You can not hide your real motive behind
the general statement that you want to
cheapen sacks. Those who nre burdened
by this heavy duty demand that you shall
show your faith in words.
NOT "A PLAIN STATEMENT,'
The Herald-Disseminator, in an article
nearly two columns long, under the cap
tion of "A Plain Statement," makes some
of the most egreglously absurd blunders
that we have met with in this campaign.
The benighted scrawler of the self-appoint
ed grange organ says that the 40 per cent,
duty levied upon sacks used by farmers is
not added to the price which farmers have
to pay. Now we submit that such a state
ment is too absurd and ridiculous for a
moment's serious thought. It would be
just as reasonable and truthful to say that
the freight on the sacks from Calcutta to
San Francisco is not added to the price the
farmer. has to pay. But the blunderhead
who deals out tariff nonsense to his readers
finds nothing better to support this blood
sucking scheme to rob the fanners than his
statement above referred to. As we have
shown before, more than nine-tenths of all
the sacks used on this coast are imported,
. and the duty is just as surely added to the
price which the farmer pays as the original
cot at Calcutta is, and while it appears
that the self-appointed grange editor has
not sufficient mental caliber to comprehend
SO plain a proposition, yet every other man
of ordinary intelligence comprehends the
proposition upon its statement without ar
gument. There is absolutely no reason
for placing a duty on jute or jute sacks,
for jute is not grown in this country, and
not one in ten of tiie sacks used is manu
factured here. Who is protected here by
putting a duty on jute? No one. Who is
protected by putting a 40 per cent, duty on
jute sacks? A small, insignificant jute
factory at Oakland, California, that is run
by Chinese laborers and a few imported
Scotch factory girls. And the dolt that
runs the sheet up the way would tax the
farmers and miners of this coast from six
to eight hundred thousand dollars every
year to protect that measly concern. Bet
ter that the farmers should buy out that
concern at 150 cents on the dollar and then
pension every employee there than pay
this enormous tax. "We deprecate the
selfish spirit that attaches the load of a
political question to the detestable jute sack
that has been foisted upon the Pacific
coast farmer," says the editor up the way.
Oh, indeed! Who loaded it thus? The
leaders whom you blindly follow without
ever asking where you are being led. "The
facts are that it will require the united ef-
fort of all classes, irrespective of political
affinity, to relieve the farmers from the
sack load that lays a tax upon every bushel
of wheat they sell, says this editor that
constantly posing before the public as the
special friend of the farmer. Then, why
do you stand back and refuse to assist to re
move this tax of $40 on every $100 worth
of sacks used by the farmers? Why do
you raise your voice against it when others
attempt to remove this burden? You say
that you want to protect the jute manufact
urer and therefore you want to keep the
duty on. But you have said as stiongly
as your limited use of language will allow,
that this duty is not added to the price of
the sacks. If this is so, is it not possible
for you to see, what all others see, then,
that the duty does not protect the manu
facturer? Is it not possible for you to
understand this plain proposition: That if
the price of sacks are not increased by 1m
posing a duty on Imported ones, t'len the
American manufacturer of such sacks re
ceives no benefit or protection for his busl-
ness by the levying of such duty, and, that
so far as he is concerned, it would make
no difference in his business whether the
duty Is removed or not. Again that paper
says: "We are ready and anxious to for
ward every effort to lighten the burdens
by adopting measures to cheapen the sacks
as long as they stay, which they must do
for some time, and admitting the raw ma'
terial, which is not produced in this coun
try, free, is a step in that direction, but the
throwing down of the barriers and allow
ing a foreign country to govern the prices,
unlimited, is not In that direction but in the
opposite." It is difficult to be patient read
ing such a mess of nonsense. Well, yes, It
will be a step in the direction of making
sacks cheaper by putting the raw material
on the free list, but this cheapness applies
only to such sacks as are manufactured
here, and as not one in ten is manufactured
."iere the high price remains on all the
others, which are imported and made dear
er on account of the duty of (140 on every
$100 worth brought from abroad. Now,
then, here is the most favorable epportunity
ever offered to satisfy the anxiety which
you groan under to make sacks cheap
Just give in your adhesion to the proposal
i to'put sacks on the free list and you will
then be proving your faith by your works
If you are so ready to cheapen sacks why
not propose some way to do It? You
have offered no method or way to uo it.
One of the notable things about the pres
ent campaign is that a large number of col.
orcd voters arc breaking away from their
bondage to the Republican party. It Is
estimated 240,000 colored voters in North"
ern States will vo' e for Cleveland and Th ur
man. Nothing indicates the march of in
telligence more among the race than this
fact.JIt shows that they have risen above the
blind prejudices of the past and are exercis
ing their reasoning powers upon political
affairs.
What utter rubbish it is for Mr. Blaine to
assert that the President of the United
States and a large portion of of its citizens
are engaged in a conspiracy to destroy
the Industries of the country.
