Nuts for Protectionists to Crack.

If, as protectionists tell us, wages de-
pend upon tariffs, then, as we have the
same tariff in all parts of the United
States, it would be natural to conclude
that wages should be uniform from
Maine to California. The Foundry
mems association, of Philadelphia, after
a considerable amount of correspond
ence, has compiled a tabulated state
ment of wages paid in foundries of the
United States printed in The Iron Age
of May 26, 1892. Some of the figures
are from country foundries, others from
car wheel, stove and malleable iron and
pipe shops, etc. According to this table
the average wages of molders vary from
$3.50 per day in San Francisco and Oak
land, Cal, to SLIGO in Hagerstown, Md.
A few of the other averages are: In
Pittsburg, So; Conshohocken, Pa,
$2.s316; Philadelphia, $3.50; Chester,
Pa, $40; York, Pa, $40; Reading,
g; Allentown, Pa, $1.90; Bloomsbury,
Pa, $1.75; Denver, 1926; New York and
Brooklyn, 3d. Chicago, $2.75; Charleston,
$3.50; Portsmouth, N. H., &. 25; Elmira,
N. Y, 81; Wilmington, Del, $1.S5. The
average wages of coremakers vary from
$3.50 in Leadville, Colo, and 1925 in
San Francisco, to $l.25 in Elmira and
Brockport, N. Y, and Selma, Ala; of
cupola tenders, from $3.50 in Oakland,
Cal, to 81 in several southern cities; of
clippers, from s.. so in Leadville, Colo,
to rs cents in Athens, Ga.
Will some kind and logical protection
list please explain these discrepancies?
Will he also inform us how it is that the
highly paid labor in eastern cities COM
petes with the poorly paid labor in
neighboring cities and in the south, and
turns out his product cheaper than the
poorly paid labor can turn out their
product? He might also give his reasons
for thinking that New York laborers
need protection from the pauper labor
of Canada and none from the pauper la
Dor of Maryland and why tariff wall
should not be constructed on the Allie
ghany mountains to protect the three
dollar-a-day laborer of Pittsburg from
the two-dollar-a-day laborer of Reading
and Harrisburg. Such apparent incon-
sistencies as these are daily occurring to
many untutored minds, and it behooves
the protectionist to be on the alert with
simple, straightforward arguments to
dispel them.
