"DIFFEREscEN Wages FARCE.


Here is food for reflection for the
farmer who still thinks it 10 money in
his pocket when he votes for ''protec-
ton" If he~will ponder this fact
sufficiently he will solve the whole
tariff problem. 1t is quoted from
"Recent Economic Changes" by
David A. Wells:
Indian corn can be successfully
and has been extensively raised in
Italy. But Indian corn grown in the
valley of the Mississippi, n thousand
miles from the seaboard, has been
transported in recent years to Italy
and sold in her markets at a lower
cosL-than the corn of Lombardy and
venetia, where the wages of the
agriculturists are not one third of
the wages in the United States for
corresponding labor. And one not
surprising sequel of tais is that IT.
600 Italian laborers emigrated to
the United States in 1885,"
In other grains and food products
and in cotton it is the same. The
81 and 50 and SO day labor of the
United States completes with the
cheap labor of Europe and Asia and
often undersells it in its own mar
kets. Thus wheat can be produced
in Dakota, where wages are 50 day
at 40 cents per bushel, though it
cannot be produced in Rhenish Prus-
STA for less than 80 cents; but wages
there are only So per month. AS to
England, her wheat growers have
been driven out of existence by our
dear labor and India and Russia's
cheap labor.
Such facts as these must settle
the question forever with rational
minds as to whether or not wages
determine cost of production. They
did not do SO fifty years ago, when
high wage Europe was supplying
low wage Asia with many manufac
tured articles. Still less do they do
so now, when with modern machine
ry and methods, one man or a boy
will produce as much as ten men
fifty years ago. What folly, then to
say that ION all imports Of American
labor there should be levied duties
equal to the difference between
wages at home and abroad" And
yet this is the serious declaration
Of the Republican party in its Min
neapolis platform, and it poses as
the party of Nineteenth century
civilization.
These Republicans persis in shut
ting their eyes to the facts. If Nc
Kinley had consulted tables of la
Dor cost in different articles in diff
ferent countries and had made tariff
rates only high enough to put Amer
lean and foreign goods on par in
our markets as to labor cost, his
rates would not have been one tenth
as high as now. But instead of
consulting figures he asked the man
ufacturers how much duty they
wished, and as Congressman Will
son has shown practically left blanks
for manufacturers to Gil out; and
they often made duties higher than

which Horn?

Every protection paradox presents
sharp-horned dilemma.
If the tariff is not tax how can
it produce revenue?
II taxing an article tends to make
it cheaper how does it enable the
manufacturer to pay higher wagesi
If the tariff has raised wages, thus
adding to the cost of production, how
can prices be lower?
When the price of farm produce
went up under McKinleyism how
could the cost of living go down.
Now that the price of foodstuffs is
going down is the cost Of living ris-
ing again?
If our imports have increased, as
the Protectionists now boast, how
has the tariff secured the home mar
ket to our manufacturers or protec-
ted wage-earners against the compe-
tition of pauper labor abroad?
If our manufacturers can, as the
statistics show, produce many staple
articles more cheaply than they can
be made abroad why do they need a
high tariff?
If high tariffs make high wages
why are wages in Germany and in
France so much lower than in Eng
land?
Finally, as we have often asked
without an answer, if the foreigner
pays the duty why did Mckinley
leave the treasury so short of money
These questions present several in
teresting dilemmas. Which horn OF
them will the Protectionist choose?

The Way we Got Left

Our neighbor Fairmont, has be-
gun to pave her streets with fire brick.
We hoped to be ahead in this en-
terprise. We have done more talk
ing, but less doing, it seems, than
Fairmont.
The logical order of things would
be to put down system of sewerage
and then pave the streets in q per-
manent manner But we got a back
set on sewerage at the recent cleo
tion. We wont recover from that
for five years to come, and then will
realize that we have just counted
out five years of progress.
The defeat of sewerage is dis
couragement all round. 1t will de-
lay paving and every other public
improvement.
Nevertheless we will have sewer
age and brick paved streets some
of these days before you know it
We'u be happy get you bet.

