AN EXCEPTION.
Massachusetts Should, at Least, BE Ex-
cepted When 1t Is Declared That Protec-
tion Increasps Wages.

Massachusetts Should, at Least, BE Ex-
cepted When 1t Is Declared That Protec-
tion Increases Wages.
All orthodox protectionists claim that
protection makes wages high and keeps
them high. This specious plea is put
forth as the main argument for protec-
ton, all the McKinleyits asserting that
protection is "a question of wages"
If it be true that protection raises
wages and maintains them at high
level, there ought to be abundant evil
dence ofsthat fact in great manufact-
uring state like Massachusetts, But
in that state, with its thousands of
factories of all kinds, wages have actu-
ally been lower under the high tariff
period since 1860 than they were at
that time. Proofs of this fact can
be found in the official report of Carroll
D. Wright for 1883, he being then labor
commissioner for the state of Massa-
chusetts. Mr.. Wright has for some
years been in charge of the United
States bureau of labor statistics, and
in that capacity he has issued several
volumes of statistics which are every
where recognized as entirely honest
and impartial. Republicans and demo-
Gratis alike accept the figures gathered
by him as being the most accurate that
are in reach. His work as labor statis-
tican of Massachusetts may, therefore,
be accepted as equally trustworthy.
In Mr.. Wright's report for 1883 he
gives the following figures as the week.
ly average wages prevailing in the vari-
GUS industries of Massachusetts in 1860
and in 1850:

were taking place. The Indians were
highly incensed over the interference,

of getting even. The dissatisfaction Of
the Indians has resulted from the tardi-

the matter of allotment of land and
the non-payment by the government
of several thousand dollars damages
occasioned by overflows in the con.

In spite of Mckinley.

The consular reports for April give
tables showing the exports of various
countries and cities on the continent Of
Europe for last October, November and
December, and compares the figures
with those for the same months in
1889. In 1889 exports from the conti-
nent to this country were unusually
large, but in the last three months of
1890, Notwithstanding the high McKin-
ley duties, these exports were upon the
whole larger than in the previous year.
Which means that our people want
certain goods made in Europe and a e

THE EMPEROR IN SCOTLAND.
An Affectionate Parting Between Him and
His GRANDMOTHER.

After luncheon Monday the emperor
bade farewell to Lord Salisbury, de-
claring that he was highly pleased with
his visit, and left Hatfield house for
Windsor Castle in order to bid adieu to
the queen. Upon his arrival at Wind
sor Castle the emperor was met by an
escort of the Life guards, who con-
Quoted him to the castle. The queen
met the imperial traveller at the en-.
trance to her private apartments.
Her majesty warmly embraced her
distinguished grandson, who remained
an hour in conversation with her At
the expiration of that time the emperor
took leave of her majesty The parting
seemed to show that the most cordial
sentiments animated both their majes'
ties. After leaving Windsor Castle the
emperor returned to London, The EN-.
press of Germany started for Folk.
stowe, where her children are staying.
The emperor, escorted by detachment
of Life guards, accompanied the EN-.
press to the railway station, and bade
her an affectionate farewell. The EN-
peror dined Monday evening at the
house of Lady Dudley with select
number of the aristocratic circle EN-
peror William started for Scotland
Monday night. Count Won Hatzfeldt
the staff of the German Embassy: the
prince of Wales, the duke of Con

1.-THE BALANCE OF TRADE"

How Protection Tries to Keep Money In
the Country-Exports of Com Greater
Than Imports-McKinley's Imported In
dustries.
During the fiscal year 1890 our ex-
ports amounted to SS57, 900, 900 and our
imports to 7S9, 900, 600, an excess of ex-
ports over imports of S6S, 900, 600. Ac-
cording to the balance of trade"
theory of the protectionists this differ
ence ought to have been returned to us
in gold and silver. Such, however, was
not the case; but, on the contrary, our
imports of gold and silver coin and bull
lion amounted to only SS4, 900, ,000 At
the sane time our gold and silver went
abroad to the value of So, 900, 900, or
SIS, 900, 900 more than came in.
Combining the excess of exported
merchandise and coin we get total ex-
cess of $50 900, 900, apparently unac-
counted for. This amount of values
went out of the country in $780, with
no visible return payment; and the idea
of the protectionists that we must
maintain high tariff in order that we
NAV keep down imports below exports
and get back gold and silver to make
up the "balance Of trade" dismally
| failed.
But how is this matter accounted for?
Did the foreigners cheat us in trade?
By no means 1t takes two to make
trade, says the old adage; and all the
separate transactions going to make up
our foreign trade were agreed upon by
| two shrewd merchants who know their
business, the American merchant GER
tainly not being behind the foreigner
in shrewdness and business judgment
How, then, is this great "balance OF
trade" against us to be accounted forF
The explanation is simple after all
Foreigners, especially the English, own
vast properties in America in the form
of government, state and corporation
bonds. The operations of the British
syndicates last year were famous, ane
it is we'll known that many mining
properties, many breweries and Other
manufacturing establishments have
fallen into the hands of foreign buyers
Now the larger part OF these millions
not vet accounted for. went to pay the
dividends on these foreign investments
An other large part went to pay freigh
to the owners of the foreign ships tina
carried away our our goods, for only
ridiculously small proportion OF ou
products went out in American bo'
toms Besides these two ways for at
sorbing the excess, there is third whic
deserve mention Thousands of Amel
leans go to Europe every year. Thes
travellers take with them drafts whic
are cashed at banks in Europe, and ou
goods must go to Europe to satisf
the holders of these drafts finally.
The export Of coin in 1889 was eve
greater than in 1890; and already in tf
present year we have sent out betwee
| sixty and seventy millions in gold, no
withstanding the higher protectio
given by the Mckinley law. With Il
increasing number of imported indu
, tries" which the Mckinley law hi
, forced to come here, while their ow
a ers live on the other side and take the
. profits there, will not the export of co
be greater in the future than ever b

railroad the engineer, Charles j. Hutch

child on the track 1t was impossible
to stop the train before reaching the
child, and he went forward to the pilot
in the hope of grasping and rescuing the
little one. A sudden lurch of the locomo'
tive threw him on the road-bed. The
engine knocked down and passed over
the child, who, when discovered by the
engineer under the moving train, waa

frame, caught the child and, holding II
safely, was dragged by the train until
it was stopped, The child was unhurt,

