ton to the monthly deficit, which, by
the way, is not as great as it was dur
ing the last year of hat great reve-

The fact that coal operators in
the Pittsburgh region are voluntarily
increasing the wages of operatives is
explained on the ground that the de-
mapd for labor in the iron mills has
reduced the available supply and
forced up the price. Perhaps when
Mr.. Mckinley gets to be president it
will be possible for him to stop such
%ruinous interference with home mar
ket laws of trade. N. Y. World.

O--The predictions of the tariff re.
formers that the removal of the duty
on wool would not only add to the
value OF leeces but increase the trade
OF the manufacturers by broadening
the lines Of business are amply justi.
fed BY recent events. Wages in tho
wooden aud worsted industry Of Rhode
Island were increased seven and one
half to twelve per cent. this month, the
second advance in that state within
three months, and these advances were
voluntary. Equal improvement in
wages was experienced by all other
