has more than once remarked that
the manufacturers and people of
New England can have no objec-
ton to the free importation OF
bituminous coal if they do not have
to pay too much for it. 1t says
further that free coal would be Of
great advantage to us and so
wOuld free raw materials of
other kinds, provided our manu-
featured products are adequately
prot ctrd. But Of what benefit
will free coal or free wool be to us
II we cannot sell our manufactured
products at a profit? And if the
duties on manufactured goods are
reduce d below the point which pro-
tects the superior wages paid in
Our mills, foreign goods will fill
our markets, and oar manufacture
ers can compete only by
severe reduction of wages.
When wages are reduced tho
purchasing power of the pablo is
reduced, and the SeVeBty-hve cents
per ton saved on bituminous coal
will not go far to compensate for
tho loss. Ii is quite probable that
under the new tariff, foreign goods
Will be cheaper and American
goods Will have to follow suit II
they are made at all. This will
benefit people who have fixed in
comes, wealthy people who never
have to worry about tomor-
rows supplies, but how will 1t ben
eft wagp-earners whose wages are
reduced? 1t makes little difference
how cheap thing is il you have
no money for its purchase. Free
coal for New England is not boon
when it is coupled with such re-
auctions Of duties on our manu-
features that our labor must be
poorly compensated or entirely I'M
employed.

the country. instead of advocating the
abolition of the remaining fragment OF
duty, are agreed that the duty shall be
increased Both New York and south
ern organs talk that way. They
doubtless find precedent in one Of the
first messages of President Cleveland
during his preceding term. He then
opposed reciprocity on the ground that
the government could not get
along without the heavy revenue
of an eighty per cent duty
on sugar. The Mckinley bill
abolished this mons.rous duty with
the exception of the trivial one-cent
fragment The tariff on sugar protects
no industry and no labor, because
there is no competition either at home
or from abroad in the sugar industry.
The tariff upon it for that reason is
purely tax, and as tax the sugar
tax is VIGOROUSLY unjust, because it
levies upon the family whose wealth
is five hundred dollars practically the
same tax as upon the family whose
wealth is five hundred thousand dol
lars. The political party which butts
its head against free sugar will retreat
