"A BILL FOR LOWERING WAGES

TO the E0tt0r OF Ibe IFtOHHe.
Sir: Do American workmen know what the MIN
bill for reducing the tariff mealsl will explains
Free trade in the United States European pay
and European comforts for American worlingmen;
It means that not only the workingmen will have to
labor from early morning until late at night, but also
their wives and their children. When Mr. Minis pro-
poses to reduce the tariff iron SO ton, he means
that the American workmen, whose labor produces the
iron will receive SO less for making that ton OF
iron, than they receive. The material for ton
of ron as it lies In the ground in the shape OF coal,
lronore limestone, sand, etc, before American labor
touches IT, is scarcely worth 81. When the iron Is
manufactured into bars and ready to ship It is worth
about $40 per ton, representing $50 worth OF
labor. When Mr. Mills wants to reduce the duty %
uer ton he cannot take off the sc from the 81 which
the material is worth In the ground, but 1t must ba
taken off the workmen's wages. The only tarn re-
qured for the United States is tariff for the pro-
lection Of American labor and any bill for lowering
tariff should read a Bill for Lowering workings
mems wagcs' That is exactly what IT means
We have here at Phoenixvile nearly $500 men at
work making iron II the Mills bill becomes . law,
