WHO GAISS BT PROT15CTIOSI LABOR OET3 XUE OF THE 8P0ILS TOR VANCE ON THE WAY THE TARII'F WORKS AQAIN3T L D0R. -SENA- HIOHj' Senator Vance in Baltimore Sua. j NUMBER VII. To acknowledge that high tariflja are maintained for the sole benefit 0f manufacturers would be fatal to their existence at once. Their advocates are too Emart for that. They not only do not admit that such is the fact, but in the argument for protection they ignore and keep out of sight as much as possible their own interest in tariff taxes. They say it is all for labor. They can't endure, they say, that our laboring people should have : only the wages re ceived by "European paupers," and be compelled to live "as they do; therefore, they say, we must make our goods; high-priced by taxa ion." When reminded that the increased price is not paid to the workman, but to tho manufacturer, they answer. "Very true, but it enables us to pay our workmen nigher wages than are paid to European laborers." To this I reply: "And that is very true also; it does enable you to pay higher wages, but you don't do it." Men do not pay higher for the same thing than any other people simply because they have more money. Rich and poor alike pay just th9 market price no more aiid no less except where the rich secure a reduction by means of ready and abundant cap ital. Otherwise than by those com binations which weal'h affords, there is not an article of human want sold in America for which the rich man is charged less or more than the poor man. I refer, of course, to articles of the same quality. Labor, human intelligence and muscle, beirg a com modity offered for sale, is subject to the same economic laws which gov ern the sale of. other commodities. If there is no legislative interference, these lawd will operate fairly and justly upon all; but the artificial in crease of the prices of products is not and cannot well be applied to the la bor which is expended on the' pro ducts. Therefore labor is placed un der a disadvantage by tariffs. The manufactu-crs' interests are pro tected by excluding competition; the workman s interest is unprotected and is left open to the competition of ail the world, and all the world is most cordially invited to come by bounties oi our public lands aud im mediate citizenship to compete with our workinermen. The advantages are ail on the side of the manufac turer. Ilia prices are secured by law; , the laborers' wages are dependent on the free gii: of the manufactures, who admits he is "enabled" to make them higher. In fact, how does he procure his labor ? By making a cl- culauori of how much his profits have been increased by the tariff and in creasing ,wagis in proportion? Not a bit of it. Such justice would indi cate the near approach of the mulen mum. lie goes into the labor mar ket an unprotected free trade mar- ket and buys it at the lowest market price If the American article is too high for him, he steps over into Canada and buys "pauper labor;" if the price is too high there, as it sometimes is, he sends his agent to Europe and buys and Bhips over "pauper" labor until he is supplieu. He floods our market with "cheap pauper i labor," to tho great injury of our own indus trious workers, and then when he has procured his supplies at rates fixed by the eager, half starved competi tion Of struggling men all the world over, he rends the air with howls of distressful rage against the coming in of a foreign blanket, a wool hat, a bushel of salt, a school book or a slate pencil because it will injure the "American" working man! A pauper made coat or a pair of shoes will ruin him forever, but the pauper himself, who supplants him, and takes his own and his children's bread, is the high est economic blessing and the very gift of Heaven to the American la borer ! Since the world was maae or ever the hills were brought forth was ever such absurd and lying logic spread out for the acceptance of human san ity? lid ever cat before; catch rats with so thm a disguise of meal" ver ily, instead of the false cry of protec tion to American labcr they should have emblazoned on the r banaers the words "Protection to the minu faciurers' capital; free trade in flesh and blocdl" Of course wages are higher here than in Europe; perhaps higher than anywhere else in the world. But the man who asserts toat the tariff has mada them to is lacking; in either intelligence or honestrT Labor is higher in the United iptates be cause it is more j.rodtlbjtive thau it is anywhere else, and is therefore woruh more to its employer. The i statistics abundantly prove this. M WAR SOUK ol cominon intelligence no longer eaWupartj the cost of labor in a pro dact by the price per day paid to the operatives only, but look at the re sults of the day's work of each work man. The excess of the finished ar ticle which the American laborer can torn out over his foreign rival shows conclusively that his labor is the cheapest to his employer in the world. This will be illustrated by the follow ing table found in Mr. Schoenhof's ''Study in Social Physiology," aud which hag been approved by econo my's in Germany, England and the Utiiifid States. The productive capacity of one op erative, taking 100 as the unit, is as f 1IOmb: : 1 Cotton, pounds. Wool, pounds. Silk, pounds. V. Htates, I 159 100 100 Ur. Brit,, 67 77 I 81, Urraany, to, 00 t The illustration of the relative ca pacity of American and European la bor in various other branches of in dustry could bo multiplied indefi nitely. This is due to his superior energy, kill and machinery. In fact, the priiu of labor everywhere beautifully Illustrates a great law of political oiioiny, which fixes tbe prico of all K things on the basis of their value. A rerul comparison will show that bor is paid in all tbe civilized world according to its etlectiveness, the highest being the most profitable, and the lowest the least profitable. 