1Aid day or two ago in reference 70 I
che business outlook, that IL would bel
o great benefit 10 the country and tol
man afActueers especially II Congress |
would defalteiy settle the agitation on |
protection. by Affirming either a free
trade or protective policy. and ID mat |
tered very little 10 the manufactures |
which. The only Inconvenience, II .
free- Tade policy vas adopted, would be |
In getting down 70 that basis, bat once |
getting there the PROFITS from manufAc-
surtng would be equal to what they DOW
are under Agisated protection. OF course
he preferred protection, because that
was now she basis OF manufacturing,
and he much preferred going along In
thas channel without interruption
But here is . point OF the greatest
importance 10 working men in this
contemplated change. This gentlem an
had no hes;tasioa in saying tha: by
coming dom 70 q fres- trade basis
where the profits Of manufacturing
would be curtAiled, manufacturing
could only be made prof able by q re-
ducgion Of the price Of labor also 70 .
free trade standard.
This practically brings manuf8c.ur-
lag nj the wages Of those employed in
mAnufac uTing dom % the freo-;r.de
level of England. The manufacturer
here wonld have the same proEss the
msnufsc.ar,r in EngiaGd xoald have,
and l1bor wonl1 hsve the came wages
IL has In K1giAni. Thai is all there
would Be in the case TIE lsoOrer
would have no good reason 20 complain
either, II she coat Of living wss redueed
in the came ra!io. and here ve woald
remark .hst tree-trade z3vo sA,es N ain
tain that the cos: OF living would be re-
dRced. Suppose this to be 50, then
Who 10 10 safer? Most assnredly those
who raise produce for the toiling mil.
Hons. The farmers who have paid hi al
prices for their lands aad the rem EZRA
who pay high rents for them would be
che sufferers.
But We venture 70 asssr. tha. ;his
claim that the cost Of living would be
reduced IL fres-trAds was established IL
del1siop. The COS. OF living in this
oounsry ia IS loE nov as in EagiAnd.
Whea, and breadssnffs are IS cheap ia
New York and Pailsdelphi IS IN Lou
don and liverpool, and the same may
be said OF clothing. A reduction can
mot be NJ sde here without cutting away
below English prices. How can this
be done? How is il possible for farmers
% raise wheat for less than ninety oents
q bushel, or ko~ can corn be raised for
lens than forty cents?
No, says the geniismsn 10 whom Ne
