THE TWO SIDES.
American Manufacturers Sell Goods
Cheaper Abroad Than at Home.

American Manufacturers Sell Goods
Cheaper Abroad Than at Home.
Where they are able to get untaxed
raw material our manufacturers can ex-
port goods at profit. We have good
export business in leather and leather
goods, and considerable export trade
in agricultural implements. In this lat
ter branch home and foreign trade lists
show that our manufacturers give their
foreign customers heavy discount
from their American wholesale prices.
This of course they are obliged to do
to get the trade, as foreigners are not
obliged by law to pay Mckinley prices.
When European plows are offered in
South America at 40 per cent. under
Mckinley prices, our exporting manu-
facturers must cut Al per cent. or lose
the trade. This is so plain that it is self
evident; yet some manufacturers have
been inconsiderate enough to deny 1t.
Mr.. A. p. Farquhar, the head of the
Pennsylvania Agricultural works, is
more candid, however. He sells largely
both at home and abroad, and he makes
no pretense that he tries to keep up Nc
Kinley prices when outside the lines Of
the Mckinley tariff.
He declares that he is ready to meet
competition on the merits Of his goods.
"The farmer is being destroyed" he
says. "We are killing the goose that
lays the golden eggs; and honestly be-
heve now that it is to the interest of the
manufacturers to eliminate the protec-
tive feature from our tariff laws. Ger
tainly if our manufactures are sold
much lower abroad we could only need
protection to get better prices from our
customers at home. We do manufac-
ture and sell in Canada, South America
and Europe many agricultural imple-
ments and machines, and could we have
free raw material and the commercial
advantages which free trade would give
US, America would become the great
manufacturing emporium of the world,
and the farmer of course would share
the prosperity, since he would have less
to pay for everything and get better
prices for all he sold"
This is common sense, but so long as a
manufacturer believes in artificial Nc
Kinley prices and shrinks from COM
petition on the merits of his goods, 1t is
idle to expect him to show common
sense. But it is even more idle for Nc
Kinley manufacturers to deny that they
sell cheaper abroad than they do at
home, if they sell abroad at all. If they
did not, ON what grounds would thev
ask the American people to go on pay
ing Mckinley taxes to protect them at
home from the competition they meet as
soon as they get beyond the lines of
Mckinley custom houses.-St. Louis

Proctor's "High" Wages.

Mr.. Proctor points with pride to the
high wages paid in his Vermont factory,
which are the lowest market rate, for,
in the event that his worl1men kick, he
knows perfectly that under our blessed
tariff he can telegraph and in few
weeks fill their places with the pauper
marble cutters of Europe, for whose
coming our thoughtful tariff makers
have left wide open the gates Of Castle
Garden. Taxes on all the American
workingman uses-and plenty, liberal
taxes-but free trade in all foreign pau
per labor, save the Chinaman, have been
the making of Redfield Proctor, Andrew
Carnegie and 100000 other tariff pets,
who, in the name Of American high
wages, have absorbed into their pocket
books about roper cent. Of all the wealth
of the United es.-Goshen On. "

WISCONSIN SAFELY DEMOCRATIC.

spoonor VIII BE Whipped Again and
Peck VIII Remain Governor.
Until two years ago Wisconsin was
.classed as almost inyincibly Republican.
The magnificent Democratic victory OF
1890 placed the state in the doubtful
column. II may now be removed from
that column and classed as safely Demo
cratic.
BY placing John @. Spooner at the
head Of their state ticket, Wisconsin Re
publicans have shut themselves out
from any hope of reprieve from the SEN
tence of popular condemnation passed
upon them two years ago. They have
enrolled themselves under the banner OF
professional lobbyist, corporation agent
and itching politician. Overwhelmingly
repudiated by his state two years ago.
when a Democratic legislature was
elected to choose his successor in the
United States senate, John G. Spooner
is fitted only to lead his party In Wis
consin 10 fresh defeat and humiliation
as its gubernatorial candidate. The
man of whom his own party organ, the
Milwaukee Sentinel, confessed that he
had been known "for many years past
as the chief of the corporation lobbyists
in Madison" Is not the Moses to lead
Wisconsin Republicans out Of the will
derness.
On the tariff and tho school issues
Hoard and Spooner were defeated in
Wisconsin two years ago, and on these
same issues Harrison and Spooner will
be defeated in Wisconsin next Novem-
Der. The national Democracy is now
enlisted with Wisconsin Democrats In
the battle for parental rights and
rights Of conscience in the education OF
children" in behalf Of which, as an "es-
sential to civil and religious liberty
the Chicago platform makes a ringing
declaration.
Governor Peck will be his own sue
cessor, and the electoral vote Of Wis
consin will be cast for the Democratic
presidential ticket.-St. Paul Globe.

