FACTS VERSUS BUNCOMRE.

hhOOO DONNUM IL.
Our good brother Of the Era de-
votes a column of what he terms
""The Free Trade ARGUS versus
Protection" in the last issue of his
paper. Our brother is a versatile
writer and yields a ready and fluent
pen, and, theoretically, he paints a
beautiful picture of Protection"
But az usual he deviates from the
path of facts, and wanders in the
lane of prophecy, ga declaration Of
something to come" He attributes
our prosperity, so called, to P~rotec-
ton. Let as quote from the Era /:
II this proposition is correct, why
does the ARGUS favor any important
duty at all, even for revenue? WHY
not repeal all important taxes, and
levy a tax directly upon the people
and property Of the country neces-
sary TO raise sufficient revenues for
expenses Of government.
Simply this. Since it is necessa-
ry to raise a revenue in support Of
the government this is the least
burdensome and expensive to the
people. Now we would ask in re-
turn is Protection is such a great
benefit to the masses why not make
It prOhibItory 30 that other countries
could not ship any Of their products
into this country ? Why levy a duty
Of the difference between the manu-
featuring Of the article in the old
country and this Would not this
accomplish the levyIng Of a direct
tax upon the people? If protection
is for the benefit Of the laborinq
class, as you claim, would not q
prohibitory tariff accomplish great
er benefits for thepoor workingmany
If not, why not {?
Here is the way the Erq explains
the high O. wages paid American
labor f:
The most rabid democratic news
paper IN the country does not dis
pute the fact that the laboring man
in this country, whether skilled or
otherwise, receives a much larger
for his labor than in Euro
pean countries whose manufactures
come IN competition with ours, and
This is alone due TO the tax contrib
