THE 'PERORATION
Of Representative Mills Great Speech
AS PUBLISHED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL
" i RECORD.
Noiyj another thiiijur. I want to show
that thi? tariff is not! ftr tlw benefit of
the vviorkinjjm m. 1 We will have
many Hppe ils 111 ide to us for sympathy
on Hc)nnt of thtj worldngm.tn. 1
have titken from the first J annual re
port ofjthe Commissioner of L ibor and
the repHrt of the e;insm on w.1-3 so.iu
fignreafiven"iy manufacturers of the
tot.il cost of the proiuet and the labor
cost ofjthe articles they are m iking.
I have put the tar ff duty bv the sioV
of them to show whether in the little
reluetipiii we are stsking in thi-- bill we
have goW beyond that pledge we as u
party Have made that we should .lot
reduce the taxation so low as to iujure
our laborers, or as not to cover t lie
differer
ice in cost of labor between
Araeriqan and foreign
P
uoilucts.
This
wHl show, and 1 nk 3'our
at
tention to it. that the tariff is not in
tended to and- does not benefit labor.
It will jshow that the benefit of the
tariff never p isses beyond the pocket
of the manufacturer, and to the pock
et or hit workman. .
I tiii(i in this repor 0 . !'
pound-blankets. .The whole cost
tated iby the iihinufacturer is 2 31.
The labor cost he paid for them is 8;"
c;nts. s ine present tarill is al.viJ.
Now, here is 1.35 in this tarill over
and above the entire labor cost of these
blankets. Why did not that manufacture)-
go and give that monev to the
laborer? He is able to do it. Here is.
a tariff j that gives him $1.90 on that
pair of blankets for the benefit of his
laborer! but notwithstanding that the'
tariff yas imposed fyr the benefit of
American labor and to preserve high
wages, hvery dollar q that tariff went
into the manufacturer's pocket. The
poorj fellow who made the blanket got
35 cents and the manufacture-rk.'pt the
$1.00.
Mr. jCrain. Will tbe gentleman
please state how much the committee
has reituced that duty?
' Mr. Mills. To $1.00 from S1.90.
Take! another pair of 5-pound blan
kets, JThe total cost is $2.70. The
labor cost is 70 cents. The tariff is
S1.984 I Now, how strange it is that
none of these sums that were inte .1
for the laborer ever got beyond
pocket jot the manufacturer. Why is
it. when the American Congress enact
ed this legislation for the benefit of
our labbrthat every tiollar of this aid
intended for labor stops in the pockets
of the manufacturer, who goes into
the hi;i ways and aedges and hires his
laborerlat the lowest pricB for whicn
he can get him in the market and then
I pockets'; the tariff benefits that we are
told every diy ls iutended for the la-
borer.atone for the benefit of labor?
Here jis another pair of 5-po a nd blan
kets. The cost is 3 39. The labor
cost paid by th s manufacturer, he savs
himself! is OLcentf. The tariff is 2.-
55."In the pending bill we have left him
all 81. 3o. and we have left the other
man 1.08. And we lwve left along
not onlj enough to co ;er the difference
l)etweett the labor cost of production in
Europe Und the labor cost of produc
tion in! this country, but we have
enough lief t to pay for all the labor and
a bonus -besides. " i " '
Let ti go on a little further. Here
is one yjird of flannel, weighing four
ounces; it cost 18 cents, of which the
laborer got 3 cents; the tariff on iti
8 cents;!. How is it that the' whole 8
cents'did not get into the- pockets of
the laborer?- Is it inot strange 7that
those who made the tariff and faaten-
ed utwiiilthfli neorp f.rw wnr r;if. in
a time oE tr.f. aid pine?, and who are
now constantly aisaihW th Djnr-
sailing
cratic part v because it is 11 n true to the
workingman. did not mike some pro-1
t l 'j. ' r . 1
vision by which- the 'generous' bountv
thejgnve should reach the pockst 6
hini for whom they satl it was" intendr
ed? They charge that we nre: trying
to strike down the labor of the country.
Why do they not ste that : the money
they are taking out of the bard earn
ings of the people i delivered in good
faith to the workman? : ' 5 : t
One yard o casimere weighing 16
ounces costs S1.3S; the, labor cost is 23
cents; the tariff duty is SO cent. One
pou nd of sewing sil k cost $5.60 ; the crst
for labor i S5"cents: the tariff is $1.69.
One trallnn of linseed oil costs 48 cents:
I the labor cost is 2 cents; the tariff cost
' - Ck'T X v f ' i J I ? . J A.
is no cenis. une ion 01 uar iron costs
$31; the labor cost is S10; the tariff
fixes several rates for bar iron. 1
give the lowest rate, 18.92. One-ton
Hof foundry pig iron costs 11; the la-
bor jeosts S1.64; the tariff is 0.72.
None of these tariff' rates go to the
laborer. The road i blocked "up..
They can not p:iss the pdeket of the
man uf act urer. The "great A merican
system" that is intended to secure high
wages for ouf laborers -is so erverted
that all its beneficience intended for the
Eoor workman stops in the pocket of
i employer, and the laborer only gets
what he can command in the open
ra irket for his work.
Let us take Bessemer steel rails. We
are told that the steel rail industry is
in great-danger of utterly perishing
away and departing from this conti
nent, because we propose to reduce the
duty from 17 to 1U
fhe whole cost; is put down at 31,
the labor cost at 7.57; the tariff is 17.
The manufacturer has 9.43 more for
each ton jthan all the labor cost. The
labor cost of this ton is exceptionally
high. I have a statement of the labor
cost of a ton of teel rails at Bethle'
hem, Pa., taken recently by Mr.
Schoenof, and it shows labor cost there
$3.85 per ton. The labor cost of a ton
of sti'el rails in England is not one
dollar cheaper than here. . Sir. Schoe
nof informs me that a ton of bar iron
costs, for labor, ;n England about 7.75,
and here about 8. But let us leave
these and proceed with the official fig
ures. A keg of steel nails costs $2 34;
the labor cost is XJ7 cents, the tariff is
1 25. A toh of pipe iron costs $31.-
labor cost 12.215, the tariff is
22 40. !
Here is a car wheel 'weigh ing 5'30
pounds; cost $13; labor cost 85 cents;
tariff rate is "2.12 cnts p?r ound.
equivilant to $12.50, tocover a labor cost
ofLS") ceats! Laughter. Wby, ,Mr.
Chairn.an, these'laborei's of ours ought
to get immensely rich if they could get
all that Congress vote-j to them, if the
manufacturers did not stop the boun
ties intended by the Government to
reach thf packets of the workingman.
Her3 is a coarse ; woi.il suit of clothes
such ns our working, p?ople weir in
their daily toil in the shop and I hid;
The whole cost is 12, The-labor cod
is 82. The tariff duly is 1) coat per
pound and 35 p?r cent, ad valorem.
s the weight, ot the suit is not given,
we can not lci tne exact tarur, om
the duty on woolen clothes imported
ast vear averaged 4 percent., and
at that rate the tariff stands 6.S4 to
cover 2 of labor cost.
A cotton suit costs 10.50; the labor
cost is $1.85; the tariff is' $3.07. A
dozen goblets cost 4S cents: labor cost.
15 cents: tariff 19 cents. White read.
by the hundred weight, $9.50; labor
cost, 50 cents: tariff, $3. A hundred
weight of mixed paints, $S; labor cost
41 cents; tariff $2.!
Now, Mr. Chairman, I have gonr
through with a number of articles
taken from these oHicifil reports made
by the manufacturers themselves,-and 1
have shown that the tariff was not
framed for the benefit of -the laborer
rr that if it was o intended by those
who framed it, the benefit never "reach
es the laborer, not a dollar of it. The
working people are hired -in the mar
ket at the lowest rates; at which their
services can be. had, and all the boiodSe"
that has been granted by these tariff
bills goes into the pockets of the man
ufacturers. It builds up palaces; it
concentrates wealth; it makes great
and powerful magnates; btjj it dis
tributes none of its beneficierice in the
homes of our laboring poor.
It brings the ta gatherer to them;
it weighs them -down as it goe: it
compels them to jjay out a large share
of their daily earnings for the necessa
ries of life; and the money it raises by
high prices on domestic manufactures
it transfers not into the coffers of the
government, but into the coffers o
private individuals. U is making- a
wide distinction in this country be
tween two classes one numerous, but
poor; one small but powerful and rich.
It is a poiicv that is it war with the
institutions of tills country. The con
centration of the wealth of the coun
try in the hands of a few will in pro
gress of time overthrow the very foun
dations of our free government.
Niw, gentlemen the time has come,
after all these taxes on wealth have
been swept away, and the .people of
this country have been bearing for
years these " enormous burdens that
have been levied on th necessaries of
life; now, when "trusts," and combi

