prompt revival Of business. and VINO
the new tariff makes only little change
from the Mckinley law. Yetwhat are
the facts? On many Of the most i'm
portant products the duties are re-
duced more than One-half, and on
many others as much as a third. and
these are products moreover. which
were so largely imported in 1891 and
1892 under the Mckinley duties as to
prove that those duties were by no
means prohibitory.
1t is essential TO remember that a
duty which is not high enough to pro
tect IS like a dam which Is not strong
enough to resist food Only little
difference IN the dam or the duty may
bring tremendous disaster in place of
peace and prosperity The question is
whether the duty is high enough to
keep domestic establishments a. work
with fair wages Cutting of wages
necessarily cuts off what the people
can buy, and thus necessarily reduces
business. Now the ore fact which
everybody can see is that wages are at
present very much lower than they
were two years ago, before the people
voted for change Of tariff. and the
definite settlement which the new
tariff has brought does not anywhere
permit any recovery OF wages as yet.
but in many important branches it has
compelled decline Thus the win
dow-glass workers recently accepted a
reduction of twenty per cent and the
hint-glass and tin plate workers are
also expected to accept reduction.
1t is impossible to state with accu-
racy what the aggregate reduction in
all kinds of wages has been, but it is
unquestionably enough to account for
material shrinkage in the purchases
Of the people, and consequently in the
volume of business. This alone would
be a very serious change, should it
continue. even though none OF the
American works should be directly
closed BY foreign competition. For if
the people can only spend q, 600, coo, ;
coo where they formerly spent S., ,oOo.-
coo. coo yearly. great many establish
ments will have to stop because of e
lack of demand for their products
Some theorists imagine that. with
prices down 20 or so per cent the
mailer wages will go Is far and buy
as many boots or clothes as the larger
wages previously received. But the
trouble is that while prices Of some
goods which are liable to be imported
have been much reduced. other prices
have been reduced very little or not at
all 1t is capable of demonstration
that the cost OF living, even at the
lowest point this year. has at no time
been as much as 10 per cent lower
than il was IN 1882, bat wages are
probably a. least % per cent lower.

GREAT ENGINEERING SCHEME.-An
engineering work of considerable i'm
portance, which has been commenced
lately, is the piercing of two railroad
tunnels through the mountain barrier
separating France and Spain. The
tunnels, which will each be about five
miles in length, are for the use of two
international lines of railway, each hav-
ng its own separate tunnel. The first
oil these lines will start from st. Giron
in France, having its objective point
the town of Lerida in Spain, while the
second will start from Clorom in the
Bases Pyrenees and join the MARITIME
from Laragassa to Barcelona. A period
of ten years is assigned for the compile
ton of the entire scheme.
