"a partisan attempt is making now
10 persuade the working classes that
there is TO be a reduction In their
wages"
This is the topical test upon which the
Boston Herald bases its leading edito-
rial today. 1t Is numerous to an extent
that nearly precludes serious considera-
tion. yet The Herald breaches serious
and lengthy dissertation not, indeed,
upon the lines IL as text warrants, but
upon the general unctuous presumption
that the lowering of tho tariff need not
necessarily lower wages.
The Herald begs the question, also, by
declaring that the contemplated changes
In the tariff will not be likely to lower
wages but 10 raise them, since 1t is the
intention to remove the duty on certain
raw material.
People in this section know well
enough that the mere suggestion that
the tariff is to be changed has resulted
in the lowering of wages in all textile
mills, and several other lines, and that
all operatives in these mills have been
made to feel the heavy hand of advers-
ity, and even the lack of the means to
buy bread.
The manufacturers, side of the re-
duction of duty matter is perfectly easy
to comprehend. The duty on woolen
goods, for example, is compensatory
duty; that is, it is meant to give the
manufacturers compensation upon their
manufactured product for their outlay
in paying duty upon the raw wool.
If the duty on the raw wool is re-
moved and the compensatory duty on
the goods allowed to remain as it is,
what becomes of Democratic consis-
tency? Can it for q single moment be
supposed that a Democratic congress
will lend itself to the making of such an
ultra-protection lawf
The compensatory character OF this
duty on woolen goods is more in suming
than in reality. however. If American
manufacturers do not use foreign wool
they receive the full benefit of the duty
as protective measure, pure and sim
pie, and this is what is practically
happening.
The plain fact is that American WOOL
en- manufacturers cannot do business
upon the old basis of wages unless they
are protected against the pauper-labor
goods of Europe to the full extent
allowed by the present law. The test of
this is the quick slump in their business
caused by the mere fear of tariff reduce
ton.
In the face of the widespread suffer
ing already caused, and impending cut
downs already announced, the driveling
idiocy Of such talk as The Herald in
dulges in is apparent.

CHINESE OUTRAGEs TO CEASE.

The Chinese government has sent a
note to the viceroy of the district where
missionaries are being so bitterly perse-
cuted, warning him that he will be de-
graded and punished if any more out
RACES against foreigners occur in his
province. While the text of the order
has not been published, it is reported
that it recognizes the right of foreign
missionaries to live in the interior of
the empire and expound their
doctrines of faith. 1t is said
that joint note of the
Powers caused the Pekin government to
take this step. The persecution of the
missionaries has been source of much
anxiety to the different missionary
boards here and in Europe, and such a
settlement as that announced above will
