JACKSON. GA., FRIDAY', SEPTEMBER 16, 18S2.
PECK RIDDLED.
* DISSECTION OP THE NEW YORK LABOR
COMMISSIONER’S REPORT ON THH
EFFECT OF THE TARIFF ON LABOR
AND WAGES.
Labor Commissioner Peck, of New
York, having made an alleged investi
gation of “the effect of the tariff on
wages,” has issued a one-sided report in
which he claims that protection is a boon
and the McKinley law a blessing. Mr.
J. Schoenhof, a weli known writer on the
tariff, thus riddles Peck’s peculiar re
port in the columns of the New York
World:
Mr. Peck’s totals show a net increase
in wages for 18J1 over 1890 of $6,377,-
925, and a net increase in products in
this State during the same period of
$31,815,180.
I will not inquire iuto the relevancy of
the statement to the McKinley bill or any
other tariff measure. If the increase does
not show more than toe ordinary ratio,
the report falls short of its purpose. So
long as no data are furnished, as by ihe
United States Census, covering all in
dustrial occupations, the inference is not
excluded that selections are made with
a view to covering a certain end in view.
Many very important industries are left
out. Cotton, woolens and other tex
tiles, iron and steel products, etc., are
not mentioned at all. Did they not
■how a sufficient increase iu wages to
parade them as glorious examples of
tariff benefits? Yet these are the prin
cipal industries which have received
tariff favors.
I will show, in round figures, their
rates of increase, under the beneficent
protective tariff, from the census of 1870
to 1880 (in thousands)
PRODUCTS.

terials 10,700 7,500 3,200
Iron and steel and
manufactures 53,000 27,000 26, OX)
Hero we have the principal industries
which cau be classed pre-eminently as
protected industries suffering a decline
within one brief decade of $33,000,000
from $89,000,000 in 1870 to $56,000,-
000 in 1880. In the cruder irou and
steel products and manufactures New
York State, in 1870, contributed over
15 per cent, to the total product of the
United States. In 1880 the percentage
of the State of New York had gone
down to 8 per cent, in the total of these
industrial products. Under the blight
ing influence of the tax on the raw ma
terial the industries falling under these
headings have become tranferred from
the Democratic State to the Republican
State of Pennsylvania.
It is not known to the writer that a
perceptible increase has taken place in
the succeeding decade, which is to be
covered by the expected returns of the
eleventh census. All reports have so
far tended to advertise further decline
in these industries iu this State. If proof
were required further thau that of the
Senerally known condition of these in
ustries iu New York State, the omis
sion of Mr. Peck to inclose them iu his
tabulations would have furnished it.
Cotton goods have not increased
either, as is well known. Their manu
facture becomes more and more concen
trated in certain favored localities from
natural causes, the same as iu England.
In all wool goods the decline is general
and alone due to the tariff on raw wool.
The decline in the consumption of wool
in proportion to the growth of the popu
lation, and the corresponding increase
in shoddy aud wool substitutes to make
up the deficiency, give full evidence of
the benefits of a tariff on raw materials.
The increase iu shoddy goods, of course,
would make up for the difference. But
the silence of Mr. Peck does not seem to
warrant the assumption that increased
prosperity came to the working people
in 1891 in excess of that enjoyed in
1890, against the general depression in
woollens everywhere else, a fact so well
known to everybody at all familiar with
the trade. The three branches cited
suffered a decline in wages paid out and
in the number of work people employed,
according to the census tables, as fol
lows (in thousands):
WAGES AND HANDS.

products 9,900 18,634 4,991 13,567
Totals $15,150 33,689 $8,364 28,680
These industries suffered a decline to
the extent of $6,780,000 paid less in
wages and 5018 fewer working people
employed. But what is of further and
greater significance Is that the rate of
wages, as shown here, ha3 gone down to
the extent shown here.
The average per hand employed is as
follows,

This is indeed a showing which would
give the death-knell to any high-tariff
sentiment still rampant in the greatest
manufacturing State of the Union were
any facts wanted to prove the absurdity
of the claims usually set forth.
I will not draw any inferences from
this nor generalize on the tacts further
than to show the positions of certain in
dustries which ought to have steadily in
creased in product and in wages paid
out un ie? tne be i Kiflov
tariff, but hae, on lua coatrarj * i
the heaviest decline.
That these facts have been ignored hr
a Democratic official authority of the
State and spurious facts substitute 1 to
bolster up the policy of the opposition
party is the only thing which gives a
somewhat serious tone to the absurdity
of the publication.
A comparison of the product, of wages
and of hands employed in industries
furthest removed from the influence* re
ferred to shows on the contrary the
following increases:
Product. Hands.
(Thousands.) (Thousands.)
Boots and shoes... .$17,813 *4.993 11,409
Clothing 44,718 8,195 26,090
Women’s clothing,, 4,83) 14,272 42,199

