In other words, says the Louisville COur-
iey-J0urTsdl, out of every one hundred, forty
four laborers are farmers, twenty-four are
in professional or personal service, ten are
in trade and transportation, six are In min
ing and engineering and sixteen in manu-
| featuring. All miners and engineers are
not protected, and protection can not extend
! TO the farmers, lawyers, servants and men
| engaged in trade and transportation. So
| under the tariff eighty men ont of the hun
| dred are taxed TO increase the wages Of
/ twenty. Could any more effective way be
| devised for forcing the American laborers
to the European level than an unnecessary
and inequitable tax on eighty per cent Of
our wage earnersl
| But, insist the protectionists, the tariff in
/ crease5 wages. The tariff increases moth
! ing; it simply forces divide.
! Take for instance hundred men, engaged
/ in the various vacations Of life. Without
the interference of the tariff each would
earn about the same, say 81 per day. There
would then be 800 as fund 10 be divided,
and it would go as follows:
Farmer. ia 90

Manufacturer. .'.' -.---.-'''.--. 10 W

! But the tariff comes in and says the farm
er, the lawyer, the housekeeper, the cook,
| merchant, the brakeman and certain manu-
| facturers must put aside portion Of what
/ they have earned 10 increase the wages OF
men employed in the factories. This does
not increase the sum total; only 300 Is to
/ be had. No law can make this sum greater,
| so the division takes place after this fash

Thus we see Mr.. Blaine's plan for keeping
up the standard Of American wages is to
take money from one class and give it to
another.
Mr.. Cleveland's plan is to remove all IN
necessary obstacles TO cheaper machinery
and raw material and to increase wages by
extending our markets, getting more Gus
toners for our goods and stopping all I'M
necessary taxation.
IL Is not strange so astute politician as
Ir. Blaine hesitates to meet Mr.. Cleveland
IN contest before the people on sucn an
issue.
