There are ample racks for hand lug

giving less room for the knees than in

A QUESTION OF EcOsOarcs.

economist who has completed a sorlos
OF exhaustive studies rs to tho relation
Of wages to the cost OF labor. paat his
Views are IN accord with tue argu.
monts OF leading taril.rbilrmers Ia
the United States will perhaps be

a large proportion og American

comparisons Of wage rates Tor the

frequently seen IN ihe:argumenu OF
high protecli9nisis, 1, ought to be
worth the while Of the latter TO give
him some attention, Il only Tor the
purpose Of demolibhiug him.
This is tue gauntlet which he boldly
throws down; "Whege the cost Of
labor Is loves. the conditions Of labor
are most favorable, the working day IS
shortest and the weekly wages Of oper.
atiyes are highest" This means, n tits
true, thatthe comparisons Of wage rates
10 appTOvingly quoted In favor OF the
American workman, is worthless Us
proof as to the cost Of labor per unit Of
product. In other words, while the
German stgtlstlcian finds tina. wages

arc lower than In EnglanI, and
lower In England than IN the United
States, yet nils calculations show him
that 10 the weaving mills u the two

that oil nominations to ~ exalted a

valuable time. II the gentleman Is not
qualified, In tho opinion Of the Senate,

recently had It's attention called to the
fact that In the determination OF con.
