PRACTICAL TARIFF REFORM.
Agricultural Products Raised In Price and
Wages Increased.

Higher praise could not be bestowed
upon political party than that which
is implied i'll the daily reports of indus
trial revivals aud wage increases. re-
marks the St Louis Republic III Il recent
editorial
Take, for instance, summary pub
ished in The Globe Democrat SMur-
day. In the great manufacturing dis
trict of the country. embracing New
England and the middle states, this is
the condition reported:
More than SO important industrial
undertakings, which had been idle, have
started up since April l, giving employ
ment to 30, 600 operatives and work
men. Some of these have already enjoy
cd advances i'll wages, voluntarily offer
ell Ill most instances. The reports show
that ut the points covered no fewer than
lIo, 900 industrial employees are receiv-
ing higher wages than they were get
ting two months ago, an average inn
rrovcmcnt of nearly 10 pen cent Dur
ing the like period only 81 600 indus
trial employees III the region specified
had struck for amy reason, and of this
total only 81, 900 for higher wages "
In the interior manufacturing district,
between Cleveland ON the east and Den
Yer on the west, 80 important establish
ments have started their wheels since
April /, new employment has been fur
nlshcd t0 81 900 persons, and the wages
of $4,000 more have been raised about
10 per cent
And this is the result of practical tar
if reform and Democratic rule.
Agricultural products have all risen
i'll price. Cotton and corn, the two great
sources Of farm profit, have reached
higher points than for several years.
When the Democratic party took hold,
trade had suffered from the Mckinley
tariff and confidence in the government
currency had been shaken by wasteful-
ness and blunders. The Republican pan
ic was too well under way to be ut once
stopped.
Two years have passed and the Re-
publican wrecks have been cleared away.
The Democratic tariff is raising wages
and proving that McKinloyism is the
enemy of American labor. Freely NOV
ing, natural trade gives the highest re.
turns and the steadiest employment.
Manufacturing progress has never de
pended upon the high protection which
breeds trusts and shutdpwns.
Lower tariffs make higher wages.
Prohibitive tariffs and pauper wages go
together everywhere. The hum of the
mill is the Democratic doctrine of tariff
for revenue set to music.
