The legislature of New South Wales
is tackling the Immigration question
in a radical sort of way. A law
proposed prescribes conditions of
residence for foreigners already there,
restricts immigration of colored
races and absolutely prohibits
Asiatics, whether British subjects
or not. This may not become a law,
but it shows that this country is not
the only one where the color line is
drawn and where John Chinaman is
not welcome.

Enormous Sugar Profits,

The Sugar trust, Notwithstanding that
more than one-half of its $75, 900, 900
capital (one-half preferred and one-half
common stock is water, has just de-
clared dividend of IS per cent on the
common stock, due April 8. This in
cludes quarterly dividend of per cent
and 10 per cent from surplus profits,
mainly from 1892. In addition there are
s., 200. 900 of surplus earnings to March
/ and promised dividends of per cent
for the remainder of the year. The pre-
ferred stock gets its regular per cent
dividend.
Willett g Gray's Sugar Trade Journal
Is authority for the statement that the
trust had over $4,000, 900 quick cash
assets on March l, 1893" and "also $10,-
OOO, 900 bonds intact in the treasury for
contingent uses" 1t says investment
purchases of the common stock year
ago on our advice at present prices, as
given in our Statistical at that time,
have received see in dividends per share,
and purchasers of the stock now should
fare equally well during the coming IL
months"
It is evident that common stock is
earning about 30 per cent on its market

VESTED RIGHTS.

The Manufacturer Kicks Because He Cam
not Continue to Rob the People.
The protected manufacturers are be-
ginning to talk about "vested rights"
being jeopardized by change of policy
in regard to tariff fostered industries.
Ever since the birth Of our nation the
manufacturers have been especially ia
vored by legislation, and during the last
30 years they have practically had the
monopoly of our markets-the best in
the world. Each year 60,000,000 people
have been obliged to hold up their hands
while the manufacturers distracted from
$500, 100000 to $1,O0O,OOO,O0O from the
poorly filed pockets. The manufacture
ers have SO long been accustomed to
overhauling the pockets of the people
that they now regard it as vested right
and think this country is going to the
dogs because they have been told that
they must not take so much in the fu-
ture.
A few thousand pirates on the north
coast of Africa preyed upon the COM
MERGE of the Mediterranean sea for many
generations. Several nations of Europe
were purchasing exemption from rob-
berry Of their ships by paying annual
tribute to this band of pirates. The pi-
rates owned ships and fortrcsses and had
''vested rights" which were seriously dis
turbed when the victims, tired of pay
ing increasing exactions, decided to rid
the Mediterranean of these enemies of
commerce and of mankind. The pirates
not only lost their vested rights" to rob,
but their property and their means Of
earning a livelihood as well. And yet
they did not "squeal" or plead the "baby
act" as our protected industries are do
ing. They recognized that millions Of
people all over the world had vested
rights" which were impaired by piratical
distractions to commerce.
There is lesson in this for our manu-
facturers. They will not be harshly dealt
with. 1t is certain that they will not be
required to disgorge their past spoils,
and it is likely that they will be per-
mitted to continue to plumber those not
engaged in protected industries, though
they must be more modest in their de-
mands and recognize that farmers, and
even common laborers have "vested
rights" not yet mortgaged away to the
millionaires who have obtained their
wealth by legal robbery.

EXPOSED
THE FARMER AND LABORER RATTLE
THE MANUFACTURER.

They Prove That Protection Lowers Wages
and the Prices CT Farm Products, but In
creases the Cost of Manufactured Goods.
An Absurd Proposition.
Farmer-Why did you say you were
in favor of protective duties on manu-
featured goods?
Manufacturer-To keep the pauper
made goods of Europe out of this coun-
try, so that our own manufacturers,
while paying high wages and providing
you farmers with big ''home markets."
will be left free to compete with each
other and in this way to cheaper the
cost of our goods.
Eyes, see. And do you also favor
high duties on farm products to increase
internal competition and lower prices?
M.-Oh, no, not at all. Duties on wheat,
corn, cotton, pork and beef keep out
foreign farm products and raise prices
for you.
F.-But there is no foreign competition
in these products We export hundreds Of
millions of dollars worth of them every
year. Besides you say that to cut off
foreign competition reduces prices.
M.-Yes, of manufactured articles, but
not of agricultural products. There is a
vast difference.
FL confess that l can't understand
you; but, supposing your logic is sound,
why were prices of cotton, wheat and
corn under high duties lower in 1899
than ever before, while the prices Of
wooden goods, tin plate, cutlery, guns,
pearl buttons and other manufactured
goods under increased duties were higher
than in previous years?
MI think you are mistaken, but if
prices of farm products were lower last
year it must have been due to good crops.
FL beg your pardon. Crops were
not so good as in 1891, when prices were
much higher.
Nj mean good crops abroad, so that
Europe did not require so much of your
grain and cotton.
F.-That is, you admit that it is the
foreign demand that fixes prices of grains,
cotton and meats and not tariff duties at
all?
MI admit nothing Of the kind. But
don't care to discuss the question fur
Their. You have been reading Henry
George or some other free trade theorist
until you would prefer to see England
prosper rather than your own country.
FL prefer to prosper myself rather
than to be heavily taxed for the benefit
of the tariff protected trusts which make
millionaires of you manufacturers. And,
once for all, let me say that I am done
with your bogus protection to farmers
as well as real protection to manufac-
turers- You can't play your sawdust
bunko game on US any longer. Good
day.
Laborer-Did l not hear you say that
you favor protection SO that you can pay
high wages?
Manufacturer Certainly. Yes, pro-
lection always lowers prices, except in
the case of farm products, as have just
explained.
LII can understand that if protec-
ton raises prices you can afford to pay
higher wages, though 1t would be OPP
tional with yourself whether you would
do so or not, but how can low prices en-
able you to pay high wagess
M.-Simply by protecting Us and our
workmen from the pauper made goods
Of Europe.
Lit might protect you, but it could
not protect your workmen," as you call
them. for If it really raised wages here
there is no tariff to prevent European

THE WORLDS TARIFFS.

