They

and useful supporters. They
think tina. if he could not let his
friends know his intentions in time
to act, he might it least have trust
ed them with the first intimation
and that he could, with periee
propriety, have omitted that par
OF the message which intinates thai
they have been true to him and the
party.
The Enterprise states good
deal of truth, but it does not state
it all.
WOODBURY. has Fever had to fight
men in his own party. His vote
during three campaigns disproves
any such assertion.
More than this, friends OF his own
party have repeatedly paid bis cam
paign assessments.
He has had more favors financial
and political from Republicans than
any other candidate, and in spite
of all these things he never came
in from the Great East that he did
not wear a serious face and Intimate
that the ticket was liable to be
beaten. In the thickest OF the
fight when a stiff upper-lip was
most needed he always lost heart
and predicted disaster.
After all these things to consider
Woodburn's dispatch intimating
treachery in the party was q very
bad taste, and conveyed a wholly
wrong impression.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1888-05-05
EASILY ANSWERED..

Germany "protects" the wooden
industry with tariff Of from ii to
50 cents a pound on woolens. The
wages OF weavers average $2.79 q
week, as against s6.3l in England.
Why doesn't the tariff make Ger
man wages high ?-Chronicle.
The majority OF German weavers
weave silk and linen. In order to
keep wages up, the Government
must "protect" all classes alike.
Suppose you "protect" wool with
a high tariff and fail to protect the
iron and shoe industry. What is
the result? The wages for shoe
makers is so small that no shoe
maker will apprentice his son to the
business. No iron founder will al
low his son to learn the trade of
his father. These people with moth
ing to do, drift into some protected
industry. and very soon neutralize
whatever good protection affords,
by over-stocking the labor market.
Protect all industries alike and that
will prevent the unprotected in
dustries feeding eff the protected.
But the Chronicle need not go to
Germany or England to make
comparison of wages on the ques-
ton OF free trade or protection.
Here is table taken from . COM
piIation from the National Labor
Bureau on this subject. We chose
the State of Illinois because it best
illustrates the utter fallacy OF the
Chronicles argument. The COM
parison illustrates the difference,
not between wages in Germany and
but a case nearer home
England and the United States; be-
tween a free trade country and .
protected by the tariff.

wOGDBURN,S COURSE.

Woodburn's dispatch to Reno
announcing his withdrawal from
the Congressional race has caused
considerable feeling against him,
and there is just grounds for such
feeling.
The Enterprise states the case
exactly as follows:
Mr.. Woodburn closed his tele-
gram to his friend when he an
nounced that he was not a candi-
date, "Nominate Winner"
This was excellent advice, but
from the tone of the dispatch it
would almost seem as though he
did not want to see winner NOM
mated. His friends here who have
stood by him for years, who have
forborne pressing their claims in
Difference to what the party regard
ed as his superior availability, are
exhibiting much discomfort at his
suggestion that he has been fight
ing his own side. Other candi-
dates meet With opposition before
the convention meets, but they do
not feel that they are fighting their
own side. They are making q
friendly contest in the party. While
he was a probable candidate other
gentlemen OF this county, who are
entitled by ability and party service
to aspire to State offices, held back
in obedience to the unwritten law
of political apportionment, and
they and their friends, feel aggriev-
ed that the first notification of his
withdrawal should come through
another county. They think that
they we're entitled to the earliest
information as to his intentions,
and while endorsing his conclusions,
Nominate q Winner" do not re-
lish his remark about fighting his
own side. Mr.. Woodburn has been
a popular and strong man in his
own party, but he has displeased
many who were once his willing

Now, let us look little further
and compare the difference in wages
between the CONS took and the
English miners in the matter OF
day wages:
England. New.
Miners. 30 cents $500
Perhaps the Chronicle can induce
the Comstock miners to believe
that If the tariff were only abolished
they would be getting So or Sc a
day.
