After one Of Professor George Gun

the wages Of his employees 20 per cent.
and had reduced their working time
half an hour day, it did not seem a. if
the increased duty on woolens had helped

He. however, mentioned collateral
help. He mad been making felt for glass
polishers and selling it for Sl.3o per
pound. but the Mckinley bill SO in
creased the consumption Of polished
glass in this country that he felt iusti-
fed in expending some $50,0 in i'm

quality at sixty cents per pound and
making more money than when he sold
it for 81. 80.
The foreign manufacturers paid the
increased duty and cut their prices here
