In Henry Georges protection or Free
Trade" which is just now being extern
sively circulated by members of con-
gress, the author thus clearly shows
how oppressively indirect taxes-and
especially tariff taxes-bear upon the
poor, while the rich almost entirely es-
cape: ga still more important objection
to indirect taxation is that when i'm
posed on articles of general use land it
is only from such articles that large
revenues can be had) it bears with fan
greater weight on the poor than on the
rich. Since such taxation falls ON peo-
pie not according to what they have but
according to what they consume, it is the
heaviest on those whose consumption is
largest in proportion to their means.
Gas much sugar is needed to sweeten a
cup of tea for a working girl as for the
richest lady in the land, but the proper
ton of their means which tax on sugar
compels each to contribute to the govern
ment in the case of the one is much
greater than in the case of the other.
So it is with all taxes that increase the
cost of articles of general consumption.
They bear far more heavily on married
men than ON bachelors; on those who
have children than ON those who have
none; on those barely able to support
their families than on those whose in
comes leave them large surplus.
"If the millionaire chooses to live
closely he need pay no more of these
indirect taxes than the mechanic. l
have known at least two millionaires-
possessed L t of one, but of from six to
ten millions each-who paid little more
of such taxes than ordinary day la
borers."

Eminent Facts

The question is often asked and
scarcely ever answered, why whiskey
made now is not as pure and reliable
as it was forty years ago. 1t is never
theless a fact that it is made purer
and better to-day than at that time
With the improved methods fusil oil
and other impurities are entirely elm
mated. A sworn statement as to the
purity, age and quality of the whisky

The Enormitv of Tariff raxatio,.

I repeat what have said before, that
the people Of this country never walked
up to the enormity of the tariff taxation
proposed by the Republican party until
the Mckinley bill was put before them
and explained section by section. Mr..
Mckinley for the first time put in cold
type the meaning of his party from the
beginning, and that was to exclude from
this country all products which came in
competition with anything raised or pro-
duced in the United States, to build
Chinese wall around this country COM
mercially, to decrease imports Gas shall
show before the conclusion of my re-
marks they have done), to increase the
free list upon tropical fruits and luxu-
ries and the little frills of commerce,
but upon the absolute necessaries of life.
whether in clothing or in food, to ex-
clude them from this country in order,
as the senator from Vermont (Mr. Nor
rilD, the father of the tariff in this coun-
try, has declared, to make a market for
the agriculturists at home and not
abroad. l shall have something to say
about that before l conclude, when l
touch upon this new humbug of reci-
procity, which day by day is being de-
veloped, and which hope the senator
from Maine will have chance to dis
cuss in every township in this country,
as he threatened he would do some
months ago.-Senator Vest.

"plffeRsncE IN WAGES FARCE.

Our Farmers Now Compete with the
Lowest Paid Labor ON Earth.
Here is food for reflection for the
farmer who still thinks he is voting
money in his pocket when he votes for
protection" If ho will ponder this fact
sufficiently he will solve the whole tariff
problem. 1t is quoted from Recent
Economic Changes, by David A. Wells:
ssIndian corn can be successfully and
has been extensively raised in Italy
But Indian corn grown in the valley Of
the Mississippi, Thousand miles from
the seaboard, has been transported III re-
cent years to Italy and sold in her mar
kets at a lower cost than the corn of
Lombardy and Venetia, where the wages
of the agriculturist are not one-third of
the wages paid in the United States for
corresponding labor. And one not sur
prising sequel of this is that n 900 Ital-
ian laborers emigrated to the United
States in 1885"
In other grains and food products -
in cotton it is the same. The 81 and y
and SO day labor of the United States
completes with the cheap labor of Eu-
rope and Asia and often undersells it in
its own markets Thus wheat can be
produced in Dakota where wages are
50 a day, at 40 cents per bushel though
it cannot be produced in Rhenish Prus-
STA for less than so cents; but wages
there are only SO per month. AS to
England, her wheat growers have been
driven out of existence by our dear
labor and India and Russia's cheap
labor
Such facts as these must settle the
question forever with rational minds as
to whether or not wages determine cost
Of production. They did not do SO fifty
years ago, when high wage Europe was
supplying low wage Asia with many
manufactured articles. Still less do
they do SO now, when, with modern
machinery and methods, one man or a
boy will produce as much as ten men
fifty years ago. What folly, then, to
say that ION all imports coming in COM
petition with the products of American
labor there should be levied duties equal
to the difference between wages at home
tuu dDiOdtl. Ald ytb tillS Is lllC SeIlOuS
declaration of the Republican party in
its Minneapolis platform, and it poses
as the party of Nineteenth century civil
lization.
These Republicans persist in shutting
their eyes to facts. If Mckinley had
consulted tables of labor cost in differ
ent articles in different countries and
had made tariff rates only high enough
to put American and foreign goods on a
par in our markets as to labor cost, his
rates would not have been one-tenth as
high as now. But instead of consulting
figures he asked the manufacturers how
much duty they wished, and, as Con-
gresham Wilson has shown, practically
left blanks for manufacturers to fill out;
and they often made duties higher than
the total cost of production in any coun-
try-all for the benefit of the poor wage
Garner, of course.
Some day the voting consumers will
have intelligence and spunk enough to
suggest to the manufacturer that it is
time for him to remove his hand from
their pockets.

