COLUMBUS. GA-, SEPTEMBER 1ft, 1888
Tlie Effect of Tariff Reduction.
The Waphinpton correspondent of the
Phi’adelphia J^etlger, a gentleman long
acquainted with the unbject, furnishes
his paper with an interesting article upon
the effect of legislation reducing rates of
duty, and he illustrates what he says by
using the Treasury receipts from 1872 to
1888.
An act reducing rates of revenue was
passed in May, 1872, and went into effect
July 1. The act of 1883 was passed in
March and went into effect in July of the
same year. The ftceipts from customs
under both these acts appear in the fol
lowing table:

The act of 1872 was certainly aa act
which did reduce the revenue. It not
only made reductions, hut, by putting
tea and coffee on the free list, knocked
out about $13,000,000 annually at one
lick. The revenue fell off from 1872 to
1870, when it )>egan to rise, and reached
its highest point in 1882.
The tariff of 1883 did not materially
reduce the revenue, and those who made
it were indifferent to its effect. But un
der both tariffs the revenues, after a
series of years, began and continued to
rise. This leads the correspondent to
say that the protectionists are right in
claiming that “reduction of rates is not
calculated to reduce, hut to increase the
revenue by increasing the volume of
importations.
lie closed by saying: “It will be seen
that in both cases the effectof legislation
reducing rates of duty was to ultimately
increase the aggregate revenue, and this
increase is unquestionably attributable
to an increase in the quantities of mer
chandise Sported, as vviil he seen from
an examination of the annual reports of
the Bureau of Statistics.”
The influence of the panic of 1873 was
undoubtedly felt so far,that the revenues
would have been reduced had the tariff
rates remained station try, and for the
same reason, importations would have
increased after the restoration of confi
dence, but that the tariff was a promi
nent factor in these changes is not to be
denied.
But mis is not the question. The cor
respondent, w hile admitting that a re
duction of rates reduces the levenue
temporarily, insists that the jieiinanent
effect is to raise revenues by increasing
importations. He assumes that the mere
fact of increase is decisive of the ques
tion. If so, why should it take ten years
after the reduction of 1872, to bring the
revenues up 10 those of 1872? Why were
they not higher in 1874 and 1875, and
so on ?
We think we can show a way out of
the difficulty. The reduction after the
tariff’of 1872 followed a natural law, but
it went further than it otherwise would
on account of the panic. The importa
tions then began to increase just as natu
rally, not on account of the tariff, but
from the ordinary increase in popula
tion.
The more people we have, the more
they w ill consume, and the more they
consume the more they will import. Had
not the tariff of 1872 been passed, there
would probably have been a decline,
hut it would not have gone on steadil
Ur eight years. On the contrary, the
tide would have turned much sooner,
and the im|>ortatione of 1882 would have
been millions of dollars greater than
they really were.
The Republican assertion that a reduc
tion in rates i ? the cause of increased
revenue, after a series of veal’s, has not
been proved, and is not provable ; while
the Democratic theory, to the contrary,
is proven by the very facts upon which
the protectionists rely.
Our Labor The Cheapest.
A correspondent, who evidently de
sires information, asks the Philadelphia
Record this question: “With raw mate
rials costing manufacturers in this coun
try the same as the English, while lai>or
in this country is higher than in Eng
land, how could our manufacturers make
their goods cheap enough to be able to
compete for the trade of South America,
for instance?”
It is a question which is so often asked
everywhere that, while the Record illus
trated it in its own sound fashion, we
will do the same in another way. The
main idea to catch hold of is that wages
represent one thing to the wage-earner
and another and quite a different thing
to the wage-payer.
Wages to the wage-payer, represent
the product which he buys; to the wage-
earner the labor which he sells. The
more product the w age-payer gets in a
certain time for a certaiu price the lower
wages he is paying; the less product the
wage-earner turns in for a certain price,
and time the higher wages he is receiv
ing.
Lt follows, therefore, that high-priced
labor (in money) may be cheap and low
priced labor (in money) dear to the wage
payer, and that high wages may mean
cheap labor, and low wages dear labor to
the wage earner. It is easy tc illustrate
Suppose A. and B. to be boss black
smiths, employing men to make horse
shoes, and that A. pays $1.10 and B. $1 a
day. Suppose that A.’b man turns out
« aily sixty, and B.’s man fifty shoes.
A.’s ehoes will have cost him 1.83 cents
each, while B.’s will have cost him two
cents each.
Now observe the result. A is getting
his product cheeper than B, which is
w ha* he wants, and A s man is getting
more money than B's man, which is just
what he wants, and both are satisfied.
Then again. A s man is a better worker
than B's man, because he has shown it,
ar.d l>eing a better workman he is a more
intelligent and better citizen every way.
