FREE TRADE SLANDERERS.

No one can pick up Democratic
newspaper and see any reference to
the tariff without noting the eyi-
dent disposition on the part of edi-
tors to convince the American peo-
pie that they not only are wronged
by the action IF the law, but that in
a thousand cases they are wrouged
in the quality of the goods sup
piled them by American manufac-
turers. The struggle is made all
along the line for instance to show
that English wooden goods, the ordi-
nary goods that the ordinary man
wears, are superior TO the American
goods, and editors will ramble
through column after column TO show
that this mus. be so, inasmuch as
the English have the pick of all the
woods of the world. Again, the i'm
preston is perpetually held out that
American manufacturers, being in
nately dishonest, use vast amounts of
shoddy, and nc possible reference is
made to English shoddy, Now the
fact is that the American WOODEN
cloths exhibited a, the Worlds Fair
were equal to the very best that were
brought across the sea, and they av-
eraged higher than any foreign ex-
hibit Then again, when it comes to
shoddy, the English to use two
pounds Of it to one in America. Fin
ally, shoddy is of various grades,
ana according to the best expert that
we krow of, it is impossible to make
perfect wooden goods for all uses
without the use of shoddy. About
year ago We gave a statement made
by the most expert judge of those
things in this region, a gentleman
who all his life has been engaged in
the business and knows every manu-
facturer in Great Britain, wherein he
explained that the trouble with the
Provo mills was that they refused to
use any shoddy and the result was
that their clothing was out of shape
in a week, Just now there is an
agitation all over this country about |
throwing the tariff from wool, and |
there IS struggle on the part of |
every Democratic orator and every |
Democratic newspaper 20 convince
the wool raisers and the country |
that, by throwing that tariff off, they
will have superior article of wooden
goods at English prices in this coun-
try, The truth is, as We have a dos
en- times shown, that with wool
placed on the free list, while the eff
feet will be to rum the sheep indus
try in very many parts of this coun-
try, in all places where land is va!u-
able, the striking down of that tariff
cannot in itself make difference to
exceed ST. 30 on suit Of clothes. If,
as these papers claim, the tariff is not
to De reduced on wooiens, but only
Oh the raw material, the difference in
cost cannot exceed $50 suit.
And that is the craftsmanship of the
President of the United States and
the majority of Cangressmen. And
newspapers in the wool-raisiDg re
gious endorse ii, and by more crooks
md turns and twists than ever ser
)eut made in climbing upon a
height that was covered by thicket,
hey finally reach the conclusion that
t will be best, thar it will increase
in this country, and
will finally give a better price for
WOOL itself. There is not ole of
hem that believes any such thing.
The object is to Kill the tariff, and
he final object, while many men do
.ot believe it. is to destroy manufac-
-uring IN this country. IL is the old
spirit that started in the brain of
John !. Calhoun, which found Its
first potential expression N the Con-
,titution Of tie Confederate States,
md which now is trying to be in
grated in the statutes of the United
States. Salt Lake Tribune.
