The Worst of Humbugs.

Allen c. Thurman's Speech at Toledo.
 There are men audacious enough tosay-men who are advocating high protective duties or tariifs--there are men audaeinus enough to say that 8 nigh protective tariti is for the benefit of the laboring man. Why. in the name of all that IS com mon sense and reason, how can 8 laboring man be aided by tax that begins with the crown of his head and extends to the soles of his feet, and tax everything that is between thems-that taxes him on his hat, taxes him on his shirts, taxes him on hls coat, taxes him on his vest, taxes him on his pants, taxes him on his stockings and taxes him on his shoes; and even the little necktie that is around his neck, it leyies its tax upon it. How in the name of heaven, can it be that the Iaboring man Is benefited by such :axS No, my friends. of all the humbngs by which men were attempted to be de ceived this humbug of the laboring man being benefited by high pro tective tariff is the worst and most transparent.
The Russellville Democrat., 1888-09-06

IT is contended that the tariff does not protect the laborers and for this
 reason: Taken as a whole the aver
 age tax imposed on over 4,000 arti. cles is forty seven per cent, accord ing to value. On all the necessaries of life that the laborer has to buy,
 such as coal, salt, wooden goods, glassware, crockery, etc, he is com
 pelled to pay this tax. Now, the tariff law simply says to the manu- facturer that he shall have the bene-
 fit Of this tax, that he may add it to the price of the product he manu- factures. The tariff law does not compel him to pay any portion of it to the laborer. The tariff law per mits him to add the amount of the
 tax on his product to hIs profits, but it leaves the laborer to shift for hIm- self and the protected manufacturer to hire his labor as he can. If the tariff law compelled the man ufactur. CT to pay fair wages, wages in pro- portion to the protection he receives, or compelled him to pay his em- ployes certain part of the tariff tax that protects the manufacturer, then the laborer would get some benefit of protective tariff. But 1t does no such thing. Any tariff law that gives the profits of protection to the manufacturer. and leaves him the privilege of hiring his labor as he pleases and as cheap as he pleases, can not and does not in the least protect labor The division of profit between the laborer and manufactu- Ter goes on under the tariff law upon the same principle as the white man and the Indian to divide their game. Said the white man "Ill take the tur- key and you the crow, or you take the crow and I'll take the turkey"

Breckinridge furnished an exhibt based on actu al transactions between Mr. R. M. Knox, merchant, of Pine Bluff, Ark, and Mr. D. ". Branch, 2 farmer. who bought the goods Mir. Breckinridge explains that @this is calculated up ou the basis Of copy from the books of MT. Knox, and upon the rates of taxes actually paid upon competing articles st the ports and as provided by law We subjosn the bill ss ap bearing on Mfr. Knox's books:

Total al..........-. SlDf.5O $33.oO As the statement shows, of $l01.- 50, the amount of the purchases, the tariff represented s33.80. In other words, MT. Branch paid sl0l.50 for goods that, but for our high protect i've tariff would have cost him $67.70. This vas his enforced contribution to the system which the republican national platform demands, shall be still further strengthened by earring the duty to point that will ''check imports" of articles manufactured in this country. This tariff of 33.S0 paid on s6770 worth of goods amounts to 46 92100 per cent on the actual value of the goods.
 Examination of the bill, to which
 Mr. Breekinridge added the tariff on each item as found in the law, will show Mr. Branch's purchases to have been of the ordinary character need ed for farm and family. They rep resent the kind of purchases the far mers of Arkansas usually make; and the "object lesson" the totals furnish will prove more convincing to per sons not having time to study this question for themselves than volumes of argument. There IS the article. There is the price paid the mer chant. And there is the subsidy forced from the farmer or other con sumer, for the benefit of the protect ed manufactures, who by such spec ial legislation are rapidly transform ed into millionaires, while our farm CTS, though toiling early and late, find it difficult to keep from under the shadow of the dreaded mortgage.
 In return for this enforced contri- button the farmer receives-nothing. Of our exports agriculture furnishes about 80 per cent. But the price of the farmers cotton, wheat and other articles of export are regulated by the European market, and as pro ducer he is compelled to compete with the cheapest labor ID the old world. While the manufacturers de. mand and receive Legislative pro tection" against the so-called "pau per labor of the old world, the farmer who pays the manufacturer an aver age tax of nearly 50 per cent more than he would pay but for thls legis latiye protection, must complete sue cessfully with this same "pauper Ia Dor" or go to the wall.
 The bill of goods Mir. BreckInridge uses represents one of the methods by which the republican party pro. poses to make tue people rich and happy through heavy taxation. It direc.ly antagonizes the democratic proposition to benefit the people by enabling them to keep in their own pockets large proportion of the money now wrested from them by the tariff subsidy.
