What the Tariff Costs the Farmer.

As an example is always better than
an argument, l will present to the reader
an actual transaction under the McKin-
ley bill, which has been furnished me
through the kindness of friend in New
York.
He says, under date of Feb. II: 81 re-
ceived shipment this week from Man
chester containing a number of cases of
dress goods, mostly all wool, and some
woolen and worsted cloths, also some
cotton warp dress goods. Entered value,
$2,631. Packing is accountable for $19
of this, the value of the cloth being
$2,612. paid $2,621.0 duty. OF course
the consumers, public at large, will
eventually pay this"
Let us study this concrete example for
a moment:
We see that cloth and dress goods of
the value of $2,612 cost the importer
s., 5,233.05, which sum he must get back
from the consumers of the goods with
his profits upon the transaction.
The goods imported are among the
necessaries in our country and climate,
and not the mere luxuries of those who
are rlch or eXtravagant.
The farmer or the laborer buys these
goods for his wife and children, and be-
lieves when he puts down on the store
counter dollar of his earnings that he
| is getting a dollars worth of goods,
when in fact he is paying more than
half of the money for the tax and the
profits of the tax of several middlemen
that have been secretly wrapped up in
the goods
These goods are also largely made in
this country. They would not be i'm
ported unless they could be sold here
for cost and tax and fair profit on
both Except for the tax we could buy
them for the cost and fair profit on it.
The tariff tax which the government
mixes with them before it allows them
to pass into the clothing of the people
thus more than doubles their cost, and
at the same time increases by like
amount the price at which similar
homemade goods can be sold to the
people. This last is the purpose for
which it is levied.
The labor cost of producing these
6ooio III bliio SouuIi 10 ilOI llOTe Undn
90 per cent. greater than the labor cost
in Manchester, and but for tariff on
wool that actually depresses the value
of our native wool, but increases the
cost of the foreign woods needed for
mingling with our native grades to
make these goods, the cost of material
would be the same in both countries.
Let the farmer and laborer now sit
down and figure out to his satisfaction,
if he can, why law of congress should
be made to compel him to give two
bushels of his wheat or two days of his
labor for the same quantity of necessary
goods that he could, but for such law,
procure with less than one bushel of his
wheat or less than one day of his labor.

The socialists of Chicago have passed
a red-hot resolution denying that their
own theories bear any resemblance to
the destructive proposition advanced by
the anarchists. They denounce the an
archists with great bitterness and an
nounce that they are prepared to assist
the State in suppressing anarchy and its
followers. Although they are frequent
ly confounded, socialism and anarchy
represent two Numerically opposite ten
dencies of society. Socialism aims at
construction. Anarchy aims at destruc-
tion.
The socialist advocates a change in
government which will centre industrial
and legislative control directly in the
State. In an ideal socialism the individ-
ual man would be a minute portion of a
great mechanism which would be sup
posedly rnn in the interests of the COM
munity as a whole.
Anarchy, on the other hand, means
the overthrow of governmental machin-
cry oil every kind. Man is to be ham,
pered by no restraints or restrictions of
any kind, and may comfort himself as
suits his own sweet will. Theory aside,
this means return to a bowling state of
barbarism. 1t is no wonder that the So
cialist objects to being placed in the same
category with the anarchist, who advo-
Gates the overthrow of government and
the use of bombs.
Socialism is undesirable because it
would crush the individual and make
him the creature of tyranny. Yet it con-
tains many germs of good, and many of
its theories, such as government control
of railroads, telegraphs, and the munich
pal control of light, heat and water plants,
may be applied with excellent results.
Anarchy, on the other hand, is DESC
late, destructive creed, and has not in it
a single element of good.

Port Philip fleece has averaged higher
for thirteen years and lower for twelve
years than Ohio medium fleece. For the
twenty-five years ending in 1890 Ohio
medium has averaged 41.49 cents per
pound, and Port Philip fleece Al. .0S cents
per pound, showing a difference in
favor of the former of 40 cents. If we
eliminate the prices for 1871 and 1872,
when speculation was rampant in this

difference in favor of the latter of .26
cents per pound. During the whole
period both woods have risen and fallen

Cleveland Must be the Nominee.

