There is no reason whatever why
every mai, III lie United States should
not be willing to r:y such rates CT
wages and such prices OF commodities
/ IS shall naturally result from the free
and unrestricted competition ofall oar
4 own people.
4 When trade between people IS per
| feCtly free, as in thi, country, there
! cannot, on the average and III the long
run, be higher wages paid TO those en-
/ ragged in one industry than to those ii
| another. " hereyer amy enc Industry
gives Indication that tie compensation
aid TO those engaged in it is on the
average greater than the compensation
paid III otl:er occupations, the industry
paving the higher compensation IS IN
yadei by men from the occupations
paying less, and thus wages constantly
tend to an equalization. This invasion
may continue 10 a point at which, by
the ovcrstCck:ng Of tie labor market
in the favored industry, wages may
finally decline to Il point lower than
the average rates prevailing in other
Industries
Under the Democratic policy, if
wages fail in Europe our industries
stand in danger Of destruction. On
the other hand, Willie protesting to lie
The special friend of the workin@man,
the Democratic party would set on

possible any increase IN the wages OF
Our CWn peoi le.
1t Is sometimes charged as araproacli
against the Protective policy that III
some spCc.al protected industry wages
tend TO a minimum. Where this &C.
ours it is an nnerring Indication Of tie
vicious distribution Of industries, ana
one Of themost distressing consequence
es of their maiitj ustment. The rem
ely indicttc is, 10 al reduction OF the
Tariff, but d wider diyerSi licatiOn and
distribution of industries, So that all
persons who want employment may
not be compelled TO seek it in tie same
occupation.
II is Obvious that if industries be
relatively few, with large numbers OF
men seeking employment, those men
must distribute themselves as best
they may, and without intelligent ad-
iustmcnt, among tie few industries in
operation.
If large number enter into any
special pursuit Than are needed tomeet
the demands of production III that pur-
suit wages vii inevitably decline.
The function Of Productive Tariff,
carried to its farthest limit, IS to obvi
ate the necessity for this. Its tandan-
cy is to el.C olra@e the establishment
of variety Of industries and SO to IN
crease opportunities for employment,
not in one or two but ii Il great diver
5;ty Of occupations.
