THE COOLIE QUESTION AND FREE
TRADE.
From the A. 1". World.
A city journal recently undertook to show
that the Democratic party cannot oppose a
great influx of coolie laborers without involv
ing itself in inconsistency. That journal
asserts, truly enough, that the Democratic
party is a free-trade party; . but draws the un
warrantable inference that a free-trade party
cannot, without stultifying itself, resist the
introduction of cheap labor while it favors the
introduction of cheap goods. This is one of
those plausible crotchets that explode as soon
as the light falls upon them. It is true
enough tbat labor is employed in the produc
tion of commodities: but it is not true that
cheap labor and cheap commodities always go
together.
The free-trade question and the labor
question are so distinct that no sophistry can
confuse them. The labor question hinges
upon the equitable division of the products
of labor between employers and employes.
Mr. Samson, of North Adams, does not intend
to give the community cheaper shoes, but
to increase his own profits. Selling shoes at
the same price, the less he pays to his coolie
workmen, the more he will have left to
increase his capital. The tariff and coolie
immigration have the same object, namely :
to enhance the profits of the manufacturer.
Free trade rests for its defense upon the
great fact that the Creator has diversified the
globe on which we dwell with an infinite va
riety of soils, climates, productions, mineral
resources, and other capabilities, and that
these inequalities between different countries
are increased by differences in civilization,
and in the capacities, wants, and modes of
living of their inhabitants. If both oranges
and ice were produced with equal facility in
the Island of Cuba and the State of Maine,
there could never arise a question of the in
terchange of these productions between these
places, because any differences in the price
of labor would be more than cancelled by
the cost of transportation. Ice can be pro
duced in the West Indies by processes well
known to chemists; oranges can be grown
in Maino by hot-house culture; but it
would require a hundred times the
labor to produce either in such a struggle
against climate that is needed to pick the
oranges where they are given in perfection
by the spontaneous bounty of the tropics, or
to cut and fchip the ice which the rigor of a
Ntrthtrn winter congeals on the surface of
ev4ry lake and stream. The cost of trans
portation is a trifle compared with this differ
ence in the faoility of production. The same
amount of human labor can deliver a hundred
times as much ice in Havana by gathering
oranges in the interior of Cuba, as it could do
by generating ice with a powerful air-pump:
and so, on the other hand, a Yankee could lay
down on a Portland dock a hundred times as
many barrels of oranges by employing him
self in cutting ice, as he could deliver by cul
tivating oranges in a green-house. The
primary question is not a question of the
comparative rates of wages in Maine and in
Cuba, but between the productiveness of the
same amount of labor when employed on
the same commodity. Free trade gives to
the inhabitants of every country the full ad
vantage of the prodigal bounty of nature in the
every other. It enables every region of the
globe to procure the peculiar commodities of
every other, with only the labor they cost in
others plus the transportation. It enriches
the human race by increasing the general
stock of the products of labor; and as the
fruit of abundance is cheapness, it enables
every individual who has wages to expend to
get the greatest sum of comforts in exchange
tor them. Free trade, instead of lowering
wages, increases their value by cheapening
the prices of goods. It is the undisputed
purpose of a protective tariff to raise prices
for the benefit of the home producer.
Between the introduction of cheap foreign
goods and cheap foreign labor, there is this
great difference: that the cheap goods bene
lit the whole mass of buyers who make np the
community, whereas the cheap labor benefits
only the individuals who employ it so long as
the prices of commodities are regulated and
kept , up by the tariff. Tho tariff render
labor unproductive by forcing it into unpro
fitable employments, and taxing the whole
body of laborers and consumers to make np
the loss. The question between capital and
labor relates to the division of products; but
as no more can be divided than is produced,
capital can get its customary profits in an un
productive employment only by diminishing
wages, either directly, or by the enhanoed cost
of living. With free trade our domestic labor
w ould all be engaged in the mo3t profitable
employments, increasing the common fund
t l be apportioned between capitalists and
operatives.
The introduction of cheap labor merely to
benefit the manufacturing monopolists would
be no advantage to the country. Cheap labor
in China gives us cheap tea; but if ooo'ies
were brought here to cultivate the tea-plant
under a high protective tariff, the effect
would be to diminish Americau wages and at
the same time augment the cost of living..
