The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-10-11

The Wilson law does not afford suffi-
cient protection to the domestic wooden
manufactures. This fact was apparent
during the fall season, and it has been
made indisputable the present spring
season. When the importer can obtain
fully So per cent Of the orders placed on
worsted goods by the manufacturing
clothiers, it is indisputable that some
thing is radically wrong with the tariff
laws; that the domestic manufactures
does not receive the needed protection.
II little matters whether he is defrauded
Of it by an absurd system OF duties
which permits of gross frauds, or
whether the prescribed duty is ineffi-
cient in itself. Textile Manufacturers

Keen Competition Checks Trade Excel
lence and shoddy Rules the Markets.
The workings of the German tariff
show in an unmistakable manner that
cheapness and free trade are as firm
allies as are protection and excellence.
Taking the case of free wool, an inves-
tigation of any market in the United
States will show that the quality of the
wooden goods now being offered for sale
throughout the country is vastly inferior
to the quality and finish of the goods
that were sold here few years ago.
The foreign manufacturers of wooden
goods have determined to secure as
much of our trade as they possibly can
under the lower tariff now in existence.
What they cannot get by the undervalu-
alton fraud they will get by fraud in the
admixture of the component parts of
the goods. Articles that they offer to
sell us as being made of all wool are
either part wool and part shoddy or
all shoddy.
There is no disgrace in wearing gar
ments that are made of shoddy, only let
them be sold as shoddy Everybody un-
derstands, Of course, that they will not
wear as long as goods made of pure wool
and nobody expects that they will. They
cost less. But when wages are lower
than their former high level, and when
the number of earners is less than it
used to be, the question of a few dol
lars forms a considerable factor in the
cost of purchase of wooden goods. The
shoddy article can be furnished for the
smaller outlay, and the buyer will often
console himself with the fact that he
may be able to afford better material
later on, when times have improved.
Thus it is that shoddy garments are at
present regulating values for all our
woolens. In order to meet this competi-
in some instances attempted to supply
the market with goods made from shoddy
in this country, though the shoddy itself
may all have been imported. In this
way the demand for pure wool is cur
tailed, and the sheep farmer suffers.
1t is not only in the case Of wooden
goods that the consanguinity of cheap
uoSs anu lTot tTdu6 10 81 uOtlCtdDlc. U
stands stamped ON almost every article
made in free trade country where the
value Of labor is degraded to the lowest
competing point. Where market cannot
be secured or a margin of profit gained
by squeezing additional blood money out
of the unfortunate free trade laborer, it
is done by deteriorating the quality Of
the goods manufactured. This has been
particularly noticeable during recent
years in the construction of English
steamships, those ordinary freight car
riers that our free traders were so anx-
ious that we should purchase under a
free ship bill, and which the foreign
shipbuilders and foreign ship owners
were, on their part, equally anxious to
sell US. For stability, sound material,
careful workmanship and excellence of
finish the American steamship today
stands second to none in the world.
Good wages mean good work; cheap
wages mean cheap work. Free trade
means cheap wages and cheap goods ;
protection means good wages and the
best of goods.

Gentlenen-Solely In the interest of others
who are, or may become similarly affected with
myself, venture to offer my experience with
the use Of the owen Electric BELT, and that
I am actuated entirely by that motive. must be
apparent from the fact that until you see my
name and address recorded on this letter you
had no knowledge OF either. had long been q
sufferer from chronic dyspepsia and nervous
prostration, contracted or aggravated by many
years residence In the East Indies. About three
years ago purchased one of your Belts in the
hope that its use might afford me some relief,
and wore Il continuously as directed for about
four hours every afternoon for a month or so.
and the result wac perfectly marvellous. Ny
indigestion with all Its attendant miseries, ner-
vousness, depression, irritability and insomnia,
from which latter was a great sufferer, have
disappeared. then discontinued the use OF the
Belt (the existence Of which had indeed for.
gotten), until about six weeks ago. when q
recurrence of my old trouble very forcibly
reminded me of It, again put 1t into wear
(after ceasing Its use for over one and one-half
years., and with the same extraordinary results,
being again restored to health, strength and
these circumstances l can most emphatically
recommend to others suffering from the ailments
which have endeavored to describe, the adop-
ton OF the use of the owen Electric Belt.
I had long been aware Of the curative powers OF
electric ,ty from what had read on the subject,
and on my return to England purchased from
Pulver lacher of Regent street. London, the
combir ed chain bands, OF which he is tho
patentse for which l paid three guineas, and
altho Igh l must admit that I derived some
bensot from their use, l am bound to say tho
general result did not approach the benefit
derived from the use OF the owen Belt
besides which its utility Is so great an improve
ment In comfort and convenience; Pulver.

all not being able to regulate the current as Ia

WAGES AND LABOR CENSUS SEPTEMBER, 1895.

