Prices Under a Protective Tariff

|
The attorneys for free trade, who
seek to create prejudice against the
policy of protection by charging that
it enhances the cost to consumers
can be best met by comparison of
prices of few articles in common
use.
In 1880, salt, then on III, free list,
sold to consumers at an average of
So per barrel. The tariff on salt in
barrels is now IL cents per hundred
pounds, Tor say 33 cents per bar
rely and the average price is not
more than half that of 1860. As
salt has been the subject of special
attack, it may be well to ascertain
just how much of the present selling
price goes to the manufacturer, against
whom it sought to create prejudice.
In 1887, at the works in Michigan
salt was sold for 60 cents a barrel
and OF this sum 20 cents was paid to
the cooper for making the barrel.
All between this price and that paid
by consumers went for transportation
and profits of middlemen,
The manufacture of plate glass was
established in 1866, when the for
efgn-made article sold for 81 SO per
square foot. The tariff on similar
qualify OF glass is now so cents per
square foot, and the price mas stead
lily lowered until it is now rs cents
per square foot.
Pig iron, in 1860, sold for S22.72
per ton. With a tariff of S6.7s per
ton it now sells for SIS.
Steel rails were first made here in
1867, when the price was SI6o per
ton. The tariff has been as high as
$2S Fer ton, and is now ST. Steel
rails are now quoted at SCI, and have
sometimes been lower.
A favorite plea of free traders is
that with woods and woolens on the
free list "The poor mans blankets"
would be sold for one.half its present
price-when the fact is prices for
blankets of equal quality are about
the same in the United States and
England. Here is the proof: Last
year the secretary OF war invited bids
for supplying army blankets of four
pounds weight, and allowed foreign
ers to compete on the same terms as
American manufacturers, that is,
without paying the tariff. The low
est British bid was only 80 cents per
blanket less than that of an Ameri-
can. The tariff if it had been
charged, would be about $I.6o. Our
free trade officer gave the contract to
the foreigner who pays no taxes and
buys nothing in this country, instead
of favoring the American, who sup.
plies work to hundreds of people and
otherwise adds to the wealth of our
country. The money from our ma.
tional treasury went to a foreign
country, and American soldiers are to
sleep under British blankets because
they can be made In England for
thirty cents less than in this country.
And here is some testimony from
the other side: Matthew Arnold, the
eminent English scholar, statesman
and free trade advocate, recently
deceased, last year made a tour of
this country, and afterwards gave his
conclusions in the Nineteenth Gen.

This city, beautifully situated in
Washington county, Maryland, bids
fair to soon out rival all other Ma

heavy draw the Shenandoah Valley

its most enterprising young men, 1t
it has held its own and steadily in
creased in population, and now the
number of inhabitants is estimated
at 10000. The water supply is ex-
cellent and electric lights are being
put up. The already handsome
public building has been recently
remodeled and repalnted. In look

it a large influx Of trade from every
section, but affords facilities for its
shippers and manufacturers to reach
every market. The trains, both on
the B. h. o. and 5. V. railroads run
conveniently, and we advise those
of this section, who are unable to
obtain what they desire at home, to
make Hagerstown their shopping
place. The merchants cater espec-

receive every attention and the best
