There j. apparently an error In the
cost of living for families engaged In
the American wooden industry. as their
expenses are doubtless about as great

surplus earnings in the United States
are Si7 per year; in Great Britain, s54:

note that in this industry the annual
amount spent per family for amuse-

IN SPITE OF THE TARIFF,

We supply the World with stoves. Hut
Must Import Porcelain Goods.
about two years ago was telling q
friend what an outrageous measure
thought the Mckinley tart fl bill was,
when used my own warehouses as an
illustration Of the fact that the tariff
question is largely one Of self-intcrest, !"
said Jordan l.. Mott. president Of the
Mott stove works, 70 Times reporter
Yesterday. 'Some newspaper writer
has just heard the story. and has quoted
me as saying things which are not only
wide 81 the facts. but which have no
bearing on the tariff"
Mr.. Mott had just been reading an
article from an evening paper in which
he was represented as pointing 20 some
OF the stoves in one Of his warehouses
and saying: If it Were not for the
tariff on these we would still be import
ing stoves from abroad. We export
them now instead Of importi ng them =
This was supposed to show that Mr..
Mott was at that moment supporter
Of protective tariff.
In the same article Mr.. Mott was rep
resented as pointing TO some imported
porcelain goods with this remark about
the duty on them: 1T Is nothing short
Of an outrage. We can't import these
at anything like the price we used TO-
| yet they have to BE- sold at the old
schedule" This was supposed To indi
cate that when speaking Of porcelain
Mr. Mott was opposed to protective
tariff

small that no one would build plant

entire demand. SO that the tariff On
these Is bad for the buyer.
Now. as to Stoves" continued Mr..
Mott How can tariff on them herr
lead TO their export II. as the article
indicates, free trade would have sup
piled our market from England? WI,

perhaps, now and then one as curio

Reciprocity So-Cs.Iled Pretentlous sham
The True Article Must Begin NJ Home.
II must be evident to any candid and
thoughtful student Of the conditions Of
trade:
1. That the countries south Of US COM
tain an agricultural and nomadic popu-
lation, composed largely Of races and
nationalities who have comparatively
little commerce and from whom we can
expect but little exchange. Ben Butter
worth dwelt upon this fact in 1890.
when he ridiculed the idea Of hunting
for markets south Of us--as has beeB
quoted by Mr. Brookshire.
2 That while we may considerably
increase our exports 20 these countries,
such increase must consist largely ~
manufactured articles. and that these
countries are likely to take less rather
than more Of our agriculture products
3. That, in the future rs in the past,
30 per cent. Of our agricultural products
must 20 to Europe. where the prices for
all, even that sold in our own markets,
are largely determined.
g. That the one market. which takes
nearly two-thirds Of our agricultural
exports and which. more than all others,
determines our prices, is free trade
market, and cannot therefore be af-
fccted by any reciprocity treaty.
;. That therefore, reciprocity can be
Of little or no benefit 70 the farmer.
/ A few more observations may be
made:
1. The reciprocity clause is contrary Ia
the spirit, If not TO the letter, Of our
constitution. in that it confers on
others than the peoples Representatives
in congress the power to levy taxes.
I 2. II permits the president TO levy .
tax Of nearly 500, 900, 900 on our people,
| IL. in his opinion. other countries do not
sufficiently reduce the tax on their PEG
pie.
3. II will therefore, by taxing tea,
coffee, sugar and hides, add 70 the bur
den upon our farmers, which. As We
have seen, IL can in no way tighten.
4 II Is likely to lead TO entanglina
alliances with nations, and TO cause
rctaliatory Legislation that may do
more harm than good even TO our manu-
| facturers
| 5. Its prctcnses, like those Of PRO
| lection are shams. and its arguments
sophistical.
| .. II is put forward BY politician
who, but for it, as Senator Hale adj
mittcd January -, 1892, would not nov
be in power; and by manufacturers wh<
will support any system that Is likely
TO prolong their present monopoly u
our market and extend this monopoly
to foreign markets.
:. The only reciprocity that can hclT
the farmers must. like true charity, b.
gin at home. II must allow him 20 buy
1 In the same kind Of a market in which
he Is compelled 70 scll--a free trade
one. No legislation can cnchancc The
price Of what he has 70 sell; Il must
then, To help him, lower the price b
what he has 70 buy. This II can do BY
lowering the duty on imports. This 4

can benefit the farmer. Conclusion 81

even for few months ahead There
is, however, no need ut all for any pro-
lection. as. according to the testimony
Of Warner Miller. Howard Lockwood
and other large paper manufacturers,
all kinds of paper are made cheaper
here than abroad. The New York
Press Of July -, 1883, says that the legal
cost Of a ton Of paper in Schuyler county,
New York, is eight dollars and eighty
seven cents while il is thirteen dollars
and forty-six cents in English mills.
! The duties on bronze powder and
dcxtrine. used for coloring wall paper
both of which were increased by tho
Mckinley bill. handicap our manufact
urers considerably These increases
caused the price Of bronze powder to nd
vance from thirty-six to forty'tiv cents
and Of dextrine from four and one
4 fourth to five and one-fourth cents pei
pound--tall bronze powder and all good
dextrinc are imported. This increase
amounts to six or eight thousand dol
lars per year for our manufacturers
Notwithstanding this fact our manu-
facturers export about one hundred
thousand dollars worth Of wall paper 9
year. With cheaper raw material v.
could export more than any other coun
! try.
That wages are not favorably affected
by tariffs. which neccssitate or permit
high prices. is clearly demonstrated By
the fact that wages were no highe'