From this latest investigation it is
apparent that the industrial condition
of the United States has retrogressed
more than half decade. Six years have
elapsed since the taking of the census of
1889, and per cent less labor is en-
ployed now than then, also labor earned
this year at the rate of IA per cent less
wages than in 1889. These results, as
applied to the whole country, appear in
the following exhibit:
Census OF 1890. Investigation Of 1896
Hands
ployed 80. 4,7l2,622- per cent, 4,51l, 243
ed 81 2s3, 2l6, 5e9-14 p. c., 81, e83, 500, 2l5
The result of a Democratic admins
tration and free trade fanatic congress
is that labor was earning $500, 900, 900
less this year than in 1889. We have to
thank the more conservative Democratic
congressman that the result was not
worse. Contrast this half decade of
Democratic destruction with the prog
ress of the country during three decades
of protection.
The suggestion naturally follows that
our consumption of goods must be ON
the basis of our consumption in 1889,
at least as far as the wage earners are
concerned, if they are in receipt of
$500, 900, 900 less than in 1889. This
being the case. the effect of our present
importations Of foreign goods could only
be fairly gagged by comparing them
with our imports Of 1889. That we are
not consuming as much as we did from
1890 to 1898 is well known, but if the
demand has fallen back to that Of 1889
then our manufacturers will certainly
have to curtail their output very short
ly. We have, in fact, learned from rep
resentatives of several industries that
this is likely to be the case.

LABOR AND WAGES.
CONDITIONS WORSE THAN WHEN THE
LAST CENSUS WAS TAKEN.

Thirteen Per Cent Lees Labor Employed
Than In 1s92-seventeen Per Cent Less
Wages Earned Now Than Them sbor's
Value $500. 900. 900 Less Than an 1887.
Since the beginning Of the present
year the free trade newspapers have
been busily engaged in reporting what
they were pleased to term advance"
in wages, though in no single instance
has it been stated to what previous rate
of wages the advance" related. With
a view to ascertaining the facts, the
American Protective Tariff league has
undertaken an investigation to deter
mine the average number of hands en-
ployed in different industries during the
first half of the years 1890, 1892, 1894
and 1895. together with the percentage
of wages paid, the rate of 1890 being
taken us full standard. There were
500 reports from 50 different industries.
These returns show that the same in
dustries employed $3.50 more hands in
1892 than in 1890, an increase Of ~
per cent. In 1894 they employed "a, 0S1
hands less than in 1892, decrease Of
80 per cent. In the early part of 1895
they employed 1855 more hands than
in 1894, but 2,325 less hands than in
1892 and 2,795 less even than in 1890.
For 1895 the employment of labor shows
an increase Of II per cent as compared
with 1894, decrease of ID per cent as
compared with 1892 and decrease of 3
per cent as compared with 1890.
The average of wages paid in 1892
was per cent higher than in 1890; in
1898 it was 10 per cent less than in 800
and 81 per cent less than in 1892, while
for the 1895 period the average rate Of
wages paid was IA per cent less than in
1890, IL per cent less than i'll 1892 and
only per cent greater than in 1894.
While those reported advances" in
wages have been diligently announced
in the cases of the few industries that
have been enabled to make them, moth
ing has been heard of the far more nu
merous other instances wherein the wage
earners have not been so fortunate.
Previous Investigations were:
Mckinley census, October, 1892, show
ing over $40, 900, 900 invested in new or
enlarged industries within two years
also that work has been provided for 81,
285 additional hands.
Industrial census, October, 1898,
showing a loss Of Al. 20 per cent in the
volume of trade as compared with No
vember, 1892; a decrease of 601a per
cent in the number of hands employed [;
a decrease of 50 per cent in the amount
of wages paid, and a decrease of 81. 30
in the average weekly earnings.
Industrial census, October, 1894,
showing decrease of SO per cent in the
output of factories as compared with
1892; falling off of 30 per cent in the
number of hands employed; falling
off of 40 per cent i'll the amount of
wages earned; decrease of $50 in av-
erage annual earnings.
