The Absolutely Protected Industries
Tariff League Bulletin.
The industry and adroitness of those
who have undertaken to force upon
the United States the British system OF
free foreign trade are worthy of a bot
ter cause. A favorite practice OF these
men has been pointing to certain trades
not exposed to foreign competition,
and citing the comparatively high
wages paid in them as an argument
for Withdrawing protection from all
industries.
While It is true that wages paid to
carpenters, masons, house painters.
blacksmiths, ere, are high as, and in
many instances higher, than wages
paid workmen in majority
OF the manufacturing industries.
the deception practicsd by free
traders lies in their claim
that the class Of mechanics
named are not protected because their
trades are not enumerated in The tariff
laws. The fact is they are protected
by natural conditions stronger than
any law Of Congress, and it Is in con.
sequence Of this absolute protection
that they are enabled to demand and
secure better pay. Bricklayipg, car
pentry, house painting and timing
cannot be done in foreign countries
and houses be brought here ready for
occupancy. Nobody knows this better
than the free trade attorneys else they
would be found quite as strenuous for
free houses as they now are for free
ships, free wool aud free lumber. The

'But the annual value Of the Ameri-
can wool industry is not limited to the
clip of wool or the increase OF the flock
or its contribution to our supply OF
animal food. It's value as a means OF
enriching the soil is recognized by in.
telligent farmers, though unfortun.
ately is not generally appreciated.
0ae Of the thriftiest farmers in the
state OF New York has said that after
careful study of the subject, he be-
Iieved that the advantage derived
yearly from the improved fertility Of
his land where the sheep were pas
tured, equaled enough value Of his
wool clip. This element of value has
not been investigated carefully enough
to Justify positive conclusions. though
il may be unreasonable to estimate the
annual gain to the country from this
source of fertilization at not less than
800, 900, 900.
1.-THE United States is the second
wool-producing country in the world
Australia, with its vast area of unoc
cupied land, is the first. South
America ranks third, where land and
labor rank the lowest in value Russia
is the fourth, with its boundless wastes
and semi-slave population. The total
production of the world, go far as it
comes within the field OF statistics,
amounts to about two thousand
millions Of pounds. of which this
country furnishes one sixth part.
This important prop, r.ion must be
considered in estimating the effect Of
legislation tending to discourage our
sheep husbandTy. A serious reduction
OF the American clip, ccincindent with
q constant increaces in the worlds
consumption Of wool, could not fail to
be quickly followed by an advance il
the price Of foreign woods, with higher
profits for foreign wool growers, and
increased cost Of wooden goods.
THE United States ia ten years, 1870
to 1880, increased its consumption Of
wool 20 per cent, while her population
increased 80 per cent. Meantime the
prices OF wool have remained, under
the influence of our protective policy,
comparatively uniform, varying in the
New York market as follows: For med
ium wool, 1850, 40 cents; 1860, As cents;
1870, 4s cents; 1888, 40 cents. The
American farmers have received re-
munerative prices for wool and the
American manufacturers have ex
tended their consumption OF wool 10
per cent. while in England prices of
wool have declined nearly 80 per cent,
and the consumption Of wool in man
ufactures has not, in proportion to pop
ulation, increased at all.
Whatever may BE- the decision Of
the American people as TO the advan-
tage Of maintaining the wool tariff, it
cannot be doubted, upon review of
the facts already stated, that the wool
tariff has during the past 25 years.
prevented the decline Of our wool in
duetry and secured its rapid extension,
together with the equally rapid growth
OF our wool manufactures. And there
can be no doubt that in the absence OF
adequate protection the experience of
this nation as respects its wool pro-
duction wovld have been the same az
all other civilized nations where the
wool industry has made no progress or
has declined, because, with even
cheaper labor than ours they have not
been able to compete with the product
OF new and semi-barbarous countries.
