The following pithy and eXplana-
tory comment, rogardine how inter
ested Senators voted against the tar
if revision is clipped from the Mid
lleton, n. Y. Mercmy: The United
States Senate has voted to keep to the
tariff Of So q thousand on pine lum
ber | shall not attempt to discuss
the advantages Of the tariff here, but
will reproduce portion of the speech
of Mr.. Blanchard, Chicago lumber
dealer, in public meeting, during
which he said | am for high tariff
on lumber but low tariff on salt, cop
per. iron, wool, cotton, leather, glass,
etc. / will tell you why. I own tim
Der lands and sell stumpage; besides
l operate largely myself and this tar
if puts money into my pocket. | get
- per 1000 more for my stumpage.
and 50 per thousand more for my
boards. | have just sold 100000
feet of lumber for $3.50 per 1000
mill run, pretty good price. ( Voices:
'that's SO, that's 500 Well ! think
so too. But for the tariff / should
not have got so much by - per thou
sand. Now - thousand on 5000,
600 feet is just $4,000 dollars. That
is the difference to me in one opera
ton between high tariff and free lum-
Der. am for high tariff on lumber
/ am. This blessed tariff taxation,
they tell us, is all for the benefit of
the American laborer. What do you
suppose | did with the $4,000? Di
vide it among my workmen? Not
bit of it. l put it right into this old
calfskin wallet, l did. OF all my
workmen l am the only protected
American laborer. Wages depend on
supply and demand, my friend and
not on taxes. When you see two men
after one boss, wages are low but
when you see two bosses after one
man wages are high, and tais is the
whole of 1.-THE theory, principal and
practice"
