OP PROTECTION AND ITS EFFECTS AND 'INFLU ENCES THINKS IT IS A CURSE TO THE COUNTRY. (From Sunday's Dally.) Editor Statesman: . t ( . V Protection journals. Including- . the statesman, are wont to speak of the tariff as an infallible oracle direct from the cods.' Or, If not exactly that, at leaiSt as the ripe fruit of long- and pa tient study.--.of some profound sag-e. To It they attribute all the blessings we enjoy, and j without which wa would never have had any .j prosperity, pro gresa, or civilization worth noting. And the wonder, and misfortune of It as well, is thai they make so many of the unthinking - groundlings believe them. ... : Flat on my back in the Salem Hos pital, but. thanks to skillful eurgery, and good . nursing, am neither deatt nor discouraged, and as I have nothing much to do but think, I w ill write down some of my thoughts for the Statesman readers, hqping thereby at least to stimulate' them to doing a little think ing, on this line, for themselves. Thus I may even now do some good. On the south' (the Mediterranean) coast, of Spain, there Is - an - old anti quated town called Tarrifta. On ac count of obstructions,' further out o sea, ships are forced to come clone in shore, o here , about the eleventh eentury, a band of robbers pirates, If Pleaseestabllshed themselves to rob sthe 'peaceful, and unarmed , mer- chantmen as they sailed with goods from the countries in the Eaet to the ports of Spain, France, and other coun tries on the western coast of Europe, and to - the Islands, now , the United Kingdom,- The doctrine of the comity ofr na tions was then not so well understood, or recognised as, now.-A weak Ration wa regarded as" legitimate prey for a strong one. Piracy, regarded as legiti mate, flourished, and woe be to the un lucky merchant ship, helplessly wreck ed on the coast of other peoples. But these savage and unscrupulous pirates soon learned that if thev captured the ships, murdered their luckless crews, and confiscated all their goods, they would soon kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. Thus their avarice lead them instead, to levy a tribute to be paid in silver, gold, or other merchan dlse. This paid, tbi vesiel could pro ceed on her - voyage in safety from these pirates to her destruction, .dis pose of her cargo. Invest the proceeds in the products of a rude and prlma- tive agriculture, and the furs and fish of the ruder trapper, only to be again held up on the return voyage, and compelled to pay another levy. ; And the levy, like Jay Gould's famous rail road scheduled, was probably 'all the traffic would bear.? Of course, where these pirates had all the say, and the merchants no alternative' but to pay. the business soon became quite profita ble, and withal respectable. Merchants in planning their advent ures soon learned to regularly include In their calculations the probable ex actions of these old barbarian pirates. and, we may well imagine, called , it tarrlffa. . ;, - t. Now, I let us stop long enough here to think a thought or two. , I will not so impugn the intelligence of any, pro tectionist as to presume that he would for a moment dispute the proposition that the- Oriental merchant added the legitimate cost of the voyage to the original cost of hVs goods: and that. when he sold them with this added cost, as a genet at rule, the consumer hadjto pay it- I think this will not be disputed. . Supposing this legitimate, cost to be 50 per cent of the original cost, a cargo of goods costing $100,000 at port of de barkfttlon would cost $150,000 at a port on the west of Europe. And the mer chant's profits gauged on the latter figure. 1 - : : . l-" : . ; So far all agree; but now comes an other cost this tribute to these pirates this "tarriffa'jsay another $50,000. Most not that be added to the original cost also? If not why not? If added to the cost, and consequently to the price, did riot, in the lact analysis, the con sumer have this "tarrlffa', to pay also,' Just as we all admit, he had to pay the legitimate costs of ; the . voyage? By what rule of logic can we conclude that the consumer paiT one charge, 'and the merchant the other? I think all of your Intelligent readers will freely admit that the consumer,' as a general rule paid "this "tarrlffa," ex acted by, these old pirates, as surely as he paid the legitimate costs of the voyage. Suppose that Instead of these old pirates "tarriffa' there had been an obstruction In the channel increasing the legitimate cost of the voyage Just the same say 60 per cent would