AMERICAN WAGES ARE HIGH.
Hmt American Labor Is the Cheapest il
tho World,

iut American Labor Is the Cheapest in
tho World.
j. b. Sargent is one of the largest
hardware manufacturers in the United
States. He has Travelled around the
world several times TO learn as much as
possible about the needs OF foreign mar
kets. In the following speech which he
delivered at the hardware dinner in
New York he tells why American labor
is the cheapest labor in the world:
In agricultural tools and implements
at least we take half the trade Of the
foreign countries outside Of Europe. and
in all kinds of edge tools we take half
the trade of South America and of Asia.
But, gentlemen. my time is more than
gone and | will bring my remarks to a
close by saying that with the manufac-
lures of this country in their present
condition, with our machinery. with
our nnrivaled help, with our skilled me-
chanics, and with you, gentlemen of the
hardware and mercantile branches,
there is no reason why we should not
only hold our Owu in ON OWN country.
but take a large part of the trade of all
the world.
the American manufacturer. with the
American mechanic, has never seemed
to realize his own strength or the
strength of his own trade. We have. as
| have always said, the most skilled,
most willing, the most energetic and
.he most ambitious workers, wOrkmen
aud mechanics anywhere 10 be found.
Although II wages in tins country
the earnings of men per day--are very
much more than those of any other
country, and especially Of the countries
on the Continent. who are our competi-
tors, and although they earn so much
more per day, still their labor to the
manufactures is cheaper than that of
labOrers in other countries.
In other words. the labor cost of al
most any article Of American hardware
manufacture is less than the labor cost
1T the same article in any other conn
try. The fear which So many of us have
had of the pauper labor of England is a
matter unworthy of consideration. The

not Ia be realized:

TIT TEinuNE publishes in its local
columns this morning an item regarding
the Anaconda refinery. In this connec-
ton it might be well to call to mind the
reports that went out two and a half
years ago concerning the Boston and
Montana smelter. how it was asserted
repeatedly and positively that the smell
ter had been definitely located at Three
Forks. These assertions were made time
again. after the work of building had
been begun here. Even after owe half
a million dollars had .-bcrn spent upon
the plant here it was still asserted that
the Northern Pacific had bought the
Boston and Montana company of and
that their works would be built at Three
Forks. The TRIBUNE is not prepared to
say how much truth there is in this last
report concerning the Anaconda refinery.
But it sounds very much like the same
old song that was sung years ago and
whose cadences will be heard long after
the work OF construction has begun in
Great Falls.

They Cannot Find the Much Wanted

Facts for Protectionist Editors I" Pom
dcr-whcre Is That Tin"
In order to determine the much moot
ed question whether tin plates are yet
made in this country, except in IN ex-
perimental way, the secretary of the
Tin Plate Consumers association sends
out to the members of the association
the following circular:
In furtherance of the objects of the Tin Plate
Consumers association the directors respect
fully request the members of the association
to furnish monthly returns of oil American
made tin plates purchased by them, beginning
with the month of January, 1872; also stating
whether any American made tin plates have
been bought by them previous To the LIST of
same month. and, If so, what quantity, sizes
and kinds.
The names of those forwarding the informa-
tion will be regarded as confidential by the
directors, and will not be published. Respect.
fully yours, Robert GAM Secretary.
In response to this circular 10 replies
have been received, of which exactly 100
declare that the writers have not bought
any American made tin plate. Here are
a few samples of the replies received:

been able to obtain any American made tin or

II will not be denied that the great
agricultural industry lies at the founda-
ton of all others. and that its interests
have in recent years been Disseminated
against in our laws and made tributary
to many others. These determinations
have been cruelty aggravated by the i'm
position of some useless duties on farm
products under the pretense that those
duties increase the price Of products we
are obliged to sell in foreign markets,
while at the same time the farmer is as
sured that IL similar tariff on articles
manufactured in this country reduced
their price to the farmer. Now all the
great staple farm crops of this country
are too large for home consumption.
The large surplus is sent to foreign mar
kets. and the price of the entire crop is
fixed by the price in those markets.
Every burden that our government
throws on the farmer to which his for
eign competitor is not subject he must
bean alone: he cannot transfer it tu any.
one else. No binding Irvine. according
to the bureau of statistics. has been I'M
ported for several years, which shows
that the duty OF seven-tcnths of Il cent IL
pound is p%rohibitory. 1t brings no rev.
enue to the government.
OF the thi,ty-tive cOrdage and binding
twine factories in the United States we
are reliably Informed that twenty-nine

product of binding Irvine was 30. 900

tax placed "A burden of 5000 0 on the
farmers Of the United States without
counting perhaps AN almost equal
amount as the pr Gifts of the middlemcn

which the Irvine is made is now ON the
free list. Can there be Any excuse, then.
for allowing a trust to continue its exac
ions from the farmer III Nebraska or
elsewhere: The lifting Of 900. 900 taxes
from the users Of binding Irvine is moi
in itself IA mere trifle. but it is offered as
one even if u small step forward in the
effort now making by tariff reformers to
lift the great and crushing burdens
from the farmer which the protective
tariff has thrown upon him. | will re-
mind Mr.. Jones that the stamp act was

