And now the wOrklngmen OF Pittsburgh,
the seat of the great iron and glass factories
of the country, are in trouble. They arc out
Of work out of money and out OF food. Inc
tariff, which was supposed TO protect the
American laborer," has entirely failed 10 do
so, and he is obliged with his family to be
come pauperS, and to ask aid of the city. The
extra profit which the tariff puts into the
pockets Of the capitalists is never shared
among the w0rkmen. At the hrst sign OF q
crash. the "shop is closed" and the capital
is- rctrcs TO ruminate on his dividend and
Surplus, while the workman and his family
beg or starvc--EF.
But for the tariff, which has put an artiti
cial price upon iron and all the products OF
iron, the I. S. would now have control of the
market of the world for steel and iron, and
all the endless articles of which they are the
raw material. Even with the enhanced price
caused by the tariff, the iron Of this country
is brought occasionally into competition with
the untaxed iron of England and Scotland
Suppose the Pittsburg iron manufacturers
were relieved of this tariff oppression and hao
the world for market instead of the homo
market to which they are now confined, would
the l&borcr then be out of work, out OF money
and out of food? It is doubtless more profit
able forthe iron lords of Pennsylvania to sup
ply limited deRand at monopoly profits
than TO supply large demand at tire prices
outside competition would give them but tho
interest of the workingmen is TO manufacture
for the whole world instead Of little corner
of il, for the price of labor, like every Other
article, is regulated by the extent Of the de
mand for it.
