Simultaneously with daily reports Of
strikes and failures and Carnegie wage
reductions under our "protoctive" sys-
tenn, we are informed by the London
.Statist that in free trade England "there
is hardly trade in which wageg have
not risen during the past year or two,
and in some cases the rise has been very
great. The miners of Lancashire, York
shire and the midlands have gained 20
per cont advance during the past year"
Introductions of economies in manufao-
ture and a consequent larger output are
advanced as some reasons for the gain in
wages granted in the majority of cases by
employers.
