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.