When the coolies raise tea for us in China we
get the full advantage of their cheap labor,
and, what is more important, of its employ
ment in a productive occupation. If they
fcLould raise tea in this country under
a tariff high enough to enable capital
to make a profit, the cheapness of
their labor would benefit nobody, but
the employer, and inflict upon the' rest
of the community the double evil of dear tea
and injurious competition for employment,
The same reasoning will equally apply to. the
importation of coolies for any of the protected.
industries. With free trade we should have
the full advantage of the cheap labor ef other
countries and of its employment under favor
iDg influences of soil and: climate. Using it
in this way, we should confer a benefit on
our own laborers by cheapening the cost of
living without reducing their wages, and
without laising new jealousies or antagonisms
of race, or introducing new complications
into our politics by further degrading the
fcuffrage.
THE FINDING SCHEMES BEFORE
CONGRESS.
From tht A. Y. Timt.
Mr. Schenck has great tenacity of purpose,
and it is now to be exercised iu behalf of the
Funding bill, reported some weeks ago from
the Ways and Means Committee. The Senate
passed its bill in March. The two measures
differ essentially in their scope and design.
The Senate scheme provides for the issue
of time classes of bonds, each to the extent
of four hundred millions of dollars, bearing
rrspectitely five, four and a half, and four
j tr cent, interest, redeemable at periods
inlying with tbe interest. The diversity of
ittutfl iim-bts this feature of the bill with
an experimental character. It indicates a
willingness to facilitate funding, but Blender
faith in its feasibility. For if twenty-forty
bonds, at four per cent., are marketable, the
issue of four and a half and five per cent,
bonds should not be attempted; and, vice
tcrsa, if only a five per cent, security is likely
to find customers, the proposal to issue
others is a mistake, because it entails upon
tbe Treasury the discredit inseparable even
from an appearance of failure. Iu another
respect the bill is bad. By the orcmization
of foreign agencies it in effect confesses that
the sale of bonds must be negotiated in
Europe, or not at an. Wow, we do not share
the opinion of those who affect horror at the
idea of foreign indebtedness on account of
American securities. The fact undoubtedly
tends to aggravate possible financial compli
cations; but, on the other hand, it implies the
Duplication of JLuropean capital to Americau
development, the profits of which more than
counterbalance the risk incurred. Still, the
flow of Government bonds towards Europe
should, be the result of a natural demand
not of an operation that would place this
country in the attitude of a power seeking
accommodation at the hands of distant
money-lenders. Our war loans were all ne
gotiated here; and it would be better to await
a fitting opportunity for the floating of the
funding loan here, than to confess depend
ence upon Frankfort, Paris, or London, for
the means of improving our financial posi
tion.
For the payment of interest and the gradual
reduction of tho principal, the bill appro
priates out of' customs receipts $ 150, 000,000
annually, the effect of whicn would be the
application to the purposes of a sinking fund
of a sum considerably in excess of that re
quired by the law now in force. . Wo think
this increase undesirable. Twenty-five mil
lions yearly applied to a sinking fund, with
the constantly growing additions resulting
from the operation of that fund, would be
amply suthcient for the maintenance of the
public credit and the extinction of the debt;
and on this basis the annual sum called for
on account of the debt would be much loan
than the sum prescribed by the Senate. If
we are to go on reducing the taxes, this ten
dency to increase expenditures, to hasten the
diminution of unmatured indebtedness, can
not be too soon checked.
The bill is further encumbered with pro
visions which more' properly belong to a
measure belonging to banking and currency..
It might be well to make some specific class
of the new bonds the basis of new ban'iing
facilities ; but details relaiiug to note circu
lation and gold banking are out of place in
a measure wnicn should contemplate only
the funding of the bonded debt.
In its simplicity the bill before the House
is preferable. It authorizes the issue of a
single class of bonds, redeemable after thirty
years, and amounting in the aggregate to
one thousand millions. The provisions in
regard to the issue of the new bonds, and the
conversion of outstanding five-twenties, are
clear enough. And the system of foreign
agencies is very wisely discarded. The de
batable question is, whether a four per cent,
loan is at present negotiable. ' The common
place 'plea that the United States Govern
ment should be able to obtain all the money
it needs at rates as low as those paid by
the first-class powers of Europe, is ob
viously untenable. A government can
scarcely hope to borrow on much better
terms than the most favored of its own
people, whose average, rate of interest deter
mines, approximately, the rate which the
Government must expect to pay. We need
hardly say that money is worth much more
here than in Germany, France, or England,
and if a demand for , our securities comes
from either of these countries, it is because
our investments yield larger returns than are
available there upon home investments. For
this reason we are not sanguine as to the re
sult of the enactment of the House plan. If
the Secretary of the Treasury has more confi
dence upon this point, let him have a chance
of trying what can be done. Failure will not
be flattering to the national pride, but success
would most assuredly be a great triumph for
Mr. Bout well.