The Poor and Low Wage Countries Are the
Only Ones That Need Protection.
Now let us look around and view the
various countries where either one of the
systems, protection or free trade, pre-
dominates.
Australia Except New South Wales),,
the United States and Canada, among
the new countries, have protective tariffs.
Wages and profits here are so high that
workingmen and capitalists from all over
the world immigrate to those countries
in order to better their conditions.
It is true, though, of Canada that since
its adoption Of rigid protective tariff in
1876 it has been steadily losing ground
in the struggle for commercial equality
with other nations. At the same time
wages and profits upon investments have
gone down, causing a decrease of immi-
grafton and the exodus Of tens of thou
sands of it's sons annually to it's southern
neighbor, where larger population and
more diversified means for employment
cause the baneful influences of protec-
ton to be not SO keenly felt as in less
thickly populated Canada. /
But the new countries to the south Of
the United States also have tariffs high
enough to protect any industry and to
enable their people to start new indus
tries. Yet wages there are rather low,
and almost the only means Of subsistence
are such pursuits as cannot be protected
anyway, even if protection could be
made to protect.
Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Aus
tria-Hungary, among the old countries
enjoy protective tariffs, and their in
habitants with the exception Of those of
France) are leaving these countries by
tens Of thousands in order to try to earn
better wages in other lands. Hundreds Of
thousands at the same time are obliged
to stay, but would gladly follow their
more fortunate countrymen if they had
the money needed for the journey.
Great Britain, among the leading old
countries, has virtual free trade, and the
percentage of emigration from that coun-
try is not only comparatively small, but
thousands are annually emigrating from
old and protected" countries into Great
Britain.s Wages in the unprotected Brit
ish industries are so very much higher
than in the protected industries of other
old countries that the protected workmen
eagerly avail themselves of the opportu-
mites offered in the unprotected coun-
try.
Russia, which is practically new
country, is perhaps as rich and twice as
large as the United States, while it has
not as many inhabitants to the square
mile as the great republic of the west.
Yet, notwithstanding the fact that its
tariff wall is fully as high as that Of the
United States, its resources are undevel-
oped. wages are low, and thousands of its
people, not merely the prosecuted Jews.
are annually leaving its domains in or
der to seek better means of subsistence
elsewhere.
All Of this goes to show that high tar
ifs or protective" systems cannot be re-
sponsible for the higher rate Of wages
paid in one country than another.-Ding-
man Versteeg in Tariff Reform.

laborers from coming over here to COM
pete with US and lower wages again.
M.-You are beginning to theorize
just like that old hayseed that made me
SO tired just now. Protection is not
theory. It is practical. This is the most
prosperous country on the globe. and it
is all due to protection.
LII know it is prosperous. It has
more millionaires than any other coun-
try-and more tramps also, perhaps.
But begin to think that our prosperity
is due to our fertile and cheap lands,
which keep wages high; to our repub-
ican form of government, our freedom
from standing armies and the fact that
this is the greatest free trade country in
the world, there being absolute freedom
Of exchange between all of the states
and territories, and each state, on an av-
erage, being larger than the countries Of
western Europe.
M.-But you certainly would not have
free trade between countries?
L.-There has always been free trade
in labor, all the poor man has to sell.
How could it injure him to have free
trade in goods, what he has to buy? Free
trade would protect the poor man by
giving him the most for his labor, just
as high duties protect the rich manufac-
turer by giving him higher prices for
his goods. Do the rich need protection
more than the poor?
M.-You are worse than the farmer,
for you advocate socialism and anarchy
and think we have become rich by rob-
bling the poor and are not entitled to our
wealth.
L.-No, not exactly that, but l take
you for business man and think you
are more anxious to buy labor low and
to sell goods high than to buy high and
sell low. If legislators and politicians
could be bribed and people hoodwinked,
that is as much their fault
M.-Such talk is un-American and
reasonable, and I will hear no more Of
it. The government is going to the dogs
as fast as it can because the Democratic
party is full of such anarchistic agitators
as you. Good day, sir.
Live rather ratified that manufac-
turer.
Fits time. He's had US ratified for
80 years.
L.-That's so, and suppose he thinks
we are as big chumps as ever. But he
still has the drop on us, for he has plenty
Of money to live on, to educate his chill
dren with and to start them in business.
F.-You're quite right. He can live
off of the interest which we must pay on
the mortgages on our farms and homes
LIDO you know, I've been thinking
lately that there are better ways for rails
ing revenue than by tariff duties? Why
not get {. revenue by an income, an in
heritance or land value tax?
F.-Do you think they would be easier
on us poor devils?
Ii do. While we collect revenues
from duties on goods the poor, who eat
and wear nearly as much as the rich,
will always pay nine-tenths of the taxes
because there are 100 poor persons to
every rich one. With duties on big in
comes and inheritances the rich would
pay all and would then return to the
government part Of what they, aided
by the government, took from us.
F.-That certainly seems fair.