1t is manifest that the Cleveland tide
is rising fast. With the single exception
of New York, whose "snap' convention
declared for Hill, every State so far
heard from, either by its general conven-
tion or the preponderance of its district
delegates, has outspokenly favored Cleve-
lands nomination or sent delegates who
will vote for him.
So remarkable is the magic of his
name with Democrats that States with
"fayorite sons'' rate these only as second
choice. There is force and meaning in
this. The lesson is easy to read. The
people discredit politicians and spoils-
men. They are no longer to be swayed
by prejudice. They realize that corrup-
ton fourishes in both parties, according
to opportunities, and that the safety of
the Republic lies in the election to office
of honest, upright, intelligent men with
clear-cut, outspoken convictions.
1t is because Mr.. Cleveland rises to
these requirements, because, although
not better than his party, he is better
than its professional machinists, that a
demand from all parts of the country
comes for his nomination.
As to his election, that is bound to
follow. 1t may not come as easily as
it would have resulted had not the
idiotic element in the party on the one
hand and the demagogic element on the
other done their worst to make it diff
cult. There are thousands of voters
who were steadily tending to Democratic
support who are now hesitating, and
who may hold back altogether because
the effects of this folly and mischief are
irreparable.
But Grover Cleveland himself will be
guarantee to many others that what is
dreaded in this way will be controlled
by him in the Presidency. Above all,
his nomination will bring back the
people to the support of the great prin-
ciple embodied in tariff reform. Under
that sign it is not too late to conquer
The currency will be safe with Cleye-
land; good government generally may
expect more at his hands than at those
of any man, and tariff reform will
advance under his guidance. The clouds
that lowered over Democratic mis-
fortunes are in fair way to be dispeled
by his selection as the Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency.

PROTECTING SHODDY.
THE TARIFF ON WOOL AND WOoLENS
DEGRADES THE STANDARD.

Enormous Production of Cheap and
Nasty" Goods Since the Wool Tariff
Was Established-An Increase of 2.1S1
Per Cent. in Thirty Years.
Under the high tariffs on wool and
woolens since 1860 the growth of the shod-
dy industry has been phenomenal. Shod-
dy is comprehensive term, and in COM
mon parlance includes all the various
wool substitutes used in manufacturing,
except cotton, cows hair, etc. There
are two classes of shoddies; the first is
made from the waste pieces of woolen
goods left over in the manufacture of
ready made clothing, and the second
from old woolen rags collected from the
ash barrels and refuse heaps of our large
| cities. But like other industries, the
shoddy industry has grown to such an
extent that there have been added new
terms to describe the products which
formerly went under the general name
of "shoddy." Chief among these are
EXTRACTS" which are made from mixed
! cotton and woolen goods by the applica-
ton of an acid which eats out the cotton,
leaving the woolen fibers intact though
much impaired. AT the same time ex-
tracts are subdivided into two classes
first, those made from waste pieces of
cloth not in use, just as new shoddies
are produced, and second, those made
from old mixed rags picked up from all
conceivable places. Still another term
is used to describe a certain class of
shoddies. This is mungo, which applies
to the fibers produced from hard or su-
pertine rags by machinery specially
adapted for the purpose.
So great has been the improvement
in machinery used for working up shod-
dies, mungo and extracts that they are
now used in all classes of woolen goods,
and are so disguised as to be detected
with great difficulty.
The growth of the shoddy industry
cannot be better shown than by com
parison of the census figures since 1860.
The following table shows the number
of establishments, the capital invested,
the number of workmen employed and
the value of the products during each
census year:

Iowa is enjoying a published CORE
spondence between Marshall Field &
Co., of Chicago, and customer of the
Hawkeye State who had ordered lot
of Colbert muslin, the material com
monty used for ornamental window cur
tains. The order referred to similar
goods purchased before the Mckinley
bill went into effect, and the firm took
the precaution before sending the goods
to give notice that in the meantime the
price had advanced from ninety cents to
Sl.25 per yard. Nevertheless there are
some people who think that the foreign
manufactures pays the tariff tax.-In-

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-04-07

From a product of s402, $50, in 1860,
this industry has increased until, accord
ing to the census of 1890, the product is
$9,208,011, or an increase of 2.1S7 per
cent.
Though the growth of the woolen in
dustry as a whole, including the shoddy
industry, has been considerable since
1860, it has not been in proportion to
the growth of the shoddy industry. In
1860 the value of the woolen goods pro-
duced in the United States was $65, $685.
1854. In 1890, according to the last CEN
sus, the value of woolen goods was $685.
231 ,209, showing an increase since 1860
of Ais per cent. The value of the shoddy
product in 1890 shows an increase of 81
per cent over that of 1880, but the wool
en- industry as whole shows an increase
of only 26 per cent in 1890 over the prod
uct of 1880.
Nothing will show better the great
growth of the shoddy industry and its
present extent than the figures from the
census of 1890. In the following table
is shown for each of the large woolen
products the amount of wool used and
the amount of shoddies, extracts, cotton,
hair and other substitutes for wool:
