PROTECTION PROSPERITY.
Unprecedented Good Times Under the Me
 Kinley System.

From 1880 to 1890 under protection our manufacturing interests increased in value from five million to nine mill lion dollars. Such an increase was never known in any country on the face of the earth. It is the wonder, the envy of Europe.
 Every manufactory had operatives These worlzmen worked in shops They consumed farm products; they did not raise them. They were friends of, purchasers from, the farmers; they were not competitors of the farmers. They furnished large and ever-grow- ing home market. The farmersold from his wagon box, and for cash, instead of shipping to distant cities. He was his own middleman, his own express, his own railway. He pocketed his good price and saved all commissions, all ex- press and freight bills.
 These manufactories were stimu- lated by and in part sustained by the tariff, which gave them chance to build up. So abundant was their num- Der and their increase that domestic competition brought prices down to nearly or quite the price of the foreign article, without including the duty. In some cases, as in calico, the price is just about the bare duty, say nothing of cost
 If calico sells at four to five cents a yard it is idle to say that the tariff of four cents fixed by the Mckinley bill is a ''tax" on the American consumer.
 Now we are threatened with a whole sale slaughter of our industrial system to benefit the nonindustrial planta- tion system of the south and the New York importers. What care they for the home markets of the west and the northwest? The south is in favor of low wages, and free foreign goods is

9,3O3 head of horses of the value of S2,ll4, 7O3, as against 7,622 head of the value of S1,356, $50 exported for the three years 1ss7-1ss9, preceding the Mckinley law.
 But what is true of horses is also true respecting cattle. This great agricultural industry is also assailed by the Wilson bill in the same ruth less and, it would seem, senseless man. ner. Under the existing law there is aspecifc q duty of S2 per head on all cattle one year old or less, and $10 per head on all more than one year old, which is equivalent to 43. B per cent on the former and 63.22 per cent. on the latter. The pending Wilson bill proposes to change all this to 20 per cent. ad valorem on all cattle of what ever age, or, in other words, to reduce the tariff to about one-third the pres ent rate. Now, what has been the eff feet in its advantages to the American cattle-raiser by the Mckinley act and the protective policy, and what will probably be the effect of this proposed change in this policy?
 We imported for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1893, 2,272 head of cattle of less than one year old, of the value of S10, ,43S, and S26 head of one year old or more, of the value of $13,065, or total number of head of 3,09S, of the value of S23, ,503; and the total number of head of cattle imported during the three years-1S91-1s93 inclusive, since the passage of the Mckinley act was but 0,652 head in 1891, 2,036 head in 1892, and 3,O9S head in 1893, aggregat ing for the three years but l4,7S0 head, of the aggregate value of but S97, ,524, or an annual average importa- tion for these three years under the Mckinley act of but 4,92S head, of the average annual value of >32, ,512; whereas for the three years preceding the enactment of the Mckinley act-1SS7-1ss9, when the duty was sub stantially as now proposed, we inn ported 1S7, ,721 head, as follows:
 In 1887, 72,G65 head; in 1888, 57,sO5 head; and in 1889, 57,551 head, or an average for three years of G2,573 head, of the aggregate value of $2,20O,4 ,4S6, or an annual average in value of $733,- 495.33.
 Why. then, should we go back to the old policy, which will bring into com petition with the cattle raisers of this country from 60 to 100, 900 head of Can adian and other foreign cattle annually and drain our country an- nually of over S1, ,O0O, ,OOO, which will go into the pockets of foreign cattle raisers?
 The cattle industry of the United States is an immense one. It is an ag- ricultural interest moreover. Our country should, and can under a proper protective policy, export largely of cattle instead of importing. In fact

Imports Under Free Trade.

Free traders frankly admit that un- der the operation of the Wilson bill, if 1t becomes law, importations will be vastly increased. Now, is it not plain that for every additional dollars worth of goods imported, the like of which we can produce here, a dollars worth less of goods will be manufactured by our people, or in the exact ratio of in- crease there will be 0 decrease of man. ufa curing with less profits for the manufacturer and less work and less wages for the laboring man? Is it not a present, pressing, an imperative duty, to foster labor and keep workingmen from idle ness? The threat of free trade has brought wider spread suffering than our country has ever before known; it has enabled "Coxeyism" to grow and spread and stimulated the feeling of unrest and disaffection which now causes all thoughtful men to look wit ! genuine anxiety to the future.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Effects of Democratic Legislation on the
 Live Stock Business.


 It is proposed to legislate in the interest of the stock raiser of Can ada, Central America, Mexico and oth- CT foreign countries and against that of the American stock raiser. Under the Mckinley act there is a specific duty of $50 per head on horses valued at less than S150, and 30 per cent. ad valorem on all valued at $50 or over The pending measure fixes the duty on all horses imported at the low rate of 20 per cent. ad valorem.
 Now, what must be the inevitable effect of this change on the American horse raiser? During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1893, we imported into this country 12,24s horses valued at less than $50 each, and 3S2 valued at $50 and over, in all 12,63O head of the total value of I,164, ,4S3.50, and on which we collected a duty to the amount of S367,440. Now, during the three years-1SS7-1Ss9 inclusive-imme- diately preceding the enactment of the Mckinley law, the duty was but 20 per cent
 We imported horses of the aggregate value for these three years of S7,30s,- 437, or of the average annual value of S2,4S6, ,145; while for the three years lS91-1S93 nclusive-immediate after the enactment of the Mckinley law, the annual value of our importations was but S1,lS9,G21, or less annually than for the three preceding years by Sl, ,246,5s4
 There were in the United States in 1890, according to the census, 14,213,- S37 head of horses of the value of S97S,- ,562, while according to the latest statistical abstract there were on the lst of January last Cs94) in this coun. try l6,0S1, ,201 head, or an increase in the number in the past three years of l,s77, 1864 head, an increase over the number of head in 1880 of 5,723, 7l9 head, as the total number in 1880 was but 10, ,357, 4ss.
 We can, under proper protective policy, not only supply our own de- mand for horses, but become exporters to many millions of dollars worth an. nually. Indeed, we are now exporters to considerable amount, as during the last three years we have exported

the first step in that direction. Cut off the supply of labor here and the price of days work will fall; they will get labor at antebellum prices. almost, and be able to swing their plantation manners over the workingmen as of old. New York importers, mostly for eigners, agents and partners of foreign manufacturers, seek free trade in their own goods made abroad by their cheaper labor If they succeed the farmer will find his local buyers forced to the farm and to become com petitors in farm products.
The Coconino weekly sun., 1894-06-07

we are to-day exporters of cattle to many millions of dollars in value an- nually. In 1890 we exported cattle to the value of S31, ,261, ,lS1; in 1891 to the value of $50, ,445, 240, and in 1892 to the value of SS5, ,099, ,095, or an aggregate of S96, ,sO5, ,475, as against S97,So6,63l dur ing the three years-1ss7-1sS9, immedi- ately preceding the passage of the Mckinley act.
