THE * NEWS VOLUME XX. HUM'S VIEWS. THE r,nR\T WR«T VIHOtNIA LF.ADEK’s LESSON FROM HtSTOICV - PROTEC¬ TIONISTS APPEAL TO FEAR—M KIN- LEY BILL WORSE TUAN TllS TARIFF OF ABOMINATIONS. The strongest appeal which the pro¬ tectionist organs and speakers make is to tue fears of the manufacturers and the laborers in so-called protectel industries. Tney frequently succeed in convincing them that Democratic policies would ob¬ literate our manu acturing Industrie--, and send us all bacif to t le tiila e of the soil, making us abject dependents upon other Nations for all but the product of agriculture. This is so unspeakably absurd, when we consider the advantages we have as a manufacturing people, in our cheaper food, more intelligent and better paid labor, our enterprise and our leadership in the invention and use of labor saving machinery, that one must constantly marvel at its acceptance by intelligent men. But those who cannot or will not sea its absurdity as an argument tnay be con¬ vinced if they will study, a little, our history and experience in dealing with protective tariffs. We began to make protective tariffs in 1816, and it was not the wiser among our manufacturers that called for sue.I legislation, Mr. Everett, in a Fourth of July ora- tiou, delivered at Lowell, Mass., mauy years ago, said, in the preseucJ of the very men who had built up that manu¬ facturing town, that tue sagacious men who established the manufactures of New Engkud were never friends of a high tariff policy. Hon. Amasa Walker, at one time a member of Congress from .Massachusetts, aud a well-known writer on economic subjects, said that it was within his personal knowle Ige that %vheu our first protective tariff was propose 1 iu 1816 the Island, leading manufacturers of Raodo including Mr. Slater, the father of cotton spinning iu the country, after deliberate consultation in the counting room of oue of their number, came to the unanimous conclusion that they had “rather be let alone.” Their industries had grown up naturally and succeeded well, and they desired no interference from the Government. But as u-.ua! the clamor of less far¬ sighted men and the desire of politicians to become a special providence, super- ceding God’s own providence, pre- vailed. Protection began, and, as it ever does, took away this healthy self-re¬ liance, and immediately set its benefi¬ ciaries to crying for more belo. The protective tariff of 1816 gave way to the higher tariff of 182U; that in turn to the still higher tariff oP 1824, and a yet higher ouo in 1828, growing in its rates and its “abominations” until it embroiled the country almost in civ.I war. This is the natural history of a pro¬ tective tariff. Left to us own momen¬ tum, it never stops short of prohibition. Its beneficiaries, al-va 3 7 s disappointed in its promises, are ceaseless agitators for its increase. All our history shows that it never has given and never can give stability and coutentment. Now let us see what was the result when, in 1846, we turned iu the opposite direction aud adopted a •Democratic reveuue tariff. Every representative ot New England, except one who did not vote, voted against the Walker tariff of 1846, and prophesied disastrous consequences to New England manufacturers from its passage. That tariff was about 25 per cent, ou tlie average ot dutiable goods »3 against quite 6v) per cent, under the McKinley bill. Iu .11 years every New Euglaul representative voted for a 20 per cent, reduction of the tariff of 1846, and two-thirds of these representatives voted for the tariff of 1857, which made n reduction of 25 per cent., bringing down the average rates to less than 19 per cent.; aud so well contented were the manufacturers of that section with those rates that when the Morrill bill of 1861 took the first step backward toward protection their representative in Con- gress declared that they asked no in- crease of protection. Hon. Alexander Rice, of Massachusetts, said in the House: “The manufacturer asks no ad- ditional protection.” John Sherman, professiug to urge the bill in the inter¬ est of the^fariner, admitted “the thanu- facturers have asked over and over again to be let alone.” Mr. Morrill himself has since said that the tariff of 1661 “was not asked and but coldly wel- corned by manu;acturers. ’ Senator R. M. 1. Hunter, o. \ lrginia, patron of the bill of IS.),, said: “Hive any of the manufacturers come here to explain or to ask for new duties? Is it not notori- ous that, if we were to leave it to the manufacturers of New England them- selves, to the manufacturers of hard- ware, textile fabrics, etc., there would be a large majority against any change? Do we not know that the woolen manu- facture dates its revival from the tariff of 1857, which altered the duties on wool?” Furthermore, the census of the United States shows that both