ARGUMENTS. ‘To affsct. the effect of the pamphlets pub- lished by the frienits of frew trade, the Amer- fean Tron nnd Steel Assoctation has begun the Issue of a series of “Tarif Tracts” to show how the Interests of tha country are dependent upon a protective tariif, and how the conditlon of Jabor In Uils country would suffer if the tarlf should be reduced to one for revenue alone, Elght tracts have atready Appeared, ag follows: Ono of eight pages by ex-Minister Jolin Welsh, entitled “Free Trade and Protection’; one of eight pages entitled “What Protection Has Dono for the United States,” In the form of a letter, by ‘homas IL Dudley, late United ates Consul at. Liverpool, to Mr, C, K. Rawlins, of Liverpool; one of-elzht pages by Giles B. Stebptna, of Detroit, Mich. en- titled “A ‘Lari Is Not a Tax"; one. of twelve pa ing, “Who Is Augustus Mongredlen?” whieh was an editorial of the Association's Bulletin for July 2t last; one of four pages giving some sta- tistles of the foreign commerce of this country since {8615 one of eight paes of newspaper contributions by David TL, Mason. of Chicnzo; one of twelve pages entitled “The ‘Barbarism? of Protection,”—an open letter to John, Bright by Augustus 'T. Freed; and one of four pages taken from the Bulletin Ang. 11 Inst, entitled “Who Are Henefited by Protection?" ‘These tracts nre all published for the apparent purpose of bringing the voters to support protectionlst tloctrines, and are put in the form of plain and popular appeals to men not familiar with economic reasoning, Most af. these tracts are based fn the main npon two views of pro- tection, and are filled ehielly with them,— other protectionist arguments being setdown iniminor importance, ‘These views are just such agate fallacious and lkely to entrap those not used to a finanelal tne of thinking, and tho alleged: proofs are undoubted frets whieh are colneldent with the fact of protec- tlon, and are so held to be the consequence of it, ‘Fhese two particulars held up as proof of the validity of protectionist reasoning are tho following: The great prosperity of the Nution as a whole; the comfortable condl- tion of farmers, mechanses, and Inborers In this country when compared with similar classes in England, In one form or another these two considerations are presented to the yoters of the country as proofs of tha suc: cess and wisdom of our present protective polley, and as reasons why It should be con- thnued. at should always bo remembered, in con- sidering thts question, that there are but few, tf any, ‘persons In the United States who favor or propose the niloption of “freetrade,” as itis understood and exists.in Enginnd, as part of tho polley of. thls country, Free trade, in tho United States, means a tarlil so nijusted as to objects and rates of taxation as will produce the greatest amount of revenue consistent with tho lowest rate of taxation, ‘This point shout always be borne In mind in considering this subject In this country. Now, asto tho first polnt made In these pampliets,—our National prosperity: ‘The statistics of our foreign commerce certalnly show remarkable gains in the last ten years, or since the adoption of the protective policy n 1862, Itisa rather catehing argument to spread theso statistics before the voter, assert that this Immense Increase Is due to protec- on, and then to demand that he, out of re- gard to his own fnterests, shail vote for tha continued Imposition of taxes upon articles which form essential parts of his dally liv- Ing. Of course our Natlonal growth has been prodigious since. the pollcy of protec- tlon was adopted, but the disputant who asserts that tho inunense volume of our exports of agricultural products and manufactured articles is dio to the benevolent imposition of taxes upon iin- ports from abroad might as reasonably, ex- pect to be believed if he should assert that the recent rapid growth of our population, or the gain of 55 per cent since the census of 1860, fs due to the protectlye tariff. The argu- ment Is this: While we have hada protective tariff our exports of manufactured goodsand agricultural products have increused; our Niitlonal prosperity has been great, Henco the prosperlly ts tha wt of tho tariff, It would bo Just ns logical to say that under tho tarlif the population has increased greatly; hence the tariff should have the credit. Such reasoning Is of tho samo plece with that of the dyspeptle nilitonaire who refused to bo cured of his dyspepsia, Io had suffered its painsand become rich; if he shouta be healed, he might loso his ability to make money. Like the millionaire, the protectionists have the fact of prosperity on theirslde. ‘That Is not dented or made to seem smatler than it really fs, but tha free-traders do assert that without protection the prosperity would have beon greater, ‘Lhatour farming and artisan population have done remarkably well under their burdens of tariif taxes, Is only proof that they would have done better without thom, This brings up the tract No. 3: “A Tarif Is Not n ‘Tux.’ A tarlif is not a tax, It ts hetd, first, beenuse tho . price of an article In this country is not equal to what it woull be, duty-free, plus the presont amount of duty, Hut this ts cortain: that the tarlit is partleus larly and avowedly Intended to ratse tho price of imported articles, and so of articles of home manufacture, If tha home price does not equal tho price of the artlele when duty free, plus the existing duty, it shuply proves that home competition breaks tho rise fn priee before the theoretleal sum is reached, Ahigh fence of prive Is raised about an artl- cle, and, because tho ndvanco is stopped by home competition before tho top af the fence Is reached, tt by no means follows that the taxis nots burden or that there ty no rise, It is'n burden to just the oxtent that the price under the tarit exceeds what It would bo with no tari, Agatn, a tariit {s sald not to bo n tax, because under as tarkt manufact- ures are fostered, by which home com- petition beeomes possible and the price is reduced lower than ever, ‘The question fatrly arises whethor the reduced price ts tho consequences of the tariff or of changed commerelal and finanelal conditions, If it Is tho former, thet the protected industries ean now get along without the tariff, and should be, at lenst. indifferent to Its aboll- tlon, But, as the proteptionists stitt ask for protection, it Is a {alr conclusion that thoy fear they could not maintain themsulyes on ea these reduced priees, and that somo cause other than the tarlif should have tho eredit, Alexander Hnmillton Is quoted on the protec. tlon side, But Uamilton tived at the begin- ulig of our National life under tho present Constttution, when, If ever, there might be plausibility ti tho argument for protection for Infantile Industries, But tho country lias been growing for a hundred years, and those industries are still Infants asking for Guyerninent assistance; still afruld to enter the field of business competition alone; still erylng ¢hat prices to the consumers of thelr manufact> ures may bo ralsed by taxation on the prod- ucts of thelr rivals, so that their own profits may be larger and thus they may be kept In business, Even Mr. Welsh, in the first tract in this very series, says: 5 : 1f Congress wil! but continue without change our present system, und eccure to it tho udy vantage of a sound currency, the result will show tho Rrent benedts to be mitted by tho cone Ailence it will inspire In tho cammunity, which will tend ton vast additional dovelopinent and Incrravo of Our resources, Ton years of tints. turbed quiet will onable us to reach n polnt of prosperity nover before attained.

In tho argument all the soclal conditions of Engtand, her wretched Innillord system, her intemperance, her an- tiquity na the home of settled elvitization compared with this country, are wholly over- looked, ‘THe two frets are seen England beteves In free trade; English Inbor Is poor- ly patd and suffering; henee the former ts entise of the Intter, In thls country work- men are better pald, and there.

No, the whole protection argument, based on tho prosperity of this country when compared with the wretchedness of English low life, overlooks the main elements of the case, at- tributes results to Incorrect causes, and takes no-necount of the higher prices whieh are Ind upon the agricultural classes from whose unprotected Inbor comes most of the contrl- butlon levied upon the country to pay the extra ‘profits necessary to enable our pro- tected industries to keep the field, GEN, WALKER'S CENSUS DUTY. Gen, Walker is the Supermtendent of the ‘United States Census which has been taken this year. Hels conceded to be capable and experienced, There is no questlon as to his personal integrity, nor as to his honest desire to secure an accurate enumeration of the in- habitants of the United States and the collec- tlon of correct. statistics within the scope of the census, Butuan emergency has arisen which demands tho exercise of firmness and boldness, including the definnce of strong political Influence, in order to insure a falth- ful completion of his work. ‘The census re- turns from several of the Southern States must bo closely scrutinized and critically analyzed with a view to detecting indleations of fraud, and wherever such indications shall be found a recount must be ordered under conditions that will guarantes an honest enumeration. ‘Tho externat evidences of fraud in certain sections of the South are so numerous and convincing that this recount hns become tho highest duty of the Census Departinent. It cannot bo neglected without doing a grent political Injury to.the most populous and prosperous sectlon'of tho United States. It will probably be resisted by the Sunthern politicians and newspapers with the saine desperatlon which characterizes all thelr sec- tlonal aims, Gen, ‘Walker must incet this resistance with equal firmness, and heshould bo supported by the lending men and jours nals of the North with the