We find by the report of Mr. Nimmo for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1883. that the total value of the exports of domestic merchandise was $804.223.632. and that of this sum $619.269.449 were the products of agriculture. being 77 per cent. of the entire exports coming directly in competition with the pauper labor of Russia and (if India. where wages were only a few cents a day. What resulting benefits do the farmer laborers of America receive from a protective tariff? None. for the inexorable law of supply and demand. not a protective tariff. fixes the price of labor and of the products of agriculture.
