If protection by a tariff is such I. xood

If protection by a tariff is such a good
thing tor the industries of the country
why not double the tariff at once? Does
any n suppose that. this course would
double the wages OF operatives 2 Of
course not. 1t would not add one cent
to their remuneration. Nor does pro-
lection now. When the manufacturer
completes with foreign goods,as he does,
he accsmplishes it by putting his scale
of wages low enough to enable him to
produce the goods as chsaply or more
chsaply than his competitor. Our cot.

urers now boast that they a success

English cities, under the very noses OF

plsyes, If you vote for a tariff for rev
enus you will put your wages down to
those of the paupsr labor Of Europe,
ln the first pace, manufacturing oper-
atives in Europe are not paupsrs.In many

they love their employees that the manu-
lecturers pay them more than there.
but it is because American inventive
genius has enabled them to manufacture
more goods with tho same number of
hands. What the manufacturer likes
about the protective tariff 10 not that 1t
helps his men to earn big wages, but
that it helps him to appropriate inordi-
natsly large profits. Let this be we'll
