challenge contradiction to this point, that eve
nv manufactured article which has been long
subject to the steady influence Of Protection,
has been reduced IN price to the consumer
Why should not this be the caseS Does not
Protection give activity TO the manufacturing
industry, and largely increase the supply OF
fabricss and il it not universal law Of trade,
that increased supplies cheaper the commod-
tiess
The Tariff not only cheapens the cloth we
wear, and the utensils we use, &c., but advan-
ces the price of labor. In the revival Of busi-
ness which followed the passage of the Tariff
act of 1912, the aborer and mechanic were a.
mong the first 10 be benefited. What me-
chanic does not well recolIect the state Of things
that existed during the year 1912, and prior
thereto.
The factories were still and the workshops
idle and when employment was obtained, it
was in most cases Tor low wages, and he re-
ceived his pay in some barter trade.
How is It now, All kinds Of labor are in
demand; prices Of labor have advanced full
90 per cent. over those OF 1912, and they get
ready cash. A measure so full Of benefit and
blessings to the laboring man, cannot and
will not oppose. ] am myself MECHANIC,
and know how to appreciate those things.
The Tariff policy has been sustained sue
cessively by Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson
Mr. Jefferson, with that far-seeing sagacity
which characterzes all his acts, said that he
wished that the Atlantic and the Lakes were
so wide that il would prevent importation OF
foreign goods. Gen. Jackson, in 1924, said il
was slime we should become a little more
Americanized, and instead Of feeding the pau
pers and laborers of England, feed our own; or
else in short time, by continuing our present
policy, we should be paupers ourselves.''
The farmers participate as largely in the
benefit of the tariff policy as any portion Of the
community. cannot express my sentiments
on this subject better than TO use the language
| Gen. Jackson used, in the same letter have
quoted from above; 81 will ask what is the real
situation Of the agriculturalist! Except for
cotton, he has neither foreign nor home mar
ket. Does not this clearly prove, when there
is no market, either at home or abroad, there
is too much labor employed in agricultural
Common sense at once points out the remedy.
Take from the agriculture Of the United States
10000 Of men women, and children, and you
will at once give market for more bread
stuffs than all Europe now furnishes"
