Common Sense and the Tariff.

The man who would say that his
neighbor must patronize any especial
clothing or dry goods store or grocery
in this city would be called fool
The man who would undertake to
compel the employment of any par
ticular person would be called an i'd
OF. Yet this is precisely what the
protective tariff contemplates. In OPP
Grafton it does this very thing. In
consequence those whom it compels to
patronize becomes disproportionately
wealthy. This creates monopoly, and
makes fair play a mockery. The big
tariff is only an application of meth
DDS pointed out above to which people
would not submit in private transact
tons. Neither should they submit to
the discriminating laws of the Gov
eminent. They should make resist
ance with their ballots in such man
ner as to force change, a right-about
in the interest of fair play and homes

Wherein is Labor Protected ?

The workingmen are reading and
thinking for themselves, and one of the
questions which they want the defend
ers of war taxes in time of peace to
answer is whether these taxes, unnec-
essary for revenue, have any effect in
raising wages. Comparatively few,
in fact, much less than 10 per cent,
of those that are earning their living
in this country are engaged in occu-
pations subject to foreign competition,
and the greater number of these are
engaged in cotton and WOODEN mills
and in iron mining and smelling. In
deed, the whole number of protected
workers is about equal to that Of the
domestic servants or the railway en-
ployes. If war taxes really protect
the wage workers, the men employed
in the so-called protected industries
should be paid higher wages than is
paid to men employed in the non-pro-
tected industries. Is it so? Accord
ing to the census of 1880, the average
wages of the unprotected railway en-
ployes was $3.50 a year, while the
protected iron workers avera ged only
1912. Do miners and smelters get
higher wages than the bricklayers ?
Do skilled workers in cotton and
wooden mills receive more than car
penters? Everyone knows that they
do not; but that, on the contrary,
their earnings are much less. How
then, do those high taxes benefit la
Dor? 1t is an undisputed fact that
workers in silver mines arc much bet
ter paid than the men who delve for
iron, vet on iron there is high pro-
tective tariff, while in silver there is
absolute free trade.-Philadelph
Call.
