The German village" for which
the Exposition authorities granted
concession some time ago, will
occupy space 225 by $50 feet on
Midway Plaisance. The features of
the exhibit are a medieval German
town, with a market place and town
hall, which will contain the German
photographic museum. Around the
town will be farmhouses from diff
ferent sections of the German en-
pire occupied by natives. In a med
ieval German castle there will be a
restaurant presided over by caterers
from Berlin. Another interesting
feature of the town will be an an
Gent monastery establishment.
Then there will be large concert
gardens, in which about 5000 people
can sit at tables, while two German
bands will play. The construction
work has been in progress for sew
eral weeks at Frankfort-on-the-
Main. The contractors are Phillip
Holzmann & Co., the builders of the
imperial palace at Strassburg and
many other celebrated structures in
Germany.

Work and Wages.

The recent report of Carroll D.
Wright, the National Commission
er of Labor, contains some facts Of
interest bearing upon the Protect
ionists claim that high duties are
levied "to enable the people of the
United States to pay high wages"
The statistics of wages are taken
from the pay-rolls Of 125 textile and
glass establishments in this country
and in Europe. From these it ap-
pears that working on full time
for six months each employee in
the establishments named could
have earned, at the current wages,
in the northern district of the Unit
ed States $129, in the southern dis
trict of the United States 500 and
in Great Britain $103. None of
the mills ran the full time, and the
operators earned on an average 81 .02
per day in the North, 691 cents per
day in the South, and SO cents per
day in England.
A digest of the report says:
The total average income Of FAM
lies from all sources for different
countries for the number of families
for which budgets were obtained in
each country was, for the cotton
industry, S657.76 in the United
States, $365.94 in France, S3O2.11
in Germany, $556.14 in Great Bri-
tain and S358.56 in Switzerland.
In the wooden industry the average
family income from all sources was
$883.13 in the United States, 1924
81 in France, S275.99 in Germany
and $515.64 in Great Britain.
Now, if the tariff regulates the
wages as the Protectionists claim
the earnings in this country in the
same line of manufactures should
be uniformly high. All sections Of
the Union are under the benign in
huence of the same blessed tariff.
And yet the difference in the wages
at the North and at the South is
almost as great as the difference be-
tween wages at the North and in
Great Britain. A southern cotton
spinner earns on an average only
81 cents per day more than an Eng
lish spinner. The average total

earning capacity of the Southern
spinner for six months is only 80
more than that of the spinner under
free trade in England. The North
ern spinners earn more because they
do more work than either in a CIV
ell time.
IL this does not prove that skill,
productive capacity, the cost of liv-
ing and the supply of labor fix the
wages, and not tariffs, no demon
stration could make that truth
clear.
Another fact is that the wages
and earnings in free-trade Great
Britain are far higher (notice the
figures) than in protectionist Ger
many and France. The conditions
of labor and of living are nearly the
same in these Old World countries.
Comparisons between them are fair,
as comparisons with this newer
country are not. And they prove
that wages are higher and earnings
greater in the free-trade than in the
protectionist countries similarly sit
uated.--N. Y. World.

When men lay down as the basis
of tariff reform the great principle
that all taxes exacted from the tax
payer should be for public purposes
alone, they begin with simple
truth that commends itself to the
Judgment and self-respect of every
person trained in the tradition of
freedom. Such a person is likewise
ever ready to respond to the collat-
eral truth so weightily laid down
in the oft-quoted decision of the
Supreme Court that ''to lay with
one hand the power of the Govern
ment on the property of the citizens
and with the other to bestow it up
on favored individuals, to aid private
enterprises and build up private for
tunes, is none the less a robbery be-
cause it is done under the forms of
the law and is called taxation"
Upon these two fundamental po-
litical truths hang all the arguments
of the tariff-reformer, and, when he
plants himself firmly upon them he
may confidently appeal to the judg-
ment and manhood of the free vot-
er.
When the power of the Govern
ment is laid on my property to ex-
act my just quota of contribution
to the expenses of government, it is
taxation. When that power is laid
on my property to take any part of
it for bestowal on favored individu-
ais, to aid private enterprises and
build up private fortunes, it is no
longer taxation, it is robbery.
The first is tariff for revenue; the
last is tariff for protection. Con-
gresham Wilson.
