Geographical Difference in American
Wages and Its ExDIauation


The reluctance of LABOR 70 emigrate
in obedience to the law of prices is
is strikingly illustrated in our own
country. So unwilling are our work
ingmen to follow the bait of higher
wages that the scale of wages in the
same trade is widely different in
neighboring cities. Thus in st. Louis
a mason gets Acc an hour, in Atlanta
2lc and in New York aud Baltimore
doc. The plumber in Chicago is paid
40c an hour. in Vicksburg 2215c. and
in New York soc. New York carpen-
tiers receive the highest wages in that
line paid in the country, San Fran
cisco painters are best paid, while
Santa Fe roofers and Galveston labor
ers are most highly favored in their
respective lines.
Here we have the proof that free
trade in labor does not equalize wages.
The free-trader may reply, "Neither
does free-trade in goods, for no tariff
walls stand between these cities"
Our answer to this is that in every
case of differing wage rates the labor
is of kind whose product cannot be
transported from place to place. A
mason cannot build a cellar in Atlanta
and ship it to st. Louis to compete
with the better paid masons there.
The plumber cannot lay water pipes
in Vicksburg for house in Chicago,
nor can the Lexington carpenter ship
the product of his labor to take ad-
vantage of the higher prices prevail.
ing in New York. Free.trade in these
products, therefore, is imperative.
But take labor engaged in making
transportsble articles which we aim
to protect by our tariff laws-cioths,
leather goods, hardware and the like
and see how strikingly uniform are
the wage rates in all the cities men.
toned. The slight variations which
do occur are accounted for in the cost
of shipment from one point 10 an
other. Here, then, we have the proof
of second law-viZ., that free-trade
in easily transportable goods, unlike
free.trade in labor, keeps wages in
the industries which produce these
goods at common level, precisely the
result that must come if trade in
these things was free between the
United States and foreign Countries

DON'T SMOKE

If you cannot get cigar that you
know was made in factory that is
clean-one that does not allow the men
to bite out the ends or dampen them
with saliva when making them. This
is a general habit of cigar makers.
Nine-tenths of the cigars are made in
this way, especially in Eastern shops
(where most or all of the cigars sold
from Saltwater are made). Just think
of having cigar in your mouth that a
Chinese Negro or some filthy white
man with a loathsome disease has
made. Just stop and think; perhaps
the one you have in your mouth now
while reading this is one of them--one
that some rat or scab has sucked on.
If you must smoke such goods get
your dealer to give you a cigar holder
with each. Yes, he can afford it..
Patronize home trade and you can
rest assured that the cigars are clean.
And remember, every one of those
cigars that you buy is just so much
money sent to the east and cOnse-
quently will never be seen again.
Patronize home markets and let those
fellows who handle eastern goods get
their customers from there.
Some say that they can buy cheaper
from those houses, they are not salts
fed with 21Sc profit on SC sale. They
say. OH good enough for farmers!
But think farmers like good things
as well as other people; and is not a
a farmers sc as good as any other!
Do not be imposed on. When they
offer you an eastern cigar don't take it,.
You will find home goods and lots of
them for sale by nearly all of our good
men--men that deserve your trade.
Respectfully yours,
