The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1886-02-20

The secretary OF the Wool Manufactur-
ers Association in his annual report in
1880, says:
THE present year affords rs the first
opportunity for many years OF making an
exact comparison with the prices of 1860,
since our Currency is Of the same value
rs IT that period
Those most familiar with the markets
estimate that ordinary wooden goods,
constituting the great bulk of consump
non, are now obtained BY consumers
from I2l2 to IS per cent less than goods
ct the same quality could be purchased
before the war To be more specific, in
grain carpets, the principal article of con-
sumption in this class, was sold at II %
per cent. more in April, 1860, than in
April, 1879, with wool about the same,
but an increased cost of labor in the same
period. | am authorized to state that
dress goods selling in 1860 for 20 cents
per ward are now, in 1880, selling for X
cents per yard saving of 3 per cent. :;
that the saving to American consumers
in the product of five mills in New Eng
land making dress goods of an annual
value of $4,000, 900, is s., 500, 900, and
this too with higher prices of wool to the
farmer and better wages to the opera,
tives."
Since 1880 the reduction has been in a
still greater proportion.
REDUCTION IN COTTON GOODS.
So much for the effect Of protective
tariff on the prices of wooden goods.
Now let US see how the prices of cotton
goods have been affected Here are the
figures, those for 1860 being the average
prices per yard for that year and those
for 1884 being the average prices per
yard for March, 1884

it is claimed has been robbing the peo-
pie, and especially the farmers, has in
fact brought to all classes, farmers in par
ticular, an era of unprecedented growth
and prosperity.
INCREASE OF FARM PROPERTY.
The same business principles apply to
farmers that apply to other business men.
If a merchant or manufacturer finds his
capital increasing, his wares in larger de-
mand, prices improved, and his trade gen
orally remunerative, he is satisfied. He
knows that he is making money. and is
on the safe road that leads to comfort and
independence. If farmer can see his
farm charging. his tiIlable acres increas-
ed, his land yearly growing more valua-
bic, the prices of his produce gong up
in short his income growing larger and
his expenses growing smaller, he should
be satisfied, and favor a continuance of
the conditions that are bringing him pros
perity. Now let US see what progress the
agricultural interests of the country have
made under the protective tariff that has
been in effect since 1901. We give the
official figures from the census reports:
1860 AND 1880 CC,IPARED.
The increase in farms and farm areas
from 1860 to 1880 is as follows:
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1886-02-20

We omit the fractions OF cent where
they occur in the tables.
The butter production Of farms, as re
ported by the census of 1860, was 49,,
6oI.3=2 pounds. Inclusive OF that, not
entering into the farm enumeration, the
entire product of the United States was
about 500 ooo, COO pounds In 1880 the
amount returned from farms and factor
les was 7g4 81, o7I The total product OF
he country was about 900, 900, 900
pounds.
The average price of butter exported in
800 was IS cents. As only the poorer
qualities were exported the average farm
price Is 4 little higher than the seabOard
price of export butter and | estimate it
at 10 cents. The range of recent prices
is from to 70 on the farm, with much
higher rates for 4 small quantity of gilt
edged" samples, yet the average is still
low. but Is not less than Il cents for 1880
aud - cents tor 1882.
The export price in these years respeC-
lively was II and IS cents per pound
As rule prices of butter are much
higher in recent years than twenty-five
wears ago. Cheese is now about 10 per
cent higher, as an average.
Again, Mr. Chairman, | invite the
closest examination of the figures | have
presented, and they prove, sir, an enor-
nous increase in our farm production and
an advancement of price.
Persons who have not taken the pains
to look M the reports as to the compare
tive prices of the farmers products now
with those paid years ago, will be aston
ished at the figures. The New York
Herald, not long since, gave table com
piled from authentic reports, showing
the increase in the prices of farm products
in the interior of that state from 1916 to
1882. We quote the Herald's figures
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1886-02-20

