Talks ON the Tarin.

The Hartford Courant is doing some
excellent tariff talking, in which all
wage earners ought to be interested.
Here liz a sample:
1.-The chief difference to-day between
American and European manufactu-
ring is in the wages. Gen sral Dwight's
amazing figures show that. Here they
are for exactly the same work in
Europe and in his Windsor Locks
mills:
Windsor Locks workman per diem ...... %
European foreman n month. .......-..... IS 90
Windsor Locks foreman month 100 W
Whittle down your self-respecting,
industrious and hopeful American
workman to the European scale and
you can run factories here under free
trade. But think what it meansl 1t
takes hope and promise out of the ele-
ments of American progress, and they
are the essence of it.
"And what ia all this for, or said to
be forg 1t is to enable our American
wooden manufacturers to compete in
the markets of the world with their
wooden goods. But where are those
markets? The fact is that we ourselves
are the best wooleH market in the
world, and, while neminally fitting
ourselves to export, we should really
be letting down the bars to admit for
eign competitors TO our market that
they so much cevet.
"Our mills would have to shut down
or cut down, our whole Industrial
system would be upset, and the
American workman would have
Wharf.-The opportunity to buy his
clothes little cheaper, and at the
same time nothing to buy them with.
The free traders tell us that if the mill
is closed the workman will do some
thing else" They don't say what,
and they seem to forget that in great
industrial crises "do something else'
means too often turn tramp, 90 beg
ging, give up the struggle and lapse
into crime or the poorhouse.
at is very simple matter for the
theorists to tell the workman what to
do, but let the theorIst turn working
man and see then how he would look
at things"

NEWSPAPER OPINIONS
A Penny Savings Bank.

Philadelphia North American.
There is no better way OF encouraging
thrift than by providing opportunities for
its safe and profitable exercise, and the
Penny Savings Bank down town, OF
which Mr.. jobs Wanamsker is the presi-
dent, and which was opened last evening,
will no doubt become an Influential agent
for COED In the neighborhood where II is
situated. AThe city ia none too well provided
with institutions Of this character. There
are two or three good savings banks
which deserve the entire confidence
Of depositors, but for a city OF a million
inhabitants like Philadelphia these are not
sufficient to meet the needs Of the people.
Il may be said that the building association
has in this city taken to a great extent the
place OF the savings bank, and so 1t has.
Yet II does not entirety satisfy the require
ments of frugal. provident public. The
introduction of the English Postal Savings
Bank system would probably work well,
but there are difficulties in the way, and In
the meanwhile Mr. Wanamaker and the
gentlemen associated with him are doing
the community a service by starting a
Penny Savings Bank.