Boots and 5h0e5....518,979 $4,902 13,400
Clothing 81,133 15,2 4 63,ail
Women's clothing.. 130,412 37,322 90,000
It has been demonstrated sufficiently
by comparisons made here and abroad
that labor in boots and shoes is cheaper
than in Europe. In clothing a tariff is
ineffective. Fashion and taste alone for
bid importations of ready-made clothing
and give a clear field to the ho ne manu
facturer, though his materials, by tariff
taxation, are so much higher than the
foreign clothiug manufacturer has to pay
that the protection by the tariff on
clothing is quite neutralized. In other
industries where tariff protection is
equally ineffective similar showings can
be made. In clothing, the least pro
tected article, the increase is highest:
/5 per cent, iu product, 125 per cent, in
wages and 150 per cent, in the number
ii hands. Women’s clothing has risen
in the product from four aud a half
millions to over tweuty millions. The
new census will show a heavier increase
yet. These items suffice to show the
damning evidence of facts ignored by
Mr. Peck. Having pointed *' -n out I
will now return to the facts adduced by
him to support his theory.
The increase in products is set down
as $31,000,000. The increase from 1870
to 1880 was $300,000,000. Considering
the price inflations of all commodities,
as compared with 1880, and the decline
in such important industries noted above,
the increase of 1880 over 1870 shows for
New York fully $400,000,000, or 66 %
per cent. On the same basis of progres
sion the $1,080,000,000 of 188) ought
to have grown to $1,8)0,000,000 in
1890. The years of the end t>f the de
cade, however, must show the greatest
ratio of increase, partly on account of the
increase of 25 per cent, in the population
of the State and partly on accouut of the
general trade activity ruling in ISB9,
1890 and 1891 against the great stagna
tion ruling and spreading in intensity
from 1883 to 1887. The ratio of in
crease ought from these consideration* to
be nearer a hundred millions than seventy
millions, which would be the average of
the decade. If Mr. Peck is not able to
*how more than thirty-one millions of
increase he and his theory stand con
demned by his own figures.
Reed on “Extravagance.”
Ex-Czar Reed is something of a
humorist in his way and he has seldom
been more humorous than ho is now in
accusing the Democratic Home of “ex
travagance,” because with a Republican
Senate and a Republican President
against it it oould not repeal the sugar
bounty act, the steamship subsidy act
and suoh like acts passed by the Reed
Congress, with the deliberate intention
of increasing the expenditures of the
Government and making the increase
permanent.
The Reed Congress and the Harrison
administration have run the annual ex
pense for pensions alone up to $140,-
000,000, so that with this and $10,000,-
000 a year for sugar bounties we have a
permanent expense of $150,000,000 a
year altogether aside from what are
properly the ordinary expenses of gov
ernment.
Under the Disability Pension bill and
other pension acts now in operation the
annual expense for pensions will increase
for some years to come. It will reach at
least $150,000,000 a year, and the only
chance the country has of getting rid of
it is by outliving the pensioners. The
sugar bounty will be repealed as soon as
the Democrats elect a President aud a
majority of the Senate. Until then it re
mains with the other permanent charges
imposed on the country by the most
scandalous Congress the country ever
had.
With a Democratic Senate these per
manent charges can be greatly reduced.
When Mr. Cleveland is inaugurated he
will certainly renew the practice of that
strict economy which characterized his
first administration and resulted in the
surplus which Harrison has dissipated.
In the meantime Harrison is responsi
ble before the country for the increased
expense of his radical administration. He
is costing the country a round hundred
million a year more than Arthur cost it.
Where is the Republican who will say
that Harrison is worth this much more
for the country? It may be that we are
to have another Republican as Presi
dent in the future. If so, let us get one
who costs less and is worth more for the
money.—St. Louis Republio.
Why Wages Go Up.
The protectionist says that wages go
up because of the taxes he levies on
labor.
The truth is that wages go up because
labor becomes more effective. If two
men, witn improved m Hennery, can
produce what four men did before, the
pay of each of the four being a dollar a
day, the employer can afford to pay
each of the two men $1.50. He
will make a dollar a day by the opera
tion, and the cost of labor in his pro
duct will be just that much less than it
was.
In a late number of the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter ig a capital
answer lo the question we have asked.
To-day the help that ten years tended
120 spindles in worsted mills are tend
ing 160 spindles, “making the increased
production, it is declared, of at least
equal quality.”
The Noble comb has taken the place
of the Lister comb and it “gives double
the quantity of top, in the same time,
from the same stock.”
The change from the fly to the ring
frame gives 4000 revolutions a minute,
instead of 2600.
Machine-dyeing has taken the place
of hand methods, so that “m the use of
acid-dyestuffs feats are accomplished in
less than two hours, and in the employ
ment of sweet dyes in less than four
hows, that by the uncertain hand pro-
acsses would demand several day- for
their performance.”
These are facts that have had a 9trong
influence on wages in the worsted in
dustry. Wages depend upon efficiency
and product as well as upon the law ot
supply and demand. Invention has
greatly multiplied man’s power, and
therefore the man receives more for his
work than he did when his tools cuabled
him to produce less.
When a protectionist says that wages
depend upon a statute that he has com
posed he is simply slanderiug human
