he goes out into the market and EN-.
ploys his labor at the market value
and pays the same price that the
humblest citizen in New York does.
High tariff does not regulate
wages. Wages are regulated by de
mand and supply, and the capacity OF
the laborer to do the work for which
ne is employed. If high tariff reg
ulated wages how is it the wages in
the different states Of the Union are
different, while the tariff is all the
same from Maine to California? In
every part of the territory Of the
United States the tariff is the same
How is it the wages are not the same:
How is it that wages i'll different To-
calities of the different states are differ
ent? What is the cause? What is il
which disturbs the tariff and prevent
it from fixing high rate of wages all
over the country for labor?"
The reduction of Federal taxation
means increased instead OF reduced
wages.

GENUINE PROTECTION.

The only passport which the high
takers have to popularity is the base
less claim that their policy Of spoil
alton benefits workingmen by increas-
ing wages. \ correspondent who ev-
identity believes in protection that
protects, and not in the sham article,
contributes the following to The Dem
ocrat:
1.-The way to resume is to resume"
was the simple but successful solution
of the financial problem adopted by
our national tinanciers when they de-
termined to solve the task before
them. AnalOgically-the way to pro-
tect labor is to protect labor BY the
term protection as used politically,
is meant, literally, to diminish if not
exclude competition by impoSt duty.
TO accomplish that point it then only
remains to impose duty upon labor
coming to this country as is resorted
to for the purpose of restricting the
importation Of other articles. To es-
innate the cash value of the labor
brought over, or represented by an en-
igrant, is no more difficult to calcll-
late than on numerous articles that
daily pass the custom house. The
statutes place the maximum value of
a human being in the matter of dam
ages for his death caused by rail
road or other corporation at $1,000.
while thp gIhlnnnt TpgnrlaI
probably does not exceed a third of
that amount. In ante-War times an
able-bOdied male slave, notWithStand-
ing the liability of escape Ga constant
menace to such property was $1,000
to $1,000. BY comparing his wages
with those OF wage earning domestic
animals, and estimating the difference
in the length of life, 81 900 would be
Il very low figure for the labor of the
average man. Then would not the
republican party's professed friendship
for the laborer have been unquestion-
ably sincere had they included in their
platform the following plank?
Whereas, the manufacturer has
during our administration secured the
protection afforded by an average of
II per cent. tariff imposed upon all
foreign competitors, and whereas,
during which time, the laborer, his
employe, has received no protection at
our hands, whatever; therefore, be it |
resolved that we are in favor of i'm !
posing a like AZ per cent tariff upon
foreign labor passing through our
ports, at an estimated value of 81 900 !
for each able bodied individual, making
Il tax at the rate of $470 per head, |
graded down according to sex and |
age. And kneeling, we humbly ask |
the pardon or the American laborer |
for our not attending to this matter
before, pledging that hereafter it shall
in our attention be placed beside that
noble precept, "civil servic reform"
But they didn't do it by large
majority.

local and general politics he has been

OF political questions in their undis-
tortcd form. He believes that men

The idea prevails to 4 great extent
that a reduction of tariff taxes must
needs lower the nominal rate of wages.
even if the relative value of the same
paid should remain the same. This
assumption is utterly false. The fed
eral taxes are paid out of the pro
cecdS of labor, and there is absolutely
no reason why 4 reduction of taxes
would reduce wages. But there are
many good reasons why reduction of
taxation would not only increase the
relative value of wages bat the actual
amount paid for labor in dollars and
cents The first step necessary to
bring about industrial prosperity is t.
relieve trade of unnecessary burdens.
And industrial prosperity can alonR
advance the rate of wages The
claim that high taritt taxation makes
high wages has been stuck to SO per
sistently by interested protectionists
for the past twenty-five wears that
many honest, simple hearted citizens
have come to believe it. But much of
the tariff discussion of the present
time is of 4 practical nature, and be
fore it such decisions must quickly
dissolve BY presenting a few COM
mon facts Of every day life congress
man Mills explodes as follows the
claim that high Sea-hoard taxes make
high wages:
:. 1t is said high tariff makes high
wages for labor. 1t is said if we re-
duce the tariff, wages must be reduced.
How is it high tariff makes high wages
for labor? How can it be explained!
Why, they say, as matter of course,
if YOU increase the value of the do
nestle product, the manufacturer is
able to pay higher wages. CnqueStion-
ably he is, but does he do it? No.
Mr.. Jay Gould. with his immense in
come from his railroad property, is
able to pay his bootblack $500 a day;
but does he do it? Oh no; he paws
the market price of the street. He
gets his boots BACKED and pays his
nickle like little man. Laughter
Mr.. Vanderbilt, from the income
arising from the interest of the i'm.
mense amount of bonds of the Fed.
eral Government he has got, can afford
TO pay his hostler $4,000 year. He
is able to do it; his bonds enable him
to do it; but does he do it? Oh, no

The New York Daily Graphic has
made a bold and wise stroke in secur-
ing the services Of Thomas Mast, the
most wonderful cartoon artist of his
day. This great sketcher will find
plenty of material for his ready pen in
picturing fer the wide circle of readers
of The Graphic the important ques-
tions before the people during the
present campaign.
The examples of NaSt's work that
have thus far appeared in The Graphic
show that he has lost none of the old
time vigor and aptneSs in outlining
the events which he attempts to
picture.
The services of SO conscientious a
man as Mast, who only allows his pen
to follow the dictates of his Judgment
will prove 4 valuable acquisition fer
the Democracy of the country. We
are informed that all of NaSt's work
for The Daily Graphic will be pub
lished in The Weekly Graphic. The
subscription price of The Weekly
Graphic is $3.50 per year; and no one

This government is now collecting
from the people in taxes every year
from sixty to seventy million dollars
more than it can possibly spend. 1t
has $50 millions Of money in the
treasury taken from the people which
it has no more use for than a horse has
for five legs. The republican policy is
70 keep on accumlating that useless
surplus and keep up the unnecessary

SHALL WE ROB ONE ANOTHER2
Then We Must DO Away with High Tariff
Taxation

Every patriotic American will join with
Mr.. Blaine i'll a protest against lowering the
standard of wages in America
Mr.. Cleveland's message was an earnest
argument against adherng to war taxation
in times of peace, BECAUSE as he showed,
this taxation fell most heavily upon the
wOrling-men, and forced them down little
by little TO the European level, which little
by little is being advanced.
Tariff is taxation. 1t is the taking away
from the laborer portion of his rewards.
1t reduces, it does not increase his com
forts, the power to satisfy the wants of his
family, or the amount of money he Is put
ting by for a rainy day.
Taxation may not fall on all alike; when
it takes from one class and exempts an
other it is gross piece Of injustice
The war tariff does more than this; it
takes from one TO give TO another.
The laboring population Of the United
States in 1880 was II, 1872 O99, divided as fol
