The gentlemen will tell Us that
Gods are cheaper to '.;,y than they
gere thirty years ago. 1t is true.
But if protection did it let them eX-
plain why 1t is not only he-e, where
we have potection, but III England,
where hey have free trade, goods
are cheaper than they were befor,.
1t was said by gentleman who
appeared before the committee, that
wool could be raised in Australia
for six cents pound, and that it
could not be raised in this country
for less than Is cents, and we are
told that is Il wise policy to SO tax
imported wool as 20 enable cur peO-
pie to raise wool at i2 cents pound
instead of buying it at siv cents a
pound; that we save money and give
employment to labor. If that prin-
cip!e is true, then it is wise to raise
wool at Is cents pound instead of
buying it at three cents, because we
save more in labor. If it is wise to
raise it 10 cents pound instead
of buying it at three, it is still wiser
to raise it at Is cents rather than
have somebody give it to uo.( Laugh
ter.)
If protection reduced the price of
wire nails, aad was put on for that
purpose, and reduced the price of
tin plate, and was prt on for that
pu pose, Was that the reason why
the republican party increased the
tariff on wheat, because they wanted
to reduce the price.

average price of tik plate tor 1888

plause on the democrat side.) This
is given on the authority the tin
plate consumers association Of the
United States, which has in its ranks
a large majority of those who use
tin.
We agree that there were consum-
ed in this cOnntry about 100000, 900
pounds of binding twine. We agree
that if tariff of seven-tenths of 1
per cent, is added t. the price of the
binding-twine that it costs the peo-
pie of this country 100000 because
of that tariff. We agree also that
no twiue was imported, ard that no
revenue was received by thegoyern-
ment from this source. Therefore,
if this was tax upon the consumer,
it was a tax of 100000 taken out OF
the peoples pocket, not one cent of
which reached the treasury. Ac-
cording 70 the Mckinley idea, that
is an ideal tariff it embraces the
maximum of burden with the mini
um of revenue. Laughter. Con

a woman who lectured the other day on

carrying of an umbrella was looked upon
AS an evasion OF the traditional means OF
