HOW THE TARIFF WORKS,

The object of protective tariff is to en-
courage home industries and through this to
secure reduced prices by competition between
domestic manufacturers. How well the plan
works may be seen in the glass industry of
this country. In 1850 there were employed
in making glass but 5, 668 laborers, with cap
ital of but So, 400, 900. The wages paid that
year amounted to So, 094, 900; the raw material
used was valued at s., $3.50, 900, and the manu-
featured product at 81, 641, 900. Compared
with these, the figures for 1880 are significant
In the latter year the number Of men en-
ployed had risen to "a, IT. an increase Of
nearly 500 per cent. Wages rose in the same
ratio to SO, IA, OOO The capital invested had
increased to $40, 844 900, or over 900 per cent.
The value of material used was So, 028, 900,
and of the product $21. 154, 900. The figures
taken from the last federal census reports
make the following showing:

THE st. Louis Post-Dispatch suggests that
business men try the experiment of employing
women as cashiers and confidential clerks, in
view of the long list of defalcations and en-
bezzlements among male employees. Women
are not exposed to the temptations of young
men, "They do not smoke and drink, and
haunt billiard-rooms. They do not spend
money on hack rides and on frail companions
They do not know how to bet; they have no
chance to gamble" 1t is not an idle sugges-
ton, that our fast young men may succeed in
turning themselves out of service, and thus
open new and profitable avenues to self-re-
specting and capable women.

1t will be seen from this table that wages in
America are in every instance higher than in
any other country the difference in favor of
American workmen ranging from 100 TO 27O
per cent. The plate-glas business after
years of precarious existence, during which
hundreds of thousands of dollars were sunk,
has begun to pay, and since 1879 capital thus
invested has begun to realize small return
But instead of increasing the price of plate
glass the tariff has enabled home manufactur-
ers to so build up their business as to make
and sell plate-gass at a discount of 80 per
cent. from what it commanded before foreign
manufacturers had American competition
Briefly then, through the operation of the
tariff we now have nearly 25,0 men en-
ployed, and have the price of glass at about
one-half what it was under the old way.
Nor is this all. The competition of the
American manufacturers of glass has reduced
the price of window-g glass abroad from .053
per pound to .031 per pound in eleven years,
so that the same specific duty which in 1873
produced an equivalent ad valorem duty Of IS
per cent, now produces an ad valorem equiva-
lent of " per cent, and this reduction of for
eign cost has been regular and continuous
during the whole period; so that both foreign
costs and American prices have declined 40
per cent, which establishes the fact that the
foreign manufacturer, and not the American
consumer, pays the duty

In 1880 there were in the United States

In 1880 there were in the United States
5 works making plate-glass, 1l8 for making
window-glass, 70 for producing glassware,
and 100 furnaces for producing green glass.
The comparison, so far as increase of business
is concerned, is satisfactory enough, and the
protective tariff is evidently accomplishing
all that was promised or expected by its
friends and those who have stood by the prin-
ciple of protection
A comparison of wages paid in America and
in other countries will prove equally favorable
to the American idea. In the manufacture of
widow glass American workmen are paid as
follows: Blowers, $50 week; teasers $15;
fatteners, $24; layers, $40; mixers, $40, and
laborers 81. In the manufacture of green
glass the various kinds of blowers average
from sol to $50 week, and the laborers 81.
Miscellaneous glassware pressers make $21 a
week; fnishers, $21; gathering boys and stick
ers-up, rs cents to So day; carrying boys, 60
cents day; blowers, $21 a week; cutters,
$3.50; mold-makers, $18; mixers $1,000, and
teasers $12.
The following table, furnished by Mr.. W.
c. DePauw, of the plate-glass works at New
Albany, presents the relative wages paid in
that kind of manufacture in America and in
the European mills of the same class, the