Of course he is working cheaper than
B’s man because be is making a shoe for
$1.83 while B’s man is getting 2 cents
for the same work, but, as he makes
more money during the day, he does not
mind it.
It is for this reason that England,
though paying higher money wages than
Germany and France, gets her labor
cheaper and undersells them all over the
world.
And because our labor is more efficient
than that of England, we can beat her at
her own game when the shackles are re
moved.
This is the wage question, not quite in
a nutshell, but not much extended.
Mr. HIH’h Departure.
Mr. Walter B.Hill, of Macon, has form
ally left the Democratic party and joined
the Prohibition party. He had a perfect
right to do both.
His long letter, which appeared yester
day in at least two daily papers, was
either an attempted justification, or an
appeal to the Democrats of Georgia to
abandon their organization, as he has
done. # We assume, without any hesita
tion, that the letter was intended to be
an appeal and not a justification, because
there is nothing in the present situation
in Georgia, or Mr. Hill’s relation to it, to
render necessary the publication of his
political intents and purposes.
What he says is of no importance at
this time. Though Mr. Hill, and as
many Democrats as he can entice from
their party allegiance, vote for Fisk,
Georgia will give her vote, not to Fisk,
as Sam Small and Mr. Hill would have
it, not to Harrison, as Buck and Pledger
desire, but to Grover Cleveland.
It is not to be denied, however, that,
at no distant day, Messrs. Small and Hill
and whoever they can enlist in their
cause, will force upon the people of
Georgia the iesue of State and national
prohibition.
Until they do there is no occasion for
argument. When they do, those citi
zens of this supposed free commonwealth
who do not agree with them will cer
tainly claim and doubtless obtain a hear
ing.
How it must rejoice the spirit of Tweed
to see his old crony, Hill, running for
office, with Tom Nast doing his level
best to help the party along.—New York
Press. This scandalous Republican news
paper knows very well that David B.
Hill followed Samuel J. Tilden in the
great reform campaign of 1871, which
drove Tweed to prison, and that Tilden
and Hill were that year elected to the
Assembly on the reform issue, and later
served together as the Democratic mem
bers of the Judiciary Committee, which
inaugurated the impeachment proceed
ings against the corrupt New York
j ad gee, Barnard and MeCunn.
There used to be a man in New York
named Budd, who was called “Back
Number Budd,” because his chief busi
ness was in prese ving old newspapers
and periodicals. Had he been living
Mr. Blaine would no doubt have gone to
him when he got his figures as to the
deposits of British workingmen in
savings banks. Bm as Budd was dead
the magnetic man consulted the Ency
clopedia Britannica of 1S52, which was
as ancient a document as he could lay
his hand on at once, and then proceeded
to compare its statistics with those of
this country at this time.
That the British Government should
release John Dillon from imprisonment
before he h*d served his time, for the
only reason that he might die if longer
confined, is a marvelous act of clemency.
The King of the Cannibal Islands might
do such a thing if he felt like it, but that
Dublin Castle, under a Tory Govern
ment, should so act is too wonderful for
comment. It is to be hoped that this
eminent Irishman and Home Ruler will
not suffer permanently from bis long
imprisonment
The Republican Iowa State Register
says that “ex-Congressman George L Con
verse, of Ohio, one of the most promi
nent Democrats in the State, refuses to
support Cleveland in his free trade poli
cy.” The gentleman referred to was de
feated for renomination in 1SS4 because
he had, the same year, moved to strike
out the enacting clause of the first Mor
rison bill. He is about as much of a
Democrat as the editor of the Register.
Johan Most, editor of the Freiheit, the
organ of the Anarchists, is out with an
invitation to his associates to celebrate
11th of November, the anniversary of
the hanging of the Chicago Anarchists
Our advice to Johan is to keep at home
about the time of that anniversary and
be prepared, when he hears anybody
coming, to run under the bed, as he did
before on one occasion he doubtless well
remembers.

Charleston News and Conner, Dem.
Another thing should not be forgotten. The
Democrat* polled the largest vote at tae elections
ofthisyear in Oregon, Vermont and Maine that
they ever polled at any election. Mr. Blaine, in
his .impetuosity, [ calls Maine “a revolution”
when he not only does not exhibit any gains
from the Democrats Sat presents the largest
Democratic vote ever cast in Maine. A revolu
tion means change, but when both parties poll
their largest vote, there is no change, and tne
majority party must logically increase in major
ity.—Philadelphia Times, Ind
POLITICAL NOTES.
All Democrats agree that the prospects of
electing General Palmer Governor of Illinois are
more than good.
The El Paso, Tex., Tribune says the vote of
Texas this year will be one hundred thousand
arger than in 1884 when it was 3.1,380.
