PROTECTION APPEALS TO FACTS.

Three objections to the Protective Tariff are
often heard, which have been so frequently and
30 concusively answered that they should be
dropped by reasonable men. These arc : l..
That the tariff cannot benefit either manu-
facturef or laborer unless il raises the price Of
the protected product. =. That it does not help
labor to higher wages because here and there
strikes occur, or reductions Of wages after new
duties are imposed. 3. That if the manu-
factnrer gets higher prices in consequence Of
Protection the people lose all that he can pos
sibly gain, so that the country is IN no respect
benefited.
1t is mover OF much use to answer one theory
with another The only convincing answer is
an array OF facts. 1t has sometimes been said,
with tsnc Of melancholy, that the Frce-Trad.
ers have all the theories and tho Protcctonsts
have all the facts The reason why many get
that idea is that Protcctionists always prefer
10 let irrcfutabo and established facts do battle
for them instead OF theories which have no
human experience to support them.
The experience OF the country for more than
thirty years now demonstrates beyond the pos
sibility OF reasonable dispute that manufacturers
and workers are often greatly benefited by
duties, although no advance in prices to con-
sumcrs results A late illustration is found in
tho manufacture of cotton ties, which has been
transferred bodily to this country by new
duties imposed in the Mckinley tariff Many
works arc now engaged in making ties which
could not mako them with safety before the
new duties were imposed. They afford occupa-
ton TO thousands of hands, who rcaiz, their
advantage when they draw weekly wages about
double those paid in any other country for the
same work Yet the fact has been recorded in
trade papers within the last year that steel
cotton ties, of the finest quality, have been sold
for delivery in various parts of the South at less
than cents per pound, tho lowest price ever
known in tho trade. With the great American
market secured to them, American manufactur.
els can well afford to employ machinery and
enterprise in producing goods as chcaply az
similar goods can be produced in other coun-

MORE A'EINLEY PRICES.

There are two points in our staff correspond
ent's letter from Amsterdam, in this state,
which we wish TO emphasize. The first is the
chcapening Of tho cost of American carpets
Although the duties were increased by the
Mckinley act there has been an average re-
duction Of 10 per cent in price. The develop
mcnt Of this industry is ono of the marycis OF
tbe Protective system. In 1860 tho domestic
production amounted u 1900, 900 yards. In
1890 il had increased to 1900, 900 yards.
Since the passage Of the Mckinley ad every
carpet factory has been in full operation, and
new mills for making the finest qualities Of
goods are now under construction or will be
begun next year. Carpets which were once sold
for So yard now bring 81 - cents. That is
the way in which tho Protective Tariff works
Il employs American workmen to make carpets
fer tho homo market and enormously cheapens
fbe goods for the consumer.
The second point is tho effect Of tariff agita-
ton upon this trade. Whfn President Glove
land proclaimed in 1887 his policy of lower
ing the duties levied in the interest Of pro-
tected industries, the carpet trade was para
,zed for time. Throughout 1888 factories
wore working on half time, small stocks were
carried and the business of manufacturing was
greatly depressed When General Harrison
was elected the mills were at once started on
full time II this was the effect of menace
of tariff reduction four years ago, how disas-
trous will be the result of sweeping Demo
cratic triumph in the elections of this year
Not only will the building Of new mills be sus-
pendcd but the old factories will be shut down
Al rin ha tod
the operatives OF this prosperous industry will
he brought face to face with tho evils Of reduced
wages or loss of employment. What applies
TO the carpet trade holds good with regard to
protec ed manufactures in general. Democratic
success will carry with it the menace of stag
uant business. increased importation and de-
cline Of manufacturing at home. Republican
success will imply q continuance of the buoyant
