wages here almost to the European level
when productper Garner is considered2
1t Is by checking immigration aud not
goods, then, that we may hope to main
tain higher wages here-if they really
are higher. And now You would think
all Of the generous and sympathetic mil
honaire friends of labor would at once
begin to make laws to stop immigration.
No; such Is not likely to be the case. In
fact these good manufacturers are likely

as hard as they fight for duty on i'm

migration here to keep wages down. and
It Is their boast that protection en-
courages immigration.
The New York Tribune said on this
same day Sept. 22). Protection has
been our policy for thirty years. Ten
millions Of aliens have been brought
from Europe and supplied with remu-
nerative employment under the stimu-
lative effects of a tariff policy" The
same New York Press also boasts edito-
rally that cur high tariff policy Is
draining Europe of the cream of her
laborers, and that the monarchs there
are doing their best to keep subjects at
home. What is the poor laborer to do?
Shall he continue to place his trust in a
party that for thirty years has been ex-
perimenting in the wrong direction to
raise wages, and that wiz not adopt the
solution now that it comes from another
direction? Shall he form new party
to stop immigration, or does this big
and thiclzly settled country have need
of the Drawn squeezed out of the mon-
arches of Europel How would it do to
take duties of of the necessaries of life
and raise wages at once by increasing
their purchasing power? Perhaps after
all, it is less and not more interference
with trade and commerce that is in the
interest of labor.

TOBACCO from rorung- 1t csd not create
a wider market, nor even the longed for
home market, for the trash VIII all have
to be exported or used for manure. And
it did not raise prices.
The manufacturer being robbed Of
$3.50 a pound on his wrapper leaf by the
folly of the tobacco growers illusion.
gets square with the tobacco grower by
cutting down the price for his fancy
filters to bare cost
Sumatra has become an absolutely es-
sential factor for the cigar industry.
Otherwise no manufacturer would be
fool enough to pay 81 for Sumatra
If he could get an equally good wrapper
produced at home for fifty cents a
pound But we cannot produce any
thing like Sumatra, for neither Con-
necticut. Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania nor Wisconsin has got the
soil or climate of the tropical isle of Su-
matra- Neither would our importers be
such fools as toagain import from %, 900
to 30, 900 bales of SuInatra a year, as they
did when Sumatra came in under low
tariff But somebody has got to pay the
raise in the Sumatra duty The i'm
porter does not pay it The manu-
facturer pays it, but he wants to IN
load the expense ON others, and natu-
rally.
At first he thought of the jobber and
dealer, but both kicked and refused to
share the higher expense of the McKin-
ley tariff. The consumer-that is, the
smoker-kicked likewise. and refused to
pay six cents for his nickel or eleven
cents for his dime cigar. There Were
but two other classes left to share the
expense of the Mckinley tariff, the cigar
maker and the tobacco grower. And
both are being made to pay the penalty
of the Mckinley tariff-the cigar maker
by reduction of his wages and the to-
bacco grower by squeeze in the price
of his product. Wrapper leaf we cannot
grow to, replace the Sumatra. But we
can grow exceedingly fine binders and
filler leaf.
Under the low tariff the importer was
willing to pay a good price for binders
and very good and even high price for
fine filler leaf. All our domestic fancy
filters commanded under the low tariff
a much higher figure than most of the
cigar leaf wrappers ever can. Now,
however, the manufacturer has either
dispensed with the use of this type of
leaf, or if he utilizes it he wants it ut a
very low fgure-at the low figure that
common filters and binders formerly
sold. For the cut he makes on this
class of goods now has to compensate
him for the Qby the Mckinley tariff
raised expense of his wrapper leaf.
The fine filler and binder leaf that
commanded the high prices had been
raised by Wisconsin, New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio. Consequently the
tobacco growers of these states have to
pay the penalty for the outrageous
Mckinley tariff rate of s.. And Con-
necticut profits by it--and profits by
it alone-because she raises some wrap
per leaf which has always been in de-
mand even under the lowest rate of
duty. and because we cannot import all
the wrapper leaf our extensive cigar in
dustry stands in need of.

AdJusting Ourselves to ProteetIon.

The New York Tribune of Sept. %
says: 'Protection has been our policy
for thirty years. All the interests of the
country are adjusted TO it.n
There seems to be a slight error in this
statement. The interests are adjusting
themselves to it. but the process is not
completed. The census shows that the
farms of the west and south are not yet
all mortgaged, and there are a consider
able number of farms in New England
and the east around our protected home
markets" not yet abandoned.
The adjusting in this line could be con-
tinued two or three more decades before
all farmers would be tenants of our
millionaire landholders. Neither is the
adjustment perfected in manufacturing
interests 1t is true that in most cases
manufacturers have formed trusts to
prevent competition and enable them to
reap the benefits of high duties, but in
a few cases manufacturers have been
slow to grasp the situation and take adj
vantage of the duty vouchsafed to them.
In such cases they actually continue to
compete with each other, and the con-
sumer sometimes gets goods at the
"cheap" and "nasty" prices prevailing
in Europe. The Mckinley bill is doing
its work better and faster than the old
semiprotective tariff measures, and If
left alone might complete the adjust
ment by the end Of this century.

THE GREED OF PRoTecrloNlsrs.

They DO Not Share Their Protsetion
Bonus with Their Employees.
The whole theory of protection Is
that the welfare OF the laborer Is best
subserved by leaving him in the hands
OF his employer, and the only theory on
which our tariff laws are assumed to
help the laborer is this: That If the em-
ployers are allowed to extort bounties
from people at large they will use them
for the benefit of their laborers. Under
our protective system hundreds OF
millions annually are handed over as ..
bonus TO manufacturing employers. No
one questions that. That is Just what
the tariff is for.
As Mr.. Robert II. Cowdrey suggested
some time since:
Will. SOME PRoTEcTIoSIsr PLEASE ANsvRR9
Have you ever seen a laborer who cared a
nickel whether he worked for protected or
unprotected employer
Have you ever seen a laborer who expecfed
toreceive more wages from a protected than
an unprotected employer
Have you ever seen n protected manufac-
turer who paid higher wages than he was COM
Have you ever seen a very wealthy firm pay
more wages than a moderately wealthy one2
Have you ever given more for anything than
you were required tor and. Furthermore IL

why do they always employ the cheapest labor
they can find7
Our fertile soil insures our laborer
cheap food. Our free government and
lack of standing armies give him q
respite from the terrible taxation to sup
port government under which European
worlmen .sroan, and the 'sprotecteds
manufacturers, taking the most Of what
he has thus gained, point out the little
advantage they leave him, and ask him
to be grateful for the benefits Of sspro-
tection,r which, while it gives them free
trade in labor, enables them to charge a
bonus ON all that every laborer buys.
Protection" makes the laborer pay
more for the goods he has to buy. but
puts no tariff on labor-the one thing he
has &c sell. 1t enables the manufacturers
to charge more for what they have to
sell, but does not make them pay more
for what they have to buy-labor. Whom

The manufacturer wants free trade In
labor, and asks for ''protectionv in order

poor? Does the capitalist need protec-

Edward Bedloe, United States consul
TO China, says there is a great field in
China for American manufacturers.
The Chinese, he says, need cheaper ma
chimes and better tools. No doubt hun
dreds of our manufacturers viii en-
brace this opportunity 20 get the cheapest
labor in the world. But somehow in
the past the high wage countries have
done the manufacturing FOR the low
wage countries, and high priced labor
has been the cheapest. But perhaps
manufacturers have been mistaken for
several hundred years and are just now
about to open their eyes and to reap un-
told fortunes from the employment Of

aIanufaeturer. Are Not FOOLS.

Suppose it were possible to reverse
the process, and TO tax imported labor
so per cent. while admitting the pro-
ducts of labor manufacturers, etc., free.
Then labor would have real protection
and manufacturers, instead of buying
labor at it's par value and selling their
goods at so per cent. premium, would
be compelled to sell goods at par and TO
pay 80 per cent. premium for labor.
Do You think this arrangement would
suit the manufacturers Do you think
they are sincere when they advocate
tariff legislation to make wages higher
What they want is cheap labor and high
prices for their products. Do you think
they would advocate-yes, and pay for

it raised wages or lowered prices2 Look

getting parties and prejudices, ask your

lection" Is and hear what thev say.

that about I. 200 immigrants land weekly

immigration has raised the wages of
girls doing general housework from
twelve dollars to from sixteen to twenty
dollars Ter month.
Now, what an object lesson this is for
Mckinley, Harrison, Carnegie and the
other tender hearted friends of labor
who have been trying IN vain to raise
wages This cholera scare has cost us

front of our eyes, And how simple and

cent. IN few weeks, and the cause win
not be disputed by any partyI It was
not caused by high or low duty or by
any duty at all on goods.
It was caused by the stoppage of i'm

Nearly year ago New South Wales,
which had been a free trade colony, i'm
posed an ad valorem duty Of from 10per

very unpopular, and great many think
that the government which came IN on
