men in Belleville, this state, on the
labor question, has written the following
on the protective tariff, which he sent to
the St. Louis Republican for publication,
and which appeared in recent issue of
that journal:
The Republican papers have for long
time, in every issue, declared and averred
that the wages of labor constituted nine
tenths of the cost of production. Some~
tunes the assertion is that eight or nine
tenths of this costs is paid to the l@borer,
but generally nine-tenths is set down as
his share as actually received by him from
his manufacturing employer. The pro-
tective duty on steel is 100 per cent.
