requirement of the art and has spent
considerable money for instruction.
He is naturally DISCOURAGED oy
the small salary offered, ana tnere-

himself with some business house, where,
starting upon small salary, he can
show his worth and increase bis position

less time than he can by Shaving away ID

Such Is @ brief resume of the people

The civil service law has protected those
occupying positions, and 1t is even limited

A WORD TO WoRKINGmEN.

n 1t Ia to the interest OF all who
have to work Tor their living to have
d steady demand for worklnen in all
parts of the country. This Pr0tec-
tiou aids to bring abont by keeping
out ofthe country such articles as
can as well be made here.
There is lsipr in every pound OF
iron. every yard Of cloth, every bale
OF hemp. Asx, and wool imported
from abroad, aud to the extent of
such Importation is the demand for
home labor reduced. Without a
tariff the inevitable result will be
that the standard Of wages paid IN
this country must be lowered to some
where near the level Of wages paid
abroad. This itsmust he, or no work
at all upon such articles us foreigners
are wiling to make cheaper than we
are now making them. Owners OF
factories, whose products are under
sold by cheaper made foreign pro-
duets, will go out of business unless
wages come down so as to enable
them to successfully compete. In
the event that they are forced to
close. workmen now in their employ
will have to look elsewhere for work,
and, in getting it, will crowd all the
harder the lists of those Industries
that may survive.
This view has both experience and
common sense for it's support. No
matter what free trade theorists
may preach, there never has been,
there never can be, found adequate
compensation in cheaper prices for
the decentralization Of wages, and
difficulty to get work on any terms,
that have invariably accompanied
experiments at reducing the tariff
to so-called revenue basis. The
promised cheapness is a delusion, in
that it only comes when the people
are unable to buy.

Tanning, East and West.

California tanners are revolutfoniz-

upon the same extensive scale that ma

tanning, which is superior to hemlock,
and nearly equal to oak, they 60 right
into the forests and establish tanner
les, using Chinese labor. When the
supply Of bark in the vicinity is ex-
hausted, they move the tannery amile
or two further on and resume opera
tons just like a portable sawmill.
Tanneries in the east that ere forced to
transport their bark for long distances
cannot compete SUCCESSFULLY against
these conditions, and in addition to all
this oak bark is getting scarcer and
higher every. year. I do not know
anything about an alleged discovery
of tanning hides by electricity, and
am inclined to believe it is something
on the order of the recently exploded
electric process of refining sugar. -