census shows that there has been an IN
crease beyond all precedent in value of all
of the products of the farmers OF this
country during this period OF protection.
Everything produ ed on the farm has on
the average incre ,ed in value through
out the length and breadth of the land
under the principle of protection.
THE FARMERS EXPENSES.
So II appears that under the operations
of protective tariff the farmers income
has greatly increased by the enhanced
value of his productions. Now how about
his expenses Have they increased in the
same ratio, If they have then his net in
come, or profits, have not been enlarged,
and the general result shows no improve
ment in mis- condition. On this point we
submit a few figures that prove indisputa-
bly, that nearly every article that the
farmer has to purchase, whether for use
on his farm or consum ption in his family,
is very much cheaper now than before
protective laws were put in force. Men
of 40 years of age or over can remember
as to prevailing prices before and since
the enactment OF protective laws, and so
can bear witness to the correctness OF the
figures given.
REDUCTION IN IRON.
Let US first take iron. lion in its
thousands of manufactured forms is
commodity of universal use, and the
price of iron affects nearly all values
Under protection everything made in
whole or in large part of steel or iron has
been reduced in price. Take any article
YOU please from pick to locomotive,
or from a coffee mill to a threshing ma
chine, and trace its history and you will
find this statement true. Pig iron has
been reduced in price from $1,000 per
ton from 1850 to 1860, to SI7.oo per ton
in 1882 Steel rails reduced in price from
more than 500 per ton in 1864, to
$50 per ton in 1884, and the
tariff on them was $500 per ton. How
plainly this shows that the amount of the
tariff is not necessarily added to the price
Of the article to the consumer. The fact
is, that the tariff encouraged the building
of rolling mills, and then the competi-
ton reduced the price of rails. A most
natural and universal result.
Nails, axes, saws, cutlery, hardware,
tools of all kinds, reapers, mowers, drills,
plows, all farming implements are much
cheaper now than they were before the
protective tariff of 1861 went into effect.
The reason is that the tariff offered
protection to manufacturers until large
numbers of them became established and
then the close competition lowered prices.
Had there been no tariff the manufactures
would have remained as high as before.
REDUCTION IN woOLEN GOODS.
Now let us look at wooden and cotton
goods, the purchase of which for family
wear and household use, involves one of
the heaviest expenditures of every family.
Wooden blankets have been reduced in
price since 1860 nearly one-half The
same is true of flannels, cassimeres, sack
ing, shawIs, carpets, etc. In the entire
range of woolens used for wear by men and
women the reduction has been from 80 to
90 per cent. The largest mill for the
manufacture of these goods in the country
the Pacific Mils--reports the following
prices for 10 years:
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1886-02-20
A GENERAL REDUCTION.

We could quote many more tables OF
figures showing the same result, would
not this article grow too long. Boots and
shoes, crockery, glass, we might safely
say all the articles Of common use on the
farm or in the house, tools, machinery
wearing apparel, bedding, etc, have been
largely reduced in price since the ''pro-
lection" theory has prevailed in our Iegis-
lation Tea, coffee and sugar are the
principal articles of food that the farmer
has to buy. There is no duty on tea and
coffee, and notwithstanding the taz on

builds up manufactures, increases the de-
mand for and so enhances the prices of
farm products, and cheapens manufactur-
ed articles by creating competition.
\ HOME MARKET WANTED.
Three words tell the whole storv--..A
Home Market" This is what the farmer
needs. This is what he must have if he
shall reach the highest artainabIe degree
OF prosperity. Give him this. and ample
returns will forever wait upon his toll.
y home market means not only fair prices
for his wheat, corn, oats, beet, butter, wool,
the leading products of his farm, but for
all the minor products as well, eggs.
poultry, vegetables, and other items that
go to swell his income, and that give him
the largest margin Of profits.
We have shown that there is a heavy
duty on farm products, on wheat. oats.
corn, barley rye, wool, butter. cheese.
beet, pork, etc. But the unthinkins far
mer may say he does not ask this duty,
that he does not need protection. Let
him not be too sure of this. 1t is a safe
prediction that at no distant day. he too.
will call upon the government to save
him from the competition of pauper labor
in foreign lands. Already he is feeling
the effects of such competition The low
price OF wheat to-day is largely attribu ia
bic to the light demand for it in England
The demand is lighter than heretofore be-
cause she is getting increased supplies
from new sources, and does not depend
so fully as formerly upon America. In
dia, Australia and Russia are yearly OPEN
ing vast sections to the growing of wheat.
Southern Russia, embracing an empire of
territory in its extent, is the richest of
prairie land, as fertile as the wheat fields
Of Wisconsin or Dakota. All they need
there is improved machinery and railroad
facilities, and the Russian government is
now working to secure these, to make the
raising of wheat a leading industry. La
Dor is employed at starvation prices, and
wheat can be raised there much more
cheaply than in the United States. The
same is true of India.
India alone has increased her exports
of wheat enormously in the last four wears.
In 1880 she exported 4 oop,oJo bushels;
