LET THERE BE LIGHT.

To the Editor OF The Morristown Gazette:
do not know who your correspondent
Chin Chin may be; but do know he is
not much political economist. He
thinks however like thousands of others,
that the tariff benefits the laborer. ]
must tell him that this is a new. theory.
The only argument of the old protec-
tienists was that labor was so high in
America, that manufacturers could not
exist. The protective tariff was -brought
into existance because labor was high,
not to make il high. 1t was then as il
10 now, in America. No mans bread
and meat depends upon finding work in
a cotton factory or iron mill. If wages
are not to beoarned there, he only has to
turn to the cotton fields of tho South,
where hundreds of thousands of bales
Of cotton rot annually because labor
cannot be found at any price to gather
it. He only has to turn to the great
West, where millions of acres await the
plowman's hand to make them TEEN
forth their hidden treasures. He only
has to turn away from the factory door,
and wages await him everywhere. For
this reason-because in the cid world
the laborer's dependence for wages was
upon manufacturers, who compelled
him to take small wages, and because
the American manufacturer could not
control the price of labor-was com
PEELED to pay as much as the labOrer
could earn on the farm, in the forest
in the mine-the protective tariff was
enacted. With protection on his goods,
the manufacturer could pay the higher
wages. and yet compete with f0reign
goods.
No, no, Mr.. Editor, the tariff was
never intended for the benefit of the
laborer, and never did beuefit him. It's
only effect on him, was, and is, to make
him pay higher price for such protect
ed articles as he is compelled to buy.
The protective tariff is the law of the
capitalist, enacted solely for his benefit
SO far as il benefits persons as indivldu-
ais.
Once more. Chin-Chin's idea Of
European locomotives in the United
Statesl do not believe there is enc
such running ia Al the cauntFy. And
