The County Echo

Tariff Reform and the Unemployed, j To the Editor of "County Echo." Sir,-I am delighted to find that lleform- er is prepared to admit that we, as a nation, are going forward that we are progressing commercially. His words are: It is unwise to confine ourselves to asking whether we as a nation are going for ward,there is nodoubt about that." The impression which the speeches and the writings of the majority of Tariif lie- formers make upon me is that this country is, not only not going forward, but is going backward. Mr Chamberlain, when he started out on his missions of protection, stated he was moved to do so because our trade was dwindling. But was the prophet of protection right in this ? Was the vision that he had seen of the fabric of our commerce as a tattering and de- caying fabric that needed to be supported by the buttresses of Tariif Heform a true vision ? We say that it was not. The trade figures supplied by the Board of Trade which tell of a healthy and growing and a progressive com- merce are against such a contention. Last year will be memorable as a record year in the history of the trade of this country and not only S,), but it has no parallel in the history of any other nation in the world we did more business last year than has been known to have been doue by any nation since the world begun. But is our trade progressing ? That is the question or is it stagnant, or does it dwindle? The figures tell that we are progressive and full of life. Let me quote to you a few figures; they speak for themselves. The total trade of the United Kingdom has been as follows :— the United Kingdom has been as follows 1895 2702,522,06.5 1900 677,448,917 1905 972,616,444 1907 1072,108,772 By these figures we see that the trade of the country has increased by nearly e370,000,000 in twelve years that shows that more than one half of our total trade in 1895 has been added to the bulk of our trade in twelve years. But perhaps Reformer would, like other pro- tectionists, attach more importance to our ex- poort trade. The following are the figures of our exports for the same period :— 1895 2226,000,000 1900 291,000,000 1905 330,000,000 1907 426,200,000 It will be seen by these figures that our ex- port trade has nearly doubled in twelve years. I submit therefore that our trade is not suffer- ing. On the contrary, it has expanded mar- vellously. Why then, I ask, change the fiscal system that has produced such splendid results? Reformer, though admitting the fact that we are going forward, asks the question- But are we going forward faster than our competitors?" The answer again is in the affirmative. Our only serious competitors are Germany, France and the United States. The Board of Trade returns just issued enable us to make a comparison with these countries down to the end of 1907. The tbales cf imports aud exports for 1907 with the increase over the preceeding year are as follows :—Imports— United Kingdom £ 553,932,000 1 Increase 31,140,000 Germany 422,707,000 Increase 28,297,000 United States 296,519,000 Increase 21,414,000 France 241,906,000 Increase 16,816.000 While the United Kingdom imports increased by 50 per cent., those of political Germany increased 7'1 per cent. But turning to exports we find the follow- ing results for last year :— Exports. Increase. United Kingdom £ 126,205,000. £ 50,630,000 Germany. 337,722.000. 25,070,000 United States 391,859,000. 25.543,000 France 221,681,000. 11,013,000 France 221,681,000. 11,013,000 It will be seen by these figures that the in- crease in our export trade last year was equal to the combined increase in that of Germany and the United States. I hope that these figures will reassure Reformer that we are going faster than our competitors. As to the question of employment, Reformer repeats the statement with emphasis that Tariff Reform would alleviate the problem of the unemploy- ed. He has every right to do so if he can sup- port his statement with facts. If I could be sure that the application of a system of pro-j tective duties would do this I would accept Tariff Reform at this moment. But what are the facts ? Tariff Reform is in practice at present in the United States and in Germany, and its operation does not alleviate the pro- qiem of unemployment in those conntries. Mr Lloyd-George, speaking in the House of Com- mons last week stated that in Berlin at the present time there are 45,000 men out of em- ployment, while aocording to the estimate of the Times," there was iu New York 24 per- J cedt of unemployment, and throughout Amer- ica, a quarter or one third of the people were out of work, and according to a report frcm Philadelphia on the 24th February, it was estimated that over 30,000 factory workeis were idle, and that the problem of the unem- ployed remained a national anxiety.' The con- dition of things in the United States does not lend support to the contention that Tariff Reform will alleviate the problem of unem- ployment. The following is a copy of a telegram from the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Mail,' and no one will say that the Daily Mail' is biased in favour of Free Trade Germany is alarmed over the economic consequences of the emigrant rush from America. It is feared that teas of thousands of Russians, Poles, Hungarians, &c., landing at Hamburg and Bremen after having spent their last coins on the passage back to Europe, may become stranded in Germany and glut the already overcrowded domestic market to a critical degree. It is suggested to-night that the danger is sufficiently serious to induce the Im- perial Government to consider whether Ger- many