New York World: The controversy be-
tween MIR. Carnegie and his men hal
brought out one fact OF special interest.
When the Mckinley bill was in process
OF formation, under direction Of the men
who we're to be enriched by it, NJ. Carnegie
secured the higher protection he desired on
every article manufactured by him except
steel billets. @"& ..
To that product he assumed q contrary
attitude. He did not ask to have its price
enhanced by an extra duty or to have HIM
self protected. so far IL 1t was concerned
against foreign competition. On the con.
trary, he got the duty on it reduced.
II now appears that the basis OF wages in
Mr.. Carneeis's mills 10 tho price OF steel
billets. The lower the price OF steel billets
ia made by foreign competition. the lower
wage-rate Mr.. Carnegie is able to make for
all kinds Of work done in his factories.
Some things explain other things, as the
may have observed.

Protect Yourselves, Workiuglnen.

Courier-Journal: Our esteemed contem-
porary. the New York Tribune. saws:
"The workinRman who makes up his
a good democrat, bat he is a bad guardian
of his own interests
Let us look al this a little in the light of
recent occurrences in Pennsylvania.
The election of Mr.. Cleveland, if accom-
panied by a democratic control of the SEN
ate. means a reduction of the tariff.
1t means free ore and free coal, and the
addition to the free list Of those materials
which lie at the base of every great in
dustry.
This would cause the vast expansion of
our great manufacturing establishments,
the production of iron and steel, Of cotton
and WOODEN clothing. of cutlery and hard
ware, at such prices as to create new
markets at home and open new markets
abroad.
This expansion would create a new de-
mand for labor. Mill owners would be
hunting laborers, and not labo-ers mill
owners.
The demand for labor would spring up
on every hand; the supply would not be
greater than now. and the inevitable result
would be an advance in wages.
Supply and demand regulate wages, with
or without a tariff.
The tariff protects the capitalist, and i'm
migration supplies him with labor.
But. say our republican friends, a low
tariff means low prices, and low prices
mean low wages.
This is the fallaoy exposed by the Home
stead riot.
Americas farm products are lower in
price than those of any other nation, but
wages on the farm are lower here thar else
where.
Prices of iron and steel are greatly
cheaper in England to-day than twenty
years ago, but wages are higher.
Wages are higher in England than in
Germany, but England undersells Germany
in every market in the world.
Here is the true history of high wages.
Low prices enlarge the demand for anv
product.
An enlarged demand calls for an increased
production.
Increased production creates a demand
for more labor, and this uecessitates an
advance in wages.
Higher wages and permanent smployment
will inevitably follow a reduction Of the
tariff.
The laborinR man, then, who knows how
to guard his own interests will work and
vote for Grover Cleveland.

THE M'KINLEY FRAUn.

No thoughtful, intelligent person will be
fooled by the sophistry just now exuding
from the democratic presses. They have
been accustomed to point to England as
the model for this country to follow indus
trlaily and i'll economics Now let them
tell their readers something of the English
record of strikes and lockouts and mob
violence and military suppression of wage
riots during the last fifty or sixty years.
They dare not do it, for if truthfully told
IT would show at once the falsity of their
charges now made so glibly against proteo
tlon. -Minneapolis Journal.
Nobody has ever claimed that all
strikes are the result of protection.
What has been charged by the demo-
cratic press Is that protection does not
raise wages, or prevent reductions in
wages. The republican ewspapers,
and republican leaders like Carnegie,
have heretofore strenuously maintained
that the tariff was a great benefit to the
wage Garner. Mckinley and Reid
stumped the country in 1890, reiterating
the declaration that the Mckinley bill
was for the benefit of the American
~workingman. Said Reid in a speech at
Buffalo Oct. Is, 1890: "They ask me
whether I consider the Mckinley bill
just to the poor. Well, I should say so.
A bill which has for it's object the aiding
of the poor by raising their wages is
q just one" Mr.. Reid is a very smart
man and it is hard to believe that he
was honest in his opinion. If he is an
honest man, he must now believe that
he was mistaken. Wages have been
steadily reduced in nearly all the in
dustries of the country since the highest
tariff known has been in operation. It
IS not necessary to consider whether
the high tariff is the cause and low
wages the effect. 1t is an undeniable
and incontrovertible fact that wages are
going down. The Mckinley tariff did
not raise them; it did not even keep
them where they were under a lower
tariff. 1t is incumbent upon the repub-
lican press to show the country where
in the tariff measure which it's
party supports in its platform, helps the
wage earners of the country.