genius.—New York World.
Wages Not Dependent on the Tariff.
“If the workingman pursues his in
quires furthur he will find that during
that famous period when the United
States had a low tariff, from 184(5 to
1861, wages here wero as much higher
as those in any European country as they
are now, and that during that low tariff
period they were steadily rising. He
will find that wages in this country have
always been higher than European wages,
not on account of any tariff, but on ac
count of the circumstances surrounding
us—the large quantity of cheap, fertile
and easily accessible land; the almost
inexhaustible abundance and variety of
natural resources inviting enterprise; the
exceptional energy and productiveness
of labor in this country, aud so on.
He will find that the wages of persons
engaged in such labor as is not protect
ed by any tariff at all, such as employes
of transportation companies, house ser
vants, bricklayers, carpenters, bakers,
’ ongshoremen, plasterers and many
others, are among the highest compared
with corresponding wages in Europe.
Finally, he will find that employment
and wages are as dependent on the labor
market and the state of business in high
tariff America as in free trade England,
and no less; that labor organizations
have as much influence on such things
here as in England, and no more; and
that the promises which the protective
policy is commended to the favor of the
laboring men cannot possibly be fulfilled
by any tariff law, and are, therefore, a
delusion and a dhare. —Harper’s Weekly.
“Protection” for the Dairyman.
The dairyman needs protection against
the tariff on tin, which,for the protection
of the tin barons, is saddling every dairy
man with an indirect tax of not less than
25 cents for each and every cow in Am
erica which produces milk. Tax on tin
milk-pails, tin milk-strainer3, tin gather
ing cans, tin settling cans, tin-lined cream
vats, tin-lined cheese vats, tin cheese
hoops, etc., etc. Tin and tax every
where.
The dairyman needs protection against
the tariff on salt, which is a direct tax on
every butter-maker using English salt,
to the extent of one cent per head ot
every butter cow, and an indirect aver
age tax of $2 per head on every butter
cow whose butter is not salted with Eng
lish salt, and with cheaper salt. The
estimate i3 based upon the average make
of 200 lbs. per year for each butter cow,
and the low estimate of difference in
flavor and keeping quality from use of
different salt than English dairy would
be one cent per pound of butter, or $2
per head of cows.—Mercantile aud Ex
change Advocate.
A $500,000 BLAZE.
Business Houses at Albany, N. Y.,
Burned.
About 2 o’clock Sunday morning fire
broke out in the upper portion of the
Lyon building, on the north side of
Hudson avenue, between Green and
Pearl streets, Albany, N. Y., and spread
with frightful rapidity. When the fire
men arrived the entire top story was in
flumes and there was a perfect rain of
sparks upon the surrounding buildings
and into the adjacent streets. The fire
appeared to have caught in one of the
upper stories occupied by shirt factories,
and had made such headway when dis
covered that there was already danger
that the front wall, five stories high,
would fall into the street.
At 2:30 the fire which started in what
was formerly the Second Reformed church
had spread to the north end of that struc
ture, the flames licking up the wooden
pillars of the old belfry, and poured up a
solid column of flame over a hundred feet
in the air. The entire department was
on the ground, and the indications were
that the entire block bounded by Hud
son avenue, Gre< n Brave and South Pearl
streets, would be swept away. The loss
will not fall short of $500,000.
KILLED BY BRIGANDS.
Fire Men Waylaid in the Sierre Madre
Mountains.
A news special of Friday from Duran
go, M xico, says: Celeas Mertez, agent of
the S f ate bank of Durango, was on his
way to Mazatlan, through the Sierre
Madre mountains on Wednesday with
SIO,OOO in gold coin, being transported
in bags on the backs of burros. Knowing
the dangerous character of the country
through which he was to pass Martez was
accompanied by five guards well armed.
Fifty miles south of Durango and just
as they were making the ascent of
a range of rugged mountains they
were attacked in ambush by brigands,
who have been the terror of that section
for several years. Two guards were killed
at the first volley, Mtrtez and his re
maining men returned the fire, but were
soon overpowered and shot down, with
the exception of one guard who escaped,
tie told his r*ory to the authorities and
governmext troops hastened to pursue
the robber*.

A Giant Cactus.
Philip Betts, the mail carrier of the
village of Newportville, has a cactus
plant whicn is the talk of the surround
ing neighborhood and which many per
sons interested in floriculture have visited
from this city, says the Philadelphia Re
cord. Mr. Betts got it when it was a
year old and has, with his wife’s aid,
taken remarkably good care of it for
seven years, keeping it in the house in
the winter and getting it out in his pretty
garden as soon as the weather became
warm enough each seasoD. During the
past winter, however, the plant de
veloped with 6uch surprising rapidity
that when the time came to move it to
the outer air, it was found that it could
not be taken through the doorway or the
windows, as it had a spread of six feet
in one direction and nine in another,
and had reached almost to the ceiling of
the spare room in which it is kept. Mrs.
Betts declined to permit any of the
branches to be cut ofl, and so the plant
still remains indoors where it has been
admired by persons from the surround
ing neighborhood. It has never shown
a tendency to bloom, but its proud
owners hope that next season it will do
so, even if it is forced to remain a
prisoner in the room which it has out
grown, but which fortunately is one that
is well aired and gets a generous supply
of sunshine.