We trust, however, that the section em
powering the .Secretary to employ Treasury
gold at ' his discretion, in the purchase of the
present six per cent, bonds will not be s us
tained. Adequate provision is made for
carrying into effect the purposes of the Sink
ing t und law and this should suffice. The
public credit requires no more, and no more
should be attempted. If, after meeting all
requirements; a surplus exists, its legitimate
application will be in one of two directions.
Either it should be reserved for the further
reduction of taxes, or it should swell the aocu
mulation which must begin some time, if
specie payment is ever to be resumed, and
which, meanwhile, should help the Govern
ment to defeat the machinations of the gold
gamblers.
Another of the propositions submitted by
the Ways and Means Committee is equally
objectionable. It virtually converts the
Treasury into a bank on a specie basis, allow
ing it to receive gold on deposit, issuing
three per cent certificates, and permitting
the Secretary to use seventy-five per cent, of
the deposits in the redemption of bonds not
yet due. Our financial system is already
sufficiently complicated; the Treasury has
responsibility and work enough as it is, and
the proposal reported by Mr. Schenck would
add to those responsibilities and complica
tions risks which are at variance with ordi
nary notions of financial safety.
CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE AND AN
NEXATION.
From the N. T. Ti ibune.
It is wonderful how logical the Fenian raid
has made our Canadian friends. It is sin
cerely to be hoped JAiat the result has been
as beneficial to the invaders, though we fear
not. But it has certainly set tbe Canadians
thinking, and here is one of the conclusions
to which they have come after revolving the
fishery question in their minds. Canada, as
a colony, the ' English leaders say, has no
light to engage in war or to force the Mother
Country into war. But having set up as a
Dominion for herself, she is told by England
tbat she must protect and defend herself
But suppose, says one pertinent and perhaps
rather impertinent querist, Canada in pro
tecting her fishery rights becomes embroiled
with the United States, will England tight
her battles ? "Ob, no, they quote the Lon
don Telegraph as saying very rtuch as if it
were Mr. Lowe talking in the Commons,
"fortunately for us we are out of it siuoe the
question concerps Canada practically in these
matters an independent power and the
United States, its great neighbor." This is
like saving that if tbe Dominion offend, she
must apologize, or if Eugland in forced to
defend ber, the colony must submit to have
the expenses of war charged to her aoouunt,
And since the cost of war on any aojount
Alabama claims or fishery question must
fall on Canada, her duplex position as au
independent dominion and a depeulent
colony is not highly gieal!e to the people
who iuv the taxed. Cauada feels all the
more nervous over this discovery for the
reason tbat she lately gave the United States
polite notice that American fishermen oannot
fih any longer ' in Canadian ' waters, except-
where the puvilege is secured us by definite
treaties. She need not tremble. We shall
trouble our neighbors.
But Canada will soon nee that the only solu
tion to her difficulties is to be found in annex
ation. To that belief have already come num
bers of her property holders and politicians;
and the latest development of Canadian poli
tics is the formation of the Union League of
Montreal, whose organization has beeu de
tailed in our Ottawa correspondence, and
whose purpose is to secure first the conso
lidation of the Dominion, then its inde
pendence, and finally its annexation to tho
United States. The programme is faulty
in beiDg a trifle too elaborate. Our
Canadian friends still hold the slow notion
that it takes a generation or two to effect a re
volution of this kind. In this ago we destroy
institutions, overturn empires, and consoli
date nations with the rapidity of earthquake
shocks and with far less commotion. Sepa
ration from England, which they call inde
pendence, is already assured the Canadians;
both mother and child assent to this with
equal eagerness, and a formal proposition
from either party would be gladly accented
by the other. But perfect union there will
not be in the New Dominion. It is an unne
cessary step toward the annexation which
will be so eminently to the advantage of
Canada, and the idea of which requires but
little agitation to become popular there.
There will be independence whenever Canada
wishes it, and there will be annexation before
consolidation.
