This is reduction on great scale.
The free trader is wrong as usual. Car
pets are not higher in price. they are
lower, "on account of the tariff"
Some traders, encouraged by the false
hoods OF the Democratic press, which
always works against the interests of the
American purchaser and the American
laborer, by encouraging capital to de-
mand higher prices for the one and pay
lower wages to the other, while making
an impudent pretense of desire for
freedom of competition, have de-
msnded higher prices for carpets. But
they have been few in number. The
majority of retailers have not asked
higher prices. There has been no cause
for higher prices. The item of wool,
which is the chief Ingredient of carpet
manufacture, has been made q subject
of inquiry by the American Economist,
and the showing il as follows:
In the first ten months of the new laws
existence, ending July 81. our imports of
carpet wool were so. l6O,2l7 pounds, valued
at SIS, ,3lS, an average OF 10L cents a
pound. The duty OF 32 per cent. ad valor-
EN- brings the price to the manufacturer
up to Ii 81 cents pound. This is the
average price paid by the carpet manu-
facturer for carpet wool this year.
III tuc corresponding iuOHtlo VI ldSt year,
under the old tariff, imports of carpet wool
were 71,0Sl.76I, valued at 1925, 740, or
IL 3-5 cents pound. The old duty Of 21S
cents pound added made the price at the
carpet mill IL ITO cents pound. In other
words, the manufacturer is getting his
carpet wool cheaper on an average this
year than last.
Tho evident fact Of cheap wool moved
the Dry Goods Economist TO say on the
2Sth of last month, Carpets are likely
to be cheaper than ever before" The
Dry Goods Economist is radically free
trade in its editorial opinions, but as a
guide to merchants it endeavors, and
with success, to be correct in it's facts
and figures. At an early date it had
predicted "higher prices on account of
the tariff" but it's editorial opinion
was, as usual, wrong, just as its market
quotations always are right. Explain
ing the failure Of its prediction, it said,
on the day quoted:
Here again we have rather surprising
outcome OF what seemed inevitably ris-
ing market, due To causes which we have
already explained, to-wit, the lower price
or raw material and the eager competi.
ton, which cuts the profit down to the bare
bones.
