Query What is the meaning or all this “abutting down,” and stop page of mills and factories?— Itnuiarks.—Under our protection tnrlfl and ilio large profit) obtained aa a result, manufacturing has been stimulated so that we are making more than the home market can dispose of. Manufacturer^ are com peting among tliomselves, and this reduces wages, for the wotkers arc also increasing, and strikes arc tin- successful. Tho masters am the last to lower profits, hut their tiino is coming, and to keep up prices they combine to limit production,a» they cannot compete with other nations in a foreign-market. When you bear a manufacturer arguing'tor "protection flf homo Industry,” in favor of a tariir, you may be sure It is not for tho sako ol the workers, but to lave his own profits, If this class would be satisfied with less profits, they could go into the mar kets of the world, and compete with the workers of all nations in the most of manufaolu.'ed articles. 1 As it is they have shut themselves out of a field where they might have an unlimited market for their ware- and no stoppages. Thu consequence is that the mamilactill'er, to save his own profits when the home mar ket is over-siockcd, ceases lor weeks or months, and tliu loss fails upon the working class. If tills goes on much longer, und it must, as things now stand, the working man will bo no longer persuaded that a high tariff is for Ids benefit, blit rather for the benfit ot the employer, whose temporary expedient of “(hutting down” will ultimately damage him too.—Elmwood Mes senger.
