the tin plate, from which n duty of $7,700,000 was derived. Not a pound of this tin plate was made in tho United States. Tho next is salt. All dodging the iwsue, assertions and pen pictures amount to nothing. I could assert that tho moon is a green cheese and could come as near proving it asyou can to proving tho assertion that tho tariff is not added to tho price of the goods and paid by tho consumer. No tariff law was ever enacted for tho benefit of tho poor. There is twice an much capital invested in manufac turing in this country as is needed to supply tho whole country, and the hundreds of millions of dollars that has been taken from the farmers and other laborers in this country in tho last twenty-llvo years by a protective tariff is now seeking investment in tho wes tern farm mortgages. ,'You may go into any town in all theso Western States, that is large enough to support a few lawyers and land agents, and you will ti ml signs at some of their office doors reading: "Money to Loan on Heal Estate." Theso agents havo their instructions, and if your farm is worth $.'1,000 thoy will loan you $1,000 and lake a mortgage on your whole farm to secure it, and this thing is now being practircd all over tho country until it is now estimated that at least one third of all tho farms in the United States tiro under mortgage. "Medico," with his mental learning and natural ability should be able to thoroughly understand all tho opera tions of a protective tariff, and 1 insist that you explain to us fully ami fairly whyjit is that the farmers of tho State of New York arc being bo rapidly im poverished, as tho reports from that State show us. They aro surrounded with hundreds of those protected la borers that you claim furnishes a good home market for farm products, and according to your teaching they should bo among tho most prosperous far lu cre in tho country. Hut it seems they are getting poorer all tho time, whilo there is at least a hundred men in that Stuto to-day worth ono million of dol lars and upwards whero Micro was but ono in 1800, and not one of three mil lionaires can bo found among tho farm ers or laborers. No sir, you can't find one farmer in tho whole United States that has made $1,000,000 in tho last twenty-five years by farming, oven with ft clear title of 100 acres of laud to be gin with, whilo wo can find thousands of millionaires among those favored gentlemen who aro authorized by a protective tariff and other class laws, to muko millionaires of themselves by robbing tho laboring classes of tho country, to such an extuntthutat least ono third of nil tho farmers of tho Uni ted Slutcs havo been compelled to bor row back a portion of their own earn ings fioin theso bbbcra, and rnortgago their farms to socwro it. Hut tho poor followw who perforin nil tho hard lalor u thoo protected institutions and litiYe uo unuH to mWlg'ugo uro t'uruVtl out of employment about half their lime, to beg, steal or starve, in order that tho favored gentlemen may make their millions, and let their machinery lyidlo one-half the time. Not ix single farm do wo know of being mortgaged to secure machinery or to pay for ex travagant living or for keeping up ap pearances. I wiil give two instances which are fair f-amples of the way our laborers are paid here. I will quote a little from tho Western Christian Advocate, published at Cincinnati, Ohio; "In ( this city there are 25,000 women and I children who are wage workers, the ' most illy paid of these are those, who j do shop work for largo clothing and cloak linns, rrom personal inter views with the work women the writer of this article gleans the following: For making jeans pants they get $1.00 per dozen, and it takes three days to make eight pair. For making cloaks that sell for $15, 80 cents; for new markets, 00 cents; cheviot shirts, 10 cents per dozen. For making pants, 5 cents is paid; for vests, 2$ cents, ten or twelve being a big days work. For making ladies, cloaks on which there arc seven rows of stitching, they get 10 or 50 cents. There aro .'JO.OOO cloak makers, many of them the sole sup port of their families, whom, if they make a scanty living, must work more than 12 hours a day, for seven days a week. Several years ago hundreds of Jews were imported from Russia by our large protected manufactories and and tne making of fur cloaks fell from $2.00 to 75 cents. That is keeping America for the Americans. Again, and to make tho matter worse, if one of these poor, half starved women goes out to buy 25 cents worth of sugar, our government takes of that amount ten cents in order that 1200 sugar planters living in Louisiana may make twenty-live per cent, per annum profit on a largo investment according to their own admissions living in luxury without work." Is that tho way American labor is protected? Now for the cotton goods argument of which there is tho largest lurid', es pecially prints, of anything wo have in the country, and yet I bclievo there is no country in the world that has cheaper cotton goods than we have. I have got tho report of tho committee on Ways and Means, which gives a table of articles with a full explana tion of the duties per cool, ad valorem and specific, from which I shall quote: 'The above table shows tho true na ture of specific duties, and the consum er can see why it is that manufactur ers clamor for them. They know the different values of these goods and what apt words will cmbraco the high and low priced together, and make tho poorer people pay the, same tax for a yard of cloth worth -15 cents that tho wealthy do for a yard that cost $11.00, but tho specific duty conceals the ad valorem rate, taxes everything accor ding to its value. A duty of -10 per cent, ad valorem would have imposed a tax of $1.