; jfow for a Big Corn Crop.
Pracical farmers may well laugh at
those "ho talk about corn lxing defi
cient in protein and phosphates. It is
the gi-jmaesi 1 crop ui me wona. al
well-filled corn-crib makes the farmer
and his hories. cows, sheep, pigs, and
chiekeis happy. Throughout a large
area of! the United Stated corn is grown
for home use and not for sale. John
Johnstfm, the father of American tile
draining, and one of the best ami most
successful farmers of hi3 time, said to
us : ' have never -sold com but once

out, stalks and all. to sheep aud other
stoek, supplemented with oil-cake if it
could He purchased cheap enough. He
wa3 it ifirm believer in oil-cake, but
would niavelauglied at any one who
claimed it was worth more, pound for
pound,than good sound corn.
In njauy sections last year the corn
crop suffered; from drouth. This is un
usual. I On good land, kept clean by
the frequent use of the cultivator, com
will staWt drouth better than any" oth
er crop! Said, an experienced farmer :

corn if not a drop of rain fell from the

must Ik; maturel safnclently to leave
the fish free and easily, with but very

The Banbury " Reporter and Post'
hits the farmers a pretty good lick in
following style : !
Those who have a vacant lot or a
little patch as big as a pig peii in the
cities and towns of the tobacco section,
should plant it in something to eat or
feed our cows and mules audi ifyou
have more than is required for home
consumption, we farmers will buy the
surplus, when we come to town to sell
our tobacco, provided we get anything
for it, or have anything with which to
pay. Remember, we farmers will be
so busy with our tobacco crops that we !
will not have much time to maike any
tiling to cat, and next spring jwijl be
compelled to have both bread and meat.
We have a pretty fair crop of wheat,
which looks welt; but if we can lose
the time out of our tobacco to save it,
we will have it used up by the) first of
March. Plant yoar little patches in
corn or potatoes or anything tliat may
be eaten. You must not let its suffer
for something to sustain life ; We will
haul it home, though you. charge U3 a
dollar a bushel for corn, which will cost
from 25 to 50 cents to handle. We
must cat, and if we have not t hcj money
will give you a mortgage. Wtfivill be
so busy with tobacco that we will not
have time to make corn lor our pig,
and if it should not to a good mast year
we expect half of thorn will die. By
the by, what are cabbage, potatoes and
onions worth in town ? Most of us
have an appetite for them at this sea
son, for you know a fellow is weak
anyway in the Spring. !