'ThisVuns throughout all European countries in all employments, except, possibly, - a ' few special handicrafts which are affected by an element of art, and is especially visible in what is falselyValled the cheap labor of Asia. Nq, labor was higher here than in Europe before we had a tariff, and whilst Europe was highly pro tected it was higher when our first tariff of 8 per cent was in force; it has continued so ever since without the least regard to the state of the tariff. A fW months after the act of 1883 had increased the dutv on crock ery 2iTcMrt, the potters of New Jersey re'fJucet the wageB of their operatives about the same figure. One strong reaeou given by the legis lators who enaolcd our first tariff laws was that these duties were nec essary to iour manufactures because labor was higher m this country than in Europe. Not one of them jeop ard zed his reputation for can dor and; common sense by the assertion i that they were needed to raise j wages above the old world leyl. It is also a rnost impor tant fact, ja which all good men re joice, that tor more than a century igea or ilabor have been contin ually increasing, whilst, owing to the help of science, the price of the pro ducts Of labor ha3 been as steadily diminishing- The testimony taken by the royal commission which recently investigated the causes of the depres sion of trade establishes this bevond dispute. Wages in the United States have largely partaken of this increase and Inherited by the decreased cost of produces. T Our manufacturers, therefore, pay higher wages than those of other countries,; not because they prefer to do bo or try to do bo, but simply be cause they can't help themselves; not from philanthropy, but irom neces sity. Their utmost efforts are ex erted, on the contrary, as I have al r$tdy shown, to reduce, not to in crease, wages, and it is absolutely aSJarue to claim that protection is the cause or the intention of this high re ward of labor. It is quite true, as protectionists assert, that manufac tures tend to increase wages by di versifying industries and thus increas ing the demand" for labor. But to erive high tariffs the credit for this is to assumethai- manufcjures cannot exist-without protection; whereas we know that England and Be! e one a free trade and the other a very low tariff country are, in proportion to population, the great est manufacturing nations on the earth. In no possible way can it be established that labor is benefited by protective tariffs. But even if it did inure directly to the advantage of the operatives, if it stopped with the factory man it would be an outrage that ought not to be tolerated for a moment. That it does stop there cannot be honestly doubt ed. Premising, as set out in a pre vious article, that it is wrong as well as impolitic to tax one man to sup port another, let us see how protec tion operates not on the whole body of consumers at large, but on the workingmen themselves on Ameri can labor. In round numbers the total of all persons engaged in labor in the United States is 17,000,000 For the purpose of considering the effects of tariff taxation upon their callings, these may be divided into two classes the protected and the non-protecied the protected class being those engaged in the produc tion of articles which are taxed by tariff duties, whilst the other class is engaged in labor of such a character as cannot be benefited or aided in any way byift-tax on its foreign competi tion. The whole number of those engaged in the protected industries is about 2,500,000, leaving the remain der, about 14,500,000 workers, in the unprotected industries, a little more than six to one. Now for the effec of protective tariffs on these labours : Suppose it placed on woolen eoods an average of 67 peg dent, it excludes foreign wool ens and enables the home manu facturer to place at least 50 per cen increase on the price of his goods and, according to the protection the ory, 50 per cent increase on wages also. Very well; the people who work in the woolen factories all over the country, numbering some 250,- 000, get a large mere so of wages and thrive bb much as piv , nists say. Now who pays for it ? c loubtedly the remaining 16,800,000 laborers; every other man in the United StateB who works and wears woolen goods; all are taxed to give prosperity to the man in the woolen factory. The butcher, the baker, the wheelwright, the carpenter, jq-aer, the mason, the blacksmith, the prumber, (thank God for that 1) the wagoner,' the farmer, the plow-boy, ditcher, cattleherder, tanner, railroad hand, policeman, the porter, printer, cobbler, washerwo man, house servant in short, every man, woman and child who earns bread by the sweat of the brow in the course of human toil has to scant his pay and shorten bis comforts to incresssj" of those the wool worker, who is no better or more deserving than himself ! j The sirae thing precisely is appli cable to those who manufacture every other article in the protected cata logue, numbering about 4,000. The six toilers are made to support the seventh. The six who are made to pay taxes to increase the living of the seventh are not heard of. in our legis lation and are not deserving of our care, but the seventh one is an "American laborer," whose welfare engages all the powtrs of statesman ship, and who must be made comfort- ble if it takes half the wages of all other common workers who labor in the open air. Iu addition to all this, it m uat be remembered that if you ra so the price of labor by increasing the price of its products, the purchas ing power of the laborer's money is not increased, and he is just where he taried. If a workman at a dollar a day can buy with on" day's work a pair of 8'ioe?, and ycu increase the pric of shoes by a tariff, in ordar t") pa? the workman SL50 per day, the man who te'ls the workman! that he s better off bv half a dollar per dav is either a fool himself or believes the workman to be. But thev constantly eli us that everything in America is as cheap as it is in Europe. If this be true and it is not then it is proof positive a reason Can furnish that labor is not high because prices are high, but because it is effective. Yet their argument is absolutely de pendent on the theory that protection increases the price of home products and "enables manufacturers to pay higher wages! It is everywhere and at all times the staple of every appeal to the American people, and it is a ie, because it is simply impossible it can cheapen goods, increase the cost of production and raise wages at the samn time. Labor is simply the de coy with which the manufacturer batts his protection trap. Thanks to the gallibil ty of mankind, they can buy iheir bait free. Z. B. Vance.
