The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1885-04-14

For a while the combined marufac-
turers of quinine in this country and
Europe were enabled to keep up prices
in this country Notwithstanding the
repeal of the tariff duties. Last year
the price opened at s1.75 per ounce,
but under the weight of increasing
stores of bark and enlarged manufac-
turing operations fell off to 50 cents
per ounce. Now this is better than
quinine at s2.65 per ounce FIVE years
ago. The reduced price justifes the
action of congress in abOlishing the
duty, and vindicates the expectations
of the friends of tariff reform in the
of an odorous monopoly.
1t is bad enough to have the ague,
without being made to pay two prices

Notwithstanding the numberless
strikes within the past six months,
and the tide ofpublic sympathy which
has set against the employer who re-
duces the wages of his employees be-
low living rates, there are new instanc
es arising every day, and more details
being unesrthed of the peculiar meth
cd by which large manufacturing es-
ADJUSTMENTS grow rich. The public
at large know nothing of these meth
DDS until strike is announced among
the undergrad employees, and then
there is an expose which very seldom
reflects much ere lit on the employer.
1t would seem that since the revival
of trade has begun ali over the coun-
try, and better outlook for the sum-
mer is in prospective, than even the
most sanguine had reason to hope for.
that all necessity for a reduction of
wages is past, and that old rates
should be resumed, rather than have
strikes and their attendant evils, jus,
when the prize is to the swift. The
latest strike occurred in st. Louis,
where fifty girls belonging TO the spin
ming department of the Southern Bay
ging factory, followed In the wake of
the striking knitters, and quit work
until something like living wages will
be paid them. 1t is a new departure
for girls to strike, but since they have
begun it, albeit with no great success.
they will continue it until at last en-
ployers will be compelled to pay them
at least enough wa2es to keep them
out of the street, and Ia this they will
have the sympathy of all right-minded
people.
