proportions. II appears that the men
earn only about l form 20 kreutZer per

Austria is one OF the most i'highly pro-
tected'' countries in Europe, yet the bak-
ers there are paid about one-ffth as much
as the bakers OF free trade England. If
this is a result Of protection to ''home in
dustry'' the tradespeople Of the United

Is. no labor was ever made more profitable
