A. W. Sifton presided, and introduced
Capt. McCafferty. The speaker has all the
traits characteristic of the Irish race, and
in speaking illustrates his points in such a
practical manner that he wins the closest
attention of his audience. He dealt
largely with the tariff in its relation to the
commercial connection of the United
States with England. In the course of his
remarks he said:

A Startling Record.

1t is to be remembered that manufac-
lures in this country have not been pros
porous during the past year, and that
the decrease in imports has not been off
set by home production. The enormous
taxes levied have simply compelled
thousands of the people OF the United
States to do without these necessaries,
while other thousands have bought them
at the cost of heavy tribute either to
an extravagant government or TO PAM
pered trusts. 1t is record which should
make sensible men pause and think

PROTECTION IN PRACTICE.
An In controvertible Statement Made BY
q Technical Magazine.

An In controvertible Statement Made By
Technical Magazine.
The Engineering and Mining journal
gives an exceedingly valuable illustra-
ton of the manner in which protec-
tive tariff raist its benefciaries above
the operations of the national law of
trade.
The illustration concerns steel rails,
which are now "a ton higher than they
were in 1885, although the cost of pro-
duction and the tariff tax are less and
the demand is light. The command of
the market by reason of the tariff on
rails and the ownership of the Besse-
mer patents has enabled the rail makers
to fix arbitrarily the price of their pro-
ducts.
The American manufacturers make
much of the fact that improved ma
chinery has greatly increased their out
put, and The Journal estinSates that the
cost of producing steel rails, when the
manufacturer makes his own pig, can
not exceed $50 ton. In 1885 steel rails
sold at $26 a ton, and the cost of Besse-
mer pig alone was $40. At $50 a ton
the profits on the annual output of steel
rails is necessarily between $4,000, 900
and $12, 900, 900.
That the protective tariff gives this
enormous dividend to the makers, who,
instead of increasing wages are trying to
cut them down, is shown by an exami-
nation of English prices. In May, 1892,
English rails sold for $19.44. The duty
on this-S13. 4-would make the price
$39. SS, not counting freight and insur-
ance. 1t is clear therefore that $50 is
the price at which the English rails can
be kept out. While the English price
has fallen since 1885 from S23. II a ton to
1914, the price of English pig has risen
from $1,000 a ton to S12. 10.
In other words, the English maker
pays SLAB more for his pig and gets
1913 less for his rails. At the same
time, while the price of American rails
advanced from 500 to $50 ton, the
price of American pig fell from 81 to
$14 ton, SO that the American maker
paid So less for his pig and got "a more
for his product.
This gain ne keeps for himself.-New

THE fundamental falsisy of Mckinley
ism is shown by its innumerable self-con-
tradictions says the Ottawa Free Trader.
In his late campaign speeches he is con-
stsntly repeating that substantially
everything that protection directly af-
fects has been reduced in price. except
labor" 1t is admitted that the only ra :
tional object of protection is to enable
the manufacturer to get better prices for
his goods. If that object is defeated.
and the effect has been to reduce his
prices. how can he raise his workmen's
wages! Again. if the effect of a protec
tive tariff is TO reduce the price of the
commodity upon which the tariff is laid.
why should tariff be levied on the
farmers commodities. the prices of the
farmers products being thereby reduced?

Just Plain, Downright Robbery.

The worst feature of tariff protection
is that the schemers who are to be bene-
flied are called in by the ways and means
committee and consulted as to the
amount and kind of taxes they want on
foreign goods that might compete with
theirs, and the people who do not get
any benefit have to pay the tax in ignor-
ance. 1t is robbery. The robbery will
continue just SO long as the sufferers al
low it. The beneficiaries would never

So far from corrobora.ing the report OF

Peck's report distinctly antagonizes it in

he wrote a letter to W. h. Greenhow, of

partner. which we quote in full.
ALBANY. May 10. 1892 4 was glad to
se., you take up the Times assertion tnat
my reports proved that workingmen had
received increased wages, and reply to II
as you did 1 notice, however, that
the same paper of yesterday again re-
fers to nv report OF 1891. II claims that
i
OF advanced wages for 1891 and
9. OS5 cases in which the hours of labor
were shortened, while it records only AL
cases of reduction. Whether the Times
has purposely attempted to deceive It's
readers don't pretend to say, taken from
this bureau report of 1890 and 1891, t. e
year before the Mckinley bill went INTO
effec. and not the year after. as 1t would
have the public believe.
However it makes no special differ
ence for the reason, as you clearly set
forth, that in every instance of either the
increase of wages or shortening OF hours
it was the direct result Of the demands
of organized labor, and for no other con-
ceivable Gauss. When my report for
1891 does come out the Times and al the
protection papers of the whole country
will have to stand from under. L am
tabulsting the data and statistics of the
industrial census l have taken Tor the
year before and the year after the Nc
Kinley bill went into effect, and enough
has been demonstrated to warrant me in
claiming that it will furnish the most
complete refutation of the theories Of the
protectiouists in regard to wages that has
ever been published.
I shall also continue the results OF all
labor disturbances occurring in the state
during the past year. and show that ont
of the thousands of successful strikes
for increase of wages, not ore was or IS
attributed to protection. And L shall
show from the manufacturers themselves
that in no single instance where there
was an increase of wages was 1t volun-
tary on their part. Except in individual
cases every increase was the result OF the
demand on the part of employees en-
forced through their organizations.
CHARLES F. PECK
At the time this letter was written. as
Mr.. Peck says. he had carefully exam
ined all the data before him and gave
his conclusion. The defeat of Mr.. Hill
at Chicago seems to have changed his
views, and the president eagerly seizes
upon report plsinly prompted by malice
against his opponent, and adopts it as
the chief authority on which he relies in
his letter of acceptance. Peck and Har-
rison seem to be about the same size.
