Wages in the United states,


There IL no reason whatever why
every man in the United States should
not bc willing to paw such rates of wages
and such prices OF commodities a. shall
naturally result from the free and unre-
stricted competition OF all our own
people.
When trade between q people is per-
fectly free, IS in this country, there
cannot, on the average and In the long
run, be higher wages paid to those en-
ployed In one industry than to those in
another. Wherever any one industry
gives indication that the compensation
paid to those engaged In 1t IL on the
average greater than the compensation
paid in other occupations, the industry
paying the higher compensation Is in
vsded by men from the occupations
paying less, and thus wages constantly
tend to IN equalization. THIS invasion
may continue to . point at which, by the
overlooking OF the labor market In the
favored industry, wages may finally de-
cline 20 . point lower than the average
rates prevailing in other industries.
Under the Democratic policy, II wages
fall in Europe our industries stand in
danger Of destruction. On the other
hand, while protesting to be the special
friend OF the workingman, the Demo
cratic party would set on foo: . policy
which would render impossible any in
cress in the wages of our own people.
1t 10 sometimes charged - . reproach
against the protective policy that In
some special protected industry wages
tend 70 . minimum. Whore this occurs
II 10 IN unerring indication Of the vicious
distribution Of industries, and one Of the
most distressing consequences OF their
mAledjustment. The remedy indicated
IL, not . reduction of the tariff, but .
wider liberalization and distribution Of
Industries, % that oil persons who want
employment may not be compelled to
seek II In the same occupation.
It is obvious that II Industries be
relatively few, with large numbers Of
men seeking employment, those men
must distribute themselves a. best they
may, and without intelligent adjust
ment, among the few industries in oper-
alton. II . larger number enter into
any special pursuit than are needed to
meet the demands Of production In that
pursuit, wages will inevitably decline.
The function OF . protective tariff, car
ried to its farthest limit, 10 to obviAts
the necessity for this. Its tendency IL
70 encourage the establishment Of o
variety of industries and 30 to Increase
opportunities for employment, not in
one or two but In . great diversity Of
occupations.

There 10 much amusement In Watching