pauper labor of England, in the mana
facture Of hardware. as compared with
our labor, may be compared with the
cheap farm labor of India. where that
class of labor is paid ten cents per day,
as compared with our western farm
labor in the raising Of wheat. With
land as plenty and as cheap. with mil
lions Of acres which are not used in
India, but that are roarned over by wild
beasts. with land in plenty, and with
labor at ten cents per day-cheap labor
IN the usual acceptance of the term
still in this country we can produce
wheat more cheaply than they "a in
India. and yet we pay n dollar per
day for the labor.
In other words, the ten cent per day
labor in India. under all the conditions
that they have there, is not SO cheap in
the product obtained as is the one dollar
per day labor Of our western farmers.
And so. il we will only take courage and
go out before the world with u indus
tries. with our machinery, with our in
telligence and with our mercantile abil-
ity, we can conquer the world in indus
trial pursuits.
When ! look upon this intelligent. this
energetic, this ambitious company, it
seems strange that any one should think
that the industry and business ability of
any other nation on the globe can COM
pete with us in a free field and ia II fair
fight.
| have only to add that | know that
You gentlemen of the hardware trade
you manufacturers and merchants will
carefully consider the question that
must come before you-of the greater
freedom of trade; the question of plac-
ing ourselves with our raw material on
All equal footing with the manufac-
turers of England. Whenever we do
that we can certainly take care of our
selves in any quarter of the globe.

Business.

Business for the past week has been
fairly good in all lines of mel chs n
disc, particularly in seeds, grass and
field, choice early corn, and potatoes
There is considerable demand for
seeds at cash prices, but requests for
credit probably not so numerous as
in the past.
By reference to our market quota
lions 1t will be seen that cotton is
still on the decline. This staple will
probably go lower, as the different
cotton exchanges slate that as much
cotton has already come in sight, a.
the output of last year; and the crop
is not all in yet.
The demand for feed stuffs is fairly
good. The demand for country pro
duce is quiet. The market is sup
piled with bacon, for which there is a
fair demand at present prices.
There is notable decline in eggs,
which seems to indicate that furth-
er decline is probable. The low
prices, however, will probable cause
a visible increase in consumption
and demand which may possibly
cause a reaction.
Groceries remain unchanged. It
seems that the bottom has been
reached in sugars, hut there is no
visible sign of an advance OF present

The cultivation of cranbcrriss has
become one Of the most important in.
1ustries of Cape Cod. and mum Der %
those who are engaged in it have be
come wealthy through their enterprise
in the reclamation of formerly worth
less lands AMI their appropriation to
this use. The original cost Of the land
used for this cultivation is about TWEEN
ty-five dollar., an acre, and the expense
of constructing bog is ordinarily not
more than three hundred dollars A
yield of one hundred barrels of berries
to the acre i not uncommon. and these
sell at an averge price Of seven dollars
and fifty cents barrel, while in some
years the price rises to sixteen dollars
and over. as the cost per barrel for
picking is not much over one dollar
and fifty cents and the commission for
marketing not over eighty cents, it is
apparent shat the producer secures a
handsome profit. The gathering of the
crop geneI ally begins about the second
week il September The bog is lined
off into lows with Irvine, and the pick
era, men, women and children of all
ages, gather the berries from the vines,
working along the boys on their knees
Most of the berries are picked by hand,
but machine is sometimes used which
scoops the berries from the vines. An
average picker with the hands alone
can gather one hundred and eighty
quarts day, for which he receives

When Won smiled so sweetly on her,
Made her your peculiar care.

Saw that bright and lovely face

You have falter'd, she is walking
True and faithfully by your side.
Do you think 10 how Won wood her,
How the loving work W. done?
And you whispered, o 40 sweetiy,

Did you think when you had won her
You would tire where fairies ny?
Did you dream of only pleasure
With no cloud to dark your sky?
Have you ceas'd to cast around hcr

After Shooting Two Women He Sends .
Bullet Into His Own Brain
New YORK, Feb. 23.-Mrs Annie
Stevens, thirty-five years of age, was
shot in the shoulder and in the neck at
her home, 107 Allen street, Monday
avening. by her husband Henry
Stevens. The wounds are very serious.
Stevens also shot and seriously injured
Nellie Smith. twenty-six years of age.
who was in his wife's company at the
time. Two shots were fired at Miss
Smith, one taking effect in the mouth
and the other in the left arm. The
would-be murderer. thinking he had
slain the two women, then turned the
pistol upon himself and. with fatal
effect, the bullet lodging in his brain.
Stevens, who was thirty-eight years
old, was a bartender By occupation. Tie
shooting took place in the rooms occN-
pied by the family on the second floor Of
the building. Stories differ as to the
cause. The police, however, say that
the whole family was a bad lot, and
that rum mingled with jealousy at the
attentions Stevens wife received from
other men was at the bottom of the
tragedy. The injured women were
taken to hospital They will probably
recover.