should not immediately resort to rigor- ous prohibitive measures enforced by the Am- erican Immigation Authorities, and arbitrarily put up bars against the torrent of homeless undesirables. The precautions are projected in consequence of the fact that the Father- land's own army of unemployed is assuming greater dimensions from day to day." Then states The unemployed situation is so acute that trade unions have been compelled to reduce their doles to members to half the usual proportions, while various borough authorities are considering temporary public t, p grants under the guise of none-em ploy men t insurance." It is likewise useless to look to protective Germany, with the above facts before us, for proof that Tariff Reform even alleviates the problem of the unemployed. "Reformer" relies a good deal upon the emigration argument for substantiating his case. Tariff Reformers make much of the comparison between the emigration figures of England and Germany, asserting that the large outflow of our surplus population is an indica- tion of the failure of Free Trade to provide work for our population. At the outset I would like to point out that the figures do not supply a fair basis of comparison. The Ger- man figures apply to emigrant proper, that is, intending settlers, whereas ours include all passengers who leave our shores. I crossed the Atlantic to the United States in 1904, but not with the intention of settling my name is included in the list of emigrants for that year, and there are thousands who have crossed in the same way and have returned but their names are in the list of emigrants. I still noia mac mere are inducements held out before the Britisher to emigrate that arc not held out to the German or anyone else. We are a colonising nation, and the colonies which we possess make a great demand upon our population. Through the colonies and thfl United States, which, in spite of its 80,000,000 of people, is still a thinly populated country, half the world stands out before tne Britisher where his language is spoken, where the the customs, the laws, and the conditions of life are those which he has been accustomed to. "Reformer" informs me that Germany has colonies. I am perfectly aware of that fact. I would submit that the colonies which Germany possesses are not of the kind that would offer any goeat inducement to the people t, p of Germany or any other Europeans to settle in them. Many of the emigrants who leave cnr shores go from Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland, owing to causes which have nothing to do with the fiscal question. It was stated in the House of Commons during the discussion on the Scottish Land Bill that the land iu the Highlands was thrown out of culti- vation and converted into deer parks for the pleasure of the rich, and that the emigration from Scotland last year exceeded that from Ireland. If Protection is going to supply work for all I would like to ask Reformer why did half a million of people leave highly- protected Ita-ly in 1905, and more than that in 1906. I leave that question with him to explain. I admit readily that there are isolated cases where our system of free imports appears to act prejudicialJy, but these are the exceptions and here as elsewhere the exception proves the excellency of the rule. Reformer cites the case of the foreign doors." I would like tc point out that our imports of house frames, fittings and joinery work arc appreciably decreasing, and it is a remarkable fact that as thn imports of wood work decreases the un- employment in the building trades increases. I will giva you the figures for these imports and for the percentage of unemployment for two years. I could give the figures for the intervening years, but to save space let these two years suliiee 1899—Imports of wood-work, £ 1,445,425, per centage of unemployment, 1.5. 1907—Imports of wood-work, t233,501, per- centage of unemployment, 8 to 9. Tariff Reformers h;ive never explained how by taxing iiiiport? of building materials, thus mak- ing them dearer than they are now, they cm ever cure the disiheiination to build, which is latterly appareut and which to a large extent is merely the i,ezuit of reaction after the building boom of the end of the last decade w ith its over speculation and waste of capital. W ith reference to the paragraph dealing with pig iron, both America and Germany have certain natural advantages that give them a lead in this lespect. In the mines of Michigan and of Color- ado, America his an inexhaustibln supply of suitable ore, and by the introduction of modern method of making steel, Germany is able to use the native supply of iron ore. On the other hand we have to import our ore from Spain. But in spite of these advantages what are the facts- both the United States and Germany have to build up high protective walls to keep our iron goods out, and in spite of the fact that these walls are so high we manage to lift some of our iron goods over them and dump them on the Aiiieiicin market. I thiuk tl'at I have now dealt with the new ar- gumeats that Reformer has brought forward. The rest of the letter consists of arguments which I nnsweied in my last. Reformer agdn states that our food is already taxed to the extent of £ 52,000,000. I poitittd out in my last letter that he includes fhe excise duty, the tax on intoxica- ting drink, which amounts to over £ 31,000,000 in the above. We do tax certain articles of food, not for protection but for revenue purpose. We I shall not be satisfied until we have a free break- fast table. In England we tax eight articles of food. In Germany they tax