The Star is anxious to gather all the facts that go to show how the Tariff affects a people. There has been so much deception practiced by the Protectionists upon the people that we are always glad when we can find in books or newspapers industrial figures and evidences that go to establish the wisdom and truth of the Free Trade principle in contradistinction to the High Protective Principle.

We gave recently some very instructive figures drawn from the Canada Tariff. We were delighted when we found thathe New Eng land writers were egregiously erring in their statements, because hereto fore they had often twitted the Free Traders, as they are prone to call the Fair Traders, with, folly fa-voririg thefr 1 pet' theory when the Canadians had cut loose Eng lish economic ideas ind'had set up a Protective i lanltfi for, i themselves.

The Commercial JBuUeiin 'Bays i "It will be seen that the capital invested was four times as great in 1881 as in' 1879, while the increase in the materials, was' in much smaller proportions. If, now, 1 these facts under the new policy be translated into conditions of the old, the results will show the' loss that has been sustained both by the community and by the investors through the endanced cost of equipment, materials; etc. under the increase in the duties, which have, of course; inqreased the cost of about everything at home as well as or everything that is imported. 'y''; It then goes into a calculation that Is instructive.1 It shows how when the details are worked out that the experiment is financially ruinous.

It gives in tabular form the various calculations and therrsays: i old $8,500,000 "would have been represented by nearly 38,809,523 yards more of cloth, worth by 70,381 more spindles, 1,950 more looms and $1,154,000 more in wages. Here is an' annual loss in products, wages, spindles and looms, not very far short of the amount of additional capital In the item of wages the proportion of loss is enormous. Instead of $1,110,000, we should have 264,000. In view of the stress laid by the protectionists on the benefits of a high tariff to labor, this revelation 'is all the more striking. If we compare the amount of wages actually paid with the number of bands employed under tne two eras, the decrease wUl still be very large.

In 1879, there were 2,265 employes earning an average of $250 each per annum, while in 1882, the earnings Of 10,200 hands gave an average of only $109 to each, which shows an annual loss to the laborers of nearly half a million dollars. When there were but compara tively few operatives the- average wages were $250 reach per annum. Pnder the "bounty system the Lverasro has been but $109.
