These figures tell their own story. In
almost every instance the weekly wages Of
the American workingman or woman Is
double that of the English man or woman,
and In many instances It is treble.
But the free trader will tell you that the
English worker can live at u much less cost
than the American. Careful examination
shows that the English worker lives at
from 10 to 90 per cent less than the AmerI-
can-that is, where an American spends
800 to support himself and family for a
given period, the Englishman, with the
same family, would only cXpend $50 or SSj.
Take two paper makers-one in England
receiving $500 per week and one in New
York receiving $50 per week. The English
paper maker in sixteen weeks would receive
Ss3.2O, and the American 1920. So If the
Americans living expenses for the sixteen
weeks were 500 he would have $22O, and
the Englishman nothing.
Another thing these free traders forget to
tell, and that is, the difference in the man
ner Of living between the American and the
Englishman. There is 10 American artisan
would consent to live as the Englishman
does. We hear of ''the roast beef of old
England" but it is not the workingman who
eats it. lie is fortunate indeed II there is
meat on his table three days in the week,
while the American has ii at every meal.
Let the workingmcn read the tables
above. Not those only who work in pro-
tected industries, but those who do not, be-
cause the high wages Of the one class pro-
luce those of the other If the workers
in protected industries received the same
rate Of wages that are paid in England, the
workers in unprotected industries would be
| paid as they are in England.
1t is the workingmen of America-thc
men who labor with their hands-who are
more interested in the American system OF
protection than any others. These ttJics

The Philadelphia Item.

The Philadelphia Item is one of the very
best papers on our exchange list. Its edi-
torial columns are bright and scintillating,
while in the collection and putting in read
able form the news of the day the Item Is
unsurpassed. 1t has deserved and attained
wonderful success, and Is continually add
ing to It facilities in every way. Some
two months since there was added to the
office grand quadruple press, which prints,
folds, and delivers nearly one thousand
papers minute, or about 10000 papers
an hour, and in a few days the latest i'm
provement Of Hoe Is to be set up. This
printing machine will print from 10000 to
900 copies of the paper per hour. 1t is
to be manufactured by r. Hoe Il Co., and
will cost $4,000. The new press will print,
paste, fold, and count in bundles Of fifty, u
four, six, eight, ten, twelve, or sixteen
page paper, and will be the first Of its kind
turned out by its makers. 1t will print
much faster than any press now owned in
New York, Philadelphia, Boston, or
Chicago.
Speaking of this new press the Item says,
When this grand printing machine Is in good
working order we shall invite the newspaper
men of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York
Delaware, Maryland, Washington, and the
nation at large TO come and see it in operation
and take luncheon with us.
