Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from If We Would Perpetuate the Republic We Must Defend and Protect the Interests of Its Laborers: Speech of Hon. William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, in the House of Representatives, Tuesday April 15, 1884 The House being in Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, and having under consideration the bill (H.R.5893) to reduce import duties and war-tariff taxes - Mr. Kelley said: Mr. Chairman: In obedience to the suggestion of friends I am to follow the distinguished chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, whose remarks, however, I dot propose to discuss in details. The premises I shall assume and the general scope of my argument will, I think, be regarded as making a clear issue between us on the grave questions he raised by proposing a bill providing for a general reduction of our custom duties. I do not believe that a cheapening of goods, which involves a reduction of wages, can relieve any stagnant American industry. The evil from which we are suffering is not that goods are not cheap enough or that we can not produce them in sufficient abundance and of satisfactory quality. The truth is - and the sooner American lawmakers shall accept it as a controlling consideration the better it will be for the country - that the power of production the world over has, upon the prevailing basis of the distribution of the joint production of labor and capital, outrun the power of consumption; that all maker are over-stocked; and that in every land multitudes of skilled and industrious people have, from many proximate but secondary causes, been idle for a large portion of many recent years.