agriculture and manufactures grew and prospered during the period from 1S46 to 1861 as they never prospered in any like period in our history. Mills were built, forges and furnaces estaoilsned. and, but for the coming on of our Civil W ar, and the necessity for an increased revenue to be gotten quickly, without regard to the fis» cal policy by which it was gathered, we should never have departed from a reve- nue tariff system. War tariffs followed one another, and, since the return of peace, the old road has been traveled over again. Tne manu- facturers who in 1816 were prosperous by their own efforts and asked nothing of Government, having once received protection, became clamorous for higher and yet higher tariffs until they pushed AND PIEDMONT INDUSTRIAL JOURNAL. the country to the verge of civil commo¬ tion. So, likewise, the industries that were content and prosperous under the low revenue, or, as they now call it, tue free trade law of 1857, and asked noth¬ ing, having been “protected” against their will, immediately lo3t all self-reli¬ ance and have vexed our ears ever since for higher protection. In the one era we went heailoag un¬ til the “tariff of abominations” pro¬ duced its own overthrow and opened the way for a more enlightened and j ■nt system of taxation. In the other era we have reached the McKinley bill, far more a clais an i mo¬ nopoly bill than the “tariff of abomi¬ nations.” Out of its enormities we hope to see a revolution in public senti¬ ment that will lead to a saner and jus:ar 8cneme of impost duties, under whica agriculture, manufactures and commerce may all grow with stable and health? vigor, and the expanding markets for our products secara to labor stealier employment, better wages, an 1, wine is far greater, more personal independence, for it is the chief wrong of protection that it3 atm and its result are to. m i ce the laboring man a deoan lent on taa capitalist. W. L. Wilson. Facts for Workingmen to Consider. It has been repeatedly pointed out the rate of wages paid to workingmen doei not determine the labor co3t of pro tec¬ tion. Every employer understands this. An active, intelligent and competent manat high wages is more economical than a stupid bungler. We are indebte 1 to ex-Consul Jacob Schoenhof for an il¬ lustration of this fact draws from the figures of Mr. Porter’s census of 1S9 ). lie points out that common laborers in coal mining get $1.26 in Tennessee, $1.47 in West Virginia, $1.56 in Ive a- tucky, $1.63 in Illinois aud $1.77 m Ohio per day. But the cost of laoor per ton is almost in an inverse ratio, being lowest wnere the day rates rauk the highest: For Tennessee, 82 cents; West Virginia, 80 cents; Kentucsy, 70 ceuts; Illinois, 69 cents, and Ohio, 69 cents. This is in harmony with the results of his own observation and investigation ou cotton manufacturing covering a nonod of ten years, aud extending to Germany, England and the United States. He says American weavers operate six to eignt looms each, while the number operated in England is three to four, aud in Ger¬ many but two or three. American wor*. men turn out more product of wnatevet they have in hand than any others iu the world. We also have the testimony of James G. Blaine to the same effect, in his report ou the cotton industry in 1881. The American workman ts paid most because he is more efficient. The Eng¬ lish workman is paid next best, because he comes second in efficiency. Tite German is third, and the Fiji islandec is last of all. Protection in Germany does not make wages lower than in England any more than it makes wages in America higher than in England. Our products are manufactured at a cheaper labor cost, notwithstanding the high rate of wages, than they can be produced for in auy other country in the world. Our man- ufacturers go into the markets of the world and sell goods lower than E.i- glish or German manufacturers, and they make a profit too. They hire their workmen as cheaply as they can in ninety-nine cases out of 1U0. They do not give the workingmen the difference between what they would sell goods lot- in an open market and what they get for them in a protected market. “Yuen two men are looking for one job, other tilings being equal, the man who will work for the lowest wages gets the job. IV nen two employers are lookiug for one workingman, the employer offering the highest wages gets the man.” This is truism so simple that all can under- staud it. There is free trade iu labor. The only persons excluded are Chinese, and they come from the most highly pro¬ tected country in the world. These are plain facts that ought to be carefully considered by every working- man who has been laboring under the delusion that protection will increase his wages. The man who controls the sale of the product reaps the reward. The workman offers his labor in competition with all the world but China. The manufacturer offers his product in a market from which competition I12S been excluded for his benefit. W'no has the best of it? Who cau command the benefits of McKinleyism? Working¬ men, cau you?