rur pocket or THE MONOPOLIsr.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who acts as
Jehu to Blaine In coaching the Florentine
Mosaic through Scotland, is a great
manufacturing Protectionist.
But we would like to ask whether the
wages paid his laborer' during the last
twenty wears have increased, while we
know that his profits under the pro'ec-
ton system have made him very rlch'
We would like to hear from the frotec-
tionists how many strikes there nave
been. and what good the protection OF
American labor" did the working men,
who thought they ought to have more
wages. 1t is all very well TO cry out Tor
,be "nrotec,ion of labor but labor ought
10 ask where it is protected.
Would it not be more pratical TO give
labor the raw material at the same prices
that other countries pay for it and then
LET American labor have fair chance on
the markets of the world? As ii is now,
a few manufacturers have the whole mo-
nopolv of manufacture and they can
avoid the competition in labor just IA "a
,rus, company buys up all the supply
and holds it on the market at It's own
prices. The enc beats the market by
killing competition and the other lowers
the price o. labor by confining its pro-
duc,ive power to a limited market.
The political sense Of the country has
moved rapidly in the last few months,
and the people are ready for square fight
against the aristocratc principles OF the
monopolisis Democracy and American
ideas mean freedom and equal rights, but
the great aristOcIacy Of the tariff means
privilege and tribute; privilege for the
aristocra,s and tribute paid by the Groan-
ing sinners every time they buy hat,
blanket. coat, alpaca irock. waisicoa',
trowsers. socks. shoes, or anything that
is a necessary article.

featuring Interests must be paid this tri-
butte. we insist on knowing how many
there are. We have never heard il claimed

lection. Take that from the population

that nearly jO,000,OOO pay 30 per cent.

As the Presidents message Is part OF
the platform ,l.e following plragraph from
it should be borne in mind by every one
who takes IN interest In the coming
national contest:
Under our present laws more than
1000 articles are subject to duty. Many
of these do not in any way compete with
our own manufactures and many are
hardly worth attention as subjects Of
revenue. 4 considerable reduction can
be made in the aggregate by adding them
to the free list The taxation of luxuries
presents no features Of hardship; but the
necessaries Of life used and consumed by
all the people, the duty upon which adds
to the cost Of living in every home,
should be greatly cheapened. Tdfrodtdl
redurfi9n Of the duties imposed upon rae mn
terlM used in manufactures, PITS fire mn
p2rts.iva. is of course an important factor
in any effort to REFUGE the price Of these
accessories.

4 sensation was created in the Hous
during the tariff discussion by The decla-
ration Of Congressman Whiting OF Micbi-
gan in favor Of free salt. Mr.. Whiting
is Democrat. but he is also a salt manu-
facturer, and the Republicans expected
that his private interest would induce
him to renounce bis Democracy on the
salt question at least. He disappointed
them. however, and then Congressman
Tarsney of the same State exposed the in
consistency of the Republican leaders by
showing from the Congressional Record
that Reed, Burrows, and Hitchcock had
voted for free salt in the Forty Seventh
Congress

Though a big manufacturer Of salt
stated that he wanted to see salt put on
the free list because America could make
it cheaper than other countries, still the
Republicans made the fight for the tariff
duty. The fact that the salt is prime ne.
cessity for manifold purposes of con
sumption did not weaken the opposition.
The duty was defended with such pecu-
liar arguments as that without it South
ern consumers would be at the mercy Of
foreign dealers and would have to pay
higher prices because American salt could
not compete with the foreign product.
The standardization here is made
clearer than is usual with protection ar
Crments. 1t was shown that some OF the
advocates Of a retention of the duty voted
for its removal in a former Congress, still
they held their ground This debate
shows that opponents OF the Mills bill are
determined to resist every change in the
presen, riff regardless Of argument and
of consequences.
