| Ere$1rads Not Good For Farmers
One other ching have noticed In this de-
bate When the gentleman from Kansas
Or. Sin1pson1 gets q little money ahead, he
does not cut it into stocks in these immense
lyproitsb lomRnufacture He has too much
sense. re adds to his farm and has told
as 50. Example is richer than prccept-
IL the hope OF agriculturists il In English
free tf1de. they had better ponder on the
fact thak while the wages Of artisans have
sincreastd In England g. S per week since
1850 tbs wages Of agricultural laborers have
only increased 20 cents, and while the Lam
cashire operatives IN the factories live as
well as anybody except Americans the sgri-
cultural laborers are hardly better OF than
the contfnental peassntry. England's ex-
IampIe viii not do for agriculture.
Here let me meet one other question, and
let me meet Il fairly. We are charged with
Ihaving claimed that the tariff alone gill
raise wages, and we are pointed trium-
Iphantfy 70 the fact that the wages Of France
and Germany, protected by tariff, are
lower thsn England, free of all tariff. and
to Ameiicn with tariff and still higher
wageA We have never made such a claim
la any form. Free traders have set mp that
IclaiEn ttr rs In order to triumphantly knock
IL ovtr. Whist We do say Is thatwhere two
Inatis nave equal skill. and equal appli-
fanc iaamarket Of nearly equal size, and
lone hem can hire labor at one-half less.
