1t 1!ll be seen from these references
that Mr. Jones Urged 81 the stock srg1'
| ments for projection, and made the
| usual thrests OF disaster.
When Mr.. Charles T. White OF New
} York, one OF tie fortunate i've making
quinlne, appeared, he could rot sustsln
the statements made by Mr. Jones. He
| wages than n Great British, and one
hsf more thsn on the Continent. That
would mean 81 80 in Aue is; 81 Is in
| Crest Britain, and 5 l II Itsly, instead OF
| 80 snd 40 cents given by Jones, Mr..
White asked for nothing but simple
justice, but II they did not get II he was
sure the infant Industry in which he and
his poverty stricken friends were engaged
| would 60 to utter ruin.
Then Mr. c A. Robbins, another Of the
Fortunate fiTe. came ais to ask justice,
and declared (p.ge 246, Report # Tariff
CommiSsion): Il do not shias the duty
on or f qu!cine would ml.er!a.iy chang Q
| the price."
"fhen WY do you want il onP' he
answer:
because it would help us compete
With the manufacturer abroad"
M. Roooins is ussful witness, but
be GidI'. eIpIsia how tariff in America
would help him compete with the maru-
| fscturer sorosd. Ia the WORDS OF the
! poet
"Oh, what a anglej web Ue weave
When frat We practice 10 deceive"
Nj. R ,6bips was very clear in his mind
that the purpose Of The foreign m.nutac-
tuTer WAS FIST to )od tne Am 3rican
market with cheap quinipe, and, having
smOthered our five infants N the cradle,
put the prlce up. That was six years
sgo; the price has been G. ing dowl ever
siaca. Ths five infants make twice As
much now as they did befo:e the repeal ot
! duty.
Then Mr.. RosengtrteH was sent fer
Rosengsrten indorssd all tast h.d beeI
said, except tba: he could rot sgres WI.E
Mr. r JbDins taat the ttrif woult nG'
msGs the price higher. He said, very Can
didly:
"a. 1 understand It, the obi2cg os 1hs

wise there would be no advantage II
having tariff tina. can aee"
Ius.eEd OF Insisting that free quIniut
would force them to reduce wages, Mr.
Rosengarten said: 1--WE cannot possibl,
obtain lAbor at the same tate they d.
soroad"
HIRE is the lsbor situation In one shor
sentence.
RJsengarten slso confessed that ne Ia
awake OF nights thinking what calsmit,
IL would be Il all the five infants SHOULD
be forced to step, and then We Shout
have war.
TEis review is particularly valuable .
this time. The case CT the q1inine man
utactlrers YVES Just as strong as that o
the wooden ma nfac,urers. They mad
in 1873 aud In 1882 the same threats mad
, now by the WOODEN manufacturers. The

r Instead Of prices advancing, they hsv
declined. O2e reason is nat me res
