KIR ISSUE AND THli PRO- Views ot a rmer Showing that a J odi- cioas Prolectivc Tariff is Absolutely Necessary to Agricultural Prosperity. To the Editor ofthe Observer. The tariff happens to be the Dre- dominating national question at the present time, and is likely to enter into the coming political campaign as the dominant issue. We desire to discuss it, not from a partisan stand point, but as an economic question, and frem the standpoint of a farmer in its relations to agriculture. We deem an effective, and iust tariff to have a four-fold purpose, 1st, lo attord a government rev enue. 2nd, To encourage the establish ment of, and to foster, mechanical and mining industries. 5rd, lo enable the labor of the country to earn such wages as will give it the opportunities it must possess to become intelligent and worthy citizens 01 tne republic. 4th, To prevent competing foreign natioas from forcing our people to the production of the raw products to the exclusion of finished products. There are but two methods of rais ing a revenue ror carrying on our Government. By taxation direct, and by levying import duties upon the exportation ot goods by loreign countries to this country. We pursue both methods, but the taxation by the direct method is levied only on whiskey and tobacco. Since the foun dation "of the Government, except during intervals of a few years, it has been the policy of our Govern ment to levy a tariff upon the foreign importations, for the protection of our manufacturing, mining and mechanical industries, and for the protection of labor. Therefore so long as our Government pursues the policy of raising a revenue by means of a tariff on foreign importations, absolute free trade is out of the ques tion, and, in fact, it finds but few ad vocates among our citizens. The obiect or the protective part or the tariff has been, and should be, to aid in the establishment of the manu facturing, mining and mechanical in dustries and thereby create ana sus tain a diversity of employments among our people, and at the same time enable the laoor or tne country to receive a just and adequate re muneration for that labor, a condition of things absolutely essential to the growth and prosperity of the country. In these objects is embraced the far mer s greatest interest in such a tariff:, I nnH it is nur nnrnnsft to Rhow in what I way. Instead 01 being a burden upon his shoulders it is, has been ana will continue to be a blessing to him, and therefore to the whole country, for the agricultural prosperity of the country, is the assurance of a general prosperity. Land in its primitive state is value less. All of the capabilities for the service of man are nothing as it lies uninhabited or unused. A continent in this condition has no more worth than the bottom of the sea, and its original powers at any stage of its cultivation never affects its market value. Its condition and situation at the time of purchase or exchange is alone taken into consideration. Land, therefore, derives all its value from the labor bestowed on its improve ment, and that value is measured ac curately by the quality and amount of the industries which are employed upon it and surround it. A part only or its present value is due to labor expended directly upon it. It has been cleared and fenced ; it has be m plowed and manured, and it has been furnished with houses, barns and other necessary buildings. Roads have been constructed, bridges built, railroads made, school houses and churches erected, and outside of all this, roads, ships and telegraphs have effected communication with the whole world. All these every item of all the labor employed upon all these has been concerned in adding value to our lands. Therefore to bring land to its highest productive capacity, or to maintain its original capacity, all of these aids must be called into requisition we must sur round our lands with all these valu able adjuncts and mechanical indus tries. No purely agricultural people can have anything deserving to be called agriculture. They must be, from the nature of things, engaged in robbing the soil of its fertility. They have no home markets, and can produce nothing but the crude pro ducts to be shipped to distant mark ets, and pay the cost of the transpor tation there. Hence they cannot maintain the fertility of their lands by resuming to them a fair portion of their products after they have served human uses. It is. therefore only wnere- numan pursuits are di versified .we see agriculture a steadily improving system. Two farmers can net more exchange with each other than two . goldrdiggers can neither has anything the ether wants but they can trade with those of , other occupations, ana tneir rjesc ana pay ing products -are always in demand by a neighboring factory, or college, or city or town full 01 people, engag ed in pursuits- wholely unlike their own. . These reflected aids to the far mer's best interests, are seen in the value of lands as they are situated with reference to them lands near est to them commanding the highest market value, tad decreasing in value as the distance from them is increas ed. This istrue of ,. neighborhoods,1 is true of divisions of an entire country. ,- Mr J.. B., Podge, atatistic; ian nt the IL. 8.

