I. E. Wilson, in the New York World,
presents some facts OF vital interest to
the farmers and laborers of America. a
few of which we give below.
A protected manufacturer says:
Our discounts to the Home Trade are
for Wholesale purchases. Onr discounts
to the Foreign Trade are for Retail pur-
chases. We sell single machines at re-
tail to the foreign purchaser at 10 per
cent. less than our wholesale rates to the
domestic buyer"
Nearly all our protected manufacturers
advertise in foreign newspapers. and
from their advertisements ii can be seen
that the foregoing statements are very
conservative. They sell abroad at retail
at 20 or 40 per cent. discount on The
wholesale prices charged in this country.
The exact words of the editor of a pa
per published in New York city, for cir
culation in foreign countries only, to a
person writing for a copy, giving the yea
son why they are not sold in this coun-
try, were. because the retail pilces quo
ted for export are considerably lower than
large dealers must pay fdr the same arti-
cles here at Wholesale"
The Engineering and Mining Journal,
publ shes an american edition and an
export Supplement-" which is not sold
In this country. but which can be obtain
ed BY any person writing for it. The
lend of this reads, in large type;
EXPORT SUPPLEMENT.
New York Prices Currept.
DISCOUNTS ARE FOR EXPORT ONLY.
Then follows If broad pages OF illus
trated quotations, from which the World
gives samples. They advertise to sell al
retail, free on board. at New York, at dis
counts ranging from 80 TO 10 per cent.
from list price which is lower than the
dealer in them can buy, while the farmer
must pay the list price.
ITO the foreigner, the protected mill
owner sells a seed-driil for $3.50: q ON
biued drill, rake and plough for S9.30
g Firetlg wheel-h0e and plough for $3.50
a hand-piough Tor $40. The foreigner
buys an Oneonta Clipper ploughfo for $3.50
but no Americanmay.
For the Chieftan hay-tedder the uneri
can pays 500, the foreigner pays $S5.4C
and in like proportion for all like things
On ploughs OF all kinds the discount t
tie foreign buyer is 80 per cent.
On the Nye improved rake the discoun
to the foreign buyer is % per cent.
On all other horse rakes ~hay-teader
| and potatoe-diggers, 20 per cent.
On garden rakes the discount 10 tn
+ foreign buyer is 20 and ..
oncast-steel garden rakes it is 10 pc
cent.
And so on. These advertisements con
tinue in this one paper Tor forty-two co
+, umes.
This is not a question OF taking an
mans word. Each voter can easily prov
it for himself by sending twenty-ilv
+ cents to the Engineering and Mimi
Journal and asking for the export SUI
plemcnt, OF by having a friend i'll sem
foreign country send him the foreign az
q refreshments Of these protected mill-owI
ers. The former is the easier and quit
as convincing.
There are forty-two wide columns {
