Profits of Manufacturers.

An interesting report has just come to
hand from the labor bureau of Massa-
chusetts showing the net profits in the
manufacturing industries of that state.
Our Free-trade friends will not find
much comfort in the results of this in
vestigation, as it shows the net profits to
be under per cent, or less than per
cent. on their capital. The following
comments from the Chicago Tribune
will be found most interesting, not alone
because of the lesson conveyed, but the
source from which it comes:
The manufacturing capital of Massa-
chusetts pays 6.45 per cent. per annum
If Protection We're withdrawn how
could it continue to pay that profit or
any unless there was radical reduction
of wages and of price of materials? The
effect of Free-trade with cheap-labor
Europe would be to snuff out the bulk
of the manufacturing establishments at
once.
Those managed by the men Of the
greatest business ability and experience,
and which are paying best now, would
live longer, but they could not survive
when competing with foreign rivals who
paid their workmen but half the wages
paid here, unless their hands consented
to work for one-half less and to live cor.
respondingly poorer. When the work,
ingmen came down to the European
wage scale, then the mills would reopen
gradually.
AS for the graded income tax which
the Democrats propose to impose tc
make good the loss of revenues caused
by letting in competitive European goods
free, the manufacturers would divide
the loss with their workmen. and the
latter would thus have to bear double
burden as the result of the victory Of
the Democratic policy Of Free-trade
cheap labor and income tax.

Free-trade Hostile to Labor.

the English parliamentary commission.
inquiring into the propriety of shorten
ing the hours of labor, said:
beg to express my dissent from para
graph S2; it contains specified repudia-

Shorter hours of labor do not and cannot
compensate nation for increased cost
of production or diminished output.
They (the Protectionists) tax the commu-
nifty with dearer goods in order to confer
special advantages on the workingman;
they protect him, and that is direct re-
