WHY WAGES ARE HIGH.

The fact that workmen receive higher wages here than in Europe because they earn more has been pretty well established by such authorities as Consul Schoenhof, Secretary of State Evarts and MT Blaine. These men know that high tariff does not make high wages, but that in the words of MT Blaine undoubtedly the inequalities in the wages of English and American operatives are more than capitalized by the greater efficiency of the latter and their longer hours of labor. The latest one to present this fact is Professor Taussig of Harvard, who in explaining the inequal- ities of wages i'll the October Forum said ::
 The great reason why wages are small in India and China, higher but slim in a country like Germany, comparatively high in England and highest ill the United States, is to be found in varying product iveness of labor in these countries. Beyond doubt this is the fundamental explanation of the differences that prevail in the various parts of tho world in the money wages of the laborers, as well in the commodities which they buy with the money, and wh oh are their real wages. The workman is paid more, but he also produces more. The product sells for more than the product elsewhere, and the em- ployer is able to pay higher money wages. Not only is he able to do so, but he must, for the thousands of employees desire to engage ill business, and compete with each other for laborers, and the result must be that wages will be high in some proportion to the productiveness of the laborers.
 The productiveness of labor is greatest in the United States, and as consequence the highest wages are paid to our work men. Mulhall makes the productivity of American labor per cent higher than the English Secretary Frelinghuysen also in a report which he made on English and American factory labor, showed tha, labor cost less here, owing to its greater capac | ity for production, than in Europe. The same testimony is borue by Consul Shaw and Consul Schornhof The most carefu economic students accept the judgment ot these men as the best explanation for the difference of wages paid in this country and in Europe.
 American labor will always receive gooG wages because it is of superior productive capacity But it will never be paid more than it earns even though the tariff were as high as the moon. The demand fo1 labor and it's supply, and its earning capacity, will always fix the rate of it: compensation. The tariff has nothing tC do with that

takes occasion to declare himself in favor of free wool as the best policy for Amerl- can manufacturers So far from necessi- tating lower wages, MT Metcalf holds that the passage of the Mills bill would ln- crease the wages of the operatives in woolen and worsted mills as result of the in creased production of goods and consequent increased demand for their services. The immediate re- suit of such an economic change, he says, would be the building of a new mill by his company to keep pace with the enlarged production.
 Last year over $44,0O0,000 worth of woolen goods were imported into this country, which with no tax on raw wool could and would have been made in this country. Foreign wool, which has to be mixed with the domestic article, is made so excess ively dear by the tariff tax that it is cheaper to import the manufactured arti- cles than the raw wool of which they are made. This is playing directly into the hands of the foreign manufacturer, as was realized by President Grant when he recommended in his annual message of December, 1874, tine free admission of raw wool. If the tax were taken off wool we would import the raw article and man. ufacture the finished products which we now import so largely each year. This would create a demand for labor and bet ter wages. Cheaper wool cheaper woolens, cheaper woolens larger markets, larger markets more product, more product greater employment, greater employment larger pay"
 Many of the most entnrprising, success full and prosperous wooden manufacturers understand the benefits of free raw wool, and favor the bill which places it on the free list. A few of the largest and best known woolen manufacturers in New England who are in favor of free raw wool are given herewith
 CHARLES D. OWEN of the Atlantic mills, Providence, R. l., manufacturer of worst ed goods for women's wear.
 Jesse Metcalf of the Wanskuck company, Providence, R. l., manufacturer of worsted for mems wear.
 Walter Aiken, Franklin Falls, N. H., manufacturer of hosiery.
 Gen Eben Sutton, North Andover, Mass. manufacturer of t1annels and dress goods
 Moses T. Stevens, North Andover, Mass. manufacturer of fiannels and dress goods the largest individual manufacturer ir New England, having ffty-two sets ot machinery.
 Robert Bleakie, Hyde Park, Mass, manu 1 facturer of cassimeres.
 c. c. Moses, of the Worumbo Manufac turing company, Lisbon, Me, manufac turer of beavers and overcoatings
 Henry Colony of the Cheshire mills Keene, N. H., manufacturer of hannels
 The late Rowland G. Hazard and hi successors, of Peacedale R. l., manufac turers of worsteds
 Arthur T. Lyman. of the Lowell Carpe company, manufacturer of carpets.
 These men are not likely to favor a pol icy that will be detrimental to their in terests. They realize that free raw woo will enable them to enlarge their produc ton, pay better wages, secure a wide market and reap greater profits to them selves The policy of free raw wool grow in favor with all as it is better understood

SYMPATHY WITH THE MASSES.

''Such rich men as Andrew Carnegie never lose their sympathy with the masses,' we are told by an exchange. Well, here is richness Andrew showed that he was truly sympathetic when he wrung $1 ,5O0,- 900 last year out of his "slaves in the mines" and then cut them down 10 per cent in their wages. He is truly sympa- thyetic when he ''talks frankly" in defence oftrusts, but such sympathy fortunately will carry it's own meaning to the masses. Truly sympathetic, too, when he imported pau per contract labor to fill the places that should and ought to be filled by men who are in sympathy.with our institutions and have made this country their home of their own volition. Oh, yes, such men as An drew Carnegie "never lose their sympathy with the masses' so long as they can traf fic in their flesh and grind dollars out of their bones.

WAGES IN WOOLEN MILLS.

Hon Jesse Metcalf, the president of the "anskuck company of Providence, is a practical man and successful manufac- turer, and his opinion of the benefits of free wool is naturally entitled to consider atlon. A report was recently put in circu- Iatlon that MT Metcalf, in conversation with prominent republican manufacturer, stated that If the Mills bill passed he ex- pected to reduce the wages of his employees. Mr Metcalf, in letter to the Boston Herald, pronounces the report campaign lie, and

PIC IRON" KELLEY, the great Ameri- can protectionist, was not prevented two years ago from giving expression to his honest views about wool. Here is what he said at that time Let the raw material come in. Let us make blankets that will drive out English blankets. Let us make our own English frieze' and 'Peterboro frosted beaver Let us be able to rival England and France and other representative nations in making their cloths" This is election time. He prob ably thinks differently now.

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin. Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of q manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Call and examine stock.
