FREE TRADE IN PALTER LABORERS.
1
THEY DO NOT COST EVEN FREIGHT TO THE TARIFF BARONS.
Contract. Litlmr I.aw i'asheil 1,v Republican Congress While Fighting for Their Country the Tin-id- Karons Filled Their
Places with Imported "Pauper I,abor."
One claim may as well be disposed of at once. Protectionists claim that the tariff protects American labor against foreign competition. Does it? Therein no tariff on laborers. There is absolute free trade in labor—the one thing that the manufacturer has to buy, and the one thing that, the laborer has to sell. But the manufacturer says we keep out foreign work. Well, when does the foreign laborer most. interfere with your job—when he is thousands of miles away, working by hand or with poor machinery, producing -goods that have to be transported thousands of miles before they come into our markets? or when he has come here as an immigrant and stands ready to work right by your side on the very machine you work with, to make the very goods you are making? When does he most interfere with your job?—when he stays a foreigner thousands of miles off or when he comes here and bids against you How does it help the employer most—to have him stay at home in Europe or to have him here underbidding you.
So, when your employer tells you that the tariff is to protect your labor, you know better. You did not make those laws, they did: and they left them in such shape that they could buy your labor as cheaply as possible. Their attitude, when frank, is summed in the speech of the gentleman who has been their leader in congress. Hon. William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who, in the house of reeresentatives, when reminded that there was no tariff on labor, said: "YES, MF.N AKE ON THE FREE LIST. THEY COST US NOT EVEN FREIOHT. ... WE PROMOTE FREE TRADE IN MEN, AND IT IS THE ONLY FREE TRADE I AM I'RF.PARED TO PROMOTE." Origin and !)l.ject of Our Present Tariff.
About as good an off-hand way as there is to judge of a measure is to see who is back of it and what they want it for.
On June 30, 1864, was financially perfected the 'system under which the enormous revenues needed during the last year of the war were raised. This system involved increase of internal revenue taxation on the manufacturers and wealthy men and great corporations of the country. Every mannfacturer paid a tax on all he produced. Every man who had an income of over $10,000 paid one-third of it to government. Every railroad, steamboat, telegraph, express and insurance company paid over to government a large per cent, of its gross receipts. There was a stamp duty on every contract and on every bank check.
The internal revenue taxes were hightheir methods were sometimes arbitrary. But they bore directly upon no workingman, and simply called on the wealth of the country to contribute to the common defence. But the bill to raise more internal revenue was accompanied by a tariff bill raising duties still higher than they already wete, thus enabling them to charge more for their goods, and so GET ENOUGH BONUS FROM THE PEOPLE AT LARGE TO MAKE UP WHAT THEY HAD PAID TO SUPPORT GOVERNMENT.
So many of the wage earners had gone into the army that men were scarce and wages were high. This, of course, did not suit the manufacturing employers, and so thoy had passed, during the following week, the act known as the "contract labor law,"' the object of which, frankly avowed, was to keep wages down by importing foreigners to take the place of American workingmen —who were then absent fighting for their country.
As prepared and explained by Senator Sherman the object of the bill was: "To ENCOURAGE, FACILITATE, AND PROTECT FOREIGN IMMIGRATION TO AND WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, the commissioner (provided for by the bill) is to collect from public documents and other authentic sources full and accurate information in regard to the soil, climate, mineral resources, and agricultural products, rates of wages and price of labor in different portions of the United States, and also the means of communication. and the wants of agricultural, manufacturing and other industrial interests of the United States, and so disseminate such information throughout Etirope in a concise and popular form from time to time in such a manner as will best conduce to the accomplishment of the objects contemplated. The information thus collected is to be printed in different languages, at a cost not to exceed $20,000."
When the bill was under consideration, Senator Sherman urged in its behalf: "If an official document, prepared from official sources, could be furnished foreigners, giving them accurate information as to the needs of labor in this country, there is no doubt it would encourage a great deal of immigration. In the western states labor is absolutely demanded common laborers are receiving a very high price. And it should lie clearly shown to any intelligent person in Europe that it is to his interest to come to America, because the prices as compared with each other are decidedly in favor of the laborer in this country, there would be a great increase in the number of immigrants. 1 think, while thus would involve very little expense, it might increase the immigration to this country within a year, probably to the extent of 100,000 additional persons, and within a short time still more increase immigration." A Law Repealed When Cleveland liccamc
President.