Producers Haze Agreed TO Eesfrict Pro-
ductton After July 1.
The New York Daily Commercial Bull
letin of june le says: AFTER long pc
Rod of negotiation the producers Of COP
per in Europe and the Unitsd States
have arrived 1t an agreement to restrict
production after July next The Ameri-
can producers have agreed to restrict
their exports of copper to Europe, in con-
sideration for which the Spanish produ-
cers have pledged themselves to cut
down their production 8 per, cent. The
object of this agreement is of course to
bring about higher level of prices"
Whether or not the producers can sue
cessfully hold together to put prices
back where they were during the exist
ence of the great copper combine in
1889, it is certain that there has been
left for them duty Of II cents per
pound, which was about all Mckinley
could do to invite another copper trust to
repeat the outrage perpetrated in 1889
upon the American people. Ii viii be
remembered that in 1899 the copper trust
sold American copper SO much cheaper
in Europe that it was reimported and
sold at profit here after paying duty
of four cents per pound, and from April
to August. 1889, the foreign price never
exceeded eight cents and the domestic
price was never less than twelve cents.
But for the duty no such difference could
have existed and the effects of the French
syndicate upon our industries would have
been as slight as they were upon Europe
an industries
The effect Of high prices for raw ma
terials of any kind is farreaching and
disastrous. How the consumers of cop
per were affected by the high prices of
1883 is described by James Powell, presi-
dent of the Union Brass company, of
Cincinnati, in The Engineering and
Mining Journal Of Jan. 10, 1899:
"When the syndicate began brass
workers all over the country were fully
employed at good wages, and while the
demand for goods may not have been
kept up at all times with the same vigor,
yet the price Of the raw material was
such as to afford a living profit to the
copper producer only.
"The consumption of brass goods for
steam, water and gas has fallen off from
25 to 40 per cent, with no immediate
prospect Of an improvement. The ma
nipulations of the combine have been the
most disastrous calamity for the general
copper consuming industries of this
country that has ever befallen them
AS evidence that the American end Of
this agreement" is made in good faith,
it is reported from Marquette, Mich,
that general strike is imminent at the
great Calumet and Hecla copper mine.
The company instead of acknowledging
openly that they intend to restrict pro-
duction by closing the mine, announce
that they will discharge all employees
who are members of the Knights of
Labor or of any other labor organization.
They know that this will not only pre-
cipitate long struggle that will restrict
production, but it will give them an op-
portunity to utilize cheap 'scah" labor
when they are ready to resume opera
tons, and perhaps to starve some of the
strikers into accepting lower wages.

A startling Army.

The proclaimed purpose of the Nc
Kinley tariff is to enable American EN-
ployers to pay higher wages to Ameri-
can workingmen. Yet diligent search
and much challenging have failed to
discover single workingman who re-
joices in any such benefit, while Mr..
John De Witt Warner has collected for
the New York Weekly World truly
startling list of cases in which reduc-
tons have been made in the wages of
men employed in the shops and mines Of
protected capitalists. His list includes
reductions in II iron and steel factories,
10 in coal companies, is in wooden and
worsted mills, ~ in clothing factories,
a in cotton mills or groups of cotton
mills, 2 in pottery establishments, 2 in
glass works and 80 in miscellaneous in
dustries. The reductions have ranged
from to 80 per cent. and have affected
thousands of workmenand their families.