not the consumer have had to pay thar? Certainly. Then'waa not, this old pi ratical ''tarriffa"'a burden, an obstruc tion, a hindrance to commerce? Yet, notwithstanding this burden, we can well Imagine that trade increased somewhat, and some : degree of pros- perity and progress obtained in west ern Europe;' and what can we think of the intellectual ' caliber of that man who would affirm that this piratical "tarriffa" waa the source, the fountain, the cause, from which such progress and prosperity flowed? Whatever the measure of these they came in the gen eral enlightenment of the world and In spite of piracy and "tarriffa. But these .old pirates were not always to enjoy this advantage. The Impecuni ous kings of Spain discovered that they might by this means replenish their exhausted treasuries. So they ousted the Old pirates and installed themselves as the only legitimate pirates. Natur ally Che custom was extended to; other parts, and to other countries of Europe, snd to the E islands to the west, from whence It was imported to America, j Probably to hide from bur too-confiding peopla its infamous, piratical ort g.n. we have suppressed one r ana dropped the final a, and- call It aim ply '"tarisr, That our people may not. even susrect Its unavoidable injustice,1 and iniquitous. favoritism, we no long er rightfully designate it as a '"rob ber tarinr" or ar -piratical tariff;. Ibut to facilitate its easy passage down the gullets of the gudgeons, we substl-) tute and prosOtute one ' of the moat tender -words of : our mother , tongue, ' "protection, and falsely call It a "pro- i tective tariff"!! . Then exalting it a of ! celestial origin, we call, on all to wor ship It as a divinity to be approached only on bended knee, and-with uncov ered heada'l! . V ; ' . But time and events unmistakably show- that '"protection generally pro tects only the producing capitalist 1 not one in a hundred of our people, and who needs no . protection by giving bim a free hand to plunder at will. the other, ninety-nine, poorer, of ten very poor, consumers, for whom it provides no protection, not even from the mer ciless rapacity of this protected capit alist.' And why is this 00? Because protection takes no note of consumers. For whoever heard of a- protective tar iff schedule designed and framed to protect consumers? That would be an unheard of anomaly a reversal of pro tection. For that "might protect all our people alike, by giving all; equul fa vors;, and that as not the purpose 01 protection. Necessarily Its purpose is to favor the fewj not the many. For can some be given special favors where all have the aame favors? A contradic tion! An equitable protecive tariff is also a contradiction, and aj impossi bility! . v - r A greatstrike n the 'anthracite coal fields brings to .light an hitherto un suspected fact: : The great coal barons had secured a duty of 6? cents per ton onWhelr .products nnder pretense, of ccurse. that that aum was necessary to compensate them for the difference be tween the American wages they Were compelled to pay their well-paid Amer ican operators for mining 'a ton of coal, and that paid the pauperopera tlves of England. Now, another fact appears. The miners in their petition to thesa same coal barons asked that the .wage for mining a ton of coal be 0t.redUS2d below r cents a ton 7 cents less than theduty secured under pretence that it was only the difference in the wages here and there! Drunk with , the unrestrained power and wealth of special favors, these pluto cratic barons, with a haughty ar- rogance unknown in America since' the days of - the slave oligarchy, refused this moet Just petition, of the miners. and flourished that refusal in face of the President of the republic. "It was sneaked Into the law," says a cabinet officer. No, not so. -It was put in the law on motion of Senator Allison, a protection Senator. ' backed ; by a solid Republican majority, over the earnest protest of Senator Alen,HEf Nebraska, a Populist, backed by a solid, Democratic minority. l: 1 ' Yet we are now gravely told that no Populist or Democratic hand must v be permitted to profane this long sanctl fled instrument. If the present tariff must be revised revised mind you, not reformed It must be revised by Its friends the friends and exponents "- of the present lawli who, for a purpose and deliberately, ; framed into It its multiplied iniquitous piracies, of which the coal schedule is but one the cham pions and High Priests of protection St. Piatt, St. Quay, St. Hanna, and St. Simon.
