protection leads directly to an increase of
the wages of labor In this country, the pre-

No great system of revenue like our
tariff can operate with efficiency and equity
unless the changes of trade be closely
watched and the law promptly adapted to
those changes, but | would make no
change that should impair the protective
character of the whole body of the tariff
laws" So said Mr.. Blaine, and so says the
Republican party-PrincetoR Republican.
That then is the reason no change in the
tariff is wanted by the republicans now,
Ell? And yet, as Mr.. David A. Wells has
shown, in his recent articles il The PoDUlaT
Science NOnthIy, since the present war
tariff was enacted, the opening of the Suel
canal, the more general use Of the tele-
graph and steam power, and other changes
wrought by Silence and progress have reyo

world! If no change is needed now, in
the name of common sense when will 1t be
needed?

And lastly, the "Baron's" table is open Il

on II, the wages OF unprotected labor vii
be shown uniformly to be higher thar
those Of protected labor.
The outcome Is, as II always must be
where this discussion Is honestly conduct
ed, that tariff protection" has no contro
over the wages of labor and that, in point
Of fact, the two have no relation 10 each
other whatever. Statistics show that from
various economic causes, but mainly the
discovery Of gold In California and Austria
liza, there has been gradual rise of wages
for over thirty years throughout both
Europe and America. This matter Is pre-
sented most clearly in the fifth and sixth
annual reports of the Massachusetts Bureau
Of Statistics, where II Is shown, by ire
fragible tables giving figures in detail
from 1850 to 1888, that in Great Britain
under near approach to free trade, the
principal mechanical industries show an
advance In wages from 1850 to 1888 OF
30 rs per cent, and in America, during the
same period, an advance of 90 SO per cent
In regard to continental Europe the figures
are less complete, but show also quite a
notable advance there, during the same
period.
The truth thus is, that while the idea
that wages are determinable by the tariff is
the corner stone of American protection, II
is demonstrable that wages in this country
are determined, not in the factory but on
the farm; not by protection. but by free
trade. Mr.. Daniel Pidgeon an economic
writer Of the highest authority, in his ad,
mirable book odd World Questions and
New World Answers has demonstrated
this beyond all possible dispute. Out of a
total population OF 100000 in this coun,
try, he says, there are 100000 of workers,
and of these 100000 are engaged in agri-
culture, and 100000 in manufacturing
industries. Between these, wages, like
water, seek level, and labor Will quit the
field for the workshop, or the workshop for
the field, as this or that pays best. Thus
agriculture is the paymaster whom Amer
lean manufactures must outbid and agri-
cultural wages are determined in the free
trade market of the world.

The La Sale Dem Press tells the follow
ing very remarkable story:-That in the
last congress, when the committee was ma
turing tariff reduction bill, parties inter
ested in the mining and manufacture OF
zinc we're greatly agtated, and delegations
headed by Mr. Means, of Peru, Ills, and
Mr.. Mcclellan, of Missouri, went to Wash
ington to protest against the reduction OF
duty on zinc ore, represented to be q Cts
Ger pound, or $33 60 per ton. 1t was In
sisted that if this duty were lessened utter
ruin would follow and the zinc Industry
crushed out of existence. No tariff reduc-
ti2n, however, was accomplished by the
Forty. ninth congress, but delegation OF
zinc men recently appeared before the
WAYS and means committee and reiterated
their statements made to the Forty. ninth
CONGRESS. 1t seems that at this juncture
Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, requested
to be furnished with the tariff schedule OF
duty on zinc ore Inquiry developed the
hitherto unsuspected fact that zinc ore was
subjected only to an ad valorem duty
amounting to 80 cents per ton, and that no
specific tax whatever was levied upon that
article. To say that the zinc men were
astonished barely expresses their feelings
They had supposed that zinc ore was pro-
tected by specific duty of IL cents per
pound, and were utterly oblivious OF the
fact that the zinc industry was flourishing
and that they had become rich and prosper

The table Is open to criticism, In the
first place, ON the ground that the highest
figures in this country are given and the
lowest in Europe Thus who will pretend
that the common wages of blacksmiths In
this country Is 81 day; or bricklayers 81,
coal miners SO So &c? AS to coal miners,
Mr. David NJ Evans, a Pennsylvania an
thracte miner who was sent TO the legis-
lature, where he made an intelligent and
useful member, says;
The men who work in the breakers here
get from 50 cents to 81 10 a day. The inside
miners get less than 81 day. They will
average the year around perhaps S2S q
months. Every one here Is always In debt

body and soul together ut the stores.

can't help themselves. We are almos
paupers here; S2S a month and truck pay
at that! No wonder tive are almost pauper'
here
The "Baron's" table is open to a secont
criticism. The wages he gives as those O
Continental Europe are the wages paid IL
countries where the highest measure o
protection prevails. Nobody can pretent
but that the laborers of France, Belgium
and Germany are as intelligent and skillfu
as those Of England, or that the natural re
sources, means Of transportation, and al
other conditions Of the continental coun
tries named are not equal to those OF Eng
land; yet In these highly protected cont
mental countries the wages Of labor averag

The matter OF a re division of the city


The matter OF re division of the city
into seven wards, is one that has been but
little discussed as yet; though If the late
census is accepted and approved by the
council, the division must need come very
soon. Some fault was found with the old
division, on the ground that it was very,
very unequal as for instance, the present
make up of the council really gives the
north end-the heavily populated manu-
featuring district only two out of the ten
aldermen. Whether the matter will come
up at the next meeting, we are not advised
but the council will do the people injustice
if they arbitrarily create the new wards oE
the spur of the moment without giving the
people the opportunity of discussing the
proposed re.districting of the city by wards
