THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1890, WHAT THE TARIFF REALLY IS. A Meamre That Proteots the Farmer as Well as Mannficturer, WESTERN VIEW OF THE MKINLEY LAW. A Policy That Builds Up Home Indus- trics, While Compotition Regulates Prices—Fallacy of Demo- cratic Criticism, Oniiia, Neb., Oct. 2.—To the Bditor of fiir Bir: There was recently handed tome for perusal an appirently plausible argument. upon the tariff problem, written, I believe, in the intorest of freo trade, for its author, in ng, remarks: “I ap convinced that al- most cohody is benefited by the tarift, except s cliqic of millionsires who have got rich by $his pite form of begping, while everybody else is piundered for their benefit." In an article which forcesits author to a conclusion so clearly erroneous, one1s apt to fafer that the opening declarations must be equally indefensible, and they are. “How #trange it 15 he writes, “that any American eitizen should sag, when asked bis views gpon the tarff question, I don’t understand ft;" anA again, before beginning kis argu- ment, ho siys: “But first, I want vou to stroll with me down iato the valley of humil- fation aud blush awhile for baving ever been gompelicd to confess that you didw't under- stand tho tariff question?’ Indecd ! William K. Gladstone, the ablest tatesman in England, looking atthe prob- em from an English poiut of view, set. up an elaho argument against the ' American ysten. Following immediately upon its pub- ication came an equally exliustive article from Jumes G. Blaine, i which every promi- ment feature of Mr. Gladstone’s reasoning was attacked, and, from an American stand- point, completely upse! Congressman Morrison of Tilinols, after months of study and of carcful considération, esvited abill for the modification of th riff which, to s majority of his associates, seemeld wofully at fault, and the bill and its suthor wero both set aside, s additions to political ruins. Roger Q. Mills came forward later with an- complete revision of the existing schedule, and immedistely therafter the mostanimated and persistent discussion of this complox question that has yet tuken place in the republicwas bogun,” The bill was heheaded, dissected, revised and reron— structod by the senate and house, but it peverassumed an aspect yhich promised im- rovementupon the schedule in force, and as thereforo put away as aother conspicu- pus fuilure, Wiien the last session of congress began, with a republicanmajority inall its branches, nd arepublican president in - ofice, it was well understood that, the party whose fore- Egbv and judgment for twenty-four ad given to American industries thei pificant devolopment would endeay yise the triff upon the busis of “greatest 00d to the greatest number” Whether or ot the MeKinley schedule will work out the is hoped for, y can tell. nor set of men. ina nation where wre so diversified as they e in will ever be ableto ‘‘understand” this caching problem sutficiently to tell, in sdvance of a test, what measure could be adopted that would "satisfy all the desires of every clement in our natioal family, No man; nor set of men, can framoa bill for regulition of tarift whose provisions would pot beassailed. It is easy to understand the simplo matter of charging animporter a fixed smount for the privilege of bringing to one x:\xmrv for salo the products and wares of other, but this part of the question has Sbout tho sume Teintlon to tho problorn, 18 a whole, thatan alphabet bears to alanguage. Thepeoplo of New England, and of other manufucturing districts, whose prosperity ngm! upon_the success of the industries bout them, are certainly consistent in de- manding thit measure of protection which is gssential o their permanency and success. The lumbermen and _others who are depend- ent upon them in Michizan and Wisconsin may bo biind to the interests of New Eng- land, but they are feurfully in eamest when the 'tariff: on lumber is tireatened. Tne raisers of tobacco in Vireinia and Kentucky fre willing that the duties on limber and oc and a multitude of articles they produce, should be removed or re- but the tariff on tobicco must never be disturbed, except to bo raised. In the west, whero farming is the chief occupation, men ire clamoring for heavy reductions on everything that the east produces, but the man who would hint at removing the tarift pn potatoes and grains would belabeled by the farmersas auenemy. Al sorts of argu- menis have brought into service by demo- eratio speakers toprove to the farmers and echanics how disastrous the outcome must with McKinley's revisions in force. And they are cunning about it, too. hey refer to the increase of duty on tin as an oulrage, but they fail to inform the indus- trious husbandmen that the duty on potatoes, for the prowction of farmers, has been almost doubled. “T'hey seo glaring injustice in advancing the tarifl on gliss, but they rarly alude to the 80 per cent that was added to butter and cheese, “They talkof alleged oppression in an in- erease of duty on woolens, but are always too busy to explain tothe farmers that the tarifl on barley is more than doubled and that duties on ail other grains have been pro- portionately raised. “Thoy foretell disaster from thetariff on a nuniber of protected commodities, but they rarely refer to the most conspicuous of all the changes, one made in the inter 8 multitude’ of farmers who are ra fobacco, where tho duty on Summatra I %as be ised from an average of 55 cents to exictly £ perpound. Nor do they to tho farmer that dutics on beans ha raised from 10 per centad valorem to 4 per bushel; onbacon and hams from to 5 cents per pound; on apoles from nothing to 25 couts per bushel; on beef rom 1 to 2 conts per pound, and o cattle and horses in like proportion, These aro tho articles which enter most largdly intoactive competition with ourown agriciltural products, and the farmers are entatled to protection. Now the impatient free trader will say : ~#This tarfl is oppressivo to tho mechanic And o it goes. The farmer wants the frait of theloomand the workshop, relioved from the tariff; the mechanic wants his meat and his flour and his tobacco without duties; the profossionil and commercial fraterities could easily be suited by bavingall articles free. Iach classof our great population is blind to the advantage of the others, for- otting at times, that prosperity for one is Sepeudent upon the ottier's mod T tis thereforo essential to advancement, and universal good fecling, that wo close our earsto sofishness, our eyes to the night. mares of disturbed imaginations, and stand upona more patriotic level, with a higher eonception of pational prosperity, And tivst, let us understind that an ad- vance in rates of duties is not necessar . deed is mot usually, equivalent t0 a corres- ponding advancein Values. It s tro thit manufacturers'and mer- chauts, forthe purpose of personal gain, ma; raiso the prices on wares, and charge the al- leged necessity for itta tho_tariff, but the advance will be temporary. Let the duties be suficient to prevent forign cheap labor and threo per cent. capital from freczing themout, and competition among A mori manufaturers will keep values where the belong. Tho chief euemy of low prices is the “trust, and congress cun rogulate combina- tions of that sortif they bacome oppressive. 1thas been the mission of democrats, for & quarter of a century. to_eriticize republican aduinistrations; to tear from their ecredit- able achievements the glory to which they are entitled. These political” oppononts have denounced every plan and condemned every act that wpublicans originated or accomp- lished, and yet, in spite of it all, the records of the world would be searched in vain for & rallcl, oreven an approach, to the astound- ng development which has come to our material resouces, since the clection of Abnbam Lincoln, Itis easy to destry, but harder, much banler, tobuild, Chis nation was born of oppression, and nured atthe breast of ..m.‘ii’..,. Liberty of conscience, of thought aud of sotion, the crown and the glory of our citizenship, is & horitage that was only made possible by a century and @ half of sacrifice. There came atime in thedaysof the Pil. N grims when four little colonies conceived the idea that some sort of union, one with the others, would beof infinite advantage to all, Protection, as they understood it, meant more than the fostering of industries. Life and property, and the jewel of their compact, liberty, were all involved. The basis of the confederation was simple, but just, and held the pople of New England togethor tiltheir charters were revoked by King Jam After the revolution, when the colonies wero in absolute financial _distress, the hard- ships entailed by England’s opposition to the development of manufactures, becamo more and more oppressive. During the first seven years, from the close of the war, over §30,- 000,000 in specie were paid to English manu- facturors and _merchants, & greater portion of which could have been kept in the col- onies had home productions been permitted Necossity will sometimes —compel what milder agencies may have failed to accomp- lish, and it proved tobe true in American ex- perionce at that period of colonial history. Anarticl upon “American Manufactures' was published and _given wide circulation by Ponmsylvanin, which began as fol- ows ery man must be convinced that people who have recourse to foreign markets for almost every article of their consumption can be independent in name only, and are in- capabie of becoming either great or prosper- ous." In his first message to congress President Washington called attention to the advisabil- ity of giving official, and therefore tangiblo encouragenent to American_industries, and almost the first bill passed by the new legis. lative assembly provided a tarifl for protec- tion, for rovenue, and for the paymeat of tho public debt, There had existed abond of federation by tween the thirteen colonies, prior to the rev. olution, but each had reserved the right of individual government. When they accepted the constitution and thercby became mem. bers of the union, this prerogative was aban. doned, but the natinal government was under moral obligation to take noadvantage of that surrender of rights, hence the enact- mentof tariff regulation was an effective il- lustration of good faith. Previous to the passige of the tarift bill, the colonies had been drained of specie, to makeup the balance of trade against them, Almost immediately after the bill became a law, the sitnation began to change, and with- in five years, exports had more tuin doubled the imports Attne close of the first decade, the bilance had been augumented to $115,000,000. A sur- plus of revenue began to nccumulate, and Thomas Jefferson asked: *‘Shall we suppress the imports and give an advantage to for- cign over domestic mapufacturers?? And thenanswered the question himself, by sa ing: *“The patriotism of the people would certainly prefer their contimiance, and appli- cation to the great purpose of public educa- tion, roads, ete. ‘The committee on commerce and mannfac- tures, in reporting favorably upon President Jefferson’s message concerning protection, said: “A nation erccts a solid basis for tho support and maintenance of its independence and prosperity, whose poiicy it is todraw from its rosources all the articles of first neces- sity.” ‘e rapid development of American indus- tries was gall and wormwood to the English manufacturers. Oneof the lords, in_parlia- ment, declared that it would be “well worth while to incur aloss upon the first exporta- tions, in order by the glut, to stifle in the cradle the rising manufacturers in the United ‘States.” Congress at that time w equal to the occasion, and upon being con- vinced that: “The ' foreign manufacturers and merchants would put into use all the powers of ingenuity, and would practice whatever art could devise or capital accomp. lish, to prevent the American manufacturing establishments from becoming prospercus and permavent,) it revised the tarifft and raised some items to a considerable _extent, The foregoing matters of record in the his- tory of this nation, have been Eers introdu: in order to refresh the memory of thoso v have forgotten how inseparably the principlo of proteetion has been connected with our national policy since the first federation of the colonies bafore the revolutionary war. Fortunately, or unfortunately, 1s the case may be, thé ' McKinley schedule has been passed by congress on the eve of election. 1f selfishness and could be elimin- ated from our | s, it would make little difference when a bill of thissort should com, for it would be dispassionately consid- ored, Democratic papers and s peakers, know- ing, but not admitting, that intelligent judge- ment_can only be given afterthe law has been tried, have attacked its character, can- demned its provisions and inpugned the mo- tivesof itsauthors. Witha confidence be- gotten of desperation they nassume, what time alono can determine, and declare the bill, as a whole, to be un outrage upon tho Amcrican people They tell the mechanic that because tho duty on tin has been raised that eversthing in that line will immediately be advanced to thatextent. Becausea tariff of 21 cents has been put upon nails made from wire, they would haye us believe that ina very little while we shall pay 5 cents a_pound, by the keg, instead of 337, thut we now are paying, Yet they all know beder, or ought to. The manufacture of wive nails is of recent origin, and the industry has prospered beyond ail recedent, yet the price has been remarkably ow, The duty that is nowimposed is simply a wiso protection. Capital has boen largely invested. machinery perfected, trade worked up, and the popularity of the nails estab- lished. Now that the article has been in- vented, its value shown, and the price brought as low as thoy can profitably be furnished for, does anyone desire to see forcign manufacturers adopt the idea, and by means of their pauper labor destroy so prom- ising an American industry! Not by any means, and the tariff is a safeguard, but nota burden. We aro told that 10 per cent increase in Quties means an equal advance in the price of 0o0ds. If that be true whata host of mill- ionaires Nebraska and Kansas witl have by spring. The advanceof 5 centsa bushel on corn, in these two states, would bring nearly $3,000,000. Fifteen cents a bushel on barley $2,000,000 more. Potatoes, at 10 cents ad- vance, aboat a quarter of 4 million, and so on. Such a statement is, of course, ridicu- lous, yet it is exactly the soph i deo- lusion that is being talked all over the coun- try by opponents to the McKinley bill, Tn the matter of tin, Am \ manufac- turers have been handicapped from the start, English syndicates have controlled the prin: cipal mines and have handled the bulk of tho product. Whenever it has suited their pur. posc to raise the price they have done so, and whenever it has seemed advisable, from pol- v or necessity, to reduce it a little that, too, has been done. ' It has now become known to a certainty that tin can bo mined in this country in limitless quantities. Witha mar. gin for protec of only 1 cent per pound, however, our capitalists liave not been will: ing to risk much money or time in _the devel- opment of tin manufactures, because they could be easily frozen out during the years of beginnings, by foreign competition. But the incroase in tarifl has changed the conditions. Congress has finally given to this industry the same sort of encouragement that has been extended to others of our great material in: terests when they were too feeble to stand alone. Nover in the history of legislation has there been such an awakening of interest in a particular direction, us the additional