PROTECTION AND WAGES.

kGcfS from the Wage Tables of the Mas
sa$ausetts Labor Reporta-
The vase tables of the Massachu-
sets Labor Reports are always interest
ing reading for the light they throw on
a good many mooted questions They
are especially interesting for the light
they throw on the proposition SO conf
IDENTIFY made that the tariff increases
wages. A comparison of the wages paid
in some of the highly-protected indus
tries with those paid in the industries
which enjoy little or no proteetion
shows that the claim so often made in
behalf of the aarif is utterly untenable.
The paper industry, for instance, en-
joys less protection than any other
great industry of Massachusetts, In
the wages tablss of the labor report IS
per cent of the employees in this indus.
try are represented OF these it appears
that nearly so per cent get SO and up
wards per week while nearly 25 per
cackt- get SIS per week and upwards
The wooden industry, on the other
hand, is one of the most highly pro-
tected If the tariff has the effect
claimed for it of raising the wages of
labor in the protected industry the
wages in the WOODEN industry ought to
be much higher than the wages in the
scantily protected paper industry. In
of fact they are not higher They are
much lower. Instead of 50 per cent get
ting over SO week, as in the paper in
dustry, only 81 per cent get that rate.
And instead of 25 per cent getting SIS
and over. as in the paper industry. the
number in the wooden industry getting
that rate is only per cent
The contrast is quite as marked when
the lower wages in both industries are
compared In the paper industry the
proportion of the workmen reported re-
ceiring less than s. week is about 13
per cent while less than 80 per cent
get under S.. In woolens % per cent get
less than 50 and more than half less
than 81.
Quite as emphatic is the showing
made by . comparison of the shoe in
dustry in which there is only about 80
per cent of protection. with the cotton
industry, which is protected all the way
from 40 to 75 per cent In boots and
shoes. of the number of wage earners re-
ported nearly one-half get s12 and over
per week and one-fifth get SIS and over
In the highly protected cotton industry
more than 81 per cent Of the wage
earners reported get less than $5 week
and over 10 per cent get less than $ a
week.

This Pittsburgh concern, which is the
largest plate-glass establishment in the
country, cleared SAX per cent on its
capital. With the existing tariff, which
givesit IA per cent protection on the
large sizes, it is not remarkable that
high profits should be realized. What
is remarkable Is that the Senate COM
mittee should offer to pamper this rich
and promising concern by granting adj
ditional protection The popularity
about tariff makers is that they never
know where to stop. It is no wonder
that we sometimes hear the more eau
tdous protectionist say: Our people
are carrying this thing too far"
But this dispatch contains another
statement which is worthy of attention
The writer of the dispatch was evident
" protectionist for he put the follow
ing observation into it: until few
years ago very nearly all of the plate
glass used in America was imported and
was sold at about S1.5O foot Now the
home manufacture has grown to such a
degree that importations have ceased
almost completely and the price has
come down to 65 to 30 cents a foot az
| cording to trade" which means, what a
glorious thing protection is,
The point he wants people to see is
that plste-glass has fallen from $50
foot to 65 to 90 cents as the result of
protection
But was it projections
The Treasury Department reports
that last year 3,029,e 07 square feet of
''unsilvered"-i e. polished-plate glass
was imported and that the total value
| Of it vas S9S3, S16, which is slightly less
| than 80 cents square foot
Now if the tariff reduced the domestic
glass from Il so foot to IS to 90 cents,
what was it, pray, that reduced the price
OF the foreiEn glass?
7 This dispatch says there are nine
factories which it is proposed to COM
| bine into this trust, and that their total
output il %, 600, 600 feet. Let us take
the writer's statement of the cost of
this slpzs a. from IS to go cents square
foot and it would seem that n average
cost Of 80 cents foot would be very
! reasonable estimate.
What, then, On this basis, does the
output OF these nine factories COZ the
country? S1s. 80, 600.
Nov, making the liberal estimate OF
SSS cents - the price of foreign plate
glass laia aewh ia Se~ York, what then
would 5he same quantity cost the coun-
try? oSS, SEQ, 0m.

der great excitement, they reported the
matter to the authorities
All Brounfield was exciNed over the
terrible news. Never in the history OF
the town had such a tragedy occurred.
The woman was we'll known in the COM
munity as a young widow whose nus
band had led a somewhat reckless life,
but who had left her we'll provided for
at his death, which occurred after 9wo
years of welded life.
AS was most natural 9th the added
=attrEGtion of a snug fortune the pretty
young widow was quite popular, and 1T
was rumored that she had half dozen
rsuitors.
But this is in the netuI9 of digres-
sion. l have introduced you to the
woman-dead. and the principal object
of this story is to unravel for the reader
the mystery of her death.
The mayor, the five councilmen, the
town marshal, and perhaps fifty citizens
'.of Brounfield, after they had heard the
story of the two laborers. followed them
to the spot where the body lay.
1t was fitting spot for murder. The
sandy road, arched by meeting trees
that shut the sunlight out, led abruptly
to covered bridge which spanned a
bleak and sluggish Stream; and just
fifty yards 3orn the water, in a clump
of bushes by the roadside, the body lay.
Why did the murderer Aeave it there?
was the question we involuntarily
asked ourselves. as the white face and
staring eyes met our gaze. Why did he
not seek to conceal his crime ~ throw
ing the body in the river?
The woman had been strangled; the
print of human fingers GAS visible or
her white throat. The fingers of the
right hand were closed eighty unit
the blue nails seemed to pierce the
bloodless palms. Evidently shp haG
not died without struggle.
Look" cried one of the men, point
ing to the closed hand, and we saw FOL
the first time that it hehS q little tuf
of coarse, black hair.
''This may be clue to the murderer.
Ssaid the mayor. Justice Brown. you
will hold the inquest. Had We not bet

ter remove the body at once to Broun-
-field?'
The justice assented. and we formed
"a little funeral procession, and bore the
dead woman to the town.
The two laborers who had discovered
the body were held as witnesses, but
the inquest developed nothing, except
that the woman was fond of taking long
walks In the afternoon, and that on the
evening preceding her death she had
been seen leaving her house by q col
sored woman, who testified that she saw
a man, who wore no coat, join her in
the little town park and enter into con-
versation with her. There the witness
lost sight of them and thought nothing
of the incident She could not describe
the man in his shirt sleeves, for she was
not near enough to distinguish his feat
lures. She remembered, however, that
ne was a tall man, and seemed to have
"a stick or walking cane in his hand.
Who could have committed the crime?
Robbery was not the object, for the
woman's purse. containing seven dollars,
was found by her side, or rather little
,satchel which she carried suspended
from her neck.
My business kept me in Broanfield q
week after this event. but when left
they were no nearer to solving the mys-
terry of the murder than they were when
the body was found.
