WOOLEN MANUFACTURERS j
URGE MODERATION.
Admit That. Ilijrh Outle* and f'on?rqn^nt j
High Priwi Will Ueatrict the I'se of
Woolens.
Some of the severest criticisms not
only of special duties and clauses, but
of the whole accursed protective system,
come from the protected mannfac- j
tnrers themselves 'u tbeir struggle with
opposing interests. Mr. S. X. D. North, j
secretary of the Woolen Manufacturers'
association, is now and always has been j
a stanch protectionist. As such he be- <
lieves that the 70,000,COO consumers of j
injs country arc Jt-giiiiuiui- nuujuvu-! iui i
plunder and that the manufacturers
are the proper persons to enjoy the pro- j
tectiou plunder. . j
Tho free wool experiment which w^
havo been trying for three years, besides i
being an object lesson in the way of
cheap wcoleus, has taught the woolen |
manufacturers that they can make .as |
much or more profit with free wool and I
moderate protection, which permits ytopie
of moderate means to wear real I
woolen goods, than with high duties on J
both wool and woolens, which restricts j
tho use of woolens to people in gcod cir- i
cumstauccs. The manufacturers there- 1
fore display more than their usual modesty
and patriotism in the advice which
they are giving to congress. Mr. North
is in Washington to voice the manufacturers'
patriotism. Here is part of his
advice as taken from the Washington i
f TVio Drr f)nnH? T<V>nn- I
LU1 itn^iUUUVUVW V* AMV * J
omist:
I am free to say the hill is far from satisfactory
to the woolen manufacturers. The chief
fault is to be found with the raw wool duties,
which are so high that our manufacturers will
Pnd themselves sorely embarrassed. It is true
Ihe committee has provided compensatory
iuties which are probably sufficient to offset
!he duties on raw woo*., but the difficulty will
le, in my opinion, that the very considerable
Increase in price which must be made to cover
the additional cost of raw material will have
the effect of cutting down consumption to an
extent that will be disastrous to the manufacturers.
I do not contend that the rates on
woolen manufactures in the bill are not suffltient
to protect us against too severe foreign
competition, bnt the limit of the consumer's
purchasing power must control him in buying
Woolen manufactures, and I fear the rates of
the new bill will very materially restrict conlumption.
This is practically saying to Dingley,
Aldrieh and the other servants of the
protected manufacturers at Washington:
"Go slow With your high duties and
don't try to protect too muny. If you
let everybody into the protection ring,
there will be nobody outside to prey
tipon aud we will have to prey upon
each other. Don't make the mistake of
taxing raw materials too higk We
wouldn't mind it if we cotald Sell oar
goods and charge the tax ore* to the
consumer. But when the tax is so high
that we have to hiake our prices almost
out of sight we have found that we cannot
sell so many good*, because the people
can't afford to wear clothes^?that
is, woolen clothes, which are the only
ones worth considering because they are
the only ones which we manufacture.
Our solicitude for the dear American
consumer is such that we do not wish
to compel him io clothe jiimself in the
skins of beasts, which are neither fashionable
nor healthful. Let ns not tax
him to death. Let us be reasonable a:ad
encourage him tb live and to wear
clothes. By so doing wb can keep our
mills running and give employment td
American wbrkingmen at American
wages, which, after all, is the chief cbject
aimed at by us protected manufnoturers."?Byron
W. Holt
The Protectionist Performance.
The following is a part of ex-Congressman
Jobp De Witt Warner's criticism
of the Dingley bill:
"As it stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words of the same actors in
the Fifty-first congress. The McKinley*
bill of that date was virtually entitled
'a bill to reduce revenues.' The Dingley
bill is specially commended as a revenue
getter. The McKiuley bill pointed with
pride to the poor man's free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar i
?a single item of the breakfast table?
one-third of the total amount of the
tariff tax proposed. The items which
are supposed to help the fanner are good
examples of so setting your trap as to
'cotch 'em a-cumin and a-gwine.' For
instance, we have reciprocity in order !
to give the farmers a market abroad for I
what it is assumed they cannot produce J
for home consumption unless they are j
highly protected, an is done by another I

Every advance toward a free et- i
change of commodities is an advance in j

exchange is born of the same narrow, ;
despotic spirit which planted castles tipon

Every obstruction to commerce

If congress can advance the price of
hides 2 cents a pound in this country,
the people will pay several millions a
year more than they do now for their

into the pockets of the Beef trust.? 1
