The CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION

Success of the Fight Against Oppressive
n"Natioh Monopoly Getting Hard
Knocks. ~
"A little over four years ago, when
Grover Cleveland sent to conorase hi,
now famous tariff reform message, there
was no organized agitation against the
imposition of the tariff taxes which
even then, before the Mckinley bill
was c~oncocted, lay with oppressive
weight upon nearly every industry and
upon nearly every article of general
consumption by the people. Here and
there a bold champion of fair nlav
raised his voice against the flching
system, and there was an undercurrent
Oh resentment against it, but no great
manifestation was made. When Presi-
ueht Cleveland sent in his pluckv chal-
ienge to the supporters of high taxes
ana placed himself at the head of the
sentiment demanding reform, tbe s;tu.
alton rapidly began to change; an, as
was sad at that time, the whole conn.
Try was transformed into a debating
school In the progress of the debate |
since 1883 the allied forces of mononolu
nave received some pretty hard knocks
and have lost ground steadily.
very much of the success of the fgh,
agalnt oppressive taxes has been due to
tfe systematic publication of the Main
facts about the tariff question, Tho
newspapers have spoken boldly. Men
wlo mad been handicapped in their
businesses for years by the tariff came
out and'said so. When the effect of tbo
iiigh tariff taxes upon different produc-
i've occupations came to be considered
something like the full effect of such
legislation could be realized, since
1903 the Reform club of New York has
oeeh publishing the results of coref,1
Investigations as to how far each of tbo
various Leading industries of our conn
Try nave been affected by the tariff
and In what manner. Besides av.

NEW SANITARY WARE TRUST.
Tariffs and Prices Go Up While Workmen'I
Wages Go Down,

Tarths and Frlces Go Up While Workmen'a
Wages Go Down.
When Mckinley raised the duties on
sanitary pottery ware from 55 to 65 and
20 per cent, by putting duties on pack
ing eases, the seven manufacturers ut
Trenton, with one at East Liverpool,
O., and one in Baltimore practically
had n trust, though each firm owned its
own factory. Since duties were in
creased the manufacturers, some of
whom have made millions in a few
years, cut wages about IS per cent.
after a long strike against a reductio n
of 10 to 40 per cent The method of D.
Ing business by Understandings" ,or
agreements" is not entirely satisfac-
tory to the manufacturers and, on NJ ay
2s, 1892, five of the big manufacture rs
at Trenton incorporated in n com
pany with a capital of So, 900, 900. Those
in this combine are the Empire Pottery,
the Enterprise Pottery, the Delaware
Pottery, the Equitable Pottery and the
Crescent Pottery.
Column advertisements of the stock |
of this new trust in New York papers, |
say These five companies manufacture
and sell about rs per cent. of the entire
output of the famous sanitary plumb |
ing ware made in this country. The
earnings for 1891 will pay the divi-
dends OF the preferred stock Is per
cent and over Is per cent on tie com
mon stock, after providing for the ex-
pensc of management. The vendors
express the belief that the economies
and improved system in the conduct Of
business that can be put in operation
by the proposed combination of these
companies will still further increase
the net earnings"
The men who had their wages re-
duced in 1891 must relish this kind of
talk. Consumers who are acquainted
with the Economics of trusts" will ex- :
pect soon to receive another revised" ,
price list Of sanitary ware, similar to )
the one issued in April, 1891, advancing :
the price of goods.
These same manufacturers also an d
bounced that the manufacture of these Il
requires skilled labor of the high
'st grade" 1t might be supposed from
his declaration that these highly t
killed laborers We're receiving un- {
Usually high wages. In 1883 the bureau !

statistics of the earnings of |

The commissioner said: "Manv of

the worllmen have submitted to several
reductions since 1888, making great in

close at least II of these potteries, or
IN some other way to throw out one
fifth of these men.
The dependence of wages upon tariffs
Is demonstrated with remarkable clear
ness in this industry, While duties
have been going up wages have been
gong down. 1t is the object of a pro-
teetive tariff, as explained in the Min
neapolis platform, to levy duties on inn
ported articles equal to the difference
IN wages at home and abroad. Tho

The coming Grand Army encam pmen

be the largest ever held, and more old
soldiers will be in line than at any time
since the close of the war. Particular in
terest is being aroused from the fact that
the g. A. r., have never visited Washing
ton since the grand review just before be-
ing mustered out to service. 10 add to
the enjoyment of the encampment a series
of very cheap excursions have been ar
ranged to Richmond and the historic bat
tlefield of Virginia.
AS tickets will be sold to Washington
with a limit of Oct, 18th returning it will
enable parties to make a good long visit IN
the east and start home in time to stop in
Chicago and take in the worlds fair dedi-
cation ceremonies which will occur Oct,
18th and 18th. At the same time there
will be an encampmrn and grand review
of the national guards from every state

FALL FESTIVITIES.
st. Louis Extends a Cordial Welcome to All.

The city of St. Louis has become famous
the country over through the agency of
her annual Fall Festivities, and from that
source has gained the sobriquet of the
Carnival City of America"
For the season of 1892 all previous efforts
in the line of entertainment will be
eclipsed. The great st. Louis Exposition
will throw its doors open to the public
Wednesday, Sept T. and will continue to
entertain and delight thousands during a
period extending over forty days. One of
the chief attractions announced by the
management is the engagement of Colonel
P. S. Gilmore and his world-renowned
band, one hundred strong. The illumina-
ton by gas and electricity of the streets
will extend over larger area and be on
grander scale than any similar exhibition
ever attempted in the world. The thirty
second great St. Louis Fair and Geological
Gardens, Oct. 3 to 6, whose fame has
been heraded broadcast, will be one
of the main attractions of that week,
and, as has been customary for
the last thirteen years the Yelled Prophet
will again appear in his favorite city, on
the evening of Tuesday, October f. The
hotel accommodations of st. Louis have
been materially increased since last year
and strangers are assured of hospltable
treatment.
Inc Missouri racine railway WlCu us

states of Missouri. Kansas, Nebraska,
