lo'al cost........... ......................50
Out Of this total cost of production
the manufacturer still has material for
two collors, which. for the sake of
simplifying, have not been included in
| the labor cost. These, manufactured at
the labor cost Of 2 cents each, add but
cents to the cost of production, and
the manufacturer then has fourteen
dollars at a total cost of 81 cents,
which will retail at $210. This profit
of 2S9 per cent is what the American
consumer pays for the alleged protec-
ton of the collar girl.
The labor prices quoted are the
highest paid in Troy. The gir.s ind
their own thread, so that does not
enter into the manufacturers cost.
Eyelet and button-hole machines also
are usually owned by the workers,
being furnished by the factory owners
but paid for by weekly instalments.
And it is affirmed that the employers do
a nice little bit of sharp business by
charging for these machines from $125
to s1S5 each, while they are manufac-
tured at from SIS to $50 each.
The correspondent of the Times
states that collar girls of whom in
quiries were made, said:
That since the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill their wages have been re-
duced very generally; that at the re-
cent mass meeting but one side of the
Question was presented; that the reduc-
tons fortyeight hours afterward was
argument enough for the other; that
foreign competitors could not compete
with their labor if their employers
would part with only 100 per cent Of
their profits that wages are subject
entirely to the will of the employer.
1t will be found on investigation that
most of the protests against tariff re-
duction are pleas for continued high
profits to the firms and corporations
that make money out of labor, and
are not in the interest of the working
man or woman. The separate collar
and cuff business was of American in
vention and needed no protection
even when an infant industry" It
is to be noted that the rise in the tariff
has not been accompanied by rise
in wages. But that just as soon as a
decrease in the tariff is proposed the
threat of wage reduction is at once
held up, to scare the tin1id into COM
pliance with the demands of the man.
ufacturers. And that is the gospel of
nrotection.

The proposition for an international
monetary conference, although ham
pered with what may be called a
''makeshift' suggestion, is not to be
cast aside on that account. If a sin
cere movement is made for the settle
ment of the silver question it will not
be bound by any particular notion put
forward by its promoters. The whole
subject will be considered and some
thing will surely come out of it that
will be of benefit to the nations.

It is to be hoped that in sending
any memorial to Congress partisan
opinions viii be avoided and offensive
insinuations be expunged. Also that
only absolute facts be presented when
reference is made to existing conditions
and that what is desired will be asked
for on tenable grounds. Not that we
expect that such petitions will influence
congressional legislation, but because
we want Utah to be regarded with
respect and not with derision.

PROTECTED COLLARS AND CUFFS.

4
Wilson bill are the Troy collar and
cuff manufacturers. They claim con-
tinued protection, not because theirs is
an infant industry but in behalf of
the poor workers, many of whom are
women and girls. They have such
sympathetic hearts that they grow
sentimental and almost fearful, over
the threatened necessity of cutting
down wages or closing up their estab-
lishments, if the tariff on collars and
cuffs is not maintained intact.
A monster protest has been prepared
under Republican direction assisted by
some Democrats with whom, it is
stated. a deal was made in local poll
tics in order to gain their support. 1t
appears that those same Democrats
not long ago accused publicly the col
lar barons" of amassing fortunes out
of the oppression of their employees,
and the high prices maintained for
their goods by the protective tariff.
Now they have been attending Republi-
can mass meetings and joining in the
effort to keep on the duty which they
formerly decried. The Troy people
ought to remember this double-dealing
when such men are again candidates
for Office
/
The burden Of the song of the collars
lars and cuffs was that the factory
girls needed protection. After getting
their support to the protest against
tariff reduction the girls received a
dose of protection. Forty-eight hours
subsequent to the mass meeting the
largest manufacturing concern in
Troy reduced the wages of collar girls
by from II to % per cent. This action
was suppressed in the Troy papers but
telegraphed to the New York Times.

his most trusted confldant and general fac
totun, Carl Jensen, who, notwithstand-
ing his humble origin, occupied an alto

the Ottoman monarch, since he was the
only man not belonging to the corps of
eunuchs who was permitted to enter the
apartment of the principal sultana.
Carl was Of German origin and first at
tracted the sultan's notice while working
as an ordinary carpenter in the construc-
tion of a kiosk in the palace garden. ABB
dul Hamed, who had not at that time sue
ceeded to the throne, got into the habit of

pleasure in his conversation that he pro-
cured for him the appointment Of superin-

AT JAPANESE LEGATION
There is Grea. Rejoicing and Belief That the
Mikado Holds Trumps.

WASHINGTON, Sept 0.-Official confirm
alton has been obtained here of the report
that four Chinese vessels were sunk and
one burned in the recent naval battle.
Elated over the success of the Japanese
fleet the officers of the Japanese legation
here predict the ultimate success of the MI
kado's forces. They make the following
statements: China has lost five of her
best war.hips, and as good naval
vessels are not built in day the chances
of augmenting her naval forces are small
indeed. By the victory off Hai-Yang-Tao,
Japan obtained full possession of the gulf
of Pechile, which is the key to the invasion
of the Flowery Kingdom. A strong Japan
ese fleet stationed there stands little
chance of being routed and japanese troops
can be landed in China and Korea without
serious danger. With the Chinese northern
fleet crippled, AMI the southern fleet of lit
tie use on account of the ancient character
of its vessels, the Chinese are not likely TO
make an advance on tue strong force of the
enemy in the Calf of Pr chile.