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS.


rrogress-ProtectIon and Opposition to
Inventions-what the People Must Do.
Every step of progress which the
world has made has met the opposition
of people with contrary interests The
building of parallel line of railroad is
always resisted by the old line which
wishes to enjoy monopoly and to
gather In profits at its own sweet will.
In 1860 Lord Dudley discovered the
method of making pig iron BY the use
Of coke Up to that time iron was
smelted with charcoal, and naturally
enough the charcoal men were up in
arms against the newly discovered
method. They defeated the introdrc-
ton of the coke method for seventr-five
years; and only in 1876 was the latter
put into successful operation.
The same spirit of opposition to in
vention and progress prevails in our
own day and in this so-called enlight-
ened land. In the government bureau
of engraving at Washington the rapid
steam presses are stored away. and
hand presses are used exclusively-a
because the employees of the bureau
were opposed to the steam presses on
the ground that they saved too much
labor. Not long ago it was found i'm
possible, for the same reason, to intro
duce in New York an improved machine
for making button holes
The great system of protection itself
is but another form of the same mar
row-minded spirit At the instance Of
our window glass manufacturers, for
example, an enormous duty Is levied on
foreign glass, since its free admission
would not permit them to pocket the
handsome profits which they now real
ize every pear. The cheapening Of glass
to the millions of Americans is prevent
ed by duties averaging over 100 per
cent, and by combination of the
domestic glass manufacturers. The op-
position of these men, very few in num-
ber, prevents any reduction Of the glass
duties; and he peopla go on paying the
extra tariff prices for glass for their
benefit.
Is it not the same thing as if team
sters should oppose the establishment
of stage line, or as if the owners OF
the stage line should oppose the build
ing of railroad? In each case it is a
selfish private greed setting itself
against the interests of the community
: for its own enrichment.
The loud outcries Of highly protected
interests, when their protection is about
to be reduced, need not alarm any body.
Their gloomy prophecies about closing
up their business need not frighten the
consumers of their goods. If we car
dispense with stage line in order tc
> have a railroad, surely we could dc
without few glass factories, if il
= should come to that, in order that al
the people may buy glass at reduc
ton of from one-third to one-half o.
present prices.
The thing for the people to say to al
these enemies of progress-whethel
buttonhole makers, government EN-
ployes, stage drivers or protected win
dow glass makers-is, stand out OF the
way of progress If you cannot give
us the best and cheapest service, stanc
aside and let others. take your places
Machines which save labor and law:
, which lower prices are the same thing
and we are going to have both

Crop Prospects.

A recent careful survey OF the crop
situation in the Northwest showed bet
ter prospects than for several years past.
There was an unusually excellent stand
of wheat in the No. hard districts Of
Minnesota and North Dakota. The rains
had been seasonable and the growing
temperature just right. There had been
no damage, except in limited and isolat-
ed cases, from winds, rains or insects
The Red River Valley, in which there
has never been general failure, prom
ised to beat it's best record, when pro-
duced 35, 600, 900 bushels of wheat There
was scarcity Of farm-hands, and from
s. to g.. so day anu board was being

THE BREAD OF EUROPE.

Furnish 1t.

Furnish 1t.
A report on the harvest prospects in
France and Europe has been received
at the state department from CONNER
cial Agent Griffin, of Limoges, France.
The National Millers' Association of
France, the report says, has just issued
an estimate founded on very carefully
collected data, of the probable wheat
harvest Of France and Europe for
1891. In order to meet the de-
mand of France until the
harvest is gathered in 1892, it
is necessary to see how much
wheat was yielded by the crops of 1890
and the quantity imported. The official
figures of the yield for 1890 given by
the minister of agriculture are 119, 1885,
s27 hectolitres. There is monthly
consumption Of 1900, 900 hectolitres, re-
quiring for years supply 1OS, 900, 600
hectolitre.5about 15,000,0 900 hectoiitres
are used for seed, so that the present
average need of wheat in France per
annum is 123, 900, 900 hectolitres This
year there must be added to this
amount 5000, 600 hectolitres which
is required for resolving where
the grain has been frozen or injured,
making a total for this year Of
128, 900, 900 hectolitres. The estimated
yield Of wheat for 1891 will be So, 779, 900
hectolitres This is the maximum esti-
mate; it will be 81 per cent. less than
the harvest of 1890. Russia, Tunis,
Egypt, Roumania and some of the Dan
ubian provinces will have fair har-
vest; in Hungary it will be below the
average this year. The estimates Civ
en- by the millers, the report says, are
optimistic. They desire to create
the impression that there is a better
supply than really exists; they want
to buy grain as cheaply as possible in
those fortunate countries that have OF
their abundance to export In 1890, H.
687,737 acres were sown with wheat
and the average yield was 1871 hecto
litres per acre: $4,000, 900 hectolitres
were used for seed. In conclusion the
report says: Not only France but al
Europe is looking longingly to the
wheat fields of the U. s. Last yeal
many hoped that South America woult
help supply the deficit, especially the
Argentine Republic, but to-day no men
tion is made of those countries; al
hope is built on our (U. S. harvest
