People who sii believe that the tariff
raises wages ought 10 keep their eyes
open now: for these nrr vcry interesting
days In which "a learn lessons In tariffs
and wages The papers are full Of re-
ports 81 eases where wages have been
reduced In protected industries which
got fresh dose Of protection from Dr,
Mckinley.
An interesting ease i that of the re-
duction Of wages and the consequent
strike In thr postcricS ~ Trenton. \. J.
Additional interest i given To this case
from the fact that the increased protec-
tion given % this industry in i,s3 was
followed in two years by reduction OF
wages. The recent layingo on OF Il higher
duty and reductionof wages following
soon after reads like twice told tale.
The first telling Of this story took
place beforc the Mckinley committee
last winter. Mr. Moses. one Of those
pottery manufacturers 81 Trenton. y.

The following extracts from his testi-
mony will show how Mr. Carlisle Dire "

The Rejected Policy q : Discarded

The Rejected Policy u : Discarded
Party.
The most important point involved in
this whole controversy is the disregard
OF the popular will manifested by the
Republicans The situation Is entirely
different from what il was in the first
session Of this Congress. Then il was
possible TO maintain that the people, in
electing Republican majority 70 the
House. had announced their desire to
see the Republican policy carried out,
and the force bill passed as feature Of
that policy. But since the first session
OF this Congress an election has been
held. in which the Republicans submit
ted their policy, the force bill included.
for popular approval or disapproval. The
verdict was so emphatically against
them that. II the House elected in
November had met on the first Of Janu-
airy. measure like the force bill would
have been rejected by vote of three
to one. According to all the rules
which govern legislation throughout
the country. the newly elected House
would have met on the first Of January,
and the Congress whose work the peo-
pie had passed upon at the polls would
have exercised no further power. This
is the natural and logical way Of in
terprcting elections as Is shown by the
fact that il is the way adopted in every
one Of the forty-four States in the Union.
II is only the survival Of an antiquated
system which allows an old Congress to
meet after q new one has been chosen.
The system has never worked any
particular harm because this second
session of a Congress has usually been
confined to the passage Of routi,l
measures like the appropriation bills
But for party which has just been dis
carded at the polls to attempt TO fasten
upon the country in January policy
| which the country rejected by an over
whelming majority in November is as
gross specimen Of usurpation as is to
be found in parliamentary annals-N
