find that they are men who have profited
through som" special privilege granted by

! Charles S. Fill, a Republican protection
ist employed in the department of state,
declared on oath before the tariff commits
sion that in 1872 $4,000 hands in the
United States produced S. coo, 900 worth of
manufactured goods, while in the same
year ), LAC, 20G hands in England produced
only s4,OO0,G 600 worth of goods. In other
: words, American labor, measured by the
amount it produced, was worth nearly dou-
Bile what English labor was worth. Thus
the American manufacturer in that year
would have paid nearly 100 per cent more
wages than the English manufacturer and
still have been better of as to profits.
The New York Press, high protection
ist paper, declared q few years ago that the
labor cost in ton Of paper made at
Schuylerville, y. Y, was $3.50 less than
the labor cost of ton Of paper made in
England. The American paper maker
howaver, was paid IN average of 1896 per
year, while the average of the English
paper maker was considerably less Thirty
seven men at Schuylerville produced II 600
pounds Of paper daily, or an average Of
nearly thirty tons each. The average daily
product Of English paper makers was only
thirteen tons each.
According to The American Economist,
organ Of the Republican protectionists, the
average product of each manufacturjrp
operative in the United States was, in 1850
S1,105, and in 1880. So, 045. The average an

Wages and Labor Cost.

The more one knows about Republican
protection the less one believes in it, and
thorough knowledge of the subject would
put to flight the last particle Of faith in
this humbng still left among the people of
the United States. The most absurd pre-
tense as to protection is the pretense that
it enables protected manufacturers to
pay the difference between the wages Of
American and foreign workinSmen. It
does not, because in most protected indus
tries there is no such difference as the Re
publican protectionists pretend to discover.
The fact is that in most of these industries
American labor is the cheapest in the
world.
You will not believe this if you read
only Republican newspapers, for they take
care to compare only the day wages Of
Americans with the day wages of foreign
ers. and in most trades, whether protected
or not, American day wages are higher
than European day wages. 1t is easy
enough, however, TO show that this is not
a fair method Of comparison. One often
hears hustling housewife say that she'd
rather do piece of work herself than
save it to careless child or an unskillful,
lazy hired girl. Every farmer knows that
many a good hand is cheap at double the
wages Of an idle, shiftless fellow. The
woman who knows how to do things finds
1t cheaper and less wearing to mind and
body to Go them herself than to have them
done by g person who will do them so badly
that they must be done over. The farmer
would rather pay thirty-five dollars a
month to some hands than twenty dollars
to others. What is true Of the household
and the farm is true of the factory and the
, world in general. There is no mystery

ErnteCtinn tn E.rtnnrS

Is any farmer fooled by the pretense that
the Mckinley tariff protects farmers? It
pretended to do so Ivy raising the duty on
wheat, which was 80 per cent, to % per
cent; on corn, which was ten cents 8
bushel, to fifteen cents a bushel; on oats,
which VIE teE; cents q hushel, also to
fifteen cents a bushel The product Of
wheat in the United States in 1891 was
$50 100000 bushels, and the amount i'm
ported was S,216 bushels, while the amount
exported was more than 100 600, coo bushels.
Does any one suppose that we should have
sent out SO much and brought in so lit g
if foreign wheat had been cheaper than orr
own? The tariff on wheat might be put
up TO 500 per cent. without any other effect
than to increase the cost of what little
wheat of q kind not raised at home we i'll
port from abroad.
What is true of wheat is true of nearly
everything that the farmer raises. The
truth is that the farmer cannot be pro-
tected so long as he does not wish to raise
dollhouse bananas and other such things
which he has no desire to attempt. Mean
while Republican protection increases the
cost of fifty things which the farmer must
have

4 Word to Farm, e,.s.

Republican protectioniSts, when unable
to prove that their sort of protection in
creases wages, are fond Of saying that
at any rate it enables capitalists to 60 on
manufacturing and thus affords employ
ment to tie men who eat the products of
the farmer. IN this way they figure cut
that Republican protection protects the
farmer. TIE thing for the farmer they
say is the home market, and this Repub-
lican protection affords him.
But the argument will not bear exani-
nation. Mr.. @. Wood Davis, whose statis-
tics are frequently quoted by The Ameri-
can Economist organ Of the Repu blican
protectionists, finds that between 1850 end
1889 the population Of the United States
increased 173 per cent, while in the same
period our production of cattle increased
lS5 per cent; of cotton, POI per cent: of
corn, 257 per cent; Of wheat, $50 per cent.
and of oats, Ali per cent. Most Of those
years were years OK high protection, vet
what would have become Of the farmer if
he had been forced to depend for the sale
of his products upon the home market?
While population was not quite trebling,
the product ION Of cotton wax rather more
than trebled, that of corn was much more
than trebled, that Of wheat was vastly
more than trebled and that OF oats was
more than Gujntupled. Republican pro
tectionists say hat protection makes me- -e
men use the farmers products but het
we see that the farmer kept far ahead of
the growth of population. Crops must
have rotted on the ground had the farmer
been forced to depend on the home market
