Ihe JUDGE Is as careless IN ms statements
as ne is IN his personalities. It's not true
that all the increase in the tariffs was in
consequence of the internal revenue
Only one tariff added five per cent. to the
duties from this motive The last in
crease, only about year ago, gave to- the
tarln It's worst feature, and the, internal
revenue tax formed no part of the reason
for that act. lE.io1 2hJ -1 Ht9Jo" 97oi1
Consider one moment, however, Judge
helly's reasoning! An internal revenue
tax OF st1 per cent In greenbecks necessi7
tates tariH tax OF from thirty TO over hfty
per cent. In goio! FOR one dollar taken
from tne IN paper, some SIX are
taken from US IN goid: Is not TINS beautiful
reasonlnS! is anything like this done for
any body else '' H
"a lalr Gays wages for a falr days work" "
says the Judge, and laborers are takin z
him at MS word: They strike for. eight
hours, and hve dollars day. How now,
Judge! You admit the duty and power of
Congress in this matter, but deny it the
moment the laborer wants his share in black
and white, as the factory lord has his in the
tariff. A protective tariff without provis-
ion for the laoorer, is pitfall and a snare
for the latter. Ihe protection is granted
under the pretense of aiding the laborer,
while, IN reality, 1t only protects capital
The statistics L nave furnished place this
matter in its true light. They prove it is
| not the laborer who gets any special bene-
| fit from tariffs. s.r.. ..a.l -fF g.. .t.E
| hold in my hand the monthly report of
the Director of the Bureau of Statistics
from washington, and in it is list OF
wages for JaH manner of labor in the vari-
GUS States OF this Union. and have care
fully examined it. state here that the
price of labor is in very few instances
higher in New England, and very seldom,
indeed, in the branches of manufacture,
specially protected. The highest aodges are
almost Invariably paid in the uRprotected West
High wages tor labor are the. result of a
greater demand for labor than the supply,
| No tariff can secure high wages. The
rope have the lowest wages. Compare, as
proof of this. England with Austria, OF
France with Russia. Every reduction i'm
protective duties has bettered the condition
of the laborers in Europe. The statis-
tieians of Europe, Gueiclet, Lavergne,
Michaelis, &C., prove this beyond the pos
sibility of dispute. .- =
! What the Judge SAYS about Ohio wool |
can't understand. said nothing upon this
subject. L ONLY know that wool manufac-
lures are four times higher protected I'M the
tariff thanrwool itself and, the reason for
this is that Congress is under New England
Influences, who want cheap raw material.
am for free-trade in wool and in wool
manufactures, too. Leave Ohio free to
manufacture her wool or to sell it.
What contrasts the Judge drew between
laborers in Europe and those in America /
know not, but I. do know that it is fabri-
cation out of the whole cloth when he
speaks of children being taken from
school, in Europe, at the tender age OF
eight years, and being put in competition
with their own parents" l know Europe
well. and pronounce this to be miserable
slander upon her people. The reverse is
true, for | know that compulsory school
attendance is the law of Europe in far more
places than it is in. America. xttlE 40
If it is true, as the Judge says, that Amer
lean watches are superior, and can be
boughtas cheap as European, and if Amer
lean cutlery is purchaseable as low, and is
as good as foreign, then l can only ask,
why. protect them? All such assertions
are simply poor, miserable balderdash
thrown in to excite pre- judice and to appeal
to patriotic feelings. Nobody doubt:
