TWENTY--SECOND Y FACTS FROM JOHN SHERMAN Ohio's fenior Scnator Preaches the Gespel of Protcotion, CUR COUNTRY UNDER THAT SYSTEM Benefits That fave Accrued to the People Since 1ts Adoption the Orator in iy Politieal Pointe Creverasp, O, Sept. 30.—Senator John sherman spoke at North Fairfield, Huron county, today. It was his opening speech in this campaign and he went into the Four toenth congressional district, whero there is abitter fight with Congressman Harter, democrat, on one side and 15, G. Johnson, ro- puolican, on the other. About 5,000 persous were present. Senator Sherman first ro- viowed the material progress of the United States and a protective tariff sinco 1801, claiming that all the prosperity was due to the republican policy. Then e sald: “*We stand by this policy. We maintain and de- fend it as constitutional and right, as beno- ficial to all classes of our people and as ouo of the best results of republican policy.” He reviewed the tariff planks of the repub- lican and democratic parties and denied the democratic charge that protection was o fraud upon the luborer for tha benelit of the fow. Stneo the pro‘ective tariff had become the settled policy of the country the laborer 1n the United States was conltesscaly better off than 1 any other country in the world at any time. ‘This was shown in wages; in the enjovment of ewvil and political rightss in the «ducation of childrens in social standing, and in the possibilities for the future. Protection wus not fraud upor. labor. Neitk eas it for the benofit of the few. No discrimina- tion was made 1n the protective tariff in fuvor of the employer ugast ke lavorer. “here might be diferences of opinion as to wuges, but the laborer was as free to chooso his mode of employment as was the employer, Senator Sherman then discussed the con- stitutionality of protection and quoted Jef- ferson, Madison, Movroe aud Jackson, who, lie said, wera all in favor of protcetion. Calhoun, he continued, first promulgated the idea tnat protection was uncoustitutional in the days of nullification in 1553, and General Juckson said thatif he tried to carry out his ideas he would hai g bim as high as Haman. Tn conclusion, the senator said it was for his hearers to choose whether protection for America should bo continued, cr whether they would carry out the idea of the conled erate states and the free traac notions of commercial citics and of professional dudes, whose only idea was that “it is Euglish, you know.” SPRINGER MAKES REPLY, Declures That . Statements Are Drkalm, 1L, Sept. 30.—Representative Springer of Illinols addressed a large audi enco at this place today. He repled to the mterview of Mr. Justice, a member of the firm of Justice, Bateman & Co., wool deal of Philadelybia, in the Assoclated pross dis- patcties of the 20th instant, Mr. Springer said: “In a speech at Jacksonville, IiL, last Tuesday, [ took occasion to expose the parti- 51 character of cortain so-catied trade circu- s 1ssued by Justico, Bateman & Co., wool and commission merchants of Philadelphia. T pointed out the fact that this firm had, in ats cirveular of July 20, 1592, published figures which purported to give the price of wool of the same grade and condition in London and 1nthe United States during the past twenty- five vears, the time covered by our high gro- tective tariff on wool, and that these figures showed that American wool was worth b1 per «ent more on the average than the same grade of wool was worth in London, I'bis statemert, I then pronounced, was with- out foundution 1n fact, and that it was made for_political und partisan purposes. 1stated at Jucksonville, aud I repeat, wnat the oflicial stutistics furnishea the committeo of ways and means duriug the last session by the re- publican officials of the government showed that the sawe grade and condition of wool in the United States had sold for more than one-fourth of 1 centa pound less averago ia the United States during the past twents- @ve years than in London. 2 an Oflicin “Mr. Justice, a member of this firm, has Leea given a large space in the press report; of which T do not complain, in order to ra fute my statenent, He says the quotations for domestic weol which he used ‘ure taken from Mr. Springer's owu_ report of the ways and means committee to the house of repre- sentatives (see page 44, report No. 150.") This statement is true as to he = quotations of American wool, given in Mr. Justice’s table aro sub. Atantially the same as those in my renort. But the quotation with which these gures are compured are not taken from my report, they aro compared with quotations for: Mshed by that firm, ana not from any oficiul source. Now, I charge that on the face of the tuble of stutistics, which this firm has published, it appears 'that a comparison is made, first, between currency prices in the United States and gold prices in Burope, and that during ten years of this time our cur- rency was deoréciated, avone tiue us high ‘-nu 30 per ceut; uud second, thut the American wool quoted was washed wool, while the Australasian_wool quoted and ‘comaared 1 price wus Now Zealaud cross-bred wool in the grease, and notonly in the grease, but of an inferior quality as com- parcd with the American wool quoted. The tariff on wool in the grease is 11 cents n pouna, and waskied 22 conts and scoured 33 cents, which shows that the legal ratio of wvalue is that washed wool 15 worth 33 pe cent more than wool in the grease. Not- withstanding these facts, this frm of wool dealers publishes o statement comparing American washed woel ut currency prices in this countiy, with Australian wool in the rease, of inferior quulity, at gold prices i ondo. On the Suhject of Shoddy. 00 the subject of shoddy Mr. Justice is evasive and fulls tostate the whole truth, The bill which I ntroduced and which assed the house of represcutatives during ust session placed all wools on the free list and put a tariff of 25 per ceut on shoddy. he McKinley bill taxed scoured wool i cents @ pound and shoddy, which isin the condition of scoured wool, 30 cents u pound. Now, if my bill should become tho law, wool would be free and sioddy would be taxed per cent. Aro 00r manufacturers so anx‘ous 1o use shoddy that they would payv r cent tariff on it, when they could get pure wool without paying any taril what. evert Buttbe anxiety about shoddy is for the protection of American shoady wilis apainst competition with sboddy made abroad. Mixty.one mililon pounds of shoduy were consumed in 1540 in the mwauufacture of woolen goods in the United States, und this amount had a cloth producing capacity equal 10 1he wool product of nearly 30,000,000 sheep. Itis high protection cn wool that stimulates shoddy production and cousump- tion in this conutry. According to tho cen sus report u 1890, American woolen goods contained only 45 parts of pure wool to I parts of cotton, shoudy and other adulter- auts.” » CLEVELAN The Prosident pted on by Two Thousund Feople.
