In 1S72, hides were put on the free lisi A loud lamentation of "interested" gentle' men went up that the industry would be ruined. But look at the result. In 1872, with a duty on hides.we exported $1,445,178 of the raw material and $3i68-t, 020 of the manufactured product that is to sav, leather in one form or another. Now, if the theory of the high tariff people sound, the result of taking off the duty would have been the flooding of the coun try with the pauper made leather and pau per made shoes of Europe, the exportation of more raw material and the ruin of ou tanning and shoemakiug industries. But instead of this the exportation of leather and the productsof raw hides falling off it began immediately to increase, in creased steadily year by year until 1887 we exported $10,436,138 of leather and its man ufactured products, an increase of 300 per cent in flyc years. On the other ha while In 1S71 with a duty on hides we ex. ported $1,445,173 cf raw hides and skin we exported in iSS7,with no duty at all, but $765,625 worth. In other words,instcad o: (ending more raw material abroad for for eign workmen to work up we kept practi cally all our raw material at home,increas ed our export of manufactured pioducts threefold, thereby giving employment to three times as many workmen at good wages as were employed when hides were protected by a duty. We have not only- supplied our own vastly increased horrn market, the additional consumption in five years being slightly over $10,000,000, using practically a'l the home supply of hides, but we have imported hides, worked them tip into manufactured products with American labor, paid good wages and have sold that product at good profit in the foreign mar' kets. Therefore the free listing of raw hides has had this result : It has checked exportation of raw material, increased pro duction of leather and the products of leather,increased the prosperity of the tan ner and shoemaker by giving them more work to do.bro ught wealth to the country by Increasing its exports,stimulated manu facturers and giving employment to three times as many workmen as when hides paid duty. Now these are tremendous facts, and the newspaper that either through brazen au dacity or benighted ignoraiice asserts that the free listing of hides was a mistake, had better give them a little serious attention They are worth whole columns of specula- tions and assertions as to what might hap. pen if this or that commodity should be placed on the free list Here is not what might, could, should or would happen, but what did happen. Here is the result of the experiment actually tried, and what havoc it docs make in the ingeniously contrived theories of the protectionists! It utterly wrecks them. It leaves no two fragments holding together. It shows by the most irrefutable of all demonstrations appeal to the facts, that the theory of the high protectionists as to what would happen if the policy of the Mills bill should be car ried out arc false from beginning to end. Four years ago,Tuesday last, M. II. Ve- Young, who is now regarded as the polit ical prophet of the republican party of this coast, said : "Uh Blaine will be elected by an overwhelming majority and Cleveland will cut a very poor figure in the fight. lie will be the worst beaten man that ever ran for the presidency." I Ie is now engaged in the same sort of braggadocio, but we will wait and see how far from the truth he is again. Four years ago last Tuesday the Orego uitiH said : "It Is he opinion of nut a few practical observers that the democratic majority this year in New York and Brook lyn will not amount to one-third of 47,000." The majoiity was 58,795. We feel safe in saying that the indications now are that Cleveland will have CS,ooo majority In the titles. Wool is higher now than when it was un unii wnctner me mills bull would pass the house or not. The inevitable law of supply and demand operates at the most unexpected moment to set aside and refute the absurdities of the high protective theory of the republican party. -drUunlilln, I'rni-tlonl Tailoring.
