WAGES AND PROTECTION

"Lower wages? A pretty commentary that
on a tariff which processes to secure higher
wages ~ Such is the argument Of Free Traders
when employers in iron works propose reduc-
ton Of l 0 per cent, or when there is a rumor
that some such employers are meditating that
change The intention is, il possible to set
employed against employers. TO foster bad feel
ing between them, TO stop Tho prosperity Of the
countrys greatest manufacture, in the hope that
free-trado Democracy may gain some votes. The
aim is as unpatriotc as the motive is despicablc.
But the question, once raised, needs to be frank
ly met.
A good many iron works are at the verge Of
suspension. New establishments, in region
where labor is cheap, and new competition at a
time Of diminished demand for rails and some
other iron products, have cut down profits or
cut them of entirely. In works so situated
the only possible question is whether lower
wages shall be paid or no wages. That this is
the naked fact, without vanishing or exaggera
ton, THE TRIBUNE knows with certainty, and
50 do many iron manufacturers and workers
Nobody has pretended that the protective sys-
TEN or any other can at all times secure equal
prosperity 20 all industries, or to every estab-
lishment of any industry, whether favorably or
unfavorably located. But where the only al
tentative is lower wages or n stoppage Of work,
no greater wrong can possibly be done TO tho
workers than 70 persuade them, for partisan
ends, that employers are moved, not by neces-
sity, but by greed.
There are other employers, not q few. to

Much criticism is being passed upon the
Legislature just now because the appropriations
made increase the State taxes from Ss'
to Sl2, 55s,55O. Our Albany correspondent IN
a dispatch printed to-day, throws some tmeiy
light upon this subject. He points out that tne
appropriations last year were much smaller tnan
they would otherwise have been, because 0hefe
was a surplus OF 100000 in the treasury 10
start with, and because there was no appropria-
ton made for the State prisons. This last Item
amounts 10 s1,2OO,OOO These two things
account for two millions Of this years excess
30 that if the present Legislature has been eS-
trayagant, its extravaganza must be confined to
the remaining one million. Democratic critics
of Republican prodigality will do well to turn
back to 1888, when Democratic Legislature
and Governor Cleveland caused an increase IN
State taxation of more than S2,50o.Ooo over
the previous year of Republican rule.
