These statistics do not show the
difference between American and

that the tariff covers not only such
difference but much more than the
whole cost of labor. The same
thing is true of branches of indus

duty upon coal and ircn ore is rs
cents a ton, yet several thousand
miners in Pennsylvania are report

that She tariff is intended only to
