the factories must be much higherthan the rewards cf agriculture andthis difference- in tfie wages must bomade good by heavy t nation on arti ¬

cles of consumption1This is a statement of whole case

It is the argument of ever intelligentadvoeatoof ultra protection Casuistto make the doctrine more attractiveadorn it -- vith all kinds of rhetoric butsi ripped of all falsehoods and absurdi-ties

the paragraph embodies thow hole argument

The farmers havtto decide whetheror not they are willing to submit toheavy taxation for the benefit of fhcscspecial industries the working menshould know tha heir high wages arenot due to the tariff but that the taitllis a device by which their employersmake the farmer pay the manufacturerthe difference between wages in Amcr- -

These facts aregrulunlly lvcognicdand now we notice in the Atlanta Coniliition and other of our tariff exchanges this new argument

Here Is something we our frco tradrcontemporaries to digest Nine tenths of allmauufactu cd articles used by farmers arochespcr m the Uuited Slates than ta Kugland

The protective tariff on manufact-ured

But the demonstration docs not endhorelf as -- ome of our exchangesclaim nine-tent- h- of the manufacturedarticles consumed by the farmers nrecheaper in the United States thau inEngland our export of these articleswould bo greater under a high thanunder a low tariff ltisnotso In 1800with a tirlffof IS per cent our exportsof cotton goods amounted to 10l00000 in lS7- - with a tariff of IS percent these exports had fallen to2300000 wealing apparel and wool ¬

ens exported had in the same periodfallen offi2 pur cent leather and manu¬

factures 23 per cent other manufact ¬

ured articles 21 per cent showingthat the mill bosses pocketed a bountyabout equal to the tariff

Still further If these articles arccheaper here than in England our ex-

port¬

trade should be larger than En-

yet in lfO we sent to Mexicoand South America our own ncighborsrL9J 100 of cotton against En-

our total product These figures arosufficient to expose the falsehood of thoargument that the manufactured arti-cles consumed by the American farmerare cheaper here than in England

But a short and conclusive tcsfc ofthe point at issue is to compare the En-

glish prices and American prices of alist of leading manufactures includingwoolens clothing hats and caps cot-
