A Batch of Fallacies- Protectionism Con- Vance on the Ar- in Favor of High Tariff. ARTICLE. IV. Baltimore Sun. Having somewhat dis the injustice, inequalities and dangerous tendencies of tariff taxation, even the most and well-guarded we will now examine what is said in its favor. The pretensions made tor it are most remarkable. They frequently do not stop at the absurd hut approach the miraculous itself. If one-half that is claimed for it. be true, there should be no excuse for poverty or suffering on earth for there is none so low in civilization and but its statesmen id enact high tar- or prohibit altogether any trade with foreigners, and that, in the opinion of protectionists, is the secret of the whole process of natural wealth. And what a el and unjustifiable thing e did when we sent n fleet of war ships to open by force the exclusive pol- icy of Japan to the commerce of the world She was met ting our own policy in giving her own manufacturers a home mar- and trying to get rich by ding with each other. What are the claims put forth by the friends of protection Let me mention a few, with the nu demanding that nobody is to laugh. that it encourages our infant ; that without it they could not compete with the pauper of Europe ; that it raises the price of the products ; t hut it lowers the prices of manufactured products ; that it revenue by taxing the who bring in the goods, that it keeps our money at home and main the balance of trade in our favor. Whilst it does all this they say at the same time it is no tax at all, and that the duty does not enter in the price of the article on which it is imposed It is mere pretense of taxation, a kind of commercial fiction or man of straw, like John Doe and Richard Roe. and the confession of en try and in the old action of by which the for- is ejected from our market and made to pay our taxes out of his own pocket, whilst oar own people obtain a of the court that they shall buy every- thing cheap and sell everything dear After so many grave economists and alleged state- men have asserted things in behalf of protection, what right has any mar. laugh at the claims of the most pretentious patent medicine ever advertised I don't believe I ever saw one which professed that it could kill ii man and restore him to lite by for one rubbing outwardly for the other purpose. Yet a thing than this is claimed for protection. It reduces prices to the purchaser ; it pro- the manufacturer because the duty added to cost the article him to compete with the foreigner, but as the duty is not added to the cost of the home made article the consumer pays no more than be would if there was no duty at ail. and in fact he gets the article cheaper. me illus- It costs in England cents to make u yard of flannel, where labor is cheap and wool it free. In America, where is higher and wool is taxed fifty-six per cent, it costs thirty cents to make a yard of the same flannel. The American manufacturer says he can't compete, and the Eng- is bound to undersell drive him out of the business. Tins is undoubtedly true, for arithmetic proves it. Very well. A of per cent, is then placed on the Englishman's flannel ; this enables the American las turn the tables on bis rival and undersell him. How so Sim- ply because the duty of ten cents a being added to the foreign articles makes it c-st thirty cents also, whilst cost transportation raises it above the cost of the home article So far nobody dis- the plum arithmetic of the case. But after the has paid many flannel, but to support the in a losing contest at last gets tired of being tax- ed for another man's pocket and proposes to remove some of it ; then the figures which we have known and I rusted from childhood to lie. The is that he is altogether ken ; be is not taxed a all ; the is added to the price of flannel, and assures him in that be never bought flan- so cheap Nay some- times when his blood is tip, be will so far us to say that be makes flannels cheaper than the Englishman, and lie can beat him at his own game any day Now an man with die senses will say that a lie in tis statement. There is bound to be. the manufacturer lies when he says the whole or in part is not added to the puce, or he lies when be says that he can't compete without the duty ; that is, without something that is In my opinion both tons are of due ex- use the language of a Spanish diplomat. My been that in mutters touching and their profits under it. the reputation of protect- ed is much the same as that of whom his eulogist wrote that his for the truth was so great that be never uttered it, or went near it, or with it in any way whatever. can the tax protect home products unless it increases the price How can it increase the price unless it is added in whole or in part to the cost if they can goods as cheap as the foreigner, why can't they compete with him, and what is the necessity of re- the duty When push- ed to the wall on this point they say the duty keeps out the for- gives them the entire home market But what benefit is the home market to them they are supplying it And if they do make money and still make cheaper goods than the for the question then recurs with redoubled force, why keep up the duty It is too plain argument, the price of domestic is enhanced by u duty on the foreign, enhanced the expense of the consumer. Com- sense and common honesty can make nothing else out of it. That protection encourages our undoubtedly true. But it so happens that there are two sides to that proposition, as there are to almost all others. Man himself is bilateral, and if seems to be a law nature at well So also in the moral Id. A self-opinionated old of my acquaintance was once brought to what ed to be his death- bed, and in for long journey, the preacher was called in. said the side of the proposition that a tar- encourages our own When men deal with each other, if one makes money by the must be at the ex- of he other ; if one gains, the other loses It is true that in changing one article for another not both sides are benefited, but that is different from a sale If A is compelled by law to pay B ten cents a yard more than the normal price flannel, I can well see how B is to the amount of ten cents, but I can't see for the life of me where A's benefit comes in. It is undoubtedly to the extent of ten cents, it seems to me that A must just as surely lie to the same is, always supposing that A his common sense. If he were a natural ass he might, when the whole pro- theory him, feel blankets. Who pays that tax Every man who buys a Every farmer in this broad land, every wagoner, ditcher, short, every man who sleeps under a blanket, High and low, rich and poor, the path instead of getting his head out in the daylight of 1888, had got it into the cupboard of rebellion, and as dark as hI and smeller like slavery. Laugh- It was to the credit of the Democrats of the House that lord the mansion and they had something better to shivering widow in the cottage, j talk about than issues which had by the loss of his money. So the duty of two per thousand is a great encouragement to men engaged in the cutting of lumber, but to the same extent it is dis- to the poor man who is about to build a to his wife and children. The same may be said of window glass, crockery, iron and woolen clothing and it ; if the tax laid on these things encourages the men who pay it then it can only be so on the principle that it is more bless- ed to give than to receive ; an ex- precept in morals, but doubtful application in political economy I take it to be a self evident proposition that where there train there must be a responding loss somewhere. If one man a community gets rich in such a way, the people around him are by just that amount. If one section gets rich in like manner, it must be so, or- much of the wealth of other sections. When trade left free it is not necessarily so. The natural laws political economy, which sire a beautiful system of compensations, checks and balances, tend to equalize the gains and losses man intercourses But where the law interferes, and by taxation confers unnatural gains on one it imposes an unnatural loss on another. The laws of economy not right this wrong reparation to the taxed man though they may avenge their vi- do, by injuries of equal extent to the wrong Falling to show how these things can he done by protection ; how the tax can enter into the question when needed to keep the foreigner out, and obligingly pear when the consumer is ed to pay, and then reappear again in the treasury, like a or a jumping Jack in a magic ; or bow a duty levied to protect is not a tax imposed on one class to en- rich ; falling utterly to ex- plain in detail these and impossible things, the ad- of the theory tall back on generalities, trusting to the or indisposition of the com- to distinguish between cause and effect. With this aim they constantly present the public attention with a series the most delightful pictures of local prosperity. They will tell us that in a certain place there was a stream of water flowing idly to the sea, the country was rude and poor, the inhabitants few, and m poverty ignorance. One tine day a wandering capitalist cornea along in search of an investment for his money. He sees this stream, immediately es its power to machinery He conceives the idea of making blankets, but he can't make them as cheap as they are made abroad He the site and water power for a song, goes to Congress gets a tax of per cent ed on all foreign builds his mills and goes to work. As if by magic the whole scene is changed.

