There are six sheets in q set. Upon

If Free Trade makes low wages as the
Republican posters proclaim and Republi-
can orators pirate, conversely high tariff
should make WAGES high. But, does
any laborer in st. Mary's recollect any in
crease in his wages under the Mckinley
law, the highest tariff the country ever had?
That tariff increased no wages but it made
II well nigh impossible for farmers to pay
their hands and it will be long before they
recover from its effects. The lesson is of
recent date and yet high tariff advocates
think they can sgaiu fool peop.e with the
exploded fallacy that low tariff means
low wages.
