LABOR AND TARIFF.
Recitation of an Idle Statement Made by
Democratic Papers.


Democratic Papers.
Iowa Democratic journals are telling
their readers that the tariff is not a
factor in fixing wages-that the labor
ing men of Iowa would receive the
same wages. whatever the tariff" and
that "the demand for labor would at
the least be the same" This in effect
is a denial that there is, or can be.
such thing as a protective tariff so
far rs the labor of the country is con-
cerned. The statement is that "what-
ever the tariff wages would at least
be the same. If this be true, then the
reduction of the tariff to a revenue
basis only would still not tend to a
lessening of wages. More than that,
absolute free trade would not diminish
the cost of labor in this country This
is not reasonable. The wages paid in
Dubuque, for instance. are regulated
by the price of like labor in other cities
This is because there is free trade be-
tween the cities. If wages are much
lower in Chicago than in Dubuque,
wages in Dubuque must drop to the
Chicago standard. Precisely so if
there is free trade between the United
States and England, the conditions of
the manufacturing enterprise must lie
brought as nearly as possible TO the
same basis in the two countries. In the
matter of wages. labor being more album
dant aud cheaper in England than in this
country the English standard would
dominate, save as restraint might
come in through difference in cost of
raw material. transportation, etc. But
the cost of labor is the great factor in
every great manufacturing business;
aud if England is not restrained from
free trading in this country by our tar
if laws. than our manufacturers must
produce as cheaply as the English
manufacturer in order to hold their
business. Indeed. furthermore, if adj
vantage is not given TO home industry
a considerable part of the trade must
be lost, for there would be much ex-
perimenting in buying abroad. and
thus the growth of manufacturing
checked in this country and the OPP
portunity for employment lcssened-
For another thing. it does not stand to
II ason that the cost of all manufact-
ured goods is to be materially lessened
aad yet the price of labor and the de-
mand for labor suffer no diminution.
Manufacturers are not compelled to
manufacture, and they will cease to
give employment to labor when such
employment can not be made profit
able to themselves. Capital can much
better afford to be idle than labor.
The competition of American working
men with one another is sharp enough.
They ought not to be subjected also to
the composition of low-priced foreign
labor. -Si0u1 Cily Ia Journal
