April IL, 1882: .. p
PROTECTION AND PRICES. .-
/ The effect of protection in this ceun-
| try has almost constantly beeh TO reduce
prices to the consumer in manufactured
commodities where our superior ma
chinery, improved processes. our inven-
| tive geuiOus, as well AS the conflict of
competition, all combine to produce that
result. The leading products which
have been naturalized Dy protection,
and which we formerly imported, have
| in vast majority of cases been cheap
ened. In taking the present standard of
| British prices free trade StubbOrnly ig-
nOres the effect of our vast manufacture
| ing competition in that market. Our
enormous production of finished COM
mOdities furnishes healthy rivalry,
though England's manufacturing capac-
| ity is now estimated equal To the work
power of 65O,000,00O men.
Free trade assumes that the duty en-
hances the price of the article To the
amount of the impost. That this as
sumption is false our whole trade history
abundantly proves, and yet without 1t
| the whole free-trade theory fails. When
|
of twenty-five cents per square yard was
laid on cotton fabrics, which was from
so to 100 per cent. the price was lower
within a year, and has never been as
high since. In 1S45 the duty on lead
was So per 100 pounds, and the price WAS
$3.37K per hundred pounds. This duty
was removed in 47,and a revenue duty
fixed; but in 1S49 the price had risen to
S5.67 per hundred pounds, In further
proof of this position 1 read a table
furnished to David A. Wells by 4. T.
Stewart, of New York, both free traders
giving the prices of certain articles un-
der the low tariff of 1850 and the protec-
tive tariff of 1859. The comparison was
made for 1869, but the articles named
are as cheap or cheaper now as at that
time. The prices are gold in 1850 and
greenbacks in 1869. when the premium
was 80 per cent So it will be seen that
prices with tariff duty of so per cent.
are less than those of the free trade year
1850: .-- ...-..
Prices of certain articles under the low tariff
of 1860 and the tariff of 1853.

Johnny ON the POrcupine.

A Porcupine is legged poultry. IL
has auills, but it cannot fly. Its meat Is
a good ways from dogs teeth. Once
our dog Rvsher tried to push his Teeth
into Porcupine that he scared up la
the woods pasture. The Porcupine
spred hisself out, and forgot that he WAS
right in the dogs mouth. But RnSh'r r
did not forget. When he bit on the l'"'-
cupine, he could not forget. He did not
taste the Porcupine at all, as he though
he would. But we had to catch him
and tie rope round his neck to get hun
to let us pull the taste out of his mouth