The second class, including fifteen States and Territories, has an agricultural popu lation of 42 per cent., and here we find a production per man of $394 per annum, with an average value of lands of $30.56 pgr acre. The third class, embracing thirteen States, has an agricultural population of 58 per cent., producing annually per capita $261 worth of farm products, with an average value per acre of $13.53, and the fourth class, consisting of six States, having an agricultural pop ulation of 77 per cent., produces only $160 worth of farm products annual ly, the land averaging only $5.18 per acre. This last class comprises North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, and this excess ol an agricultural population is the primary cause of the decline in production of farm products per capita, within the past forty years in these States, as a com parison of the productions shown by the census report of 1840 and 1850, with the last report clearly demon strates, with the exception, perhaps, of Arkansas. And the statistics entire demon strate that "values in agriculture are enhanced by increase of non-agricultural population. "It is not assum ed," says Mr. Dodge, "that there are no other causes affecting the quantity and value of the farmer's crops which cause variations in the exhibit of individual States, but the relative proportions of agricultural and non agricultural population constitute a factor, so that when such data are co-ordinate in classes of States, the result appears with the invariability of law." And this relation between agriculture on the one part, and manufacturing, mining and mechan ical arts on the other, governing ev ery degree of their respective devel opment, of their inter-linked prosper ity, and of their inseparable fate in decrease and decayj we must recog nize as an universal law. Twenty three hundred years ago Xenophon announced to his countrymen that the neglect of the proper development of the mineral treasures, with which the soil abounded, had ruined the domestic market for food, and con sequently agriculture had become impossible. Adam Smith, the father of political economy, said "the greatest and most important branch of the com merce of every nation, is that carried on between the inhabitants of the town and those of the country," and he adds, emphatically, "whatever tends to diminish in any country the number of artificers and manufactur ers, tends to diminish the home mar ket, tlie most important of all mar kets, for the rude produce of the land and thereby still further to discourage agriculture." Hence it is obvious that (in its truest sense) successful agriculture can be reached only by the reduction of the agricultural pop ulation to a minority, or in other words, by the creation of diversified employments so augment the non agricultural population that the farm ers shall find a home market for their products. But, will not, it may be asked, the needs of society and the natural tendency of our growth and development, bring about this result without the enactment of protective tariff laws? The life of a nation, like the life of an individual, is a continued strug gle for existence. Hence a nation possesses the inherent right to utilize its capabilities, natural or acquired, to maintain and promote its existence. And as diversified industries are es sential to our national prosperity to the full development of agricul ture" the basis of all prosperity it is clearly the duty of the law-making powers to enact such laws as will best promote this unity and mutuality of interest between agriculture ana tne other industries. If all the civilized nations of the world were on an equal footing with regard to natural advantages, accumulated capital, en terprise of their citizens, &c, it might be necessary to tax the com modities, of the exporting nations for the purpose of establishing and fos tering manufacturing, mining and mechanical industries of any nation. But owing to the irregularities exist ing, with respect to these things, among the civilized nations, the weaker must protect itself against the stronger by the power of the law, in its struggle for existence and growth. Our industries, and therefore our general prosperity, have been in the past ana are stiu assauea Dy Eng land, whose Greatness and growth of centuries has been achieved, not by free trade, but in the language of one of her own writers : "Prohibition of the export of the raw materials; bounties upon production and expor tation ; restraints upon colonial man ufactures ; differential duties in favor of her own commerce ; sumptuary laws encouraging such kinds of pro duction as seemed to need help in that form; active and substantial aid to the immigration of artisans from the continent ; prohibition of the em igration of her own skilled workmen, and of the export of machinery, wars undertaken with the sole object of ODening ud and monopolizing foreign markets, and everv othei species of regulations and interferences which promised in anv way to make her the workshop of the world The position she now holds is due to this policy. She protected her in dustries until she had perfected them. She achieved success by dint of care ful and nudicious management and Dursuing this course uninterruptedly for five hundred years, she reached the point where she no longer dread ed competition, and she advocaten free trade when, "and only when, it was her interest to do so. But this greatness has been accomplished at the expense of pauperizing milliotis of her people. Cheap: labor and cheap raw products she has demand ed to reach the position she; tbqw holds, but a day ot reckoning is in the near future, the coming ot which isnow,heard in. the discontent and restlessness of her toiune masses The social policy . she has pursued cannot be the true policy when her leading statesmen advocate the mi gration, of her people to other lands as a remedy for the ills of life under which they labor." ' It has been time and again dm- onstrated in the clearest 'and "most philosophical manner, and the sta tistics of Tthft last" fpnsiis n.q furnished 'by MrVDbdge-MMfifef 6rprJ report for me year just closed, and' heretorore quoted, again confirms i it, thalrthe one ftfid Njnly-i Wad nr tivilizAtfon, TwgalthJaSid: ower lies thrhnfe'h thB f fvr pursuits of the? retention is the a&ds1 that great PODk-W; -ground iCanjthey: -stand .Jwh$ deay-th moral right, jus- .t..