Tn, Mistake of a rree-Trader.

The indianapolis Sentinel has discov-
cred that wages are not as high in Ger
many as in Great Britain, and conse-
gently Jumps at the conclusion that pro-
lection cannot, or does not affect wages.
1t quotes from consular report TO show
how poorly paid are the people in por-
ton of Germany who pursue the manu-
featuring trades in their homes. If il
had turned TO the nail-makers, the shoe
makers, the chGir-makers and the trades
pursued in their homes by a large class
of English work people, il would have
discovered that the wages are no higher
than they are in Germany. Bat now
that the free. trade Democratic orga n
has hit upon Germany as a protection
country in which wages are not so high
as i'm England, the Mecca of the free
trader. let the facts be presented. In
1879 Germany broke away from the free
trade TO lev, under the leadership OF Bis
marck, and adopted that OF protection.
The result in five years was an increase
of wages in the iron and textile indus
tries OF Is per cent, and the increase Of
general employment was in much larger
proportion. But instead OF taking the
statements of American Consuls or of
German trade reports, let us take the
special reports of British Consuls to the
ROYAL Commission. Consul General
Scott, at Berlin, in 1856, reported:
ain the face of protective duties the
prices of nearly all products have fallen,
in Germany, % TO 30 Ler cent, showing
that protection !s no hindrance to, but

rather an aid tn, the cheapening pro-
cess. Germans are pushing
their products into the markets of the
world. Over the whole of Ger
many business is brisk, products have
improved in quality and wages of labor
have increased n 4 The rates of
wages within the limits of this consular
district range above the average OF the
past twenty years between 1879 when
the protective policy was adopted) and
1885, wages have advanced 81 TO % per
cent. over those of 1S4S-51 for skilled
labor, and l0i TO 1926 for unskilled.
The British consul-general at Ham
burg, Mr. Dundas, is another witness
who should be fully credited by the SEN
tineL without cross-cXamination. In his
report i'm 1856 he said:
sin the period of 1879 So the wages
of bricklayers and carpenters rose from
LIZ and 2l0 marks Il day 10 3.45 and
3.75 for brlcklayers and 4. 10 marks for
carpenters"
Extracts of similar purport showing
that wages have advanced most decided
" since the adoption of the protective
policy might be given, but the above are
sufficient Now let us turn TO some
evidence of the status of wages in Great
Britain covering about the same period,
taking statements from the reports Of
the royal comm sson created by the
Government to inquire into the depres-
sion of trade and industry in 1886. That
commission says in one of its reports:
"Even where the rate of wages has
not been diminished the total amount
earned by the laborer has been less,
owing TO irregular and partial employ
ment, while the rate for piece-work has
diminished in nearly all cases"
Turning TO the reports of the work
ingmen's labor unions, which the COM
mission uses as testimony, il finds that
"six branches of unions report that
workmcn are bordering on starvation,
fifteen report reductions of wages from
IL to 90 per cent below those of twenty
five years ago. and twenty-siX branches
report that foreign goods in their locall-
ties have taken away their employment.
Every member of this royal commission
is supposed to have been a free-trader.
Thus it appears that while in Ger
many, under protection, wages were adj
vancing and general business was inn
proving, i'm Great Britain, under free
trade. wages were dropping and employ
ment was failing. The Sentinel should
ignore all facts and stick TO loud assump-
tion.

An Atchison man has mean way of

The Mckinley prices humbug is no

rails To continue them would be too
grave an insult to the intelligence Of
their readers, and too violent contra
diction TO advertisements The veneer
able farm-mortgage DOGGY has vanished
before the statistical columns of the
eleventh census. The oft-rcpeated story
of abandoned farms is shown by the
same authority to indicate the gradual
substitution of manufactures for the
older forms of agriculture, of better in
dustries for poorer one, as competition
with the virgin fields of the West has
made the cultivation of cereals unproiit-
able in the East. This process of trans
formation is now rs evident in the great
farming States of Ohio Indiana and Hi
nois as in the Eastern and Middle States.
The result is concentration and rapid
growth of population in industrial cen
tiers which furnish profitable, sure and
larger markets for local agriculture.
The history OF this movement, as record
cd i'm the eleventh census, will prove TO
be one Of the strongest defenses of the
American protective system.

