HOPS AND THE TARIFr.

At this time, when our farmers are busy
gathering their hops, it is fair to remind
them OF the effect of the Mckinley tariff
upon hops, one Of the largest and most
profitable crops in this section of Wash
ington. Since the Mckinley law went
into effect hops have averaged about Is
cents pound at the East, and this year
the price in the hop-growing sections OF
New York has advanced to % cents. The
present advance is due to the short crop at
the East, but the price could not long be
maintained without the increased protec-
ton given hops by the Mckinley tariff.
Under the tariff OF 1888 the duty on hops
was but cents pound. In 1856. when
the crop was nearly failure, the price ad-
vaneed to % cents, but tbs immense i'm
portations, possible under the low duty of
1882, depressed il to Is cents, and the hop
growers, owing to insufficient protection,
were obliged in 1856 to face short crop
and low prices at the same time. Under
the Mckinley tariff the duty on hops was
raised from cents to Is cents a pound,
and with this protection the advanced
prices consequent upon tWo-tniruS crop
will not be broken down suddenly by
enormous importations of foreign hops.
As 1t is with hops, so it is with other
farm products of Washington; the in
creased protection given by the Mckinley
tariff to all agricultural products saves
our home market from invasion and cap
turc by the Canadian farmer. The farm.
ers of the Northern portion Of the United
States can produce all the hay, hops, bar
ley. potatoes, eggs. etc.. which its people
require. but until the Mckinley tariff was
enacted Canada was able through her
cheaper farm labor to invade our home
market and sell its surplus agricultural
products to our consumers. The McKin-
ley tariff came to the rescue Of our farmers,
and by increasing the protection to farm
ers' products compelled the Canadian
farmer 10 pay so heavily for the privilege
Of our market that Canadian agricultural
exports have greatly decreased to the ad-
vantage OF the pocket of the American
farmer

Thy Democracy have burned their FIN
gers badly in trying to turn the strikes to
political advantage by holding the pro-
tectivs tariff responsible for the industrial
insurrection. As usual the Democracy
have "shot their granny" The congress
sional investigation revealed the fact that
at Homestead even the most ignorant and
unskilled laborers received $l.40 to sl.6s
per day. and substantially all the skilled
labor more than 81 per day, while quite q
large percentage Of skilled workers re-
ccivsd 81 per day, and from that to $40, or
even more.
These wages were an effective, conclusive
answer to this assertion of Cleveland and
Stevenson that protection does nothing
for labor" The congressional investiga-
ton also made it clear that under protec-
ton home competition had been able to
20 greatly reduce the prices of products in
the iron and steel industry that nobody
who Is sane, intelligent and candid can
afford to repeat Cleveland's cry, '"Fhe
tariff 10 tax"
The attempt OF the Democracy TO turn
the dissatisfaction OF the strikers to polit-
icai advantage was "A miserable failure, for
the governors of Pennsylvania, New York
aud Tennessee are all Democrats. The
Use of troops to repress lswless violence
has been invoked by Democratic govern
ors, 81 that responsibility for the presence
of the militia cannot he exclusively
charged 20 the account Of the Republicans
Finally the alarm created by the violence of
the rloting strikers has increased the
number Of conservative people who be-
lieve that the present is not a good year
10 vote out OF power the only party that
never hesitates TO enforce law aud preserve
order. So the Democracy in trying to
make the industrial strikes very nettle
of danger TO Republican success have
only succeeded In helping us to pluck the
flower of party safety and success out of
the threatening situation.
The Democratic demagogues have thus
succeeded in making 1t clear that prosec-
tion does help labor 10 keep its wages from
sinking TO the level of the wages OF free
trade England: have succeeded in making
IL clear that the protective taria on iron
and steel manufactures is NOT tax.
and have succeeded in STRENGTHENING the
hold of the Republican party upon the
confidence and support OF the great con.
classes OF the country.

We would soon feel tidal wave Of shoddy
glish goods under tariff for revenue only,
which means, of course, free wool, free
lumber, free coal, free hops, free iron, ETC.,
while the farmers sugar, tea and coffee
would be taxed
The passage of free wool bill would
reduce the revenues s26. 900. 600. unless i'm
ports enormously increased. This would
mean The loss of employment to millions
of American workmen, and would bank
rupt American mills to an unprecedented
extent. In 1888 the WOODEN mills of the
country we're described in the New York
World as bankrupted by the tarH, and the
Philadelphia Times credited Delaware
county alone with 1.5OO idle wooden WORK
ingmen. Today the wooden industries
are prosperous. as the Boston Herald
Dem. confesses when it says:
Where is the idle wooden mill today? Indeed,
there is none, or the number is so few that they
not worth counting. Not only is the great
majority of the wooden mills employed. but
many of the manufacturers are contemplating
engagements and Improvements, or sucn en-
largements and Improvements are already be-
gun. What does all this mean? 1t means
simply the greatest consumption of wool that
the country has known for years.
There never was 80 much wool con-
sumed by American mills as today, and
never were so many persons employed in
the wooden business, and the mills are
making better goods and at lower prices
than under the act of 1888 they could
afford to sell imported goods for. A
Bradford, England, wooden manufacturer,
who has recently removed his business to
the United States. writes the Philadelphia
Press that he has been paying to American
weavers, under the Mckinley bill. $l3
week for the same work and on the same
loom for which he paid So. Is week in Eng
land. His experience develops the fact
that in his business labor in the United
States is paid two to four times as much as
in England. There the employer gets the
larger share Of the profit. while here the
laborer gets 1t. But with greater demand
for their goods here they can afford to take
less profit. He also declares that, in the
aggregate, food, rent and clothing cost the
workman about the same in both coun-
tries, only the American lives in much
better manner.
