not produce. the purchasing power of
their wages is diminished, and thus
protection reduces their wages by just |
SO much as the tariff increases the
prices OF the articles they buy.
Is it the tariff which determines the
rate OF wages in the protected in
dustrics? If so, the rate of wages In
such an industry will be substantially
the same wherever the industry is pur- |
sued. But the labor statistics show
that so to 60, and in some instances
100, per cent. higher wages are paid
for labor in the same protected occu-
pations In different parts of the coun-
try. In 1880 wOol-weayerS were paid
66 per cent more in Delaware than in
Michigan, and log per cent. more in
Utah than in Illinois. Similar differ
ences are shown in the official sta
tistics But they would be impossible
If the tariff regulated the rate OF
wages. Again, the greatest difference
in the rate of wages paid in this coun-
try and in Europe is in the occupations
which are not protected and can not
be protected by tariff. Moreover,
the rate Of wages paid in the unpro-
tected industries here is larger than
that paid in the protected, and it ad-
vances more rapidly. From 1860 to
1880 the increase OF weekly wages in
Massachusetts, in ninety different in
dustries was about 154 per cent, and
the greatest advance was in the unpro-
tected occupations. Yet the tariff
rates in the same period advanced
about "a per cent. This situation,
again, would have been impossible If
the rate of wages was determined by
the tariff. The same fact is illustrated
elsewhere. During the last forty
years, in which England has been
what is called free-trade country.
the rates of wages have increased
from 20 to l5O per cent, while the
hours Of labor have been reduced 20
per cent, and what the laborer con-
sumes has been diminished in price.
To-day the rates of wages in free-trade
England are AZ per cent. higher than
in protected Germany, and IS per cent.
higher than in protected France.
All this shows that however much
higher the rate of wages may be in
this country. and however desirable .
tariff may be for certain purposes, 1t
does not regulate the rate of wages.
That is determined by other considera-
tions, such as demand, intelligence,
efficiency, hours Of labor, and the OPP
portunity of advantageous change. In
England, for instance, the land is fully
occupied; but in this country there is
farm land enough in the West to en-
ploy ten times as many wage-earners
rs there are in the protected indus
tries and give them a better living
than they are getting. II the actual
amount Of wages paid in this country
be larger than in England. yet Mr..
Blaine said, when Secretary of State,
in 1881: 1.-The inequalities in the
wages of English and American oper-
atives are more than equalized by the
greater efficiency of the latter and
their longer hours OF labor" Tho
American laborer does moro and bet
ter work in shorter time. 1t is that
| and similar facts which determine tho
rate OF his wages, and not the tariff. But
