TltlSU'S SPEECH.
Saturday an immense audience greeted
Mr. Irish at the Court House in this city,
grerrseatin the large court room was fill
ed and scores had to stand in the ante rooms.
The speaker said th.it the only question be
fore the people was taxation in w hich all
were equally interested.. Now the tariff
never increased the price of wool a penny.
The flockmasters ere needlessly alarmed.
At the best the sheep interest is temporary.
as all men know sheep kept in large flocks
destroy the natural feed of a range and have
to more on, while horses and cattle do not
destroy it and therefore are a more perm
anent interest. There are cases in Oregon
in which men have had to sell their horses
and cattle and quit raising them because
sheep had invaded and destroyed the range.
But consulting tariff and wool prices from
the United States census and the official
wool report of Boston which makes the
wool price in this country ,we find the tariff
to be without value in raising the price of
domestic wool. The .Chicago Tribune, a
republican paper, and, therefore, good au
thority for republicanrrlnts the tariff and
prices on wool from 184710 .1881, from ofli-
cial sources, from 1847 to 1856 the wool
tariff was 30 per cent, and the price of wool
perpound ranged from 39 t049 cents,
averaging 45'i. In 1857 the duty was all
. taken off and there was free trade in wool
for four years, and the price ranged 45 to 54
cents, averaging 50, the. highest average
of wool for the last 41 years. In 1861 a
tariff of 5 per cent was put on the price
fell to 44 cents, In 1861 and '63 the tariff
was 1 5 per cent, the price 49;. In 1S64
.66 the tariff was 30 per cent , the price 46.
In 1S67-71 the tariff .was 60 jer cent, the
price 49 cents. In 1872-81 the tariff was
55 per cent, the price 46 cents. The aver
age price for the whole period 1847-188:
was 47 cents, and the average of the four
free trade years vas 50 cents a pound.
These official figures prove that we have
high wool prices under low tariff, and low
prices under high tariff, and the highest
average price of all tinder absolute free
trade in wool.
At tariff never added a penny to the
price of wool, it never added a mill to the
wages of labor. Labor is paid according
to its productive power. American wages
have increased with the Introduction of
steam, power and machinery into our man
ufactures, increasing the productive power
of labor. Fifty years ago in the cloth mills
of New England five men produced 2,400
yards of cloth in a year, and their wages
were $6p per pear, or $300 a year for the
whole five. Now by labor saving machin
ery in the same mills five men produce
140,000 yards of cloth in a year, and their
. wages are $287 each. Figure it for your
. selves. When live men for a total of wages
,f $300, made only 2,400 yards of cloth in
.a year the labor cost of the cloth was
frntsayard. Now live men make 140,003
yards a year, and their wages aggregate
$4351 but they produce so much more that
the lalor cost of the cloth is only 1 .08 cents
per yard. The labor cost of a pound of
American cotton goods is 644 cents. Eng
lish cotton of tne same grade has a labor
cost of 7 cents a pound.hecause the English
workman produces less and therefore the
labor cost is higher. The total cost of
American cotton goods is higher than that
of English.while the labor cost alone is low
er, for the reason that we lax the cotton
worker's dye stuff, machinery, oil, coal, lum
ber and everything he uses except raw cot
ton, while England leaves all them free.
You will observe then that the high priced
labor of America produces cheaper than the
pauper laborof England.bccausc it produces
more per hand, but England undersells ui
because we tax our manufacturers upon
what England leaves free.
Mr.Swiftiu his speeches admits that Eng
lish clothing is cheaper than American.but
says if we buy clothing in England what
will become of our tailors? Take off un
necessary tariff taxcs.aud our tailors will be
all right, for their superior productive pow
er makes the labor cost of an American
suit of clothes cheaper than 3 llrilish suit.
If then the tariff does not adil to the price
of wool nor to the wages of labor, why
should republicans refine to vote for reduc
tion of L'nited States taxes to the amount of
the $60,000,000 a year , which isnuwbein"
piled in the treasury, withdrawn from the
