IL nr. Dawes asked Wnether Mr.. Cox wanted
others to have their books published in Eng
land?
MI COX SAD ne dld not, but would let the
poor author go anywhere he choose to have his
book printed. AS to the question of COMPETE
ton with cheap labor, he reminded Mr.. Dawes

with our own enlightened Christian labor.
Mr. Banks said what he wanted to know was
what was the lowest rate at which paper might

Mr.. Dawes regretted his allusion to Leslie.
he thought 1t strange that he should want to

Illustrated newspapers bought their paper here.
1t was unfortunate that such condition of
things existed that Americans could go abroad
and employ the labor of Belgium at Is cents
day, with bleaching powders free of duty, with
soda free OF duty and with an export duty on
rags: He could no understand how American
sentiment in a mans breast slept under such
circumstances.

Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, referring to the
increased prosperity of American labor, illus
trated 1t by showing that in one of the large
wooden manufactures at Lowell, Mass, with
which he was familiar, the relative cost of labor
to production was from fifteen to twenty years
ago Ia per cent, and is now 10 per cent He
dld not claim, however, that the tariff system
had produced that improvement. There were
other causes at work which were generally over
looked.
