is not and cannot be, in his auxiliary and
essentially domestic work. protected by
an import duty, any more than can the
scaven ger or the chimney sweep. The i'm
port duty adds to the price he pays. and
consequently to the circulating capital
which he requires in order to carry on
this traffic; but il adds nothing to the
rate of profit which he receives. and
nothing whatever to the employment
which he gives. This forced increment of
capital sets in motion no labor, and is
compelled to work in the uncovered field
of open trade. 1t has not the prima facia
apology (such as that apology may be)
which the iron maker or the mill owner
may make, that he is employing Amsri-
can labor which would not otherwise be
employed. If the waste under a protsc-
tive duty of so per cent be a waste of so
per cent. the waste of the extra capital
required in dist ibution is a waste of Z
per cent. on the cost of the operation for
it accomplishes absolutely nothing on be-
half of the community which would not
be accomplished equally if the commod-
ity were 80 per cent less in price; just as
the postman distributing letters at shil
ling performs no better or other service
than the postman distributing letters at q
penny. But of distributors the name is
legion; they constitute the vast army of
the wholesale and retail trad, smen of our
country, with all the wants appertaining
te them. As consumers. they are taxed
on all protected commodities; as the
allies of producers in the business OF dis
tributing. they are forced to do with
more capital what could be done as well
with less.

this: high wages by protection. low
