The following twenty reasons conclu
sively show that high tariffs do not make
high wages :
I. Because to say that age earners as a
body can increase their wages by paying
high tariff taxes, which fall mainly upon
them, is to say that a man can increase his
wealth by picking his own pocket.
3. Because the value of wages consists
not in money, but in the articles which
money buys,and the express object of a high
tariff is to'make these articles dear.thus de
creasing the real reward of labor.
3. Because the high tariff policy, while
ta-ing the wage earner upon marly every
thing that he has to buy, gives him no pro
tection upon the only thing he has to sell.
We have free trade in human labor.
4. Because wages represent the wage
earner's share of what he himself produces,
and are high or low according as his pro
duction is large or small.
5. Because the wages of even the one
wage earner out of ten claimed to be "pro
tected" are determined by general causes
rathei than by the tariff.
6. Because if a high tatiff raises wages
at all, its first and greatest effect must be
in the "protected" industries, whereas the
rate of wages is considerably lower in these
industries than in the unprotected ones.
7. Because the high rate of wages in the
United States is due to other causes than a
high tariff, such as the extent ot unsettled
territory, the large returns of agriculture,
the natural resources of the country, the
extensive use of improved machinery, the
intelligence and energy of the working pop
ulation and the greater efficiency of their
labor.
8. Because at least nine wage earners out
of every ten in this country are engaged
in occupations not subject to the competi
tion of foreign importations, so that the
rate of wages which they receive cannot
be in any degree dependent on a high tariff
9. Because a high tariff upon raw mate
rials raises the cost of manufacturing, re
stricts the market for goods, and prevents
the manufacturer from paying as high
wages as he would have to if his material
were freer.
10. Because the rate of wages increased
faster in this countly in the low tariff period
between 1850 and i860 than it ever has since
under a high tariff.
11. Because wages were high in the
United States compared with those paid in
other countries before it ever had a high
tariff or any tariff.
1 2. Because China has enjoyed for thous
ands of years the full benefits of high tariff
"protection," while her wages for skilled
labor are 20 cents a day, and Chinese immi
gration in search of higher wages has be
come a mrr.ace to American wage earners,
13. Because there are greater differences
between rates of wages paid in different
parts of this country ,all subject to the same
high tariff, than between rates of wages in
Massachusetts and in England.
14. Because the rate of wages has in
creased from 50 to 100 per cent in England
since she abandoned the high tariff policy.
and because her wages are from 50 to 100
per cent higher than in the high tariff coun
tries In continental Europe.
15. Because a high tariff fosters tiusts
and other combinations of capital for rais,
ing the price of everything but labor, and
destroys that competition for labor between
different employers which is the great
agency in rai-ing its wages.
16. Because if the manufacturer really
believed that a high tariff compelled him to
pay high wages, he would be a low tariff
man.
17. Because the manufacturer does not
raise his rate of wages when he gets a high
cr tariff duty upon his product; the tmnu-
facturcr who makes large profits out of the
tariff can undoubtedly pay high wages, but
he dosen t.
18. Because the average amount of
wages paid by the protected manufacturer
in the production of $1 worth of goods is
less than 20 cents, while the average tariff
tax is 47 cents, leaving 27 cents for the
pofits of the manufacturer and the extra
cost of raw materials due to the tariff.
ly. Because Hie theory that a high tariff
makes high wages is principally advanced
to men who have never shown any sym
pathy with legislation to promote the wel
fare of the wage-earners, by doctrinaire
protectionists, political paitisans, and man
ufacturers who have a selfish interest of
their ow n.
Jo. Because this theory is opposed bv the
Democratic party, made up principally of
w age-earners, arid ever seeking to promote
their true interests.
The tariff question was discussed at the
weekly ministers' meeting at Saratoga on
Monday, in which resident and visiing
clergymen took part. The Rev. Dr. Iler,
rick Johnsonof Chicago cited Illaine'scoach
ing trip to disprove the Maine man's state
ment that the wages of American working-
men cannot be reduced without their con.
sent, and saiu: "Andrew Carnegie made a
difference of $1,500,000 in the aniiul profits
of his iron mills by forcing his men to sub
mit to a reduction of 10 per cent, in their
wages, for no just cause, and he spent a
portion of that sum in tacking Mr. Blaine
and family on that coaching trip through
England and Scotland."
David Bennett Hill was renominated
yesterday by the democrats of New York
for Governor of that state by acclamation
and amid great enthusiasm. Eight months
ago the Democrat predicted that Grover
and David would make the spanking team
that would pull New York into the demo
cratic column this fail. We adhere to the
prediction.
