Wages Depend On supply and De-
mnnd, and the Productive Capacity
OF the LabOTer.
The Chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee replied with great force to the
assertion that high wages depended on the
tariff, and presented the statistics to show
that wages in America were high because
American laborers did more work. he said:
Eut, MIR. Chairman, it Is said that this " Ill
injure our labor. 1t Is said high tariff
makes high wages for labor. 1t is said il We
reduce the tarlf wages must be reduced.
How is it high tariff makes high wages for
labor1 How can 1t he explained Why,
they say, as q matter OF course, II you in
manufacturer Is able to pay higher wages.
PROFESSIONALLY he is, but does he do lti No.
Mr. Jay Gould, with his immense income
from his railroad property, Is abie to pay his
boothlack $500 day, but does LIE do 1T Oh,
no; he pays the market price OF the street.
He gets his boots BACKED and pays MS nickel
like little man. l4aughter.l Mir. " ander-
biit, from the income arising from the inter
est on the immense amount OF bonds OF the
Federal Government he has got, can afford
TO pay his bostler SO, NO year. he Is able
to do it; his bonds enable him TO do it, but
does be 90 itf Oh, no; he goes out into the
market and employs his labor at the market
value, and pays the same price that the hum
blest citizen in New York does.
High tariff does not regulate wages.
Wages are regulated by demand aid supply
and ths capacity of the iaborer TO DO the
work for which he Is employed. Ii high
tariff regulated wages, how is IL the wages IN
tho different States OF the Union are differ
ent. while the tariff Is all tho same from
Maine to California; In every part OF tie
territory OF the United States the tariff is
the same. how is ii the wages are not the

An unusually sad death occurred in G.
il. Semtuer's family at Sill North Elev-
cnth street Yesterday morning. Last
Thursday evening Mrs. Semtuer left her
little daughter Lille. two years OF age,
and her four-vear-old son playing in the
trout room and went down stairs. While
She was away the boy opened n wash
stand drawer and took out a soda bottle
flied with iauid which he thought was
Soda water. 1t was bed-bu2 poison and
was strongly mixed with arsenic. Before
taking drink himself he gave the bottle
TO mis- baby sister. and she drank several
houthfuls OF the poison. She made such
wrv faces that the boy would not drink,
and in o few minutes later the baby be-
came very sick When the mother re-
turned she found the DOOR baby suffering
agonics. and the little boy was too fright
ened to tell her about the cause of the
sickness but did SO later. On hearing
the cause. the mother hastily summoned
Q doctor but it was too late. The doctor
could do nothing for the child. and she
died in great pain at 5 O'clock Yesterday
morning. An inquest was held. and q
verdict of accidental poisoning rendered.

tariff Is beneficial to the farmer because,
first, it protects him against competition
from the agricultural products OF other
countries, and, secondly, because, by
ing the number of persons engaged in
other than Agricultural pursuits, 1t
furnishes him with protitab BILE home
market for his products. 1t can not be
necessary for me to make On argument to
show that no rate Of duty, however high,
upon articles which the farmer Is COM
PEELED to send abroad and sell at foreign
prices can possibly benefit him here at
home or elsewhere. This has been SO
often shown and is so thoroughly under
stood by the farmers themselves that 1t
would be a waste Of time to dwell upon
the subject.
It is barely possible that at particular
points along or near our Canadian border
there are times when the small duty on
barley, potatoes, hay and few other
articles prevents competition from the
other side of the line; but if the gentle
man from Maine is correct In his con-
tention that the tariff does not increase
the prices Of the domestic product of
courve this is no advantage TO the
American farmer. In fact according
to the gentleman's argument II the
tariff has any effect at an upon the
interest Of the farmer in the cases /
nave mentioned it reduces the prices
Of his product and is therefore an injury
to him.
But do not agree with the gentle
man, and l concede that the producer
Of these articles At the places indicated
may occasionally receive higher prices
for them than he would receive il there
were no duty; but while they receive
this occasional benefit-which is a very
slight ono even when they enjoy it
they are all the time and under al
circumstances subject to the burdens i'm
posed by high rates Of duty upon articles
which they do not produce, but are
advantages are set off against The dis

sOLlCIroUs FOR HARRISON

The Democratic journals are sud.
denly becoming very solicitous Of
the welfare of General Harrison.
They think if Blaine is allowed to
60 into the State of Indiana and
make protection speeches that he
will overshadow Harrison which Of
course would be a very deadful
thing.
From present indications how
ever, rs large a man as Blaine is,
it will take a good deal bigger man
than he to evershadow Ben Harri-
SON whose protection speeches show
him to be fully as able q protec-
Zionist speaker ~ Blaine.
Harrison does not fear to walk
about with Blaine in Indiana or
elsewhere. He has invited Blaine
to come to Indiana and talk to the
people along with him and no one
seems t. be apprehensive of the re-
suit but the Democrats.

CHARLES CRoCKER.

Charles Croker, the railroad
man whe died recently, left $35,
900 900. A good many people i'm
prove the opportunity to accuse the
dead man of piling up . vast lot o.
money by robbing the people.
Now, a. . matter of fact, Crockel
got his money by ecoaomy, hard
work and good habits. He began
working for 81 a week, which shows
that he was not born with . silver
spoon in his mouth by any means.
While other boys were out fishing
for suckers he was putting in hard
ticks. He didn't drink and he
didn't gamble his earnings away,
and he kept aloof from fast con-
pany.
OF course about the Same time
there were other boys in the same
town with Croker. Who were of
the same age and had the same
chances - Croker. But they
wanted to be "bloods," and their
money and health was frittered
away in dissipation and fast living,
night hurrahs and having . good
time.
These boys had . good deal more
fun than Crscker early in life, but
when they reached the age when
they could really enjoy life they
were too poverty stricken and too
broken in health.
Croker worked hard for what he
got to make . start with; worked
with his hands to get the start, and
after he got it he gave his hands a
rest and let his brains take the
shift.
He built the biggest railroad in
the United States and helped to
Join both sides Of q big continent.
