HKI'.K IS A LESSON.
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.
