IMPORTS OF CARPETS.

The 1895 figures are for the calendar
year, this being the only complete ~
months under free trade in wool. We
leave our readers TO imagine in what di-
rection "the industry of lying has been
encouraged. Again we quote:
But very large part of the imports
classed as carpets is composed of eastern
handmade rugs. The value of real ma
chine made carpets brought into this
country is small. "
We suppose that the "eastern hand
made rugs" made possibly by labor
that is even cheaper than the miserably
paid British help, do not take the place
of American carpets, that people buy
both when they need only one, placing
the rugs on top of the carpets, or per-
haps feed them to moths i'll the attic
No matter where the rugs or carpets
come from, each one of them takes the
place Of an American product.
Now let us see how "small' is the
proportion of machine made carpets.
Last year the United Kingdom sent us
556, 267 square yards out of total of
873, 55S square yards of carpets import
ed, over 60 per cent of the whole. Other
European countries sent us $40, 696
square yards, leaving only I 800 square
yards sent here from Japan and other
countries in the orient and elsewhere.
AS for our exports of carpets they were
$4,000 square yards less under free
wool in 1895 than Ill 1894.
There used to be some display Of skill
and artifite III the mendacious methods
of the New York Times, but we are
sorry to note that it has now degenerat-
ed into nothing better than a blunder-
ing, don care hang, every day sort of
liar, so that a ready reference to the
official Democratic statistics promptly
exposes the fraud. But we suppose ii
must lie for living.
The true northerner., 1896-04-15

It Works Exactly the Opposite In Prac-
tice tn Democratic Promised Theories.

"Give us free wool" for the United
States used TO be the cry of The Even
ing Post of New York, and 1.-THE shoddy
mills would shut mp with much cursing
and execration Of free traders" The
Herald's cry was that "shoddy is not
exactly the thing TO protect Americans
against western blizzards.
We got free wool. and in one single
year of free wool imported nearly ten
times as much shoddy as we did in all
the four Mckinley years put together.
This didn't make our shoddy mills
"shut up," though it is doubtful wheth-
er they can earn an honest competence
when we consider the class of goods
that is coming here from the shoddy
centers of England. The Manchester
(England) Guardian, an old, conserva-
tive and trustworthy paper. described
them as follows:
"How far local firms are justified in
producing snowy, but half worthless
cloth that will be sold TO the American
retail buyers-farmers, artisans and the
like-is another matter. The possibility

turing a cloth at Is. Cd. per yard was
secuted, but today there are makers to
be found able TO produce good looking
masses of the poorest shoddy kept in
form by low cotton warp, at from Is.
Sd. per yard.
This is the effect of free wool. 1t is
the practical result of great Democratic
free raw material theory. 1t is condi-
tion that confronts us. British manu-
facturers are sending us "a snowy, but
half worthless cloth that will be sold to
the American retail buyers-farmers,
artisans and the like" This is heavy
grade Of stuff, intended for overcoats,
and it costs but 30 cents a yard, double
width. This is the stuff that has closed
our woolen mills and will also make our
shoddy mills "shut up" This is the
"good, honest English" stuff that is to
clothe our farmers, artisans and the
like" though it is mot exactly the
thing to protect Americans against west
ern blizZards.
But it is the result Of the tariff that
every Democratic paper in the country
wanted and worked for.

IMPORTS OF wOOLEN MANUFACTURES.

Last year the Democratic gift of free
raw material to woolen manufactures
more than doubled our imports of for
sign woolen goods as compared with the
average value of similar imports during
the four years of Mckinley protection.
The exact increase was $50, 599.S13. II
we take one-half of this amount as the
value of the labor employed in making
such goods, then the loss to American
labor employed in our woolen mills was
81 800, 900 On single year of free
trade in the raw material of only one
industry
But the loss TO our wage earners has
been more than this, and for several
reasons. In the first place the imports
Of last year s woolen goods, so called,
very largely consisted of the cheapest
quality of stuffs, in which rags, mungo
and shoddy formed the bulk of the COM
ponent parts. Hence the increase In
value does not fairly represent the in
creased quantity of goods imported,
which was greater than the value indi-
Gates. Another reason is that when the
purchaser of these cheap goods begins to
complain Of their bad wearing quail
ties, he is informed that they are
American goods, and that he had better
buy foreign clothing hereafter. This
tends to check a subsequent demand for
the produce of our own mills, and thus
it checks their output and again the de-
mand for American labor.
As the value of labor is so much less
in Europe than here, "a better grade of
goods than we imported so largely in
1895 could undersell American goods of
similar quality if existing tariff condi-
tions were continued. AS the value of
labor in most American industries repre-
sents more than half the cost of the fin
ished article, the estimated loss to labor
is greater than we have stated in the
case of last year, woolen imports. La
Dor in every industry would be affected,
in precisely the same ratio as labor in
the woolen mills, if the tariff in all in
dustries were OH the basis of the woolen
schedule Of the Wilson bill. Hence it is
the duty of labor TO reflect not only
upon its actual position of today, but
upon the possibilities of its future con.
ditions, should the free raw material
craze be. by any possibility, extended tc
every other American industry. Labor
has had it's lesson. Labor knows the
remedy-to vote, at every opportunity,
against every candidate for congress who
favors free trade.

senator sherman.s Point.

During the first year of the Wilson
law the agricultural imports, all of
which are such as are produced in the
United States, the most common products
of our farms, were of the value of $107,
342, 1922. During the last year of the
Mckinley law the imports of the same
farm products were of the value of SOL,
414,S44. So under the Wilson law the
imports of agricultural products, which
we produce in the greatest abundance,
were doubled in amount as compared
with the amount imported under the
Mckinley law.-Hon. John Sherman.
