[James &. Osgood & Co., of
hi, publish i|i neat and
fnyenient form, the address
Wwt P. Porter to the
Irkwright Club of New
jn gland, on "'Protection and
reeTrade Today?' Mr, Porter
iphieally presents exactly
tat voters in both political
jrties want to know,the facts
lowing how free trade and
jo taction works at home and
)r«ftd, in tjie field and tbe
)rkshop. He shows how
|ri<mlture, commerce and
MWfacturing in the United

Holland have been affect*
by these two economic

fill be appreciated by business
jen, farmers and artisans
to have no time to read a
fliline °n the subject,' but
io want a clear exposition

in European countries.
; Í regard to the elíe.* that
[* Pr* tect¿on system has had
the prosperity of this coun-
it gives the following
•nd figures, which eer*
can Jeaye no room for
*7 aftep th*y bad been
•nd considered,
1861 the Mofril tariff was
and for nearly a
« ofa century the country
7 ^ an<* prospered
lf an4 at the same time
' ^«ngh.the greatest
eiviJL war of modern times. It
is practically this law, revised
by the Tariff Commission, and
reduced by the law of 1883,
that we are now asked by
free-tiadets jto abolish alto-
gether, or modify by horizon -
tal reduction, -or ¡adjust for
revenue exclusively. There
|s noom for further revision,
but it ought to be done by
intelligent and friendly hands,
and after careful and calm
inquiry into the industrial
needs of the country.
Under the present tariff
law we have grown from a
purely agricultural country
largely dependent upon En-
rope for our manufactures, to
a nation teeming with im-
portant industries. During
twenty y ars of projection we
have added 20,000,000 to our
population-; the number of our
cities and towns (with over
8,000 inhabitants) has actual-
ly doubled—from 14J. to 286
The population of our cities
has more than doubled—
0,000.000, in 1800 to upwards
of 11,000,000 in 18*0. T¿e
important industries have
developed in the same propor-
tions. The annual product, of
our coal mines has increased
from 14,000,000 tons in 1860
to 96,000,000 now—or nearly
sevenfold. Our iron mines in
1860 produced 900,000 tons
of ore, but the stimulus of
protection has brought up the
annual yield to nearly nine
times that amount, or 8,000,--
000 tons. The various metal
industries of the country were
in 1860 employing abont 53,-
000 hands, consuming $100,-
000,000 worth of material,
and producing $180,000,000
worth of annual product. To-
dajr these same industries give
employment to 300,000 hands,
consume #380,000,000 worth
of material, and produce
every year $600,000.000 in
value of manufactured goods.
In 1860 about 130,000 persons
were engaged in industries
relating to wood and, its
manufactures; today 340,000
are so engaged, while the
value of the annual product
has increased threefold,
exceeding now $500,000,000.
A judicious tariff has increased
the number employed Tn the
woollen industry from 60,000
to over 60,000, while the
value of the yearly product of
onr home mills has risen from
$80 000,000 to |27C,000,000.
In tbe cotton industry need I
say that we have practically
robbed England of 55,000.-
000 customers, increased the
number employed in our
mills to 200,000 persons, and,
in the lait* two decades,
doubled the value of tbe
product. Imports of cotton
from 227,000,000 yards in
1860 to 23,000,000 yards in
1881, while export reached,
the same year, 160,000.000
yards, A more remarkable
progress has been made in the
silk industry, which, before
the Morril jtariff, gave employ-
ment to 5,000 persons; in
1880 it employed over 30,000
—a sixfold iucrease, The im-
portation of silk goods has
remained stationary since
1860, at about $30,000,000
the production of our own
mills increasing from $6,000,-
000 in 1860 to over $40,000,-
000 in 1880.
The manufacture of pot tery,
stoneware, and glass employ-
ed 12,000 in I860 against
35,000 now. The chemical
industry was in its infancy
thirty years ago-6,000 persons
were engaged in i'; today
there are five times that
number, or 30,000. Our 30,
000 miles of railroads of those
times will exceed 120,000
miles at the close of the
present year—a mileage equal
to the railway mileage of the
rest of the world.