RECIPROCITY A SHAM.
ITS Pretensions Mountain High; Its Ac-
complishments Mole Hills.

ITS Pretensions Mountain High; It's Ac-
complishments Mole Hills.
In his bright and somewhat effective
campaign speech in Springfield, Ills.,
Whitelaw Reid came finally to consider
Republican reciprocity and inquired
dramatically:
ASK the people if they want to throw
away policy that in the first few
months brings such results because the
Democratic convention chooses to call it
a sham"
Reciprocityi is not denounced as sham
because of the favorable trade results
which it produces, and of these there are
undoubtedly some, but it is denounced
as sham because it pretends to estab-
lish reciprocal trade relations for the
purpose of extending tho commerce OF
the nation and furnishing market for
its surplus agricultural products, when,
as matter Of fact, it has been so de-
signed as to apply only to the petty'na-
tions of South America who make little
or no demand for our agricultural prod
ucts, while the great nations of the Old
World, which would readily become our
customers if McKinleyism did not for
bid, are compelled to seek elsewhere as
far as possible to exchange their goods
for the breadstuffs and provisions which
America can so readily supply. The
pretensions Of reciprocity are mountain
high; its accomplishments resemble the
mole hill. If there be any virtue in the
idea of reciprocity it is the virtue which
tariff reformers preach in their agi ation
for lower tariffs, so that trade may DO
freed from the shackles which now
bind it to the detriment of the importing
as well as exporting countries.
Reciprocity as now in vogue is sham
because it does not apply to countries
with which it would be effective to slim
ulate trade.
Reciprocity is a sham because 1t is
slillfully designed as chiefly to promote
the sale of tariff enriched manufacturers.
Reciprocity is q sham because it is the
sugar coating around the protection pill
which the farmers of the west are asked
to swallow.
Reciprocity Is n sham because whiie
designed to benefit the manufacturers OF
the east, who seek markets in South
America, it pretends to be designed for
tho farmers of the west, who really need.
however, reciprocity or tariff reform

ions and breadstuffs in the great mark

"In the Cheering up Business" con
tains the brave conclusion reached by a
young girl who persistently tries to bring
sunshine into the lives Of others that she
finally becomes known as the "joy giver.
"If there is only one thing in life
which is bright and pleasant" she said,
"that | mean to hold fast; and if there
isn't such thing, I'll make it. I'll be
it myself"
Perhaps she was helped in her hearty
and healthy way of taking life by the re-
mark of an old doctor, who had called to
see another member Of the family and
asked:
"Whaps the matter with her ow?'
"Oh," said the young girl, 81 suppose
it's her nerves.
NERVES nerves. p cried the doctor
seemingly in an alarming rage. "My
dear young lady, l adJure you oy al
your hopes of happiness, don't let that
word get into your vocabulary. There's
no such thing Indigestion, dyspepsia, II
you like, but not nerves !?
That he was fond of exaggeration, no
one can doubt; still the lesson he would
have taught was a sensible one. When
we allow ourselves moods of i'll temper
or weakness because we are nervous,
then we need remember that the soul is
stronger than the body. We need to
look about US and see whether or not we
can make some one else happy.
For" says the little heroine who be-
came a JOY giver, "if one is really dis
posed to bring people good cheer it is
wonderful to see what frequent oppor-
tunities there are. One might make it a
business !"

pending contest is the force bill. The
magnitude Of this issue cannot be over
stated. 1t may mean the control Of the

by its platform in its late national con-
yention, stands pledged TO the passage
OF the force bill.-Adlai f. Stevenson.