THE LAND OF sHUNsHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never Clonded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort,
by reason OF the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory $500 feet in
altitude above sea-leyei, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-dcor exertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing.
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
MonteZuma, islocated at these springs.

WILL BET on GROVER.
A Betting Syndicate Formed at Buffalo
BY Sports.

BUFFALO, Oct. pa local syndi-
cate has been formed of Democratic
politicians and sports, with a CAPT
tai Of 100000, for the purpose of
taking bets on Harrison that may
be offered by Republicans. The
combine is headed by Pat Lyons,
who in 1884 won barrels OF money
on Cleveland's election. and nearly
went broke in 1883, when he bet
the same way. Now he says he will
wager all he can rake and scrape
again on Grover. AS far as known
only two bets have been made on
the outcome of the Presidential cleo
ton, each for $500. One is register
ed at the Hotel Iroquois, while the
other is deposited in the safe at the
Tiff House. The latter was made
between well known merchant and
theatrical manager,

The cooked statistics of Commits
sioner Peck, of New York, have excl
ted inquiry which is panning out re-
suits unsatisfactory to the advocates
of McKinleyism. Arithmeticians
have put his various statements to-
gether and shown that they do not
agree. They show, if anything that
wages have fallen in New York in
the protected industries. He got his
figures by taking the unverified state
ments of protected employers, who
whooped up the wages. They made
the best show they could. But now
the figures are being gotten from the
employees, and they tell different
story. There has been, it is found,
a standstill or decline in wages in
very many of the industries where
Peck found an increase. AS New
York's population is increasing all
the time there is, of course, an in
crease every year of the total Of man
ufactured products, but the increase
is greater in the unprotected than in
the protected industries.

Mr.. Harrison has concluded that
the positions which his men, Tom.
Carter, and Judge Crounse left the
first to become chairman of the re-
publican National committee, and
the other to become the republican
candidate for Governor of Nebraska
shall not be filled until after cleo
ton. This enables him to use the
vacancies as bait during the cam
paign, and after his defeat he can
show Crounse and Carter that he
appreciates their efforts by giving
them their old places.

Since Mr.. j. Nelson Wisner, Re-

the Second district, is posing as a
friend of American labor, the follow

Martinsburg, is interesting. 1t is
taken ver6atim Ell literdtim from the
Wheeling Intettigencer of February
IA, 1884:
THE MARTINSBURG POST-OF-
FICE.
Mr.. EVANS AND THE CHARGE THAT HE
is KNIGHT OF LABOR
To the Editor of the Intelligencer.
SIR: Enclosed please find copy of
resolutions, with request TO publish
the same in your paper.
By ORDER OF ASSEMBLY.
MARTINsBURG, February 6, 1884.
SANCTUARY OF FRANKLIN
LOCAL ASSEMBLY 1878,
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
At a regular meeting held at their
ball at Martinsburg, w. Va, on Tues
day night, February 5, 1885, the
aforesaid Assembly unanimously
passed the following resolutions and
requested the same to be published
in the Journal Of United Labor, the
Wheeling Sunday Ne,cs- Letter, the
Intelligencer and the Euening Jour
nal:
WHEREAS, it has come to the at
tention of the Assembly, through the
public press, that our worthy broth
er, George F. Evans, who has been,
by the President of the United States,
appointed postmaster ofMartinsburg,
W. Va, and has been accused of be-
ing Knight of Labor as though it
were crime to be a member of so
noble an order.
1t is therefore resolved by this AS
sembly that Mr. j. Nelson Wisner in
bringing this charge against our
brother, has struck blow at an or
ganization, which is recognized by
all fair minded men, as an institu-
tion worthy the respect Of the Amer
lean people, and one that this Assem-
bly, considers an insult to any work.
ingman in this broad land, and
whether his name is enrolled upon
our banner or not, and the person
who made the charge should be held
in contempt by every workingman
in this country.
By order of the Assembly.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Wisner's
professed friendship for American la
Dor organizations has not been APP
preciated by organized labor in his
own locality, where they know him
best.
