but the average relative compensation Of The
two periods will lie the same rs of the occu-
pauons above enumernlAd. s..
This table fully sustafns my @fundaneutaln
assertion. No employment it will be seen, shows
decrease Of compensation but all On increase
varying from u per cent. to 50 per cent, and
averaging In the aggregate about @ per cent,
lhe advance In wages ~ d whoic, is not equal
to the advance ofagriculturn1 products, but it
Wla 3nst about equal the Eise in the price Of
all protected" goods manufactured In this
country In competition with imported articles.
ard this Is NATURAL result seeing that the
Tnluc Of manufactures Is measured f5y the cost
OF making them, and that cost consists mostly
oi mechanics labor. The other items that en-
ter into the selling price are, the Government

fundamental proposition, viz: s'That an In

responding ratfo with the increase to the
" consumer Of the protected goods" Hence,

Our Western farmers are complaining lust
now Of the enormous cost OF Transporting
their products TO market. There are two
ways OF curing this evil, md both must be
employed frEt, improve the great natural !
channels OF commerce with the manufuctur-
Ing Easl, and thereby cheaper trausporia.
ton; second, bring the consumers Of food
into the West, by establishing more man
nfactorfes among our farmers. The mil
lions Of Eastern artlsans Including their
families, arc paying high prices for nll i
they eat md drink. If they could procure
cheaper food they would be able to produce |
cheaper goods. The tariff that the farmers
need to have reduced Is not the "proteetiye',
dulles on European merchandise but the mer.
cilcss freight tariff between the Mississippi
valley, that produces the bread snd meat. aud
The seaboald cities, which consume them, A
freight tariff that charges three bushels OF
grain to deliver the fourth to the Eastern
manufacturer, rohs both the man who eats
the grain and the man who raises It. There:
fore, let us all labor TO cheaper tho cost Of
transTortntion, and multiply manufactures in 4
the Nest-rathcr than In England and France,
for thereby the West Will obtain the true and
genuine FREE trade It needs 80 badly but relief
