Reductions of Wages in England.

Notice Of reductions Of wages are being given
at Messrs Morewood's South Wales works, at
Llanelly. At Barrow the Naval Construction
and Armaments company have given notice Of
q 10 per cent reduction, and In the north Of
England the employers have given the Boiler
Makers and Iron Shipbuilders' society engaged
on the Tyne. Tees and Wear notice of a 10 per
cent. piecework reduction and 8 per cent. re-
duction on time wages, to come into effect in
October. The Wear joiners are also under no
tice of a reduction of one shilling per week in
wages.-Iron TT ade Circular Rylands).
None of our free trade contemporaries
will tell its readers of these reduc-
tons. Nor will it mention the fact
that this is the only country In the world
where wages have increased during the
past year, the only country that has
been able to meet fall in the price Of
manufactured goods by a rise in wages.

OF GOOD ALL ROUND
A Michigan Industry Developed
Under the Tariff.
HOW The DRAWBACK WORKS
Secretary Spauidinz Denies That PTotse-
ton Is Injurious and Promptly
Cites q State Case.

WAsaISGroS, ID. c., Oct. 2o.-Acting
Secretary Of the Treasury spauldlng
has written a letter to the editor Of .
mining journal IN Michigan IN response
10 recent criticisms on the drawback
privileges OF the tariff act. The specific
charge 10 that the allowances OF draw
back on imported material 10 injurious
instead of beneficial TO American inter
ests, and the case of iron ore Is cited as
proof.
Mr.. spaulding says: while the tariff
law provided for the establishment of
bonded smelling warehouses, 1t is evil
dent from the fact that no iron ore Is
treated IN such warehouses that no IN
ducement is offered by the privilege
which lead to the use Of foreign instead
of domestic IRON ore. The smelting es-
adjustments now operated under bond
are principally devoted to imported
lead aud sI.ver ore, but no iron ore IS
utilized by them. This seems TO meet
the complaint which is made against
the alleged discrimination in favor OF
foreign iron ore.
Benefit to Exporters
The drawback law operates for the
benefit of those manufacturers who
make articles for expectation. Certain
foreign materials may In some cases be
advantageously used in the process OF
making such articles. If the manufac-
turer were forced to pay the duty upon
such materials he could not compete
with his rivals in those countries where
IN such materials are produced. To
equalize his advantage with the for
eign manufacturer the law provides
that upon all imported material used
by him IN the construction of articles
for export he shall be entitled TO re-
fund of the duty paid, less per cent.
This ables him TO develop q special
branch of industry which he could
not otherwise MAINTAIN, land which gives
employment to workmen and laborers
In this country, and when incidentally
demands many materials produced at
home"
He closes his letter with long list of
articles of iron and steel now exported
with benefit of drawback and says the
list is receiving conAderab BILE accessions.

"Where is the large party?" inquired
the conductor, with wide-open. aston
