M'KINLEY'S. POSER
LET ANY DEMOCRAT MAKE ANSWER
-. l.. IF He CAN.

What q Comparison OF the Two Tarifa
Shows-The New One Offers No Hope 10
Farmer or Mechanic-No American Tn
terests Helped Except Sugar and Whisky.
After most bitterly denouncing the
bill they have just passed the Demo
cratic leaders and press console them
selves by declaring that the new law.
after all, is better than the act of 1890.
Better for whom? Better for what? Bet
ter in which particular? Not better in
it's free list. Not better in it's duti.
able list. Not better for the United
States Not better for industries. Not
better for American labor: Not bet
ter for the American farmer. Where
has it given hope? What factories
will it set to work? 1t has improved
-confessedly improved-no American
interests whatever, unless it be the sug-
ar and whisky trusts. 1t will not start
single new factory at home. It Will
not increase the demand for labor at
home. Whatever hope it brings is to the
alien and the stranger. Whatever in
dustry it quickens lies beyond the seas.
1t is not located beneath our flag. Bet
ter than the law of 1890! A law under
the operation Of which every man in
this country was employed at good
wages Every factory was running at
its full capacity, and the consumer was
securing the necessaries of life cheaper
than he had ever received them before.
Does any thoughtful man believe that
the law Of 1894 will ever restore those
happy conditions here in the United
States?
Will somebody name the provision in
the new law which is, an Improvement
on the old? 1t is asserted in some quar-.
tiers that it is better because the rates
OF duty are less and the average percent
age lower. In whose interests are these
lower duties? Whom do they benefit?
Senator Mills answered this we'll when
he said in his recent speech: What has
been the fact in reference to every tariff
act in the history of the government
that reduces duties? Importations in
creased, and with increased importa.
lions came increased revenue. So we
start with this declaration from those
who framed the law, that importations
are to be increased under it. But what
does this mean to the American people?
Increased Importation of articles we
make in the United States means d.
minished production in the United
States. 1t cannot mean anything else,
and diminished production in the Unit
ed States means diminished employment
to our American labor and diminished
wages to those who are employed. You
cannot escape from that conclusion.

do work formerly done here, but here
after to be done in Europe? IF there
shall be a greater agricultural product
by reason Of men focking to the farms,
the market price will fall and the farm
er be injured, while the merchants and
workmen in the large towns will reap
no benefit, for the purchasing power of
the farmers will be destroyed.
Sales Of goods and of all manufacture
ed articles will fall off, prices must &c
down, and the workingman out Of en-
ployment will be unable to purchase at
all. It will be cold day for this coun-
try. when the president permits this bill
to become law, while trade in Europe
will pick up. Her mills and factories
will increase their production; her ships
will find active employment, bringing
her products to our shores Foreign
prospects are bright indeed, while the
clouds Of dependency are gradually but
surely settling about the American
hearthstone.

THE CIRCULATION OF: WAGES.
Labor Is Punished to Reward Importer
Who Paraded For Grover.

Labor Is Punished to Reward Importers
Who Paraded For Grover.
The burden of free trade is already
upon US. How can we tighten it? The
rush Of importers to secure their foreign
goods from the custom house at the low
er rates of duty has told the story. Near
~ $50, 900, 900 worth of foreign goods
Withdrawn for consumption in less than
a week means the sale of nearly $1O,-
900, 900 worth less of American goods
manufactured in American mills by
American wage earners. It means that
the distribution of more than SIS, 900, 900
in American wages has been checked
within five days.
If this curse continues, there can be
but one result. The foreigners are de-
termined to have and to hold our mar
kets. Shall we surrender them? We do
not desire-no true American DESIRES
that American wage earners should be
compelled to sell their labor in open
competition with the cheaper labor of
other countries. The workers in the COT
ton mills Of New Bedford, in the flax
mills of New York, in the potteries of
Trenton, in the glass factories of the
west, have entered their protest against
a reduction Of wages that has been Fore
ed upon them by Democracy.
What can be done to tighten the bur-
den? The manufacturers should not be
expected to pay higher wages than their
foreign competitors and to sell their
goods at the same prices. It has been
the decree of Democracy that American
manufacturers and American wage earn
ers must be- punished in order to re-
ward the New York city importers of
foreign goods, who turned out with
such dignifed grandeur in their parade
Of 1892 to the honor and glory of Gro
yer. It is the duty of all true and pa
triotic Americans to overthrow this for
eign domination. Check the sale of
these foreign goods, check the stoppage
OF our mills, check the cheapening of
our labor by buying American goods
whenever and wherever it is possible to
do so. Let the people ask only for
American products and insist upon get
ting them.

heavy millboard. Each panel is made in
two pieces, which are covered separate
~ with dark plush neatly glued in
place. The Japanese Grape pictures are
then glued smoothly in place, and after
all is dry the front and back of each
panel are sewed together. The two COM
pleted panels are then joined by sewing
to form hinge, and large, round brass
buttons or gilded wooden balls are at
tached for feet.
A screen of this kind would be very
pretty with panels of painted boiling
cloth, or pressed autumn leaves could be
used between glass panels. In the latter
case the frame should be of wood, as
the glass would be too heavy for card
board frame.

PROTECTION IN GREAT BRITAIN.
"A Lesson For Tariff Reformers-BritisI
Workmen Robbed.