-a s h. rial ha tu i&ii "; -!" . tice and duty of our people to protect themselves from the selfish policy of Jmgiand and adopt that policy best calculated to lead our people into that road? During our colonial days our coun try was doomed by British statutory laws to the servitude of furnishing the mother country with the crude products of the soil, who arrogated to herself the exclusive right to fur nish her colonies with manufactured products, prohibiting to them almost every rorm ot manufacture. Inde pendence, our forefathers knew, was emancipation from this servitude. They knew that to advance in civili zation the country must not be ex clusively agricultural ; that no purely agricultural people could reach a high degree of civilization and that by adding to agriculture the me ofhanical aids our country would at tain a high development, and the front rank of civilized and self -sun- porting nations. The emancipation from this servitude was the leading object of the war, and our early Con gressional legislation was inspired with these ideas. The war of 1812. and the embargo laid by England called into existence many work-shops and small factories. but at the close of this war there being no effective tariff in existence for the protection of the capital em barked in these enterprises, or of the laborers they employed, England saw her opportunity of reducing our people to a commercial dependence. and Lord Brougham in a speech de livered in the House of Commons, soon after the treaty of peace was signed, pointed out the way by ap pealing to the manufacturers of Eng land to suppress our manufacturers called into existence by the war. He said: "It is well worth while to in cur a loss upon the first exportations in order by the glut to stifle in the cradle those manufactures in the United States the war has called into existence." The appeal was not made in vain, and a period of depression and suffering began for our "people, such as they had never experienced. This continued until the tariff act of 1816 brought relief, which in a short time produced an effect upon our condition almost magical. Since then England has never ceased her efforts to destroy the mechanical industries of the country, that she may make us her commercial dependent as she has done Ireland, India, Turkey and Portugal, to their social injury de struction we can almost say. And she still clings to the delusion that she will yet, in the near future, pre vail upon this country to adopt her free trade principles, a policy which does not aim to protect labor, but to f protect capital as distinguished from abor, a policy that distributes wealth to the few at the expense of the many, the adoption of which by this country would destroy our in creasing diversified pursuits, essen tial, as we have clearly shown, to the building up of a system of agricul ture permanent and ever widening in its beneficial effects. At a meeting of the National Miners' Conference, held in Manchester. England, in January 1881, Mr. MacDonald, a member of the British Parliament, said, to en courage the miners, that "if America would remove the tariff of 29s. 4d. , on our iron we should be able to close every iron works cast of Pittsburg, within three months." This was no idle threat, but would be fully real ized were the tariff removed, and the purpose of the establishment in New York City of a branch of the cele brated Cobden Club, (Free Trade,) of Manchester, England, is to further the efforts of the moiher club by ar raying the agricultural against the industrial classes, by poisoning their minds as to the effect of the Ameri can system of protection upon their calling. About forty years ago England reached the discovery that free trade is the right of every man to do as he pleases with his capital and abilities, and that there is free trade when there is no interference with the nat ural course of buying and selling, if such interference be intended to im prove, cr otherwise influence trade. This expresses, she claims, the most important and fundamental truth in political economy. A falacious as sumption, disproved by the fact that no civilized nation has ever adopted it, and only those pursuing a contrary policy have risen to eminence among the nations of the earth. She herself achieved her position among the sister nations by the most arbitrary of protective policies, pursued for centuries. Just as well assume that the greatest personal liberty consists in uncontrolled human action al lowing every man to do as it pleases him to do. There are restrictions on human action for the good of society, and the growth and prosperity of ciety demands that there shall be restrictions on trade. The establish ment of bureaus, by various States, for gathering labor statistics, is actu al proof that restrictions on trade are necessary. Looking at the social results as demonstrated iu England by the adoption of this "important and fun damental truth in political economy," having at one end, as stated by one of the prominent statesmen, a grand and magnificent aristocracy and on the other. a double-headed pauperism, we can never desire the adoption, by our country, of a like policy. Our masses must be intelligent and free if we.wduld preserve our republican in stitutions intact, and this would be impossible if we bring our labor to the social condition it is found in England, by opening our ports to the unrestricted trade of the world. A protective system gives the labor of the country better wages than it receives under a free trade system, and to this fact much of our national errowth is indebted. For free trade reduces the wages of labor to the foreign standard and thus reduces the ability to consume, which in its turn would inflict on our internal com- Lmerce and general industry a heavy jobs; Our growtn as a country i, "therefore, largely due to the increas ed purchasing power of our laborer oVersthe-foreigiK ReIfres better, is better housed, better clothed and W.ter fad. What matters it, if he hnv a suit of clothes for less imohejjf in England'than he can here? Reduce his wages to the minimum, as in England,' and you place it out of his power to buy any but the very cheapest, as his low wages reduces him to the necessity of wearing only the commonest clothes. A aisiin guished American statesman, who spent some months last year in Eu rnnA studying this labor question, sava: "I had often heard and read that human labor was cheap in Eu hut the word "cheap' does not "convey a correct idea of the real state pf things, At lEjrmingham (England) ' aridlt its environs' ' Jtjere are . three " principal industries" in which women sra larselv employed that ift to say. chair making, brick makings land the I ealvanizing. ox irdBUtwThii last trade 18 One - WUicu tuum iiro wtuiu vu. the workmen more than any other trade I know of, and yet it is the one that they for the mcfet part pre fer, because they can earn a shilling a week pore at it than they can at brick-making, whichis better jpaidthan chiar-making. The wages of the gal vanizing iron workers is seven shill- J ings that is about $1.75 a week. At Manchester I learned that thir teen shillings a week about $3.25 as the very highest wages any mill operative could earn. Labor is gen erally underpaid in England, and this fact is the real cause of the wide spread discontent which I met ever where among the working classes." That agricultural labor participates in the advantages Of the protection afforded our industries is conclusive ly shown in the statistics as prepared by Mr. Dodge of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, before re ferred to. He says: "fn 1870 when wages and prices generally were high, the average wages of farm labor in the first class of States was $34, while in the last, exclusively agricultural class, it was but $15. : v"hen the pan ic came, and years of maoufacturing depression followed, mechanics and artisans competed with farm laborers and reduced the price of rural labor. It is a fact that prices at different times furnish an accurate measure both of the industrial status pf the laborers, and the prosperity of the great industries of the country.'' : In 1882 the wages of the agricultu ral laborer averaged nearly $25 in the first, and second class; $19.50 in the third, and $13.20 in the fourth. Where more than half of the work ers are farmers, the competition of laborers reduces inevitably the rate of wages. So we find that when the proportion reaches three-fourths, the reduction usually amounts to 50 per cent. The influence of manufactur ers, of mining, of any productive in dustries on local prices, whether of farm, or products, or farm labor, is plainly traceable in States, and in various districts within the States, by the furnace fires, the mines, the factories that thickly dot the location where high prices for farm labor pre vailed." Why not then continue the policy of the past of encouraging di versified pursuits of our people, when such statistical facts, history , and the condition of the farm laborer, as well as the laborer of other industries. in free trade England, warn us of the results of a contrary system?. Great stress is laid as an argument against our American Protective Tariff system by a certain class of writers, upon the tact that the gen eral depression now existing in the business affairs of the country, affect ing nearly all classes, is due to our tariff system. In our opinion the primary cause of this depression is directly traceable to the condition of our agriculture, brought about by circumstances we call Providential. Our agricultural constitutes about 5q per cent, of our entire population, and for the past three years their crop yield has been affected by un favorable seasons. Hence the pur chasing power of this large per cent age of our population has becomeim paired, and as a legitimate conse quence the general industries of the country have languished, and all classes, excepting perhaps the money lender, have felt its effects, and es pecially the mechanical laboring classes. This is a simple and rational explanation of the business stagna tion our general industries have been passing through for the past eighteen months. A prosperous ag riculture gives general prosperity. The tariff Question has its founda tion in the relation agriculture occu pies to the other industries. The universal law of the unity and mu tuality or interest ot this leading in dustry with the other industries, can have a lull development only when the strong arm of the law surrounds the establishment and foster ing of these essential help meets to its real prosperity, while there yet any civilized power capable, with its accumulated capital and pauperized labor, of destroying, or in any way impairing- these industries. And above all things we should not be come entangled in the mazes of prices, and lose sight of the fact that, after all, they are but modes of com parison, and that no sound conclu sion can be drawn from them except by an examination and comparison of the prices of all things.- Take the world over and it will be found that where prices, as a general thing, are lowest the people are poorest and least enlightened. it may sound well to say that a suitof clothes can be bought in En gland for $15, while the same would cost here $25 ; but if the working man in this country can afford to pay $25, and have a surplus because of his better wages, he is better off than the Englishman, who, having only $10, cannot buy the suit at all with out incurring a dept. . In conclusion, we Ttre ho apologist for the wrong : applicatipn of these principles in the fornlation of our tariff acts. There can be, as things are now constituted, no unmixed good, and so long as men will wor ship the almighty dollar above all things, so long will money have its influence to accomplish those things for the especial benefit of its owner against the general good. These wrongs, if they exist i in our tariff laws, in no way affect tie value of the principles involved in pur Ameri can system. C. McDonald. Horrors of Mineral Poison.