samo warmth which will undoubtedly mark the opposition he is sure to encounter. Ono of tho most obvious methods for Gen, Walker to adopt in sifting the returns from tho suspected districts Is to collute the reln- tive increase of children under 10 years of age. ‘Take the cnso of South Carolina asan Instance. It is claimed that the rate of In- erease in that Stato within the past decatte 13 about 35-per cent. It is well known and ensily domonstrable that the increase from fnmigration fas been insignificant. ‘The number of foreign emigrants who haye gone Into that State can bo aceu- rately ascertained from the records of emigration, and will probably be found not to exceed a couple of thousand at most. ‘The people who have gono from the North into that State are chiefly thoso who have re- moved there temporarily for sanitary consld- erations; there ake one or two favorit resorts for consumptives, ‘Tho white aml black ox- odus on account of political proseription has been fully equal te the gains in population from other sections, Of the untive residents born before June, 1870, there has been a large loss by death. ‘lo compensate for this loss, and to add anything like 35 per cent to the population, must have required an average of six orelght children to every faintly dure Ing the past ten years, or a degree uf fecun- adity In. reproduction that would bo shnply marvelous in the whole of a large com- munity. ‘The consus returns will afford Gen. Walker and his assistants the materlal forestimating the actual Increase among the children un- der 10 years of nge In South Caroitna and tho other Southern States which report ex- aggerated growth in population, It 1s esti- tiated that about one-half the children that aro barn die under 6 or 6 years of age, Aftur allowing for this natural loss, an average In- crease on the census returns of even three or four children to every family will be con- elusive evidenco of fraud. -But any less than this number will bo equally conclusive of fraud In the absence of any Increase from Immigration, Jierein is the opportunity for approximately determining the extent of tha forgeries that have been committed by tho Southern census enuinerators, It ts not Hkely that they have been thoughtful enough to distribute tho alleged growth In proper proportion to tha Intants; if {t be set down to an adult growth the fraud will bo palpa- Die, Butif itshall happen that the alleged increase has been nccredited In bulk to the ehildren under 10 years of age, then it will Jead to an inquiry Into the causes which hava suddenly increased the capacity for the wn- pitralicled reproduction of the human specics of the South, Such an increase would necessarily be Binong the blacks to a larger extent than anong the whites, ‘Tho population of South Carotina ts about three-tifths black to two- itths white; about the same proportion ob- tains in Mlasissippl; 4 Loulsiana five-ninths of the population is colored, and In Virginin nbout fournintha; In Georgia and Alabama the whites and bincks aro about equal in numbers, But the leading minds of the South have assured us for years that the blacks have been rapidly dying out by reason of the abolition of slavery, thelr consequent Incapacity to ward off disease and take care of themselves, and the goneral Heentions- jess charged upon them. Ultimate extinc- thon of the race on these accounts has been held by many persons to bo the only solution of the race contl in the South. willbe very. strange, thon, if the census shall show the blacks to be breed- ing and multiplying Hke rabbits, Mut if the alleged Increase be not fn the mati from births among the blacks, then It will he nec- essary, In order to eredit it, to believe that the white wonien of the South have 1 capac. ity for bearing ehildren beyond anything that Nature tins ever developed In the past. This test of the census returns should ho applled by Gen, Walker to every community in the South which reports a suspleidusty- large Increase of population. Missouri, ont- slile of St. Louls, should not esenpe serutiny thon the same basts, for the St. Louis news- papers for yeats have been deploring the fact thas ono new population has been sottling In that State outside of thelr own elly, while there has been nstendy stream of emigration to ‘oxas and elsewhere.

Pending the results of the slegn of Canda- har and the movements of the English re- Hieving columns, the Pal-Mall Gazette, which Is the only paper in England that takes a calm and dispassionate view of the Afghan situation, propounds two or three auestions that It Is strange have not oc- eurred sooner to the English people, ‘These questions ares“ With whom ure we at war In Afghanistan? What are we fighting for? What will victory give us?” Having asked the questions, the Gazette proceeds to an- swer them, ‘The substance ofits reply is interesting because it ts the plain matter-of- faet view of tho situation, which the Gu- zette, alone of all tho English pa- pers, 13 couragcous enough to take.