—Utica (N. Y.) Ouserver. The Loss to the Farmer. The exports of tarm products continue to fall off, notwithstanding the McKin¬ ley law, and it would be gratifying if the statesmen who have been “poiutug out” to the farmer the value to him 0 f reciprocity should undertake the ex- planatiou ot the present couditioa of thimjs. The following table shows the export of agricultural articles for September, 1891. compared with Seotember, 1892: Articles, 1S«. 1S9L 1,830,353 2.S3S.9U (fWsmda.V.’J 1 >4,015 &W.CS9S oatrnau 277.644 1.355,737 Rye (bush.)... 1.72.157 3.161,537 Wheat (bush.) ... 10,091,800 19,496,174 This falling off is very serious. It means, so far as the farmers are con- ceraed, that Republican reciprocity is the merest sham. The decline has been so great that the total exports of some articles for three months ending Septem- her 30th have been decreased as follows: Articles. isk. 3S9I. f-' jra ..........

Besides exporting less the farmer re- ceivea less for what he sends abroad, as is ahown by the following table of Sep- tember prices: TOCCOA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29. 1892.

If he likes it he will vote for Harrison; otherwise he will vote for Cleveland.—New Yor.c World. General Sic ,les Defen is Cl velani. On the 5th of October, 188S, in the Opera House at Utica, with Presideat Cleveland’s record fresh in his and iu the public mind, General Daniel E. Sic¬ kles spoke the brave and just words of the candidate of his party lor President: “Vow as to President Cleveland’s record in behalf of the soldiers, They charge that he has vetoed a good many pension bills. So be has. I have read his vieivs. I am a soldier. I love my soldiers. Had I been President and a Congress had passed such bills for my soldiers, I should have vetoed every oue of them, too. They were mostly all trauds and shams, and I had no frauds under me. Any rightminded man, sworn to discharge hi3 duty, would have signs! these vetoes as President Cleve¬ land did.” General Sickles, continuing, gave President Cleveland’s record regarding pension bills and said: “I think the Re¬ publicans should hang their heads in shame in the presence of such a record.” Waat that record is the World has shown. Under Cleveland’s administra¬ tion there were 192,U70 pension claims allowed, an excess of 61,638 over the allowances under the Repub.ican admin¬ istration. During General Black’s administra¬ tion of the Pension Bureau under Cleve- Jand there was disbursed for pensions $284,738 000, an excess of $62,112,000 over the payments during the GFarfleld- Arthur administration. President Cleveland signed more pri¬ vate pension bills than were approved during sixteen preceeding years of lie- paolican administration. Mr. C'eveiaud had neither said nov done anything, since General SickleTs just eulogy of him four years ago, to earn the disfavor of any soldier. The Ii-sue of Principle. Judge Gresham ba3 made a concise and comprehensive definition of the dif¬ ference of principle between himself and the Harrison Radicals. “The power of the Government to collect revenue to de- lray its expenses is sovereign and abso- lute,” he said on tbe 20tu of last month while trying a case in the United States Circuit Court at Chicago. “It cau take any man's property without process, but it ought to take uo more thau enough to defray the expenses of the Government.” This is not the view of Harrison, who holds that after the Government has taken 3l) per cent, for its own revenues it should take Irom 50 to 10U per cent, more for the benefit of those struggling, weak, infant corporations which coa- tribute to Harrison campaign funds, Mr. Gresham recognizes the property right of the individual, Harrison does not. A tax of 100 per cent, of value is the denial of all property rights, for it asserts the right of the Government to take the w.iole vame—to confiscate, in this system of confiscation Harrisoa be- lieves while Giesiiam does not. Gresham believes with the Democrats that taxes should be levied for revenue only, and every nonest man must indorse that principle. VVuen Government takes from the earner propsrzy it is not obliged to use for Go*eminent purposes, it robs him under the communistic principle that, through law, the earnings of each should be made subject to the demands of all. In tuat commuuism Harrison be¬ lieves as far as it can be applied to bene¬ fit the trusts and other combinations of corportions; but Gresham will not ad« mit that it is just to take away the prop¬ erty of tbe humblest by force of law unless Government absolutely requires it for its own purposes.—St. Louis Repub- lie.

