Protection and wages.

Social, political and intellectual lib
erty are the main productive forces of
any people. IN such a condition of
things each individual citizen is the
equal of others rs to opportunity, aud
hence has personal interest that in
duces to activity and enterprise. With
liberty and under a just government
there is greater prosperity and greater
abundance. History establishes Il il.
The little Republics of ancient Greece;
the republic of Rome, and compari-
son of modern nations prove it con-
clusively.
France never made such strides in
progress-never exhibited such power,
as when the French became q free
people. They drove back the armies
of the combined despots of Europe il
1892 and 1893,
One Of the fallacies of the protec-
tionist is that protection gives higher
wages. Workingmen should remem-
ber that they are not protected, for
workmen from Canada and all Europe
have right to come and do come to
compete with them. 1t is, then, the
capitalist only who has monopoiy-not
the laborer. Do not forget this.
Wages in free trace England are 81
to 100 per cent higher than IN other
countries in Europe, although these
others all have protective tariffs. In
England wages are FIVE times higher
than in India and supplies India with
goods and in the markets of the world
beats all other nations. Let our mon
opolists meet these facts.
Again, in cotton and grain this
country beats India, Egypt and Russia
with all their cheap labor, and our
farmers ask no bounties nor protection,
though their cotton aud grain pay
hundreds of millions yearly to "pro-
tectu our home manufactures. Pro-
tectionists attempt no explanation of
these facts. Let honest citizens con-
sider.-T Stark Co. Democrat.

1916 and 1882.

In 1916 one bushel of corn would
buy one pound of nails. In 1862 one
bushel of corn would buy fifteen lbs.
of nails.

dozen of eggs to buy one bushel of salt.
In 1882 two dozen eggs would do the
same thing.

Representative Locke remarked:
muIating Ind ustry.

Capitalistic teachers say competi-
ton is IA proper stimulant to industry"
Yet it can be shown capital takes more
than four fiftlls labor produces in the
varied forms Of usury, profit and rent.
Why not be consistent and say !" if
industry is stimulated by taking four
tifths of what it earns, then stimulate
it more by taking the other fifth.
Such reasoning would say: If sick
patient needs stimulant, bleed him" !"
at least four-fifths of his supply of
blood" Such nonsense. Rather let
us say if labor will exert itself for one
fifth it's product, then to stimulate it
give it the other four-fifths. 1t will
then be stimulated as it ought to be,
besides having justice done it. Dis
yuise it as we may, the question of the
hour is: "Shall labor have what it
earns ?'' Justice says yes; Greed says
no.-[Ex.