The Living Issue

The intelligent and patriotic people of
this country are already too well
grounded in the history of their coun-
try, and too familiar with the teachings
of Washington Adams, Madison, JefTer-
son, Jackson, Webster, Clay and the
wisest statesmen OF the present day, TO
be misled by the assumption of the small,
though active, body of doctrinaireS, who,
however honest in their convictions, are
affiliated with the party of Free-Trade,
and united in the effort TO reverse the
American policy which has given pros
perity to the country for a century. and
to force us into policy which, when
tried, has invariably caused disaster and
wide spread ruin. The issue is again
upon us, and it must and will be met, not
with apology or evasion, but aggres.
sively, and with battle to the end. The
country is awakening to the Importance
of the issue, and already we hear from
the North and the South, the East and
the West the roar of the returning tide
which is to sweep from its path the false
prophets and their doctrines

The manufactures can get on without
protection good deal better than the
farmer and the wage carnor. If he is
the world outside, he must either close
his shop or bring his wages down TO the
level Of his foreign competitors. There
is no escape from one OF these two re-
suits. TO do either would be injurious,

TIE New York san disaDpr>ves of
the Michigan plan of choosing Presiden
tial electors by Congressional districts,
partly because it is wrong in principle
and partly because it doubts if the DEM
ocracy would profit by it, THE refusal, 4"
says the Sun, "of political party, strong
enough to have majority in the Lcgis-
ature, to appeal in the customary and
time -honored way to the voters of the
State, is Of itself an admission and con-
fession of weakness, and, so far from
lessening the opportunities of corrup-
ton, it may b. said TO increase them,
since it enables the corrupting party to
concentrate its forces upon the doubtful
Congress districts, free from the neces-
sity OF great efforts in the others" These
uggestions go beneath the surface,
whereas it is evident that We Michigan
Democrats jumped at the bait, without
stopping to think whether there might
be hook concealed in it.

COMMENTING on the action of the
Michigan Democracy, in regard to the
electoral vote theft, the Brooklyn EdglC
always Democratic, says:
"The bill providing for the choice Of
Presidential electors by Congressional
districts i'm Michigan has passed both
houses of the Legis ature. While the
change is i'm harmony with the Constitu-
tional provision investing States with
the right TO prescribe methods for choos-
ing electors, It is, nevertheless, an ag-
gressive employment of the art OF gerry
mander The better course for every
party is to rely on intelligent appeal to
public sentiment rather than resort to
questionable expedieEts of this descrlp-
tion.

ARRIVAL OF the HACKFELD.

The German bark H. Hackfeld, l.

morning, 157 days from Liverpool.
having left that port after putting
back April IL. She had good trip to
N. K. of the Equator; after crossing
the line squalls we're met with. From
there to the Horn she experienced
heavy winds and gales. Off Cape
Horn the vessel labored heavily.
The Hackfeld sighted the American
bark Indiana, bound for Astoria
The Indiana showed signs of distress,
her main and fore gallant. topmast
having been carried away. The bark
Hackfeld also sighted another vessel
flying the signals M. w. p. g., but
Captain Hilgerloh could not very dis.
tinctly e,es she was a long way off,
and may have been mistaken, but
made out that the vessel was painted
a yelIowish gray. These vessels were
signaled in lat. rs So and lat. SO 40
W. The heavy gales and rough
seas experienced by the Hackfeld
lasted several days, after the cassa-
ton of which light trade winds were
had to port. The Hackfeld brought
. heavy cargo of machinery and gen.
cral merchandise. She is consigned
to Messrs. Ii. Hackfeld & Co.