Well, isn't it a convincing all pay a tax over and above the actual cost of to produce this scene of beauty and It is a prospect of love for the thoughtful man, by the foul streaks of injustice and under the forms of law It has all been paid for by pinching, discomfort and self-denial in every homo and laud.

The only difference I can see between them is in favor of the direct from the treasury. In the first place the is limit- ed, whilst under the Smith collects all he can without limit. In the next place, the people know just what was done with their money, and hot be confused and deceived as to the real of the taxation. Then if they saw to he bled to enrich private persons, they would suffer with their eves open. The next paper will deal with the pictures of general prosperity which, is alleged, the tariff has produced. Z B. Vance. Brought to Grief.

The Ways and Means Committee was Republican. The average rate of duties collected on goods the preceding year. 1856, had only been 22.43 per cent. This was the very lowest rate any year for forty years. It was less than half the rate now ed. There had been a Ions of low duties and the rate was constantly falling. If a low tariff is disastrous those years should have tested and demonstrated the fact. If a low tariff tends to rest the progress of civilization and the accumulation and fair fusion of wealth, these eleven years of low tariff have proved it beyond dispute.

And our brother quill drivers defy a comparison with other towns. Well, we don't make any special boast of the beauty of Greenville as a town and Wilson may be just a little ahead of us in that respect, but when it comes to the beauty of the inhabitants we will put Greenville against the State.

Warrenton was our on this trip, i. e. near by. On the ride over from Warren Plains we were so glad to find our old friend Lee Bonner standing at the throttle that we went over on the engine with him. Goodness didn't he take us down there The train fairly whizzed, and scarcely had etc., been said before the three miles lay behind and War was reached. our first visit to that town, and not- withstanding the short stay, it made impressions not soon to be forgotten. It has a stirring and an immense business is done there. A half hour was pleasantly spent in the ton warehouse, White Allen proprietors. This is one of the largest tobacco warehouses n the State and while showing us around Mr. Allen explained the handling of the weed from its arrival at the auction room until prepared for shipment. At the time of our visit there were pounds of tobacco in the building. An interesting val was going on in the Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. J. L. W of Raleigh. We attend- ed one of his bible readings, de- riving much enjoyment there- from. Having an hour to spare after the arrival of the train at we ran up town to see what was going on there. Court was in session and most of the crowd had been attracted to the hall of justice. We found Tarboro paring for a veritable boom. A pleasant chat with Mayor revealed the fact that sub- had been secured for a cotton factory and for a canning factory and they would be start- ed soon. A board of trade has been organized, a Young Men's Christian has been established, a town hall is consideration, a park is being enclosed and various improvements are suggested. We expect to hear of electric lights and street cars in the near future. We found friend Hart, of the Hammond Hotel, as clever and as ever. It is always a pleasure to stop with him.

We were particularly anxious to see Joe and get even with him we won't say what just now. somebody had whispered to us that his face was wreathed in a smile that betokened tender associations. Yes, it was discovered in this era of low license that Joe Dan- ere leap year is one-third gone, had been entrapped by Cupid's glances and in the rosy month of May will join the great army of Ta, Jo- no more fun with us boys for you. The next place noticed in our travels was Wake Forest, as it is impossible to pass there without looking with admiration upon the grand institution of learning there located. North Carolina is to be congratulated for having within her borders such a school as Wake Forest College. It made us glad to step from the car and grasp the hand of some of the Pitt county boys who are using their studies within those college walls. The cars contained numbers of people en route for the railroad celebration at Oxford. These got off at Henderson to take the branch road to Oxford. As said in the outset, the re- that occurred is men- elsewhere.