And so the law entitled "An Act 'to Encourage Immigration," was passed by both houses of congress and became a law—all on the 4th day of July, 1864— providing not merely for the appointment of a commissioner for the purposes indicated, but also, specially, for facilitating the negotiations abroad of American employers who might go abroad to contract, labor, the second section of the act being:
SECTION And be it further enacted, That all contracts that shall be made by emigrants to the United States in foreign countries, in conformity to regulations that may be established by tilt' said commissioner, whereby emigrants shall pledge the wages of their labor for a term not exfeeding twelve months, to repay the ex-
Ee
enses of their emigration, shall be held to valid in law. and may be enforced in the courts of the United States or of the several Htates and territories: and such advances,
LOUISIANA PLANTER
if so stipulated in the contract, and the contract be recorded in the recorder's office in the country where the emigrant shall settle, shall operate as a lien upon any land thereafter acquired by the emigrant, whether under the homestead law when the title is consummated or on property otherwise acquired until liquidated by the emigrant. Contracted I,nlor Kxenipt from Military
Duty.
And, in order to further protect manufacturers who might import labor, and further to secure to the incoming foreigners an advantage over our citizens, it was provided by the same act that immigrants should not be subject to military service in our own armv for a certain number of years after they arrived.
Such was the origin of our present tariff: a bill sandwiched between the internal revenue act and the "contract labor law" of 1864. It was passed by the same congress and advocated by the same men who advocated advertising in Europe to induce foreigners to come oyer and leduce wages here, and who disgraced our statute book with the contract labor law, by which the same manufacturers were enabled to import from Europe hordes of cheap labor to take the place of the workingmen who were fighting in the field, and who returned only to find their job gone or their wages lower in consequence.
Not much care for the laboring man so far. The pretence was not made till later. When the war was over the taxes were taken off of incomes, corporations and home manufactures, and even the whisky tax was lowered. The excuse for high tariffs was thus taken away. But the manufacturing employers liked them too well to let go of them easily. Then, as a last resort, was sounded the cry that the real object of high tariffs was to "protect the laboring man:" and on that plea, while all the taxes on wealth have been one by one repealed, the war tariffs remain little changed— except that in many instances they have been raised higher than they ever were during the war.
Our present tariff, therefore, was originally a device by which the people at large, the majority of whom are workingmen, were forced to repay to wealth the taxes it paid government. Latterly, though wealth has been relieved from federal taxation, the tariff laws continue to compel our workingmen to pay wealth what is now a pure bonus, which it can—and does—put into its pockets.
With all their professions of love for workingmen. the protectionists have always left free trade in labor, the one thing the'wage earner has to sell while they maintain a high tariff on everything he has to buy of his employers.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY OUR TARIFF WAS PLANNED TO "PROTECT" LABOR.
The Tariff Trusts.
The New York Merchants' Review says that the recently formed rice trust has advanced the price of cleaned rice and reduced that of the raw material. Tims the duty of two cents a pound on cleaned rice, which is pretended to be a part of the so called "farmers' tariff," is used by a trust to squeeze the fanners themselves, and is made to do them more harm than good.
The same thing has happened in regard to cigarettes. McKinley raised the duty on cigarettes, which was equivalent under the old tariff to an ad valorem duty of 113 per cent., to a figure equal to 183 per cent. This also was for the farmer but what has happened? The American Tobacco company, otherwise known as the cigarette trust, was organized in 1890, the great year of McKinleyism, with a capital of $2f),000,000, and includes 95 per cent, of all the cigarette manufacturers in the country. In the fall of 1891 prices were advanced to the dealers in cigarettes, and a system of "rebates" was instituted which puts them under the power of the trust.
But worse than this, the trust has reduced the price of tobacco as bought from the farmer. The particular kind of tobacco used in making cigarettes, that known as "bright leaf," is put on sale in the large tobacco warehouses of Virginia and North Carolina, and the agents of the trust., appearing at the daily sales and finding few bidders besides themselves, get the farmers "bright leaf" at about two-thirds of the former price.
And yet there is a duty of thirty-five cents a pound on leaf tobacco to "protect" the fanner.
The Democrats in 1 888 had a margin of only 30 votes in the First district, 524 in the Fifth, 155 in the Eighth, 430 in the Eleventh and 331 in the Thirteenth. These are narrow margins, and with the complications that the People's party and Farmers' Alliance will create, the Republicans have hopes of reclaiming anywhere from four to six districts.—United States District Attorney Chamber's Interview in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette Aug. 25.
INDIANA FARMER,

One Sided Report.
Commissioner Peck's report, like the McKinley tariff, was made by protected manufacturers. Peck himself admits that he sent blanks for replies as to the increase of wages of the employer, only to manufacturers. As it" is to the interest of the protected employer that the McKinley tariff should continue to give him a bounty on his manufactured goods, it is to his interest to report to the New York bureau of statistics that the McKinley tariff causes an increase of wages of the workingmen. It must be understood that in filling out the blanks furnished them by the commissioner, the New York manufacturers did not give the names of the employes, whose wages had been increased, but simply made statements, unverified and unattested.
If Statistician Peck had desired to make a fair report, one that would have some weight with the workingmen, he should have sent blanks for reports to both sid.es, the employer and employe. It would have been as easy to send blanks for replies to the various trades unions of the state, as it was to send them to the manufacturers. But it was to the interest of Mr. Peck that he should make a one-sided report, which has been discredited by labor organizations of New York.
The New York World has interviewed the officers of the various labor unions, and thoroughly exposes Peck's report as a fraud. These leaders show that where wages have been increased, the McKinley tariff had nothing to do with it, but the increases were accomplished through demands of the unions. In a number of cases it required a number of strikes to bring about better wages.
In this state the workman need no "made to order" statistics to inform them whether the tariff has increased their wages or not. Two weeks ago the Indianapolis Sentinel advertised for the photograph of a workman whoso wages had been increased on account of the McKinley tariff. It received one photograph, and that was from a printer who had been employed extra hours on a county paper to set up sheriff sale advertisements.
The fact that Peck refuses to disclose the names of the manufacturers who increased the wages of their employes is sufficient evidence that the report was stuffed to be used as a campaign document. Beck will be rewarded if Harrison is re-elected.
Decline of l'rlees In Knglund.
The Republican journals which are now claiming that the McKinley law has reduced prices upon the admitted fact that some prices, chiefly articles the duties on which were not raised by the McKinley bill, are now lower than they were two years ago, would do well to extend their observations beyond the limits of our own country. If they would, for example, investigate the course of prices in England they would find that a general downward movement had taken place there. A late number of the London Economist gives the prices of many staple articles in that country in Feb. 1, 1890, and compares with them the prices prevailing Aug. 1, 1892. The table of The Economist shows the following changes, the figures being for tons of 2.240 pounds:
Feb. I, Aug. 1, 1«K. 1892.
Scotch pig iron $12 00 $10 20 Steel rails 32 8(5 19 96 Cleveland bars 3(5 88 XI 33 Copper (Chili bars) 230 48 216 98 Lead 02 84 56 60
The raw materials of the texile industries also showed a decline. Cotton of course fell as it did here, about four cents a pound. Flax fell off $2.50 a ton, jute remained the same, while manilla hemp made the astonishing drop of $114, or "very nearly one-half. Most of the principle articles of food are of course somewhat liigher, just as with us, a result caused by the partial failure of the grain crops in Europe last year.
The question suggested by these figures is this: If prices declined so much in England without any tariff law, how can a much slighter decline in the United States upon some articles be claimed as a result of the McKinley act?
By the provisions of the McKinley bill the rich monopolists have reserved to themselves the right to buy all their wearing apparel in the cheapest markets of the world, and import it into the United States, dity free.