duty of a cent and two tenths per pound on tin and terne plates has brought about, 7,000,000, to be invested in Itimore, 5,000,000, in Chicago, and the McKinley bill only three weeks on the market. We are told that farmers ave oppressed by the tarift on machiuery; that reapers and plows, nd things of ‘that sort, are sold abroad for half what thoy sell for here. Is the tariffl vesponsible for this condition of things Not by any means, Manufacturers sell their wares for cash to dealers abroad, and it is certaiuly true that the same class of dealers fn this country can buy them at equally low prices. The dificully lies in the mamer of sale. Machines are shipped from the factory to a distributing agent, where they are handled at considerable expense by an ageut of the company or a wholesals dealor. In either case a profit must be made, They go from these distributing _stations, after baviug been three times tandled, to & local dealer or agegt in some smaller town, ‘where they are brought into contact with the farmor. This dealer has a margin of from 2 to 40 per cent profit, and when he sells, in nine cases oatof te, he takes note from the farmer, running one, two or threo years, as the case way be. Ifor thisaccommoda tion thero is usually a bigher price on tbe article, for in @ great number of cases when the motes come due, they will hare to bo extended, or sued, and this latter course, as I learned by seven years' experi- enco in a manufacturing institution, is almost equivalent to an abandonment of the claim, Farmers, as a rule, mean to pay their debts, but since crops and stock are the ouly sources of rovenue, payment of notes depends upon theoutcome of the seasou's work. It may be satisfactory, but if from any cause crops arespoiled, or cattle fail, then extensions of 1“& obligations must follow, Al theso i operations cost money, sothat the difference between what the farmer ultimately pays for a roaper, for instance, and what the manufac turer actually receives, is at least oqual to the discount to dealers abroad. ing machines that are sold at retail for from 1o §75 apiece to the user, can be purchased in quantities from manufacturers at from $15 to $30. If the tariff was removed tomorrow from many of the articles produced in this country, the difference in price would be scarcely perceptible. I have said that when an industry reaches that point where it can cope with any competition tariff should be removed from that particular interest, but 1 am nearly convinced, now, that it is better to let it remain as a safoguard, while home competition, one manufacturer with another, is accomplishing what we all desire—reduc- tion of prices, Only & few years ago Axminster carpets were worth 88 a yard, and were all hand- made. An adoquate protection encouraged not. only American capital but American genius, and before vory long an American had invented machinery to take the place of hands, factories had ‘been erected, prices began to fall, and now we are making 50,000, 000 yards o year and ure practically inde- pendent of foreien supply. Let the tarifl remain, not asa burden, but as an indication to the three hundred manu- facturers of these wares that the government is protecting its offspring. A multitude of instances might be quoted to prove the advantages of protection, butif our people will investigate mattersof this nature for themselves, and not be influenced by plausible sophistry, which seems to be promising §1 for 75 cents, or profit aud pros- perity without labor and sacrifice,n much more healthy and desirable condition of pub- lic sentiment will be develcped, Foreign nations are in arms over McKin- bill. Does any one suppose that they are worrying lest American interests shail suffer? Oh, no. They are alarmed over two natural conscquences which are likely to fol- low. 1. A gweat falling off in their trade with America, which Lias been their most profitable mar 2. They have found American competitors, in outside fields, to be the most formidable of all they encounter, and they are quick to perceive that if manu: facturing establishments are increased, and new industries are brought into being, the genius aud push of American producers will ke them hustlo to hold thelr own, even 1n fields where they aro suprome. Had it been left for me to_frame, there are some things in the McKinley bill that I might have left out, and I am sure that there aren good many republicans, particularly in the west, whodre not in harmony with all of its provisions, But there were opponents to the Mills bill among democrats, there were many personal friends who were decidedly opposed to the “‘horizontal” reduction that Morrison proposed, and it is certain that no one, however wise or considerate he may be, can prepare a schedule for upwards of nin hundred articles, that would be pleasing to ail The present arrangement of tariff was dis cussed in committeq overhauled and amended in both branches of congress, and has now been promulgated as the plan best suited present conditions that congress could devise. As @ republican who believes in the party that can be honored for its achievements, T am willing toabide by its action till intelli- gent judgment can be passed on the measure, through the light and the test of results.
