TO enaba1tfle 70 remain In the koinoss,
duty OFT to II per cent Is imposed o6
fax in various raw stages, and SO to 40
per cent, on manufactured articles. The
truth about this tax, as in so many other
cases, is that It fails of Its purpose en-
tirely. 1t does not foster the industry as
it pretends to do. The people pay more
for their goods, thread, handkerchiefs,
wearing apparel, ETC., in order to keep
alive business that history has shown is
not naturally profitable here. If the
duty was abolished the prices would 60
down. the consumers would benefit and
nobody would suffer, for the fields now
devoted to flax raising would be turned
over to more profitable lines of work.
A striking feature of the industry, and
one that has caused much trouble, is the
poisonous effects of the fumes arising
from the stepping process, and the dele
terious influences of the water used. The
water may be turned to good use, as
above indicated, but this is not always
or wholly done; and nothing can live in
any stream which serves to carry the
water away. So great was the de-
struction of fish in the Ulster streams
of Ireland from this cause that, years
ago, the manufactures were forbidden
by law from disposing of the water by
the way Of rivers or brooks. Neverthe-
less the evil has not been wholly removed,
and hundreds of fsh are killed annually
even now by this agency.
With that care for minutiae which dis
tinguishes Europeans in their industries,
the Belgians and Dutch add to their re-
sources by sowing carrots with fax,
thus reaping double crop, and in many
cases they get two crops Of fax a year
from the same field. In districts where
flax is grown extensively in those coun-
tries there are said to be no paupers
whatever, for the entire working popu-
lation is engaged In summer in caring

Benefits to Foreign Labor from the Tariff.
It is a funny thing that this tariff sys-
tenn, so much vaunted as bulwark to
native workuen. encourages and fur
nishes living to foreigners. A cursory
glance at our Industries is enough to
prove this. Who work in the great ready
made clothing shops of the principal
citiess Some Americans, perhaps, but is
not the vast majority made up OF Poles
and Bohemianss Who does not know
that of late years, that is, since the war,
when the tariff system was instituted,
Canadians have overrun New England
towns and secured places in the factories7
The overwhelming presence Of under
paid, miserable Hungarians in the Penn
sylvania mining regions is notorious.
And 80 it goes. Every important pro-
tected industry has vast proportion Of
foreigners in its employ.
How about the unprotected industries,
farming, masonry, the ordinary trades
connected with housebuilding? In these
the major part Of the workmen are
American citizens, and, better still, ma
Gves.
Furthermore, it does not follow that
the workmen in protected" industries
get the highest wages or live most COM
fortably. The reverse is the case. The
greatest prosperity among laborers Is
found among those whose industries are
not protected. 6. ....... s II.

Good Doctrine from Prominent Repub-
I, ltcAh with Ultra Tcn.iencies.n
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, Of Ohio,
who defined himself as ''a Republican
with ultra tendencies has given ex-
preston to one Of the favorite truths Of
the low tariff men. The high protec-
tionists occasionally let slip such truths,
to the great delight Of all advocates Of
freer trade.
Tariff rcformers have been saying for
q long time that il protection be in It.
self good thing our different states
ought to adopt it and protect their home
enterprises against the competition Of
the more favored. states. in the Union.
The inequality in the price of labor. in
the different parts of the country affords
here ample play for the cheap labor ar
guments Of the protectionists.
As an example Of this, tariff reformers
have pointed out the fact that the wages
paid III 1883 by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, in
his blast furnace A, at Braddock, Pa,
ran from fifty cents to 81 lower than was
paid for similar work in furnace No. q
of the Union Steel company at Chicago.
A still more startling difference was
shown in the wages Of the heaters helper,
Mr.. Carnegie paying $1.3s per 100 tons,
while the Chicago concern paid $3.
Does not Illinois need q protective
tariff against 1.-The cheap pauper. labor"
of Pennsylvania? ..
But what does Mr.. Butterworth say7
''If the arbitrary control of competi-
ton by congress without regard to con-
dition be desirable-that is, If a protec-
tive tariff as means Of limiting COM
petition be good in the abstract-con-
gress should at once, if it has the power,
divide the United States into six divis-
ions, 50 that each one may get rich by
fencing out all competition"
That is what may be called "blurtin' it
out in meetin'." =.

That this power has bee 4 abused,

the Governor has practically been

the lottery bill, viz. that its passage
would be a measure of relic f to a tax

Whether the lottery bill would &C.
complish the object stated, or not, is

American Goods Seeking Foreign Ma


Coombs, Crosby & Eddy, large export
ing merchants Of New York, recently
made public fact which shows how
American manufacturers are reaching
out after the markets of the world. He
states that repeatedly during the past year
his firm had chartered vessels to come in
ballast. e., without any cargo-from
foreign ports to New York in, order to
take away merchandise for which the
firm had orders, At the time when this
statement was made there were six yes.
sells serving the firm on such charter.
But why was it necessary for these
vessels to come to America empty? Did
not this involve great loss of time and
money? Did it not render the freight
charges on the outgoing cargo Of Ameri-
can wares much greaser7 .'-.
Mr.. Coombs answers these questions
by showing that, in order to render this
foreign trade profitable, the incoming
cargo must also be found. He says that
his experience proves that the problem
of providing the outgoing cargo is al
ready solved. Tho time has come, he
says, when the enterprise of our manu-
facturers, combined with the intelligent
skill and inventive genius of our me-
chanics, enables us to- compete in the
markets Of the world with the European
factories as regards nearly every class
Of our industrial productions.
The articles on which we cannot COM
pete successfully are those In which the
cost of the raw materials is the chief
item. With cheap raw materials these
articles would also be profitably exported.
We are told repeatedly that it is the
high price Of American labor which pre-
vents us from sending our wares into
foreign markets, but here is an expert
enced exporter who says that he COM
petes most successfully in those classes
of goods in which the labor cost Is great
est. @S=.r1. J..
One of these vessels which had to lose
time in sailing empty across the seas to
New York took on q cargo there for
Natal in South Africa, This part Of the
great Ozark Continent" of which such
marvellous things are now being told,
produces immense quantities Of the very
finest grades of wool. Our manufactur-
ers need these woods and have recently
petitioned congress for them.
But the ship in question was not able
to take on a return cargo of wool, for the
custom house officers in New York would
have exacted ten cents for every pound
of it, and this is more than half of its
cost in Africa.
What then did the captain Of Mr..
Coombs' vessel dos ..- >.. .
He sailed empty across the Atlantic
again to Brazil, where he took on car
60 for New York. This he could very
well do, as the great products of Brazil
are coffee and crude rubber, which are
allowed to enter New York free.
Mr.. Coombs, it should he stated, does
not seek a remedy for these evils by ask
ing congress to grant subsidy to vessels
carrying his merchandise. On the con-
trary, he thinks that this would be only
a temporary expedient, a correction Of
one error by the commission Of another.
His remedy 10 removal Of the almost
prohibitory duty on South American and
Cape woods.
