Show protection DOES PROTECT the democrats deny that they are in ia fact free traders but they claim that a low tariff on imported goods tends to unrestricted trade and that unrestricted trade will secure bolter better results more national wealth than the protection of homo home industries by a high tariff tariff reviews dispute thia this proposition one able writer disproves the assertion of the democratic for revenue only theorist that under protection one thousand bushels of wheat will purchase but fifteen tons of iron when without protection or were there no duty one thousand thou fand bushels of wheat would purchase twenty five tons of iron and that we lose by protection ten en tons of iron or the value thereof un every thousand bushela bushels of wheat this has the appearance pe arance of a m mathematical demonstration Bt and is calculated to deceive 11 people who do not investigate but it is not true rue to shove show it is untrue is the task of tho the protectionist on oa the assumption of the democratic free trader the ten tons difference in the duty that la Is what causes it and that ia is what it is the first fallacy is in assuming that this is to lost it is not lost it lias has gone into the national treasury and has saved raising an equal amount from tha the citizen by direct taxation taking the nation as a whole it has received to for arthe the wheat exported fifteen tons of iron and the value of ten tons of iron in gold thesis this is belt self evident and disposes of tho the proposition that the thena nation by imposing a doty daty on iron sacrifices tho the I 1 value of ten tons on a satt I 1 I 1 thousand bushela ol 01 wheat it explodes elodes the mathematical demonstration at the start there is w another belf evident proposition which is that the cost of 0 transporting tho the wheat across the ocean tho the loading port charges cost of ships officers sailors port charges and handling in tho the foreign port and freight to the consumer abroad and end the same itene ot of coat cost on tho the return cargo of 0 iron are all so much tax on tha the wheat and iron bat but principally on the wheat and are a 9 dead loaa loss to the country except that portion of the service which may be done by tho the country to these must bo be added all the riska of the ocean all tho the losses by the sinking of chips ships and cargoes and all tho the money boado by foreign insurance companies on tho the whole of 0 the export and import trade these burdens have to be supported by the producers ol 01 the wheat and iron and are so much loss lose to the property of the countries which make the exchanges no other source for the payment ot of these costs costa and losses can be imagined and hence this consideration also explodes the theory of profit laid down by the democratic free trader no country can make as much by bending sending its wheat abroad to ret get iron or cloth or manufactured wares as by manufacturing them at homo home abero is abill another and stronger consideration in the case care to be mentioned which bears directly on tho the question of Nal national lonal wealth though ita its relations naturally are very lom plex what does a bushel of wheat represent the answer depends on circumstances if 1 wheat is selling tor for one dollar and the farmer having a surplus bushel lives at such a distance distante from market that it costs cost a a dollar to transport the wheat it represents nothing and is valueless where the wheat commands a price which is paying where the farmer can exchange a thousand bushels for tons of iron the wheat represents the labor which went to make the iron that labor was embodied in the mind and hands handset of the human beings who dug the ore and manufactured it and those human beings imily imi ly hatters batters tanners tailors a and laborers hence the wheat represents the producing power of all toll these classes amounting in value to the worth of twenty five toas tons of iron per one thousand bubels or 1030 mora more or lesa less expressed in c coin oin A thousand bushels of wheat represent therefore 83 mush much producing po gocr ver inhuman in hannon life or machinery machin pry which ia is the product of human life la in other word words BO so much properly property bearing this in mind it Is apparent that the country which raises its thousand bushels of wheat and sends them to a foreign country in exchange for twenty five tons of iron after the exchange e hag has only the value of the iron iron left while the country which exchanges ha its wheat for homemade home made majo iron from has bo both th the iron and tho the wheat the latter being represented in the producing power of the hatters shoemakers shoemak era and other c operatives pera tives who have supplied the wants of the ironmaker iron maker it on ought not to require any arg argument ament to show that the building and operating of a manufactory is a positive source of wealth to a country but the democratic Damo cratic low tariff proposition denies this and contends that it is more profitable to import goods than to manu manufacture facture them the republican protectionist denies that national wealth is promoted by baying its goods made abroad the republican idea of protection is to buildup build up homo home business the makin making of hats boots cloth tools machines and all kinda kinds of wares la Is what creates business basine 83 and BO so far aa as our supplies come from abroad that amount of bu business elness is killed it la is self evident that the farmer and manufacturer can do better nearer than wide apart and the nation whish secures all its business at home will accumulate faster than thin by dividing it with another
