The furnace at Principle has been
put on half time, owing to scarcity
of orders, and wages after September
4th were to be reduced. Those re-
ceiying $1.25 will be cut down to
$l.10 day. The tariff Industries
all over the country were in the very
nature of things, sooner or later com
PEELED to come down in wages. The
high wages cry which was kept up
for so long was political fraud from
the start to gull the working people.
If they received higher wages than
the average level of wages through
the country it was paid by consumers
of manufactured products paying a
little higher for the goods. There
was nowhere else for the money to
come from. This condition was
bound to cure itself which all
abnormal conditions are bound to do
in the end. The strange feature in
the case was that farmers couldn't
see that they were paying most oil
the extra wages. The abundance of
their products had to seek the mar k
cts OF the world and sell at the level
Of the worlds prices.
The way TO increase wages again is
by putting more money in circulation
This insures more work and more
consumption and an advance all
along the line. The anomaly of the
republican party's theory now appears
in the contraction of the volume oil
money by the gold standard process
which is morally certain to effect a
permanent fall in prices and wages
also. The protection theory was to
promote higher wages for the work
men which presupposed higher prices
for goods. Now thoir English gold
money theory insures beyond a per-
adventure the exact opposite.
America surely has developed'a race