The Alab-ma Compr-ss and 8 orage Company, started recently at Vesuvius, a suburb of M ut- gomery. It is a mammoth concern cov¬ ering many acres, and is perfect in all its details. It has worked successfully since the opening of the cotton season, and done wonderfully well, working day and night. On Saturday the Mutual Compress Company, loca’ed in th- city, started up with its newiy improved Morse compress, just finished. Both concerns are under able mmagemeut ami mean business. A general strike of warehousemen, packers and drivers was inaugurated at New Oileans Mi nday and all the whole- sale houses are affected. The strike is ^ ue to a refusa l of tiie merchants to sign the tariff presented by the u ions acting U' der ti e auspices of the American Fed- eration of Labor. The chief diff rence is the contention on the p rt of the union thtM otdy Union numbers shall be em- ployed. Th" merchants hold that they have the right to employ whomsoever thf T please and want competent aud re- liable men irrespective of their member- ship in the union. A brutal outrage was perpetrated at D dtou, Ga., just hefoie daylight Sunday morning. A masked mob visi’ed the little city, murdered an inoff ns-ive ne- gro and orutally beat two others. Tbe law-abiding people of the city and cun- ty are justly indunant over the outrage, To show their feelings a mass meeting was held in the courthouse Sunday after- noon, one th- usaud dollars was sub- scr bed to bring the guilty parties to justice, and a committee of three was ap- p anted to lay the matter bef- re Gover- nor Northen.

AH home trade is of enormous volume, mas ing an aggre¬ gate of bank exchanges outside of New dork thus far in October never equalled in the same month of any previous year, the excess over last year being about 14 er cent, and over 1890, when October transactions were the largest f'-r >n record, the excess this year thus is about 9 per cent. Prices are low but merchants are pressing or more husiness at the same rates. All domestic industries are crowded with orders and works, as a rule, are fully employed, many being pushed to wertime by ihe urgent deman t resulting trom an imprecedent* d distribution of goods. Merrim'.cks are fairly supplied and there is reason to hope tb it some re* turn of gold from Europe is n -t far dis- tmt.

Reports from Cnic igo erve this week to indicate the tone of husiness at the wtst. Merchandi-e sales in leading lines are larger than last year, and a great number of buyers in town. Bu iness in dry go als and clothing is expected to he brisk early next week. X ollections are good, real estate dialings heavier, amounting to over $3,000,000, and bank clearing- 60 per cent larger than la-t year. Receipts of all kii d- pr >duce an increase enor¬ mously over last year except, in livestock, wtiicb shows a slight decr< ase. At otoer western poiu s transaction- are enormous and 8t veral report the railroads b'oekaded ay the amount of fn i_>ht offered. At the east business has b eu more ac- ive since the great celebration, and in volume never equaled. Textile manu¬ facturers continue the extraordinary ac- tiv ty fully described in receut r ports. In printing cloths there is someihing like a corner, and three and five yard sheeting, the chief production, is sold into January, and silk gooPs are dearer. Claims agai- st woolen looms never were so large and orders seem to i crease about in proportion to the enorm us distribu¬ tion. In boots and shoes the season is the¬ oretically and cl sing, yet the business is large the woik- all busy, and some cannot meet their orders in six weeks. Many orders come daily by mail with ur¬ gent demands f.»r immediate use, so that stocks are well cl sed out and many hands have been working overtime for months. The iron industry fee’s the impulse of increasing the demand, espec.ally for plaLg a d structural forms, such works being all crowded and a greater demand from shipyards is expected, while the market for bar is moderately good. Notwithstanding the larger production of pig, the market is stronger and some grades have slightly advanced. Specu¬ lation has not been very active except in cotton, of which 92;800 bales have been sold and the price advanced an eighth. P0RT ROYAL TO EUROPE.