The Boston Herald says Congressman John E.
Russell can have a walk over ifhe will run for re-
election in the Tenth district of Massachusetts.
The Democratic Congressmen marked for the
vengeance of the Republican leaders, and to be
defeated by Foster’s "fat,” are said to be Mills,
Bynum, of Indiana and Wil6on, of West Vir
ginia.
The Republicans in boti the Norfolk and
Petersburg Jongressional districts of Virginia are
split wide open, and tbe prospects are good for a
solid Democratic delegation to tbe next House
from that State.
Biadetord, tbe largest cotton manufacturing
city in Maine except Lewiston, went Democratic
at the last election, and in ah bpt ten of the
thirty or mtire fishing towns the’ie were large
Democratic gains.
Gen. J. C. Parkhurst, ofColdwater, Mich , will,
it is stated, be appointed Minister to Belgium,
vice Lambert Tree, transferred to St. Petersburg.
Gen. Parkhurst is a prominent member of the G.
A. R. and a good Democrat.
The following changes of political affiliations
in 29 counties in Illinois, canvassed by the Chica
go Times correspondents, are reported, giving
names of the persons who have changed: To
Cleveland. 126; to Harrison, 92; to Prohibition. 63.
In 19 counties it, Indiana 133 change to Cleve
land, 64 to Harrison ana 14 to Prohibition, dotal
in both States: 259 to Cleveland. 156 to Harrison
and 76 to Prohibition There are many who will
vote for tariff reform who desire not to have
their names in the list.
PERSONAL NOTES.
Senator Beck’s physician says his illness is
nothing but a case of ov<,r-work. He is the
hardest worked man on the Democratic side of
the Senate.
Hon Samuel J. Randall now receives v.sitors
and takes long drives about the country. His
physicians say that he can return to his duties
in Washington in December.
Senator Vance is still ..t “Gombroom” his coun
try seatin Western North Carolina. There he has
a poultry yard with 200 young chickens in it, an
orchard of "limber-twigged” apples, his favorite
variety, and a vineyard of choice grapes He is
naturally very fond of tbe charming retreat, and
has been very anxious for sometime for Congress
to adjourn.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes was seventy-nine
last week. Once upon a time he wrote: "At
thirty we are trying to cut our names in big let
ters upon the walls of ihis tenement ot lite;
twenty years later we have carved it, or shut up
our jack-knives. Then we are ready to help
others and .-are less to binder any, because
nobody's elbows are in our way.”
Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson, of Mississippi,
said recently: "I saw Bishop Harris at the ban
quet given by the Lord Mayor of London to the
Lambeth conference, borne of our bishops had
consul ed with London tailors. It was a real
matter of pride and comfort to me to see the
splendid figure of the Bishop of Michigan clothed
as an Am* man gentleman and bishop, just as
he would be in Detroit.”

The Polo Grounds in New York, tbe
scene of very many remarkable exnibi-
tions in times past, will furnish a quite
unusual spectacle on the 29th. It will be
a Republican mass-meeting and the
speakers who have promised to be present,
according to the Tribune, are Mr. J. G.
Blaine, widely known for various reasons;
Mr. J. B. Foraker, the most highly ex
plosive man in Ohio; Mr. William McKin
ley, who wrote the free whisky plat
form; Mr. Beujamin Butterworth, who
said he had read something
about England’s using Irishmen by send
ing them to this country to vote for free
trade in tbe London Times, although it
never said it, and last of all Mr. J. P. Fos
ter, supposed by some to be the most dar
ing “fat-fryer” in America. These wor
thies will explain to their own satisfac
tion, doubtless, what Republican princi
ples are, by contradicting the oft-expressed
opinions of about every great mau the
Republican party has had in the past
twenty years. A mere glorious prospect
of a great running backward face was’
never promised for the Polo Grounds.—
Providence Journal, Ind. Rep.
Congressman Springer on Maine.
“It is not strange i the Republican ma
jority in Maine'. Tne caDitalists own the
State and nearly everybody in it. The em- j
ployes in the manufacturing institutions ;
either have to vote the Republican ticket j
or get out. Talk about slavery in the
South before the war, it could not be com- j
pared with the slavery that the maDufac- !
turiDg employes of Maine are subject to.
When I think of it I wonder that there
are any Democrats m Maine at all, so
great is the feeling and influence against
them. The Republicans there are ihe
most bigoted and malignant set of people
I ever heard talk. They don't think that
a Demoorat should be allowed to live in
America. I have got enough of Maine
to do me f ir a life time.”

Congressman Oates has indomitable |
pluck, and it makes no difference to him
whether he is alone or with a majority
behind him. The House Democrats’
