THE ISSUES OF THIS CAMPAIGN.
The lines upon which this presiden-
tial campaign Of 1896 will be fought
are very clearly defined. The issue
will be protection for American labor
and industries against free trade, says
the American Economist, In New York.
With the ~disgraceful exhibition that
tho democratic tariff for revenue
only muddle has made, and is max
Ing, from day TO day, 1t is but natural
that The free. traders should desire to
SHIFT the issue away from the tariff to
any other subject in creation.
The existing tariff, moreover, is do
ing fairly well for the British friends Of
our f~ree-traders, for whose benefit 1t
was enacted. The temper Of the peo-
will undoubtedly not permit OF any
further "tariff reform" in the direction
OF lower duties, so some. other scheme
must be planned that will maintain the
welfare OF England to the full measure
of the promises made in the free-trade
campaign of 1892.
The longer the German tariff re-
mains law, the better it will be for
England. The only chance Of its re-
naming law Is by cheating the people
into a belief that something else is
more important. The free trade
bureau of the Golden club is In full
blast working to this end. Many re-
publican papers have already been
hoodwinked, notably three in New
York city which used to profess that
they were solely interested in the pro-
lection OF American labor and indus
tries, but which are now busiIy en-
gagged in the circulation Of the Cob
den clubs ~new-fangled heresies.
Every word which they print in favor
Of this doctrine is a stab at the indus
trial interests OF the United States,
lnasmuch as it diverts attention from
The one real issue of protection.
The question for republican news-
papers TO decide is: Whether it is
better for American labor to be busily
employed earning good wages, or is it
better that American labor should be
idle and earning 10 wages. In the one
case u industrial work will be per-
formed at home; in the other case, it
will be done abroad.

The fifly-first congress, however, had
been pledged to help the wool-growers,
and gave us the law of 1890, under
which the number OF sheep increased
TO 47,273,553 on January 1st, 1898.
But there are two ways in which to
destroy protective tariff legislation one
IS to reduce the rates Of duty below the
protective point, or insert harmless
looking provisions by which the duty
may be evaded, and the second is to
so overload the law as to provoke its
repeal. So far as wool is concerned,
the first Of these methods was success
fully tried in 1883, and the latter pro-
cess was employed in 1890. That is
to say, when the manufacturers found
the ways and means committee Of the
ffty-first congress was determined to
correct the law and raise the duty on
wool, they demanded such duties on
manufactures as eventually TO bring
about the repeal of the law. 1t is a fact
that the sole and only argument for
placing uooI on the free list was the
high rate of duties ON wOolens. Every
speech on the ssstump'' during the
campaign of 1892; every speech in
congress in favor of free wool, will bear
out that assertion.
The duties on woolens had been so
manipulated in a combination OF
s'specific' and '.ad valorem" rates,
that the per cent. or MEASURE of duty
was not known till the publication Of
results In the custom house. No other
articles on our tariff list were ever sub
jected 10 such rates. A few of them
are here given in comparison with
those on wool:
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1896-04-08
These are the highest duties paid, Blu

These are the highest duties paid, but
the average on wool was a little less
than so per cent, and on manufactures
of wool, a little Oret 100 per cent.
1t Is, of course, well understood that
wool.growing and wool manufacturing
are kindred industries and equally en-.
titled to protection, and l am a pro-
tectionist believing in the policy of pro-
lection, but l fail to see the justice,
fairness or right in giving the WOOL
grower 30 per cent. and the mannfac-
turer demanding 100 per cent.
They did not ask for 400 per cent"
for they knew that would be refused,
but for a s'specific duty rs "compen-
sation' tor the duty on wool and an
'sad valorem'' duty for ssprotection,"
and it is these two duties combined
which make the 100 per cent.
In 1867 the manufacturers asked for,
and were satisfied with, .'three times
the duty imposed on q pound Of
unwashed wool of the first Glass; as
a compensatory duty. In the law Of

THAT TARDY INSPECTION.

The San Marcial Bee complains bit
terly because two cars Of cattle belong.
ing to w. B. Slaughter were held two
days at that place for inspection At 9
loss of 800 to the owner of the stock,
the blame for the delay being laid al
the door OF j. A. La Rue, secretary Of
the cattle sanitary board in Las Vegas,
The fact of the matter is, Mr.. Bee, tina,
tie letter files in the secretary's Office
here show that application was made
for transportation for inspectors to the
proper authorities as early as Decem-
Der 30th, 1895, and repeatedly since,
the same not yet having come to hand.
Late Saturday night of last week,
Secretary La Rue received a telegram
from G. L. Fowler, inspector at AIbu.
querque, that two cars of cattle were
being held at San Marcial for inspec-
ton, and if his railroad pass had not
yet been furnished, to remit him the
amount Of the necessary fare. This was
done. the money going down on Mon
day.
In regard to the request for the ap.
pointment Of G. G. Ely as a special in
spector of cattle in an emergency case,
as in this instance, the secretary Of the
board would not depart from his IRON
clad rule not to appoint anybody to re-
lease cattle who is not a regularly APP
pointed inspector, under bond-in fact,
he would transcend his authority in
doing so.
Much as this delay in inspection CT
cattle may be regretted. it seems it
could not be averted, under the cir
cumstances. But let the structures be
placed where they properly belong. on
the railroad company, for delay in
furnishing the transportation promptly,
repeatedly and rightly asked for by
the secretary OF the sanitary board.

These figures prove these industries
were aourishing at that time, because
they show growth and expansion.
No other industry is more widely
scattered, and in very few, if any, are
there more individuals interest ed than
in sheep husbandry. There are many
sections of the country in which the
wool-growers could control the election
Of members Of congress if they would,
and we have somehow had the i'm
preston that congress was a sort Of
"gabfest," and have often sent wind
and not wisdom to represent us. The
legislation of to-day, especially that
pertaining to tariff, finance, etc., etc.,
is a practical business matter, which
needs common sense more than theory
or technical skill for its adjustment.
Experience has taught US we should
make our influence felt in such matters,
if we would not be ignored or imposed
upon when legislation is being formu-
lated.
In 1883 came a demand for re-adjust-
ments 10 the tariff to meet changed
conditions and here the wool growers
met a severe defeat. During the six
teen years OF protection, the manufac-
turers had increased in wealth and
numbers and early formed a national
association, including all the differing
lines of manufacture for the protection
Of their mutual interests. They ap.
peared before the forty eighth con.
gress as n solid body, compact,
weighty, substantial. and made their
i fiAence felt. The wool-growers, on
the other hand, were represented by a
few delegates, hastily gathered
from widely separated sections Of
the country, and the result was the
tariff net Of 1883, reducing the duties
on wool, opening the door for evasions,
and raising the duties on woolens and
wo steds.
The effect of this act is to be seer in |
the census of 1890. The number of
sheep declined from over fifty millions
in 1884 to AZ, 59s, 079. While the value
of the manufacturers of wool increased
as follows:
Carpets .....$ AZ, 770, 1893 |
Hosiery and knit ........... 1924, 013
Wool hats. 5,329, 92It
Woolens. .............. ~. 1913, 577. 977 |
Worsteds. -. ...... ........... 10, 1874 ,652
A grand total of. 1881, 1l3. 1865
This condition OF the sheep industry
aroused the wool growers to actor, and
twenty states and Territories were rep
resented In the National association at
Washington in December. 1889. Every
delegate then present knows that the
manufacturers as q body, threw the
whole Of their influence against any
amendment Of the law. either to stop
fraud Or ~readiust the duties On wool. !