over forty. Beef is so taxed that the common peyple have to eat horseflesh and dogs for nourishment. Is Reformer anxious to introduce a like condition of things into our country? I would like to ask Reformer," if he favours me by dealing with the figures that I give, that he would deal fair with them. In connection with the motor car argument, I quoted the figures of our imports and exports of motor cars for 1906 and 1907. "Reformer," in his reply, gives the figures of 1906 and ignores those of last year. I don't like to suggest that Reformer studiously ignores the figures for last year because they are less favourable to his case, and gives those of 1906 instead. I will give the figures again We im- ported motor cars iu 1907 to the value of E2,080,166. Our exports of cars amounted to £ 860,353. If you will take the trouble to com- pare these with the figures for the previous year you will tind thet there is an appreciable decrease in the number of cats imported. The Humber Motor Car Company have, only a few weeks ago, opened the laigest motor-car factory in the world at Coventry. It is evident that those engaged in this trade are full of hope. Reformer" would persuide people to his cause by saying that the ,itlty which will be imposed it Tariff Reform is adopted will be very stiiall-lo per cent on manu- factured article: and two shillings a quarter upon wheat. The German Tariff Reformers commenced in the same way. When Protection was adopted in Germany a tax of two shillings and two pence a quarter was put on whea;. What is it to-day ? I), is as Reformer stated, between eleven and twelve shillings a quarter. The Economist' on the 30th of November, 1907, pointed out that while the Berlin workman had to pay 6d for a Sib loaf of black bread, the London working man gets a lib loaf of white bread for 5id. The above speaks for itself. O^ice the system is adopted each of the protected industries will be clamouring for more protection so that their profits may be in- cre,is;e,i, and neither Reformer nor Mr Chimberlain will be able to tell where they will stop. The hod-groweis of Kent are calling upon the Government to impose a duty of 40s a quarter upon hops imported to this country. This agita- tion is only en example of what we would see in all trades under a system of protection. Heforlller" continues to hide in the shell of anonimity. Let him renounce his shyness and appear in his own name, I will then consider the challenge he makts He is asking too much when he asks me to run after the good Editor to make enquiries as to Reformer's identity. Others are interested iu the identity of Reform- er besides Yours truly, Fishguaid. D. P. DAVID.

Fifty Years Record Service. VALEDICTORY ADDRESS TO A FORMER FISHGUARD POLICE OFFICER Superintendent William Evans, formerly stationed at Fishguard from October, 1861, to February, 1880, retired from the Pem- stationed at Fishguard from October, 1861, to February, 1880, retired from the Pem- brokeshire Constabulary last Tuesday after fifty years, arduous and meritorious duties. On Monday afternoon the Pembroke Bench of magistrates, at a special sessions, presented the veteran Superintendent with a handsome- ly illuminated address setting forth their high appreciation of his Stirling worth and ability, his straightforward but merciful procedure as police prosecutor and his unvarying courtesy to the justices. The address was signed by the Mayor and twenty-four magistrates, in fact, by all the justices serving at the Petty Sessions of Pembroke and Pem- broke Dock, and was a beautiful specimen of art, being of a very large size framed in massive English gilt, and inset amid rich ornamentation of oak foliage with appropri- ate historical local scenes delightfully colour- ed. Highly complementary speeches were made by selected magistrates, chosen in the order of seniority, from the two towns, viz The Mayor (Councillor F S Reed), Aldermen McColl, Sketch and Hutchings, and by H D Reynolds W Willing and F Tombs, Esq., all testifying to the various excellent traits they had observed in Superintendent Evans' character. The magistrates clerk, J Thomas, Esq., the legal profession represented by T D Lowless, Esq. (Town Clerk), and F Merriman, also very warmly expressed their approbation of the splendid qualities Mr Evans possessed, his sound knowledge of the law, his gentle- manly persistency, his ready and grateful acknowledgment of assistance rendered, his kindness to the defendants when in poverty, and his persistent efforts to prevent rather than prosecute the criminally inclined. The meeting throughout was a unique one, and the speakers in bidding their official farewell were much moved, as Mr Evans was in his endeavours to reply. Not only from this Bench of magistrates, but also from the Tenby, Saundersfoot, and Xarberth Justices has Mr Evans received the expressions of keenest regret at the loss to the Courts, recalling to mind his brilliant services over a record period of half a century through- out the County, and earnestly hoping that he *11 IIN b will live many long years to enjoy his well- 0 1 earned rest and pension, conscious of the fact that lie is highly spoken of by all for the devotion, untiring energy and discretionary b zeal lie has given the work he loves so well. During the leisured afternoon of their life we hope to often see the ex-Super and Mrs Evans—who is a sister of Capt Howells,Main- street, Fishguard-among us. They may rest assured of a very hearty welcome from the older inhabitants who often talk of their old friends, remembering that they lived very happily amongst them for nearly twenty years.