-M on tho yard of broad cloth and 18 cents on tho cotton warp cloth that cost -15 cents, and tho duty would have been fair to both, as it is the tax is 180 per cent, on the cheap cloth and 50 per cent, on tho high priced broadcloth. In the cotton goods schedule we see thesamo vicious inequitable and illogical results of the specific duty. Again, the Secretary of the Treasury says it will be seen by the tables sent him by persons dealing in cotton goods imported into tho Uni ted States from foreign countries that cheap goods costing $3.55 per yard pay $1.76 per cent duty, whilo thoso costing $8.12 per yard pay 77 per cont. duty, and goods thut cost -1 cents per yard pay n duty of 79 por cent., whilo those that cost 2 cents pen yard pay a duty of 208 per cent. Now, Mr., don't you believo 208 per cent on this 3-cont goods makes it cost our consumers 0 cents a yard, and that shuts out that class of goods, as wo nio only paying 5 cents for it, hut that adds to the prico wo pay 150 per cent, abovo cost. Don't forgot that wo can make cot ton goods cheaper than thoy can in England. Your tracts show you Hint. Hut if thoy cost tho sumo, our manu facturers can afford to sell them in England with tho usual wholesale profits so that tho retailers thero can sell them at 3 cents a yard and make his usual tctail profits, because at 3 cents a yard there is 50 percent, profit to ho divided among tho dealers, and that is enough and more than is over mudo by funning, If I euy I can buy our own goods cheaper in England than I can at homo, 1 um at onco pro nounced a fool, but such is tho fact. Tho tiino may como whin tho peo ple will bo willing to tako tho tax off whiskey, but thut will not bo in No vember, when tho duty on flannels is lets than G8 per cent, and tho duty on women's and children's clothing has beou jvduced from 72 per cent. Theso uro tli'o ruU's (o-Uurk. In the manufacture of boots and shoes, wages aro more than double, yet our greatest mechanical triumphs aro in this department. Free wool means freo trade, but free hides means pro tection. The duty on hides was re pealed June (5. 1872 in the first se.-sion of the Forty-third Congress in which both Houses were (hen republican. The duly at that time was only 10 per ! cent, nothing compared to the duty on wool. Did the repeal of the duty ruin the shoe industry? Did it increase the cost l the constunvr? Did it result in low wages? Not at all. Free raw material to the shoemaker led to a re markable development of the business. It lowered tho price of shoes, increased' wages in favor of American workers in shoes, greater than it did in favor of the American worker in wool. Freo raw materials, better machinery, wider markets have increased the wages in tho shoo industry and lowered the prico of fchoes. That will be the histo ry of the woolen industry. Only recently I picked up an old paper that stated a bill had been rushed through Congress placing qui nine on tho freo list. You appear to be an old medico, and certainly know whqt quinine is and its use. Hy that move was the country ruined? Did wages fall? Did any catastrophe over take tho pill industry? At that time ono firm in 1'hiladclphia had a mo nopoly of tho quinine business. Then as now no lack of direful threats that this firm would transfer its business to Germany and enormously increaso tho price of relief from the shakes, but the transfer did notseem to tako place. The pi ice of quinine went down, but tho business of manufacturing it in creased. Tho monopoly was broken and now ix firms aro engaged in the industry. An ounce of practical ex ample is worth a pound of theory. Answer to the steel industry camo as a specimen of "over the hills to the poor house." What the American farmer wants is a home market in which he can purchase his supplies as cheap as his competitors. When ho cannot get this, then he asks that thero may be such a system as will enable him to purchase elsewhere, and import them without being unreasonably lined for carrying on this business. We want not only home markets, but mar kets of all the world, for a variety of the products of this great country. Wo want to remove as far as wo can the barriers which annoy our industries, so that this country may take its place with the great commercial countries of tho world,jiud become rich and power ful as no other country has ever been. HOMO. in Kir. r.usiNKSs itoo.mxr.. Probably no one thing lias caused such a general revival of trade, at Wrighl,s drug store as their giving away to their custo mers of so ninny free trial bottles of Dr. King's New discovery for Consumption. Their trade Is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, llronehitls, Croup ami a'l throat and litnu; diseases quickly cured. You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, largo size f I. Every bottle warranted.
