CAPITAL AND LABOR.

Mr.. Finkelnburg, Of Missouri, u
member Of the Committee of Ways
and Means, and gentleman who has
given great thought to the abstract
side of the industrial questions, of the
time, has recently been pricking the
protectionist lmposlhume upon its raw
est and tenderest part-that which
claims that n protective tariff is for
the benefit of the laboring classes.
Wages, he showed, are the product
of the sum Of active capital divided by
labor, and their rate depends upon the
proportion between this capital and
the number Of hands seeking work.
II, then, the active capital have more
employment than it can find laborers
TO discharge, wages will be high. If
work be scant and laborers many,
wages will be low. Protection, by
adding to prices, makes the use for
active capital fewer; consequently, its
profits must be proportional ely increa-
scd, or it will be diverted into other
channels where ii can be made to pay
better. Hence, protection tends con
stantly to reduce wages. Thus, peo-
pie will Use much less muslin at SIX
teen cents yard than they would at
eight cents Il yard; hence, tariff that
comptlS muslin to be sold at sixteen
cents, compels the manufactures to
produce less; this constrains him at
once to employ fewer hands, and to
pay those fewer less wages, in order
to pay the same interest for the hire
of his capital, which he canuot reduce.
Therefore, Il tariff which forces muslin
to be sold at higher prices, reduces
both the number Of hands who can
find work in that manufacture, and the
pro roto Of wages to be divided a
mongSt them.
Mr.. Finkemburg substantiated his
position by IN array of facts and fig
ures from the report of the Massachus
ettS Bureau Of Statistice and Labor,
going to show that the factory opera
tives of New England were reduced
to comparative poverty since the tariff
went into operation, many Of them
being in debt, and very few able to
lay by anything for rainy day. At
the same time, he showed that the
factories were paying annual dividends
of from sixteen to twenty-SiX per cent,
These same operatives are the very
ones who, under former lower tariffs,
were the pride and glory of the coun-
try, What change to-day from the
time when nearly every girl in New
England went to Il factory to lay by
dowry for herself against her wedding
day. Mr.. Finkelnburg showed, in
this connection, that while our opera,
tives We're getting poorer under the
protective system, the laborers of Eng
land were every day more prosperous
with free trade; and that wages were
higher to day in that country, and la
Dor more constantly and variously en-
ployed than at any previous era in her
history

A scheme looking to the resump-
ton of specie payment is proposed in
bill intarduced in the House of Rep
resentatives by Mr.. McCRARY of Iowa.
The Secretary of the Treasury is to be
directed to withdraw from circulation
rs soon as practicable the fractional
paper currency now III use, and to sup
ply its place with silver coin of ike
denominations. TO carry out the
provisions of this act the bill authori-
yes the Secretary to purchase coin or
bullion, and to make other necessary
arrangements. OF course, this new
circulating medium would have to be
debased to a level with the existing
paper currency to keep it from finding
its way to the melting pot. Whether
it would be Of any use on such terms
is doubtful.
