HOW THE MsKisI3v Law nENE-
FITS A0aloULTONtoTe.


The organs Of the party which is now
before tho country as tho champion Of
the British or free-trade tariff theory
never cease their retteratiOn Of the as
sertion that the Mckinley tarff1 law has
not helped the farmer. A few oflcial
figures will show how false that assump-
ton II.
BY the old law, the duty on Imported
horses was 10 per cent Of their value.
As horses wcre appraised much below
their real value, say from SO to $50, the
duty was not sufficient to check the inn
port Of Canadian and Mexican horses.
The Mckinley law made tho duty $50 q
head for ali horses valued 81 less than
$50, and 30 per cent. ad val0rem for
those of that value. What has been the
result? During 1887, under the old law,
the value Of horses imported Was $2,052,-
346, while during 1891, under the
Mckinley law. 1t was $l,O73.8 79. That
is, the advance Of the duty kept out Of
u markets q million dollars worth OF
Canadian horses in 1891 and made room
Tor hOme-raised horses to that amount.
The duty on cattle was raised TO $40 per
head. The result has been that the Inn
pOrtation fell from $2O8, 80 under the
old law. In 1889, to $l2,S 57 under the
Mckinley law, In 1891. The old duty on
barley was 10 cents q bushel. but 1t was
raised to 80 cents. The result has been
that the importation OF barley has fallen
from VI, 25S, 2H in 1859 to $l,6sl. $40 In
1891. That 10, the keeping out Of for
eign barley In 1891 made 8 market for
1900, O00 bushels Of home-raised barley,

on hay was increased from 50 to 81 per

Fre. Trade and the s.eel-worker.

Steel bfllets have been selling at
$23. SO per ton. That Is equivalent to a
cent and q tenth a pound. The duty on
imported steel costing more than a cent
. pound is half . cent q pound or $40 on
. ton. That lie quite sufficient to pro-
tect the American agalnst the competi-
ton OF the foreign manufacturer.
Being well aware Of these facts, Mr..
Carnegie's workmen say: You have a
protection Of $40 q ton and you also
have the protection Of ocean and rail-
road freights. Being thus ~effectually
sheltered from English, French, German.
and Belgian competition, you can afford
to pay us the old wages. II 10 not fair to
charge the consumer $40 and pocket the
the proceeds yourselves, as our Demo-
cratic statesmen tell us you are doing.
We won't our share"
The reply Of the company is: We adj
init that we are not troubled by our for-
eign rivs's, but yoA lose sight OF the
fact that domestic competition has driv-
sumner 10 not charged nearly all OF that
ten dollars extra you speak OF. The
American steel he buys does not cost
him the foreign. price with ten dollars a
ton added, but only three o. fourdollars
: ton above the foreign price. More
steel 10 being maie Ia this country than
there are purchasers for. Many estab-

the employer to his men.
There is 40 question that domestic
competition has forced prices down till
steel sells for six dollars q ten below

only about four dollars core thaa 1t
