A HOME MARKET FAILURE.

of the Grower and the Manufacturer lire.
concilabIe-Let the People Have Their
Inning.
The protectionists fancy that they
can make kind OF protection on wool
and on wooden goods which will recon-
cile the conflicting interests OF the
wool grower and the manufacturer. In
order to do this they put high duties on
wool to stimulate its projections; and
when they come to protect the woolen
manufacturer they not only impose a
high ad valorem duty on woolen goods
but they give him also so-called com
pensatory duty" of so much per pound
or per yard on the competing foreign
products in order to compensate him for
the high duties he paid on his foreign
wool, or for the tariff-increased price he
paid for his homegrown wool.
In this way, by piling up tariffs, the
protectionists vaiply hope to make both
the grower Of wool and the manufact--
drer OF clcSh prosperous, and to hear
them both calling down blessings upon
our benefcent system of protection.
The protectionists make for themselves
very pretty pictures of the excellent
workings of their system. They take
especial delight in showing how it
brings the wooden mills near to the
wool growers. And then just see what
an enormous saving of fre ght both
ways A factory just at hand with
many operatives to be fed with garden
truck! Truly protection is good thing
lit blesses him that gives and him
that takesn'
A beautiful dream! Let us see howit
is fulfilled Ohio is the State which,
more than all others, has moved heaven
and earth to get high duties on wool. 1t
is there that the so-called political
shepherds" live and have their being
viz, Delano Harpater and Lawrence.
In State like this the protectionist
dream ought to be realized, Any woolen
mill there ought to have smooth road
to prosperity.
What are the facts? The Dry Goods
Economist prints tho following piece of
news: "The wooden mill at Findlay,
O., has ceased to do business, and the
building is now used as glass factory"
The mill at Findlay was doubtless
among that large number (James Do
Ian, the great protectionist wool manu-
facturer, of Philadelphia, said in his
letter to Senator Quay one-half of all
the mills in the country which were
shut down during the summer.
But why did this mill select the glass
industry? The reason is plain. Foreign
window glass last year paid an average
duty of 1O5 per cent, and Mckinley has
been trying to make the duties still
higher. Does not this confirm the
statement quoted approvingly by Sena-
tor Plumb from friend of his
| that "the American manufacturer
does not manufacture any thing
| he can not make certain
and great profit on, and that he stands
out of the way of the foreign manufact-
urer as to other articles on which he
can not make satisfactory protits?' Did
