In all this the operative gets no protec-

the sophistica1 advocates of a prohibitory
tariff that the tariff was designed solely
to give him permanent work and perma-
nently good wages. The operative finds
that this is a falsehood; that protection is
designed only to protect his employer
from competition and the risks of bust
ness; that when one class of manufactur-
ers are protected another class clamors
for and gets protection to indemnify it
against competition; that If one manufact-
ure is protected higher rate of protection
is necessitated on the next form of manu-
facture into which the first commodity en-

MIR. Corrou ID. Wrigh, Of the Massa-
chusetts Bureau of Labor and Statistics, in
his recent report, gives some interesting
facts about labor hours and compensation
in New England. Mr.. Frye, in his recent
speech, declared that the working people
of New England are the best paid and the
happiest mortals in the world Mr..
Wright, who is careful statistician does
not sustain this statement of Mr. Frye any
more than did writer in a recent number
of the Atlantic Monthly, the leading
periodical of New Finland.
In the mills or Maine men are paid 81 so
week, and women get only So 3d. while
the little children receive from So % to
% 40, in the wooden mills which pay the
largest wages. One of the paper mills in
Maine pay men SO SO week and women
80 90, working seventy-two hours q week
In New Hampshire the wages are much
lower than those paid in Maine, and the
operatives are required to work xsixty six
hours in the week. In Rhode Island
the wages are little higher, with sixty
six hours of week during the week
In Connecticut operatives work ninety
hoatq's aceek-tifteen hours day, for six
days-and the wages are SO for men, 81 80
for women, $40 for male children and
$3.50 for female children, The highest
spinners' wages are SO. In Massachusetts
from sixty three to sixty-six hours of labor
a week is exacted, and spinners only get
Sl.oo day; the lightest class of labor in
the mills not exceeding 80 to $12 for the
men.
The statistican remarks that ''long hours
and poorly-paid labor tend to brutalize'
and as he shows that one manufacturing
town in Massachusetts supports 400 rum
holes it looks as if the long hours and poor
wages system drives men and women to
the flowing bowl"
We submit that these few Figures and
facts we have cited do not sustain Dir.
Frye and his bretheren in their statements
as to the unalloyed felicity of the New
England operative. Neither do they
sustain the repeated reservations of
the Protectionists that the American

In reference to 'the Star Route in poll
tics" the Chicago Inter Ocean gets off the
following:
The only criticism Of the Presidents
course from Republican standpoint comes
from those who believe that the exposure,
coming at this time, win have bad in
fluence in the Ohio campaign this fall, and
that the Democratic managers, by making
a free use of the facts brought out by the
Republican papers, may secure the defeat
of the Republican ticket in that State"
The interesting conundrum now is, how
many Republicans are there, who prefer
the ascendency of the party to honesty In
the government? 1t has been the expert,
ence of the country formerly that there
were good many. Let US hope that the
number has decreased.
