VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Some Good Words on the Tariff
and Wage Subject.

and Wage Subject.
To the Editor of the Bee:
am glad that Mr.. Wheeler has given
facts he privately related some time
ago. The picture is refreshing one
for those who talk about labor getting
the benefit of protection. Women
nearly naked working beside men
nearly brutaliZed in the scorching fur
naces of Andrew Carnegie, while that
gentleman is riding with the leader of
the Republican party to Cluny castle.
The fact is that protection" not only
lowers, but greatly lowers, the rate of
wages. If not, how comes it that wages
in the nOn-"prOtected' occupations,
such as The building trades and railroad
ing, are so much higher than wages in
iron-making and mining? Since 1880
there has been a general rise in wages
i'm the non-'.protected'' occupations of
about Is per cent; bnt in the 'protect-
ed" occupation there has been general
fall, as John Jarrett himself admits of
20 per cent. The truth is that the high
tariff puts the men in the power of the
masters. The masters can and do fire.
quently go through with this little pro-
cess. First they manufacture heavy
surplus: then, alleging that the market
is weak, they unite in declaring that
wages must be reduced. The men
probably strike. Then, as production
ceases, prices go up and the manufac-
turerS make more money than ever, in
asmuch as the mountain-high tariff,
more than twice as high as that of any
other country except Brazil, does not
allow the competition OF foreign goods.
IT, fhrnn he fIln
starved out and go back to work at re-
duced wages, and stay till another cut
is determined upon. The manufactur-
ers would not be so ready to shut down
were it not for the high tariff which Sc
cures them the market. L fancy how
Carnegie must roll around and laugh at
the idea that high tariff makes him
pay high wages.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l propose to offer
you companion picture of MIR.
Wheeler's, and challenge Republican
denial. While the manufacturers have
been reducing the wages of protected"
labor within the last twenty years until
the general level is below that of the
awful "free trade" year of 1860, the
manufacturers have been gathering in
the money of the people of the United
States as follows:
4,5OO. 900 tons: in twenty years, 90.000,-
600 tons. Average extra price paid by
the people because competition was re-
stricted to Pennsylvanians is at least
$40 per ton; tota. tribute of people to
Pennsylvania $90C, $780, 900.
There is not blow made, railroad
built, house erected that does not cost
from Is to 80 per cent more on account
of the tariff. If our Republican friends
want another picture | can supply it:
Steel rails production in 20
years in c. S. in tons, about. 1900, 900
Extra price paid first by rail-
roads and next by their ship
pers will average per tom. $40
Total tribute to steel rail
makers :. 49,. 49,. $500. 600, 900
The mass of the Republican party is
no doubt honest in its belief that some
how the tariff 'fosters" industries with
out anybody paying for the fostering.

WHEAT AND CORN.

The conditions Of the grain market at
the close ON Saturday give promise of
renewed activity to-day. 1t was strong
at Chicago, and fractionally higher at
other centers, with good prospects of
continued upward tendencies. The
philosophy of the movement is proba-
bly, due to the extraordinary shortage
in the European harvest and the pro-
posed removal of the French duties on
grain.
The discussion of the policy and
movement to abolish the French import
tax was matter of considerable inter-
est a few weeks ago, and it is not inn
probable that it was the germ of the
present whirl in prices. Shrewd manip-
ulators of the markets perceived the
drift of inevitable conditions and pre-
pared to meet them. They fully I'M
derstand that France must have the
wheat whether she takes off her duties
or not. and whether she does or not is a
matter of Indifference on this side of
the Atlantic.
Corn receipts are also heavy in the
Chicago market, signifying evidently
that the crop is in readiness to take its
share in the upward tendency of prices.
The maximum estimates entertained
generally for some months appear to be
about fully realized; that is, rise on
1000, 100000 bushels. If so, it will be
the richest and grandest years gift that
this nation or any other. in all history
ever received from natures providence,
and its effects and influences will
necessarily be felt in every branch of
industry, finance and commerce.
Let the farmer whistle and grow
merry, for his lines have been cast in
pleasant places.
