"The Same Wages as Foreigners"

The Philadelphia Ledger contains
an interesting interview on the new
tariff bill with Colonel Charles H..
Banes, a prominent Democratic bus
inees man of the Quaker City, and a
former Democratic candidate for
Congress. In this interview Colonel
Banes, who stigmatizes the Cleveland
Wilson bill as "hybrid' which "sud-
denly disturbs with ruthless hands
the economic conditions of a genera
tion," also describes conversation
which he had with Chairman Wilson
of the Ways and Means Committee
when the bill was in course of prepa-
ration. 81 affirmed" Colonel Banes
declares, "that the reduction contem-
plated would fall most heavily upon
the laboring classes. Mr.. Wilson's
reply was to the effect that, as 'our
american aUorkmen are better housed,
clothed and fed, they could do more
acork for the same acages than foreign
ers.'"
This is the whole case in a nutshell
The fundamental and controlling prin-
ciple of the new tariff scheme is that
American workingmen shall "work
for the same wages" as the foreign
pauper labor that lives in a hovel and
dies in an almshouse. The theory
that the wage earners of the United
States are mere beasts of burden, who
can be forced to do much more work
under the spur of impending starva-
ton than they do now, or than the
labor of Europe performs; is a pet
doctrine of the free traders. What
do the workingmen of America, whose
wages, homes and manhood are threat
ened. by the overthrow of protection,
think of this proposition !? Are they
willing to stand idly by and allow
American wages to be cut down one
half without resistance New York

-TEE--

Congress assembled in regular ses-
sion last Monday and the Presidents
message was read before both
Houses on that day. The message is
lengthy and common place with few
exceptions. AS usual with modern
executives considerable space is tax
en- up in exploiting the beauties of
the civil service humbug. Consider
aple space is devoted to deploring the
enormous amount of seed sent out
through the agricultural bureau. The
two points of general interests is the
Hawaiian matter and the tariff.
About the former, after recounting
the fact of treaty made under the
Harrison administration, the Presi-
dent says:
This treaty l withdrew for exami-
nation and sent James Ii. Blount of
Georgia to Honolulu as special
commissioner to make an impartial
investigation of the circumstances at
tending the chan ge of government
and of all the conditions bearing up;
on the subject of the treaty. After a
thorough and exhaustive examination
Mr.. Blount submitted to me his re-
port, showing beyond all question
that the constitutional government of
Hawaii had been subverted with the
active aid of our representatives to
that government; and through the
intimidation caused by the presence
of an armed naval force of the Unit
ed States, which was landed for that
purpose at the instance of our minis
ter. Upon the facts developed it
seemed to me the only honorable
course for our government to pursue
was to undo the wrong that had been
done BY those representing us and to
restore as far as practicable the stat
us existing at the time of our forcible
intervention. With view of accom-
plishing this result within the consti-
tutional limits of executive power,
and recognizing all our obligations
and responsibilities growing out Of
any changed conditions brought about
by our unjustifiable interference, our
present minister at Honolulu has re-
ceived appropriate instructions to that
end.
AS to the tariff he approves the
Wilson bill and says:
1t is the result of much patriotic and
unselfish work, and l believe it deals
with its subject consistently and as
thoroughly as existing conditions per-
NIT. | am satisfied that the reduced
tariff duties provided for in the proposed
legislation, added to existing internal
revenue taxation, will, in the near fu-
ture, though perhaps not Immediately,
produce sufficient revenue to meet the
needs of the government

The pracrice of the wife assuming the

Against this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteenth and even at