SOM.
rHE coNsuMER pAYs THE Du

THE CONSUMER PAYS THE DUTY.
QUESTION say the American con-
sumer pays the duty on protected articles,
and that this duty increases the cost?
ANswER-Yes.
@. But the advocates of protection assert
that the foreign manufacturer pays the
duty, and it does not fall on the American
consumer.
A. The assertion is untrue aud absurd.
If it were true it would be M easy thing to
make foreign manufacturers pay the whole
cost of our government, and we would all
be in favor of the policy Besid :, the per
fection Of protection is pr,hibiliou-mak-
ing the protective duties 50 high as to pre-
vent the importation of foreign articles, en-
tirely. But, if no goods were imported,
there would be no duties ot all, and oi
course no customs revenue to the govern
ment. But still, the American people
would be paying the cost of keeping cheap
foreign goods out of the country, in paying
exorbitant prices for goods to the home
manufacturers. The home manufacturers
would have an absolute monopoly of the
home market, and they would charge their
own prices.
@. But when foreigner sends goods to
this country, does he not pay the duty
on them before he can get them through
the Custom House.
A. Yes. But he adds this duty to the
price, and the customer who buys the goods
has to pay it, so that it falls upon the con-
sumer at last. The protectionists are in
the habit of talking about foreigners send
ing their goods to our country and seeking
market for them here whereas the prac-
tice is very different. Foreign manufactur-
ers do not send their goods here to be sold,
but we buy them when we want them and
bring them, or have them brought to this
country They are the property of our cit
izens when they are entered at the Custom
House, and it is an American importer, not
a foreign manufacturer who really pays the
duty on them.
@ Is it not better, as a rule, to keep our
money at home by buying from our own
manufacturers
A. Certainly, when our own manufactu-
rers sell as cheap as foreigners will But it
is pretty hard on an American citizen to be
compelled by his government year after
year, for more than quarter of century,
to buy from the home manufacturer and
pay him $3.50 for what he could get from
foreigner for SlOO. The difference
amounts to a good many hundrod-in some
cases to a good many thousand dollars, in
the course Of ten years aud while he is
doing this for the Eastern home manufact-
urer a thousand miles off, the Eastern man
ufacturer is doing nothing for him 1t is a
one sided business.
Q. But if the Northeastern states buy
Missouri meats and breadstuils, ought we
not to buy their manufacturers
A. Yes, if we can get them on equal
terms. But while we sell them meat and
breadstulls cheaper than they can buy them
abroad, they do not sell us manufactured
goods as cheap as We could get them
abroad. They charge Us % per cent. high
er, and the tariff law forces Us to pay the
price. To make the thing even, the law
ought ,mpel them to pay Western far
mers 90 per cent above the market price
for meats and breadstuffs

$1,000 WORTH OF GOODS FOR 81 800.

$1,000 WORTH OF GOODS FOR 81 800.
@. When we import goods from Europe,
do we send the money to pay for them?
A. No we pay for them in articles we ex-
port-chefy farm products.
@. Then 81 600 worth of Missouri wheat
will buy 81 600 worth of English goods in
Liverpool?
A. Yes.
Q. How much will it cost to get those
goods into Missouri mean how much
will the tariff be on that quantity of Eng
lish goods?
A About so per cent-say $500.
@. Then it will take $500 worth of wheat
more, to pay this tariff
A. Yes
@. And so it will take 81 500 worth of
Missouri wheat to buy $1,000 worth of
English goods and get them through the
New York Custom House?
A. 1t will.
@. But suppose this wheat is sold in Bos-
ton, and the goods bought in Boston, how
will it be then?
A. Just the same, except that in the for
mer case the $500 duty goes to the govern
ment and in the latter to the Massachusetts
manufacturer In either case it takes 81 800
worth of Missouri wheat to buy $1,000
worth of goods.
