"A demonstrated wrong is always defended
plea (that toi 00 boeticep to theotmany
would iaPtet a loss on the few."
One feature of the tariff enquiry should
be noted by our wage earners and farm-
ers, viz : That the manufacturers with
one or two honorable exceptions, urged
that the duty on their raw materials be
removed or reduced, and that on their
finished produot increased, or the present
duty maintained.
.9. moments' tbought will convince any-
one that the finished produot of every
producer is the raw material of some
other producer. The skill of the mech-
anic for instance is his finished product,
which he sells to the manufacturer, to
whom it is the most important raw
material. On the other hand the finish-
ed produot of the manufaoturer is the
raw material of the workmen.
These obvious facts illustrate the in•
justine of the manufacturers demand for
free raw material, the most important
being labor, which cannot be protected,
(people with money or hoods to exchange
for wbat they demand.) The curtail-
ment in demand that proteotion entails
probably explains why it is that the trade
depressions that have swept the world
during the last twenty odd years have
invariably developed first in, and endured
d
longest in, the moot highly pe
countries. It ie during these periods of
depression that the combine is ueually
formed, which, if successful, saves the
mauufa0turer for a time by further dis-
tressing their suffering fellow oounbry
men in again exalting prices, the objeot
of all combines. The longer the menu-
faoturere bolster themselves up by such
schemes the higher must go the price, the
smaller will be the demand, the greater
the number of the unemployed, the wider
and keener the distrese throughout the
community and consequently the more
disastrous the inevitable orasb.
We, in Canada, are not very deeply in
the mire yob ; now that we have the np.
portunity let us give our vigorous young
country a chanes and abolish this bob•
rible aggression which tbo enemies of
liberty have caused to be palled probed•
tion, which in a thousand ways mush
undermine the moral fibre of our people
and inevitably bring ruin to many of
those for whose eupposed benefit it is
proposed to perpetuate it, viz., the mauu•
facturere,
If this incentive is not strong enough
let us abolish it -for the poverty and suf-
fering it necessarily entails on the wage
earners and farmers and the orime lb
must induce amonget those who consti•
tuts the fringe of the skirts of our civili-
zation, who have not inaptly been. called
"the submerged tenth," and whose num-
bers by the way are increasing at a great-
er ratio than population in all protection-
ists countries, and decreasing in free
trade countries.
It should always be remembered theb
to many of these poor people of the "sub-
merged tenth" a alight rise in the cost of
living means famine, crime or death.
It is only when we see men of wealth
with eunningly laid schemes to exalt
prices urging their case before the tariff
commission—aehemee, that if eucoessful,
must inevitably take the last pent from
many of the poor people of the "sub-
merged tenth,' thus driving them to
famine, crime or death, that the depth of
degradation to which protection leads
those who imagine themselvee financially
benefitted by its continuance, may be
fathomed. H. WessmoOTON.
Ottawa, April 7,'97.
Georrie2.
whilst they want the raw material of the
wage earners, viz., his house or all that
enters into its construction, his clothes,
bis food, his furniture, &o., highly pro-
tected, these things being the finished
produot of the manufacturer.
In countries where Governments act
on the advice of their manufacturers in
this regard, (protectionist countries) we
find distress amongst the wage earners
deepening, and in those oountries where
the raw material of the wage earners and
farmers is untaxed (free trade oouutries)
their material condition is improving.
This distress that invariably overtakes
the wage earners after the introduction
of proteotion In any country, arises from
the fact that such a system exalts latices
and lowers wages, for contrary to the
popular notion wages rise as prices fall,
and,converselyely
wages fall as pens
rise.
In apan
since 1800, the yearahe aUolish•
ed protection, prices have steadily fallen
and wages have as steadily risen. The
same is true of Great Britain and other
free trade countries where the full force
of the cheapening effects of modern im-
provements ie felt.
In Canada and the U. S. on the other
hand under protection prices have in a
measure been maintained and wages bave
fallen, or to pint it in another farm, the
benefits that under natural oouditions
sbould accrue to the marl= of the people,
from the cheapening effect of modern
improvements, have ho a great measure
been nullified by high protective duties
and the combine proteotion forces into
existence.
This seeming anomaly of ri,ing wages
as a result of lowering prices admits of
an easy explanation. Our daily experi-
ence teaches that a rise in the price of
any article checks consumption. This
check to consumption or demand will be
very marked if the rise in pries is artiti•
oia1, as wben it is obtained through the
intiuenoe of a combine, for such schemes
breed antagonism amonget consumers,
causing them to economise to the utmost
limit.
The deoreased quantity demanded re-
duces the number of men required to
produce and distribute it. This neces-
eerily checks the demand for laborers
all along the lino of production, con-
struction and distribution from the farm,
forest, mine, factory, warehouse and
store to the door of the consumer. There-
fore as a necessary reselt of et rise hi
prices many men are thrownoutof em-
ployment, to compete with their fellow
workmen orflse the country.
The lest census returns shote that
hundred,' of thousands of our people Left
Canada during the first ten years of pro-
te0ti0o and no one will deny that pro-
tection and the combines exalted prices
during that period. This competition
amonget the workmen reduces wages, for
wages do not depend on prices but upon
the competition amongst the employers
for the services of the unemployed, eon.
sequently the greater the cumber et the
unemployed the lower will fall the wagse.
Now whilst admitting that protection
for it short time after its introduction
gives the tnsnnfaoturers who clamour for
it high prices and low wages, this seem•
ing advantage is but a boomerang which
ultimately tanks destruction to them•
selves, for it is obtained only by rednoing
the pnrellaeing power of their mast ex•
iensive and valuable customers, namely,
the farmers and the wags earners•—these
two classes forming as they do the vast
mnjm:ity of every rommtlnity, the de-
crease in their purchasing powers (that
the impeeition of protective duties nem -
sexily entails) must anon involve the
manufatburere n1 flnen01a1 distrose,
As these periods of fieanoial distress
(or what is known as a trade depression)
miter in proteotod oouutries in the ab -
Benue of all known causes such es war,
pestilence ora failure of crops, there is
strong grounds for believing that it is
the shrinkage in demand which protec-
tion involves ereatee the trouble. Pro'
tective dutise certainly exalt price's,
Which as certainly cheeks demand.
Now whatever may be the tense of a
trade depression there la but one way in
Which it can manifest itself, and that fa ecu for 68 years upon the present home -
