THE TARIFF AND LABOR.

The last census shows that there are
17,392,O78 Of our people actually engaged
in all kinds Of industries. Seven mill
ion six hundred and seventy thousand
four hundred and ninety three are &C.
lively employed in agriculture, l,139, 1862
in professional services, 1894, s76 are la
borers and domestics, 1,81O,256 are en-
ployed in trade and transportation,
1,2l4,OS are carpenters, masons, black
smiths, builders, bakers plasterers, tail
OPS, agricultural implement makers,
shoemakers, railroad employees, millin-
ers, dressmakers, and other miscellaneous
occupations, leaving 2,623Os9 persons
employed in such manufacturing indus
tries as as claimed to be benefited by
high tariff.
Thus it appears that 14,769,O1O per-
sons who perform six-sevenths of the
labor done in this country are thoroughly
taxed and feeced for the benefit of
2.623,O39, but only few thousand of the
last-named number receive the profits
OF the tariff. They are the owners of
the factories, the nabobs of the ''trusts,"
the pools" and the "combines," who
make often from 30 per cent. to SO per
cent. per annum on their investments.
The laborers employed in manufactur-
ing or mining are not protected by the
tariff, because they must compete with
$4,000 other laborers in this country
and with all the laborers of the world
Except the Chinese, who are prohibited
from coming here) and in addition to
this they are compelled to pay the in
creased price for clothing, shelter, food
and home conveniences caused by the
tariff.

FARMERS AND M'KINLEY.

This country has no more deserving
class than the farmers. They rise earl,
and toll late. In many instances the,
lead lives of self-denial only to advance
the interests of the wealthy manufac
turer. For them there is no protection
worth speaking Of. They are to be con,
tent with the home market, and with
this feeble sophistry they have allowed
themselves to be gulled from year tc
year. Facts are all against this speciout
home market argument. In 1860 we sold
80 per cent. of our farm products al
home; in 1870, 80 per cent, and in 1886
only 20 per cent. How is that for q
home market, with an increasing tariff
all the time? In 1860, we were com.
PEELED to send only 10 per cent. abroad;
in 1870, 20 per cent, and in 1880, 80 pei
cent. We already make more goods
than our people will use at present
prices, while we yearly export increas-
ing quantities OF our grains and meats.
One machine operative will manufacture
for five, but he can eat only for himself.
In 1860. under revenue tariff, we ex-
ported 295,OOO,OOo, and in 1870, after
ten years of protective tariff. there was
only 1891 100000. and in 1880, our ex-
ports amounted to s686,OOO,OOO. The
ratio OF home consumption, therefore,
did not increase. It actually became
less, and larger perc-ltage of our agri-
cultural products sought foreign mar
ket. Instead. then, Of our farmers Sc
curing home market, they are every
year becoming more dependent on Lon
don aud Liverpool. The eastern market
never has paid and never will pay the
American farmer more for his grain
than he gets in Liverpool.
The very manufacturer whom the
farmer is taxed to protect against
European labor is selling farm imple-
ments from one half to one-third cheaper
to the foreigner than to the home
farmer. OF the Advance pillow, the home
price is $ls, the foreign price SO. A hay
tedder costs the American S45, his COM
petitor $50. For mower our farmers
pay down S65, the outsider is given it
for $50. The horse-rake, that represents
an outlay in this country of $25, can be
had elsewhere for SIT. The Cumming
feed-cutter is cheap to an American at
$50, the rival grudges SC. Two dollars
and half represents the difference in
the prices of wheel hoe cultivator
rake and pillow. The list might be
greatly extended, but the proof is sufti-
oient. If any doubts be still entertained
we direct the careful attention Of voters
to the following authenticated letter:
1--WE hand you herewith American list
for expectation, iron wood-screws,' subject
to q discount of 5715 per cent. Terms cash,
or thirty days. Freight paid to New York.
This quotation is made conditional that the
export shipment be of sufficient value to en-
title US to drawback, and that the export
shipment be made by us. Yours, very
truly, AMERICAN SCREW COMPANY,
FRANK Hon."
Fifty seven and one-half per cent. dis
count! What a magnificent boon this
tariff is to the farmer, the pet child Of
the republican party! Is Carter to be
returned to advocate and perpetuate
such scandalous outrage? The

CONFIDENCE GAMES.

The robber tariff lords are jubilant
Their reward is at hand. They cast
forth their bread upon the waters and
their ill-gotten wealth into the Golfers
OF the republican party. They elected
Benjamin Harrison. They subsidized
blocks of five. They spilled corruption
over the face Of the country. Now their
expenditure has been returned to them,
though not after many days. They were
cautious enough. They had strings in
plenty attached to the recipients of their
contributions. Now they are having
royal sport. The Mckinley bill has be-
come law. Visions of enormous profit
are dancing before their heated vision,
They have got the consumer fast in the
finest trap that has ever been invented,
and he may squirm and squirm, but
escape is impossible until he has been
plundered from head to foot.
Trusts are springing up with the
rapidity of mushrooms. A carpet mo-
nopoly is one OF the latest specimens.
OF course, the consumer does not pay
one cent Of duty. Not bit of it. But
there is to be an advance of prices on
Brussels carpets of from % to 80 per
cent. The purchaser won't pay it.
Some one else does that. just who,
does not matter. Leave it indefinite
and trust to the gullibility of the public.
Action, it has been decided, is to be
prompt, and the money is to roll in at
once. The manufacturers of Philadel-
phia, who control two-thirds of the
home looms, have signed an agreement
ito shut down 40 per cent. Of their
looms for a period Of one year from Nov.
l; the looms to be securely locked and
sealed, and to be kept subject to the in
spection OF an authorized committee"
The supply will be less than the demand
and there you are. And so are the man
ufscturers.
This is noble sure-thlng game. The
profits will be simply enormous. The
manufacturers got the dead cinch
on the consumers this trip and no mis-
take. No fear Of foreign importation.
No chance of cut prices. Mckinley saw
to all that. So did Carter. The duty
on Brussels carpet is A cents per square
yard and 40 per cent ad vslorem. From
So per cent. of the value of the goods it
has been raised to 50. The old duty was
practically prohibitory. There is to be no
food Of foreign Brussels carpet deoeiv-
ing the American working man. Com
petition suppressed, production of the
home market under complete control,
foreign competition barred, there can be
no difficulty in increasing prices. But
who 10 going to pay the difference?

The 1NDEpENDExT's statement of the
effect OF the Mckinley bill In Helena
attracted a good deal of attention. When
political matters were discussed in various
small groups about the streets the Mckinley
bill was a favorite topic. A few days ago a
local paper published a Warrington special
stating that the democratic shopkespers in
Washington were attempting to create q
sensation by announcing general rise in
prices as result of the passage Of the bill.
It was looked upon as political scare.
Those who have cared to investigate the
matter nnd that the bill has the same effect
IN Helena, and that it is not = political
scare either.
