his produce $400 instead of 5000. This is
clear for we know that the scarcity of
commodity increases the price, and that the
scarcity depends upon the number of pro-
ducers. But again If the value of the
productions of the soil increase in value, it
follows as a matter of course that the soil
itself must increase in proportion, for it is
the value or price of produce that gives the
value TO the soil. Now suppose that each
of these eight persons own $50 acres of
land valued at $5 per acre under the tariff of
20 per cent, the increase in the price of pro-
duce of 33s per cent will then raise the
price of his land from $500 to $l066 66 cts,
making gain of $266 66-l00 upon his land;
now we have gain upon his produce of
$l00 upon his land of 1886 66 cts.-equal
to $366 GO cts, caused by the extra duty of
30 per cent, while his extra expenses under
this increase OF duty will be only $l5 and
thereby leaving clear gain of 1921 66 cts.

tages from market created at home for pro-
duce. Now try this farmers, and see if
you can figure it out otherwise, or by any
metaphysical or logical reasoning make it un-
just, when you see that the Manufacturer
is protected against the pauper labor Of
Europe, and you yourselves benefited by
it. But the Democratic party contend that
such protection would diminish the ma
tional revenue.
This can not be so, for It's plain that the
more monies we receive the more we will
hare. They tell US tha: arevenue tariff will
create foreign market for our products
Let us see how far the Democratic revenue

The truth is that Great Britain will only

see that whilst our own manufacturers anC
