WORK N WAGES,

The recent report OF Mr.. Carroll d.
and this country is hard nut for pro-
tectionists to crack. Figure as they will
they can't make it appear that the work
of operatives in Europe is harder or less
: that protection has exalted the condition
B of the laboring masses in the United
States over that of wage carriers in the
old country. Mr.. Wright took his sta
t~istics from the pay rolls of 125 textile
and glass establishments in this country
and in Europe. They are approximately
correct and must be so accepted in meas
uring the work and wages of employees
on both sides Of the Atlantic.
From these it appears that working on
full time for six months each employe in
the establishments noted could have
earned at the wages received $50 in the
northern district of the United States,
800 in the southern district, and SOB
in Great Britain. But it appears that
none of the mills ran on full time, and
operatives earned Sl.O2 per day in the
north; G9ls cents in the south. and &C
cents per day in England.
Now, if the tariff regulates wages, as
protectionists claim, the earnings in this
country in the same line of manufactures
should be uniformly high, for it will be
conceded that all sections of the country
are under the influence of the same tariff.
And yet we find by Mr.. Wright's report
that the northern employe gets better
wages than the southern laborer. Com
menting upon this the Minneapolis
Times says: "A southern cotton spin
ner earns on an average 81 cents per
day more than an English spinner. This
average total earning capacity of the
southern spinner for six months is
only So more than that of %spinners under
free trade in England. The northern
earn more because they do more
than either in a given time. {
IF this does not prove that skill. pro- {
capacity, the cost of living and
the supply of labor fix the wages and {
the tariff, no demonstration could :
that truth clear. ,
Another fact is that the and I
earnings in free trade England are far
nigher-as shown in the figures above
Iuoted-than in protectionist Germany
France. The conditions of labor and 4;
IF living are nearly the same in these 6
World countries. Comparisons be- ,
.ween them are fair, as comparisons with )
newer country are not. And they /;
prove that wages are higher, earnings .
in the free trade than in the pro- )
ectionist countries similarly situated" :
The claim of protectionists will suffer i
till more when the density of popula- >
in the respective countries is taken .
nto consideration. This cuts a big fig !;
Ire in the matter of wages. Great

Jnited States with her ~ souls to the r

TnE Fargo Argus is responsible foI
the following, which the TRIBUNE com
mcnds to the notice of Montana republi-
can: Senator Sanders is showing a
letter received from "A prominent republi-
can in Montana which says that in order
to save the state from going bodily over
to the democrats Mr.. Harrison should
not and Mr.. Blaine should be nominated.
The writer has nothing to say against
Harrison, but aflirms that with him at
the head of the ticket, the government,
the Legislature, the congressman and the
United States senator will be inevitably
lost to the republican party. A good
deal Of the same kind of talk is heard
from the Washington and Oregon repub-

MANUFACTUREs.IN THE SOUTH.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly for
June contends that manufactures in the
south will open a wider field for negro
labor and largely assist in the solution
of the negro problem. And then comes
Lewis II. Blair of Richmond, Virginia,
saying sit is vain to look for manufac-
lures in the south. Manufactures flour
ish only in IA cool climate. Manufactur-
ing has, for years. been diminishing in
the south, Notwithstanding press reports
to the contrary"
This testimony coming from a south
ern mar is not without value When
the Mckinley bill was under discussion
it was claimed that it's passage meant
the establishment of large manufactur-
ing enterprises all over the south. Some
were in%augurated. particularly in the
iron districts, but w don't hear much
about them now a-days. Like the tin
plate factories they are more numerous
and prosperous upon paper than upon
solid ground. Climate has nothing to
do with manufactures. 1t is the tariff
that does the business.
The south can manufacture cotton and
IRON as well as can the north. but the
condition of the home market forbids
the establishment or continuous opera
ton of such manufacturing enterprises.
They are run to some extent but;accord-
ing to Mr.. Carroll ID. Wright's tables,
employees receive less wages than:do their
brother laborers at the north and this
difference in wages enables southern
manufacturers to worry along without
running into bankruptcy.
1t is true the south is essentially an
agricultural region. That industry will
always flourish there, but it does not
follow that with a favorable tariff that
section cannot combine manufactures
with agriculture in such proportion as
will promote the upbuilding of powerful
and prosperous communities. A change
in tariff, not climatic, conditions will
bring this about.

GOV. TOOI.E.

The endorsement of the administration
of Gov. Toole by the county convention
will not fail to receive Il like endorsement
from every citizen of Montana who loves
honesty and purity in government. Gov.
Toole has not disappointed his political
friends. He was always regarded as a
conscientious, Industrious, and energetic
official. His record in congress stamped
him AS a gentleman who could be relied
upon to promote the interests of Mon
tana, and his career as governor has
added emphasis to the opinion then
formed Of him. His political enemies
accord him sincerity Of purpose and
honesty in endeavor, and while it is pos
sible he has made mistakes they could
be charged only to error of judgment.
The endorsement of his official acts is a
just tribute to the man and a deserving
need of praise to Montana's chief mag
iStrate.

A FRIGHTFUL ORDEAL.

How Anaxonian CAnnibals Qualify for
On the lower Amazon dwell the cam
nibal Butocudos. who distort their
features with the biggest ornaments of
q certain kind known. In babyhood
both men and women have their lower
lips and the lobes of their ears pierced
with holes. in which arc thrust pieces
of wood. As they grow older. says the
Philadelphia Press, these wooden adorn-
ments are made bigger and bigger until
an adult ordinarily has ear lobes that
that projects six inches or more beyond
the nose. One must suffer to be beau
tiful. as the French say. and such is the
memorable fashion among those an
thropophagi In that country young
man who desires to take a wife must
first submit to a frightful ordeal. He
draws over each arm up to the shoulder
loose armlet woven Of palm leaves.
Then, under supervision of his elders,
he plunges both arms as far as he can
into a nest of fierce, devouring ants
The insects at once attack the intruder,
of course. and according to the terms
Of the trial he must stand without NOV
ing for an hour, submitting with abso-
Lutte stoicism to the bites Of the enraged
creatures. If he endurcs the test he is
entitled to the bride, otherwise he must
wait for a year and then undergo it
again. There are still tribes descended
from the ancient Incas which bandage
the heads of their children so that they
assume a conical form Funnily enough
the brain does not seem tn suffer aDy
injury from this treatment.
