enormous financial loss and inevitab Ole

To overcome the disadvantage of
natural resources which guaranteed
better returns than come of the more
artificial kind of manufacture did, it
was decided to continue upon the peo-
pie in times of peace the most import
ant hardships of modern war dear
ness and scarcity of the necessities Of
life.
If war between nations could only
be made continuous and perpetual,
there would be no end of protective
tariffs. The millennium of protection
will come when nation shall be against
nation, city against city, each mans
hand against every other man, ana
every mans hand against him. But
when the nations shall beat their
swords into ploughshares and peace on
earth and good will to men shall be
the rule of action, war and protective
tariffs will be done away.
At present the Republicans say, If
we cannot have war, we will have
protection, sas the nearest approach to
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-01-02
PROTECTION AND WAR.

Mr.. c. E. Allen, a Republican orator,
has shown a striking resemblance be-
tween war and protection.
He stated at the joint debate that
during the war of 1872, our manufac-
turers fourished, because foreign goods
were cut off from us by the fleets of
Great Britain and we had to manufac-
ture them. After the blockades were
abated by the return of peace, he said
foreign goods became cheap again, and
certain of our home industries" that
had been forced into being by the
lbeneficiaries of war were threatened
with ruin by the calamity of peace.
In this emergency, he went on to
say, American craftsmanship rose to
the occasion. A method of continuing
in times of peace the hardships of war
was found out. 1t was discovered that
by means of tariff taxes certain goods
could be made as dear in times of
peace as they had been before in times
of war; and that it would then cost
no more labor and capital to produce
them here. by reason of their enforced
|dearness and scarcity, than it would to
continue to make other things in ex-
change for them, as people had been
wont to do in easier times of peace
and plenty.
Accordingly, by means of tariff taxes,
many necessities of life We're made so
hard to get, that it paid just as well
to manufacture them here at the great
disadvantage of lack of capital, as it
did to work the great industries of
this productive country that required
but little capital to employ our labor
and yield rich returns.
1t was found that our cheap and
fertile soil, inexhaustible forests, and
rich mines afforded such good returns
for labor, that certain manufactures
could only thrive in times of war, when
the exchange of our own abundant pro-
ductions for them was obstructed by
Iblockades and privateers.

the cost to the buyer when he gets
his suit
The latter enables the cloth importer
to put on his percentage, the cloth
dealer to add his, and the tailor who
makes up the suit to tack on his, ard
by the time the purchaser gets his suit
he pays through the nose" three or
four percentages besides the actual
duty on the cloth and the increased
cost from the higher wages in this
country.
When any man or paper says the
immense difference between the cost
of a suit of wooden goods in this corn-
try and in England is simply the diff
ference in wages and the addition OF q
dollar and half duty. he is either
talking of what he knows nothing
about, or he is shutting and bluffing
to deceive the public. Every tailor
and every clothing dealer who knows
anything of the relative cost of goods
lin the two countries, knows that ire

ABOUT SEWING MACHINES.

A Republican speaker at the debate
attempted to deceive his hearers into
the belief that the American sewing
machines, sold more cheaply abroad
than here. are also made abroad.
This was broad emphatic assertion,
for which that speaker should be held
strictly accountable at the bar of pub
lie justice.
He stated that these machines are
manufactured in Glasgow or in some
other European city. This was mis-
representation.
A few years ago, there was a Singer
sewing machine establishment at Glas-
gov. in which the iron frame on which
the machine stands was cast, but none
of the important parts of the machine
were made there. These were all made
in the American factory, and sent there
to be put together just as they are
sent TO Utah to be put together. 1t is
precisely the same with wagons, thresh-
ing machines, desks, etc. They are all
sent to Utah knocked down" and are
put together after they arrive.
Threshing machines are manufac-
tured in Utah in the same sense that
American sewing machines are manu-
featured in Mexico, Brazil, Australia,
and Denmark; That is. they are sent
to these countries packed in boxes
part by part, to be put together after
arriving at their destination.
The Domestic and most other Amer
lean machines have only one establish
ment, in which every part whatso-
ever, even to the cast-iron frame, is
solely made. The Domestic retails in
Australia for less than $50; the price
here is $50, cash down.
We should think the written state
ment of jeremiah NJ. Rusk, secretary
|of Agriculture under President Harri-
son. would forever silence the brazen
denials of Republican stumpers. He
said: "An investigation will show that
this same combination american Har-
vester company is now selling or offer
ing to sell machines in Russia and Aus
tralia and other wheat growing coun-
tries, at lower figure than they do in
this country
Thus does a member of President
Harrison's cabinet nail through the
ear the individual that attempts to
deny the well known fact, that our
protected manufacturers sell abroad
without protection at lower prices than
they sell at home
