The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1892-08-20

It for the first time when he had seen

it for the first time when he had seen
the statement in print.
Coming back to the chief line of
his argument, Mr.. Carlisle said that
he would endeavor to show that the
prices of commodities in the United
States whether by wholesale or re-
tail) had been
ENORMOUSLY INCREASED
by the passage Of the Mckinley act
and by the agitation which had pre-
coded it, and that the cost of living
in the United States had increased
| (during the period covered by the in
vestigation) more than 1886, 900, 000
He proposed to show in the second
place that the rates of wages in 10
unprotected industries in the United
States had increased during the per-
iod covered by the investigation,
while the rates of wages in l5 of the
highly protected industries in the
United States had fallen since the
passage of the Mckinley act.
The Is general occupants in I'M
protected industries were bakers,
blacksmiths, bricklayers, cabinet ma
kers, carpenters, common laborers.
farm laborers, machinists, masons,
iron moulders, painters, plumbers,
stone cutters, tailors and tinsmiths.
The average increase of wages in
these occupations had been 75-100 of
l per cent.
The Is highly protected occupa-
tions were bar iron, boots and shoes,
cotton goods, cotton and wooden
goods, cruicible steel, flint glass,
green glass, lumber, machinery, pig
iron, steel ingots, steel blooms, steel
rails, window glass, and wooden goods.
In these occupations the rates Of
wages bad fallen (since the McKin-
ley act) an average of S9-l00 Of per
cent, in the Is unprotected indus
tries.
Mr.. Carlisle then went into de
tailed statement as to the cost of i'm
ported goods and as to tin plates.
On the latter point he quoted Mr..
Aldrich as saying that the people of
the United States had paid to the
Welsh tin plate manufacturers in
1891, rs cents per box more than
they had been paying before that
time. That was undoubtedly too
true.
The Mckinley act had been bo-
nanza to the Welsh tin plate manu-
facturers. 1t had enabled them to
take from the people of the United
States many millions over and above
their normal profits. The Mckinley
act had paid, not to the importer, not
to the government, not to the dealers,
but directly to the Welsh tin plate
manufacturers, $4,629,750, or more
than half the value of the plant of
the sos in plate works of Wales.
The Mckinley act, as to tin plate,
had proved to be not for the benefit
OF the American consumer, but Of
THE WELSH MANUFACTURERS.
Mr.. Carlisle closed his speech with
some specific statements as to wool
en- goods, and with the assertion that
American wool manufacturers would
be willing to give up the tariff on i'm.
ported wooden goods if Congress
would only give them free wool. He
spoke for one hour and forty minutes,
and was listened TO with close atten-
ton and apparently deep interest by
Senators on both sides of the cham
Der.
Some fancy the charms of the lily-white
maid,
OF ETHEREAL form and languishing eye,
Who faints in the sunshine and droops
in the shade,
And is always ''just ready to die"
But give me the girl of the sunshiny face,
The blood in whose veins courses
healthy and free,
With the vigor of youth in her move
ments OF grace,
Oh, that is the maiden for me!
She is the girl to ''tie to- for life
The sickly. complaining woman may
be an object of love and pity but she
ceases to be "thing of beauty
worn down by female weakness and
disorders, subject to hysteria and a
martyr to bearingdown pains. DR..
