4 QUESTION FOR UORhERS.

In The city Of Brooklyn, according to the
census of 1850, there were AZ, 1897 persons en-
ployed in manufacturing establishments.
They received as wages yearly go, 49, 157.
In Jersey City, according to the same census,
there were employed in manufacturing lbs
persons, who received in wages yearly
$4,622, 655. Thus in the two cities there
were employed in manufactures about $4,000
persons, whose wages amounted to about
$27,1O0,O0O. According to the Masssachu-
sets Labor Report, the average wages paid in
manufactures in this country are 81 per cent
higher than In Great Britain. Hence, if the
$4,000 persons in Brooklyn and Jersey City
had received British wages instead of American
wages, they would have c,ived for a year
GIG, 700, 900. 1t appears then, that the prac
teal effect of the protective system has been to
give $1,000, 900 more to the manufacturing
workers of these two cities than they would
receive at the British rate of wages.
Beside these persons, there were employed
So. 900 persons in Brooklyn in personal and
professional service, and 10000 persons In
trade and in transportation. In Jersey City
10000 were employed in personal and pro-
fessional service and ~, 900 In trade and trans
portatiOn. Thus. in the two cities 14O.OO0

PElfOY1L TILE REST REMEDY.

A high ccclcsasAic has just gone to Ottawa to
solicit Government help for the fishermen on
the Labrador coast, who are threatened with
famine. There are about four thousand people
in the region concerned, and they are almost
wholly dependent upon the fishery, which,
however is always uncertain This year the
presence of ice on the coast until very late III
fine season has destroyed the fishing prospects
completely, and now these poor people are con-
frontcd by the winter on one of the most IN
clement coasts in the world, without provisions
or the means of obtaining any. Many, it is re-
ported have already been compelled to sell
their nets and boats, so that even II they could
get through the winter, they would not he able
to help themselves next season. But the
Dominion Government. if it is wise, VIII not
prolong an intolcrablc state OF things by doing
out help to these fishermen The c0mmon-Scnsc
of the situation is on the surface. They have
made an experiment, and have failed. They
thought they could earn Il living of the coast OF
Labrador. and they have discovered that II can
not be done. The plain fact is that the region
is not adapted for human habitation. II Is I'M
possible to raise any cereals there Everything
depends upon the fishing, and there is never
any certainty about that.
There il. however, no reason why the four
Thousand victims of Labrador lee and storms
should he doomed to waste all their energies
upon that nhospitabc shore. The Dominion
territory embraces many millions OF acres oil
fertile land which has never yet been turned
over by the plough. There is room enough yet
i'm the great Saskatchewan Valley for all these
toil-woIn and iamlshcd fishermen, and they
need not then be dependent upon stormy
ocean for their subsistence. In a dozen dlrec-
tons moreover, there is plenty of room. ana II
the Dominion should fail, the United states
would extend hearty welcome to these in
dustri0Us, steady, hardy men and their families.
II is pity that so much good material should be
literally thrown away upon the comiortcss
Labrador coast that 50 many lives should be
made q ccasclcss struggle against starvation;
when so large part of the carh'S surface still
calls for occupation and tillage, and when
there are scores of places where these people
could acquire competence and live pleasantly,
with every rational want supplied. at the eN-
pcndture of 1.-THE OF the cXcrtons now re-
qurcd to keep the wolf from their doors. The
Dominion Government should remove them
from Labrador in their own interest. for 1t Is
clear that they cannot make living there.

norsons were earning wages which were affected
by the wages secured to workers III manu-
featuring industries. Had the $4,000 persons
ep,nloyed IN manufactures rccel"cd Dri'iSh
instead of an American average OF wages,
largo proportion of them wOud have Sought
cmnlovment as domestic servants, or IA cletAs,
or loborcrs. thus comp, ing with those en-
ploycd in the other departments named. AS an
unavoidable. consequence the wages for pro-
fcssional or personal service or trade and trans
portation, would have been depressed nearly W
the level of the wages In manufacturing es'ap-
lishments. These 10000 persons, IL may DC
estimated, received about T64,4Oo,ooC III
wages Assuming that the average III these
cmpovments was also CO per cent higher iiiti
the British average, it appears that they woulu
have received at the British rate about
$40. 600. 900 yearly. Hence these persons
gained by reason of the protective policy, about
sol. 400. 600 yearly, and the entire gam 10
wage earners in the two cities was about
$34, 100000
II is expected by many that the working peo-
plc in these two cities will cast heavy ma
jority in favor OF the Democratic party, YET
they ought to know that the policy OF That
party for more than forty years has Deen III
favor of free trade and has tended to establish
in this country a British level of wages Tor
labor. Only last winter having majority III
the House. the Democrats endcavored TO reduce
the tariff onc.ffth on nearly all manufactured
products, believing with reason that such a re-
duction would suffice to break down the IN
dustries which depend upon the protective sys-
fem. and thus to break down the political OPP
position to the policy of the Democratic party
rendering lis victory hereafter more easy IL
