Newspaper Page TextriEOTEtTP.li KtiKB TKAllEli!'. The following extract Is taken from "Thirty Years' View" In the American senate by Thomas U Benton in comment' Ing on the events of the year 1S32. Vol ume 1, page 271. "It so happened that while the advocates of the 'American System' were calling so earnestly for government protection to enable them to sustain themselves at home that the Custom House books were showing that a great many 6peclei of our manufactuters, and especially the cotton goods, were going abroad to far distant countries, and sustaining themselves on remote theatres against all competition and beyond the range of any help from our laws. Mr Clay himself spoke of these exportation to show the excellence of our fabrics; and that they were worth pio tection; I used the tame face to show that they were Independent of protection, and said: "And here I would ask, how many and which aje the articles that require the present high rate of protection? Certain ly not the cotton manufacturers, for the senator from Kentucky Mr Clay, who ap. pears on this floor as the leading champion of domestic manufrctures, and whose ad missions of facts must be conclusive against his arguments of theory, this sen ator tells you, and dwells upon the dis closure with triumphant exultation, that American cottons are now exported to Asia and sold at a profit In the cotton markets of Canton and Calcutta. Surely, sir, our tariff laws of 1S24 and 1S2S are not In force in Bengal and China, and I apperl to all mankind for the truth of the Infer ence that If our cottons can go to these countries and be sold at a profit without any protection at all they can stay at home and be sold to our own citizens, without loss under a less protection than 50 per centum! One fact Mr President, is said to be worth a bundled thousand theories; I will add that It is worth a hundred thous and speeches; and this fact that the Amer ican cottons now traverse the one-half of the clrcumfurence of thlsg'obe cross the equinoctial line, descend to the Antipodes, seek foreign markets on the double theatre of British and Asiatic competition and come off victorious from the contest, Is a full and overwhelming answer to all the speeches that have been made, or even be made, in favor of high protective duties on these cotton at home. The only ef fect of such duties is to cut off Importa tions to create monopoly at home to enable our manufacturers to sell their goods higher to their own Christian fellow-citizens than to the pagan worship pers of l'o and of Brahma!' To enable the inhabitants of the Ganges and the Br.r rampooter to wear American coltons up on cheaper terms than the inhabitants of the Ohio and Mississippi, and every West, ern citizen knows the fact that when these shipments of American cottons were being made to the extremities of Asia the price of these coltons were actually raised 20 and 25 per cent In all the towns of the west; with the further difierence to our prejudice that we can only pay f..r tnem in money, while the inhabitants of Asia make payment In the products of their own country . "This Is what the gentleman's admission provef ; but I do not come here to argue upon admissions, whether candid or un guarded, of the adverse speakers, I bring my own tacts and proofs; ar.d, really, sir, I have a mind to complain that the gen tleman's admiss'on about cottons has crippled the force of my argument; that it has weakened its effect by letting out half at a time, and destroyed its novelty by an anticipated revelation. The truth is, I ? have this fact (that we exported domestic cottons) treasured up In my magazine of material, and intended to produce it at the proper time to show that we exported this article, not to Canton and Calcutta alone but to all quarters of the globe; not a few cargoes only, by way of experiment, but in great qualities, as a regular trade to the amount of a million and a quarter of dol lars annually ; and that of this amount, no less than $40,000 worth, In the year 1830, had done what the combined fleets and armies of the woi Id could not do; it had scaled the Rock of Gibraltar, penetrated to the heart of the British garrison, taken possession of his Britannic Majesty's soldiers, bound their arms, legs and bodies, and strutted in triumph over the ramparts and batteries of thr.t unattackahle fortrest . And "now, sir, I will use no more of the gentleman's admissions; I will draw upon my own resources, nd will show nearly the whole list of our domestic manufact ures to be In the same flourishing condi tion with cottons, actually going abroad to seek competition, without protection, 1 n every foreign clime, and contending victoriously with foreign manufactures whenever they can encounter them. I read from the Custom House icturns of 1830 the last has been printed. Listen t3 It. "This is the list of domestic miiiiiifiic t.iri's exported to foreign countries. It com prehends tin' whole or nearly Hie whole of that long cutiil.tgutf of itonu. whi'li tM. senator from Ki'iitiu ky, 1 Mr I I, rend to U8 on the si'i'onil il;iy of his ilisumrso; mid shows Hie whole to Ik? piing iibrnad with, put il shallow of amtictitn, to seek conipe Ution in foreign markets, with l!io foreign gooia of nil the world. The list of articles I have read, contain nearly fifty Yaxie!ie of manufacture (and I have omitted many minor articles) amounting in value to near six millions of dollars! And now behold the diversity of human reasoning. The senator from Kentuckey exhibits a list of articles manufactured in the United States, ' and argues that the slightest diminution in the enormous protection they now enjoy will overwhelm the whole in ruin and cover the country with distress. I read the same identical list, to show that all these articles go abroad and contend victoriously with their foreign rivals in all foreign markets." STRONG rOIXIS. Chairman Springer in closing the debate on the wool tariff bill said: "The commit tee on ways and means asked the bureau of statistics to furnish a statement showing prices of wool of like quality in the United States and Europe, during the existence of the wool tariff, from 18G6 to this time. The bureau referred the matter to S N D North, secretary of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, and the special agents of the census office in charge of the wool statistic!. The statement furnished made a comparison between the Ohio medium wash ed wool and the port prices of Australian fleece, which are considered of substantially the same quality. The prices, when re duced to a gold basis, showed that the prices of these portB in London nnd Boston varied little from year to year up to 1890; except during the unusual years of 1871 and 1872, in which the prices were unusually affected by speculation. Leaving these out of account, it appears for the remaining twenty-three years the average price of por Philip fleeco was one-fourth of a cent per pound more than Ohio medium washed in Boston, when Port Philip fleece was 20 cents per pound, nnd if protection protects it would make the price of Ohio wool 20 cents greater. The fact that it is really lower in price than the Australian fleece shows that the American wool-growers do not receive any increase in price by reason of the tariff. The reason for this is that tho American wool minufacturera do not manufacture from American wool exclusively, but mix with foreign wools, cotton, shoddy and other adulterants. "As wool, under tho operation of the tariff, cannot be exported, the American wool-growers are confined to a restricted market. Under these conditions of manu facture foreign and domestic wools are not in competition. They must be used to. ;ether, complementing each other for the manufacture of woolen goods acceptable to this market. With free wool the price of these goods would bo reduced to the extent of the tariff on the foreign wools used in their manufacture. This decrease in price would largely increase the manufacture and ale of such goods, and so increase the de mand for American wools at the lnanufac ories. Ill other words it would cheapen ireign wool by the removal of tho tariff. This benefits not only the wool-grower and woolen manufacturer, but is of advantage to the general public, who are consumers. n conclusion, Springer called attention to the fact that placing raw sugar on the free list in 1800 caused an increased consump tion of sugar to an amount of nearly 24 per cent inl'.ll. and said the passage of the resent bill would have a similar effect in the increased consumption of woolen goods, ind came the starting up of 271 establish ments, which were idle during 1890, and would give employment to $74,000,000 of apital, causing an increase in the use of materials worth 648,000.000, a demand for Gl,000,0O0;pounds of domestic, and 27,000, 000 pounds more of foreign wool, give em ployment to 52,000 hands, with wages ef $18,000,000. With an increased demand the prices of wool and labor will increase." ' E T A 1) VE RT I S E M K N 1 S. "ITTANTF.D A (rirl to do general f T hoiiHtwrU. Call at ato ro o. Conn it Ilendrieo n.
