The following tariff talk is taken
from the Surrey, an. J.) Register.
Many people insist that the tariff bene-
fits only the industries protected and
the laborers employed therein. Let
such persons read this tariff talk. 1t
may set some of them right;
"a large mandatory is being
erected in Philadelphia. There will be
about 5000 persons employed. in it,
Necessarily steam power will be largely
used, requiring many boilers Of great
size. Naturally there is great COMPETE
ton to supply these. Bids have been
received from Manchester, N. H.;
Taunton, Mass; New Haven, Conn. /;
Syracuse, N. "; marlborough and
Scranton, Pa. and Salem, Ohio. These
establishments must perforce employ
thousands Of workmen.
"For, if bid be accepted, the boilers
must be supplied within 100 days.
Then 1t must be considered that other
work is being done, and that other bids
are out and liable to be accepted. So
acres OF ground are covered by the
buildings and the capabilities of the
plants are vast. A stranger viewing
any one of them would say: This is
no infant industry. This requires no
protection. 1t can hold its own with
any
"But there is tariff of 20 per cent.
to enable it to hold its own against the
foreign manufacturer. That tariff is
80 essential that in the competition re-
ferred to above the Salem Ohio bid
der secured il by but $40 under the bid
of Liverpool (England) competitor.
''The successful bid was for 81 large
boilers, set in place for $12S,00O.
''The English company would make
the boilers, transport them across the
ocean, land them, pay the duty, haul
to factory and set in brick for $40 more
than the cheapest American competitor
would do it.
"a $40 bill, a 81 bill and a duty Of
% per cent. were all that saved this
contract Of $l3S, 900 to America.
"But some free trader will say:
That is only Of interest to boiler
Makers
"Is it, though?
"The successful Salem bidders EN-
ploy 5000 hands. These are going to
get their share of this $685. 900; and
when they get it they are going to
spend it in the products Of fellow
Americans-anything you might
name within their requirements.
"To keep those 5000 at work in
Salem there are 5000 at work in Parks
Brothers Bessemer works at Pittsburg,
supplying them with steel. They will
get their share and divide it among the
rest of us.
"Our individual share might be
pretty small, but it is infinitely greater
thanit would be if the English firm
had secured the contract.
whether our share be great OF
small, there is in that one contract
work for 1000 able bodied men Ia
whole regiment), at So per day, for 6S
days, 900 multiplied by SO equals
$4,000. multiplied by 90 equals
| $13s, 900.
THAT is what we vote for, and since
it is such close shaving-only $40 on
such large contract--your Uncle
Zek'l thinks with the successful agent,
that the tariff had better be put up a
little, say to 40 per cent.

years after, when Edwin Forrest got into
trouble with his wife, the latter went on the

Restriction of Immigration

The Congressional Committee engaged
in investigating immigration abuses has

such abuses exist. 10 make 1t desirable to
have the whole story unearthed with the
purpose OF applying a remedy. What form
that should take it is not easy to say. The
immigration OF honest, Woodworking
people TO places whore they are needed is a
good thing for the country as well as
for the immigrants. The immigration OF
convicts and Of paupers is already pro-
hibited by law, but it is difficult matter
70 administer il. So also the contract
labor law ia intended to break up some OF
the abuses which are shown to exist, but,
It appears is not effective for the purpose.
Probably the greatest evil. however, comes
from class Of immigrants not covered by
any Of these Iaws-those who are tempted
30 come over ia large numbers with no
definite plans before them-who have
enough means to entitle them to land, but
who cannot get beyond the seaboard

of collecting evidence showing the need
OF remedial legislation; it has very diff
