Mr.. David A. Wells, United States special
commissioner of revenue, has Published .
mastery reply to the attacks Of Congressman
Kelley, Horace Greeley and others, on his re-
port in relation to work and wages, capital and
labor, before and since the war. With pro-
voking calmness of persistency he meets the
mingled rage and ignorance Of his assailants
by reasserting all the conclusions Of the Of
fetal document, and bringing to their support
an array of facts which defy contradiction OF
cavil. He makes it perfectly plain that within
the last eight years the cost of living in all
essential particulars has steadily gone up.
while the wages of the working classes have
as steadily declined. He shows that, during
the sameperiod, though the aggregate wealth
of the country has increased indeed,
the diffusion Of it among the masses has been
less and less, so that, as the rich have been
growing richer the poor have been growing
proportionately poorer. His facts and figures
prove that the prices of all home products
have been SO advanced that exchange in kind
has become nearly impossible, thus restrict
ing the employment of shipping and render
ing the continued export of gold and obliga-
tons of indebtedness indispensable, and,
finally, that "under the plea Of protection to
American industry, special and onerous taxes
have been levied on certain articles that re-
CURED no protection, to the resulting profit Of
the few but to the detriment of the many.
The increased perplexity and veration which
this clinching vindication, following the origin
al expose, infiicts upon the Kelleys, the Careys
the Greeleys and the other uncompromising
and uncomfortable advocates of monopoly
and protection, are by no means mitigated by
the frank confession of Senator Sprague, in
one of his recent speeches, that his own pros
perity, as a large manufacturer, during the
last few years. was attained "only by crush
ing out all smaller competitors" Even more
pointedly than Mr.. Wells, the Rhode Island
senator, speaking from his experincs in the
business of manufacturing, asserts that the
exceptional success of few great and wealthy |
is simply mark of the gene
al decay of industry, of the general shrink |
ige and languor of enterprise, and of the |
general spread and aggravation of poverty |
'mong the masses. Yet, in spite of all this |
testimony, the policy which has produced this
condition Of things is still in the ascendant,
md nothing but an overwhelming demonstra-
ion Of popular revolt against it will induce q
congress composed mainly of corruptionists
md tricksters and intent only on personal gain
Or party aggrandizement to abandonit.
