,ra,ufncturers Against the Tnrin biiA'
One of the most striking indications
Of the Growth of sentiment against
,,roteotiop and of liberal ser
upon tariff matters Is the ,h
AGAINST the pending r dment
manufacturers As'- ,,over,ent
ed States nj -.rifr bill by the
tensiye N ociation of the Unit
MACH d. A. B. Farquhar, an ex-
o. anufaoturer Of agricultural
Lery at York, Pa, is at the head
the movement.
Il 1t is well known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
y of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in tho fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
3 protection and are we'll able to take care
> of themselves. All they ask is to have
a untaxed raw material, so that they will
;. not be placed at a disadvantage.
= A great list of other industries are
% practically in the same position and de-
/ sire free raw material more than they
q desire protection. 1t is also significant
! that the manufacturers, in their petit
e ton to the senate, declare that their
e aDlllGJ 10 employ American labor VIII
y be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi
>, nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and Gripping American enterprise
d shall be broken down.
e The plea which has been used for
y years by the protectionists - namely,
/. that protection is in the interest of
= American labor-is shown by census
figures to be sham. OF the 5000, 900
persons employed in manufacturing in
a the United States it is shown in the pc
al tition that less than 200, 600 are en-
20 ployed in occupations subject to active
.. foreign competition and GIG, 900 in
occupations subject to moderate for
az eign competition. The remainder, over
4, 900, 900, do not come at all in compe
A. tition with foreign labor.
: 1t is very plain that the Dingley bill
9 is not designed. any more than any other
high protective measure was designed,
to protect American labor or to pro-
duce revenues for the government. 1t is
designed primarily to protect the trusts
and to foster monopoly
