Some Foreign Opinion.

Among the reckless assertions OF the
Free Traders otten'st met with is the
statement that the Tariff is tax upon
the consumer OF course it is, then
again, of course it isn't. A Revenue
Tariff undoubtedly taxes the consumer
Protective Tariff has precisely the
opposite effect. 1t taxes the importer,
and the best evidence of this is the
testimony of the importer himself.
While the Mckinley Bill was being
debated in Congress great massmeet-
ing was held in the City of Sheffield,
England, to protest against it and to
demand, that the British Government
should interfere to prevent it from
becoming law. Just what the She
field people expected their Govern
ment to do affords large opportunity
for amusing conjecture; but at the
meeting the leading speaker, who was
a Sheffield manufacturer of cutlery,
after stating that he remembered the
time when the American market sup
piled work for the entire City of She
field, went on to declare that the Nc.
Kinley Bill was bill to raise Amer
lean taxes out of the pockets of the
Sheffield importers, and that Sheffield
was not going to pay British taxes
and American taxes too!
This statement shows very clearly
that the Englishmen know who pay
our Protective duties! Sheffield may
do as she pleases about it, but under
the Mckinley Bill. if she desires to
sell her goods in the American mar
ket, she will have to pay for that priv
ilege, and the amount of her payment
will be exactly that sum which is the
difference between the cheap labor of
Sheffield and the expensive labor OF
America.
Some time ago in speech delivered
in the Canadian Parliament, Sir John
Macdonald, the Premier OF the DOmin-
ion Government, gave most apt and
accurate illustration of how our Pro-
tective Tariff works. This was his ex-
act language -
Suppose the man has 100 acres on
the Canadian side of the line and 100
acres on the American side Of the line.
Suppose he grows 1000 bushels of
barley % each Of his farms. He takes
his 1890 American bushels to the
American market and gets 81 bushel
for it. He takes his 1000 bushels OF
Canadian barley to the Canadian mar
ket and gets but 50 cents per bushel,
because he has to pay is cents duty
for taking it across the line, How
csn it, in this case be said that the
consumer pays the duty? 1t comes
out of the Canadian farmers"
What better proof is wanted to dem
onstrate tbe fact that Protective duties
are not paid by the American consul
mer but by the foreign producer.-Vi-
dette.

Cyrns Walker, of the Port Gamble
Mill Company, says that "the demand
for lumber for export has fallen off
and we have checked our production
accordingly. The large increase in
the number of mills has also affected
the export trade, as many of these
mills which have access to deep
water are 'stndihg lumber down the
coast. The chief cause of dullness in
the export trade, however, is the
strike in Australia. AZ Several shibs
which were to have brought coal over
to San Francisco are tied up there
and We have cancelled their charters
rather than continue to pay the crews
for nothing. This has prevented us
from getting vessels. There is con-
siderable consumption of lumber in
railroad building in South America.
but those people are beginning to
draw their supply from the forests of
southern Chill. The removal of the
Canadian export duty on lumber will
make it Just so much easier for the
Canadians to compete with us. Thew
can now produce cheaper than we
can, because their labor is cheaper
The Mckinley bill will benefit the
country considerably."''4 ~. - j..

Up to date no one has come
forward to champion the cause OF
free trade, in response to Senator
Kneeland's offer to debate the
question before the people. What
are we to think? Do the leaders
and would be apostles know the
details Of the cause they presume
to advocate or are they shouting
for effect and consideration. We
must presume the latter, if no one
comes forth. In a debate on the
rostrum before an intelligent aud
fence, there is no chance for mis-
representation. The tariff is a
deep question and all good Repub-
licanssafe open to conviction il
they are wrong, but the opposite