A Lesson For Tariff Reformers-Britisl,
Workmen Robbed.
We take the following earnest appeal
for protection from letter printed in
the London Ironmonger of Aug. 4: 1T
seems to be time for some concerted &C.
tion on the part of steel manufacturers
at Sheffield and elsewhere in the king
dom in regard to the purchase from
German firms Of steel castings by some
OF our greatest railway companies.
Within the last week or two one of the
most important railway contracts for
these goods has followed the others to
Germany, and for what gain? Impair
TALLY estimated, the gross saving in the
castings for an engine worth So, 900 is
from So to &20-that is, from three
fourths to i per cent on the whole cost.
ION the other hand, the companies are
diverting trade from the firms who con-
tribute most constantly and largely to
the revenue Of the railways, they lose
carriage on the raw material used, they
rob British workers of their labor, and
they gratuitously place at the service
of the foreigner all our English patterns
and designs. It is true that these draw
ings are often obtained under any cir
cumstances by foreign firms, but it is at
considerable expense and trouble that
are entirely saved to them in these cases
by our patriotic (D railway authorities.
While the masters should do some
thing so should the men, whose oppor-
tunity for labor is thus taken from them
for so paltry a saving Iron and Steel

Geronimo and his Chiricahuas are to

Indian is as bloodtkirsty as ever, and
that if he and his once get loose in the
White mountains many life will be

General Howard says that an Indian 68
years old, as Geronimo is, is Of no &C.

that this particular Indian is much more
afraid of the frontier folks than they
are Of him. Old Geronimo's latest opin-

Average wages
of 12C00 men
Cost of refining.

~ CcuC. lO.<oI ,UOO 1tOI 4 %
This Is remarkable exhibit. It seems
remarkable from several points of view.
We find that the reduced estimates in
the cost Of refining sugar have caused a
reduction Of So per day in the wages
earned by the refinery employees, from
81. 81 down to 81. SO per day, from So,
262 down to 81, 357 per annum. This is
a serious decline in wages since the
country passed into the hands of Dem
ocratic administration, yet we have
heard no complaints from these sugar
workers, who evidently are still content
with a paltry 81. 80 per day.
But it has been stated repeatedly in
the public press that the sugar refinery
workers earn only 81. SO and So per day.
Taking the larger sum and we would
only have 5000 year for each, cor ST.
200, 1000 a year for all. What can be-
come of the remaining millions? Is it
all absorbed, by the salaries of the high
officials Of the refneries, $40, 900, 900 q
year, or $14, 500, 900 a year, or even
SO, 0O0, 900 year Oh the basis of a
three-eightbs cent per pound cost of re-
timing?
Not long since Mr. Havemeyer stated
that there were 30, 900 persons employed
directly and indirectly in the business
Of sugar refining. Let US agree with
him for the moment, and let US pay
them each So per day during 800 days
in the year. This gives us total ex-
penditure of $12,000,00 and still
leaves, on the lowest trust basis of the
cost Of refining, trifle of 81, 287, 035 to
be absorbed-how?
If the head officials of the refneries
do not absorb $4,287, 035 in salaries,
then it must go to the men. But there
are not 30, 900 persons employed in the
sugar refneries of the United States.
There are only $4,000 hands. The men
who do the hauling and delivering Of
sugar should not even be taken into &C.
count in any adjustment of the sugar
tariff schedule, because they will al
ways find employment. Sugar will be
delivered from some source and con-
sumed.

SUGAR SALARY ROLL.
THE ENC RMo JUS WAGES PAID BY THE
E SUGAR TRUST.

Workmen Who Earn From $3.50 to g.. so
Every Day In the Refineries- Paid
Than In Any Other Factories-That Is. if
Haveneyer's Figures Are Reliable,
The bureau of statistics of the treasury
department has estimated the consump.
ton OF sugar in the United States for
the. year ending June 80, 1894, at
4,343, 200, 500 pounds.
The Sugar trust representatives used
to claim that the cost of refining sugar
was fve-eighths cent per pound. Later
they allowed that it cost only one half
cent, and later still they have acknowl-
edged to cost of only three-eighths
cent per pound to refine sugar.
If we apply these various costs to last
years consumption, we. get at the total
cost of refining as follows:
Cost to refine
per pound. Total cost

800, 5N............... u 21,7l6,O47
4,645,2O9, 5OO ............... IS 1921 ,O35
We thus find that within the past
year the three varied statements which
have been set forth by the Sugar trust
as to the cost Of refining sugar show a
discrepancy of $40, 1858, 025. Which one
are we to believe is the correct one? Let
us try to find out.
The average weight of barrel of
sugar may be taken at 1875 pounds,
which means total annual consump-
ton Of 13, 1858, 720 barrels a year in the
United States. If the refneries work on
325 days in each year, it means daily
output Of IL, 119 barrels. If they work
only on an average Of 800 days yearly,
it means an average daily output of
Al, 500 barrels of sugar.
1t takes 800 men on an average to do
the entire work of refining and deliver
ing an output of 8, 900 barrels Of sugar
daily, and this is a liberal allowance.
We thus have total Of 10, 900 men con-
stantly employed throughout the year
to handle an output Of IS, 900 barrels
If we compare the number of persons
thus employed by the refners with tbs
total cost of refining sugar, we are en-
abled to ascertain their annual wages.
Thus:
