More Witnesses for Protection.

Cumulative evidence is good evidence.
Right on the heels of the report Of Mr.
Peck, Of New York, as 10 the increase
10 wages of cmeloyes in that State under
the operations Of the Mckinley bill
comes the result of Investigations made
by Mr.. Horace W. Wadlin, chief Of the
Bureau Of Statistics of Labor in Massa
chusetts. His report shows that Of the
seventy five industries ex mined, wages
increased in 1891 over 1890. The total
amount paid In wages in the factories in
creased 2 65 per cent. In some indus
tries the increase is very marked; for in
stance, in wooden gools, 7l5 per cent;
in paper and paper goods, 40 per
cent; and in cotton goods, 4.67 per
cent. The average yearly earnings per
individual, without regard to sex or age,
employed in the industries examined
also increased. The value Of the stock
advanced 2.77 per cent. 10 some class
es of goods the increase of stock was
very large. wooden goods being S.74 per
cent. and worsted 10 96 per cent. A
significant thing shown by the report is
that the greatest increase in earnings
was in establishments employing skilled
labor. Democrats have industriously
sought to show how the Mckinley bill
would injure all classes of labor, but es-
pecially the higher grade Of working,nen.
These reports from New York and
Massachusetts ought to put quietus or
those orators who labor TO show that thu
condition Of the workingman is becom
ing worse and worse. 1t is well known
that investigations made in Massachus
etts into the condition of laboring people
are done in the most careful way by ex.
pert men. The reports that come from
that State, all things considered, are
probably, the best in the Union. tn,
results cannot be successfully refuted.-
Mr.. Peck is Democrat, appointed b,
Mr.. Cleveland and re-aprointed by Sen
ator Hill and Democrats cannot complain
of his yeracity. But Mr.. Peck coulC
not make facts tell any other story thar
they lid. The SUN and substance o
the whole matter is, that the bill ha'
worked we'll. No disaster has followed
its operation. This business men-peo
pie who have better practical knowl
edge of the workings of trade laws thar
politicians can possibly have-admi
without reference to party preferences
The laws of trade cannot be made tt
square by the rules sO-called Legislators
seek to make for them.
1t is about time, in the face of the evi
deuce that is piling up every day, t
stop this talk about the workingman be
ing ruined because Of the Mckinley
bill. The sensible laboring men vii
not believe it, for they know better

Mr.. George Tickuor Curtis, the most
eminent living Democratic authority on
Constitutional law. has publicly an
nounced that be will not sanction, even
by silence, the outrageous dogma that
protection TO American industry is un-
constitutional. This veteran Democrat,
whose constitutional opinions have been
quoted as authority by the Democratic
press for so many years, states his position
with all the clearness and force that the
English language can give to it. He
says:
In common with many other Demo-
Gratis, cannot follow the leaders of the
party in deuouncing Republican protec-
ton as a fraud upon the labor of the
great majority Of the American people
for the benefit of few; nor can sub
scribe to the doctrine that protective
tariff is unconstitutional. | have no
pecuniary interest in manufactures, bat
| know what protection has done and is
doing for this country. If il operates
for the benefit of the few, am not one
of that few; am one of the many; one
of the great majority benefited BY it, in
Guiding those who denounee it for sbe
sake of obtaining political power. If
che leaders Of political party assembled
in national convention for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for the Presiden.
cy and Vice Pr, siSency, chose to stu!ti-
fly themselves BY faAifying his DRY, they
cannot expect to be followed by others
who have ans habits Of Independent
shought and action"
This last disaster is one of the worst
that has yet befallea the Democratic poi
iticians. The facts Of the labor market
and Of the country's industrial develop
ment are all against them; and now they
are openly denounced for their dishol-
esty and lack Of patriotism by one of the
most prominent and most highly esteem
ed Democrats IN the United States. Mr..
Cleyeissd ssa bic followers may well
wonder What is coming next.

An organ of the Democracy says oil
President Harrison: "He cannot wipe
out the Republican record" That is
true-the Republican record cannot be
wiped out. 1t is written in imperisha-
bic monuments-in a restored Union,
in the emancipation proclamation, in the
constitutional amendments, in the re.
sumption of specie payments, and in
pension laws that provide for the declin-
ing years of every veteran of the war fol
the Union, in the Mckinley law, which
has made America industrially indepen-
dent; in the magnificent growth of oul
trade through reciprocity, in the dawn
ing revival of the American merchant
marine and the construction Of navy
that commands the respect of every for.
eign power. TIE Republican record
cannot be wiped out without celebrating
the history of all the progress the nation
has made in the last thirty years. That
record alone furnishes ample reason fol
Democratic defeat.
