What fools these mortals be! Two years
ago the Democrats were pointing to the iron
manufacturers as having cut the wages OF
their employees from thirty to fifty per cent
and maintained that it was the result of the
Mckinley bill Now that the iron industry
has picked up and the manufacturers have
to increase the wages of their half starved
employees ten per cent they point to it ex-
ultsntly as the direct result of the Wilson
tariff law although in other cases they
would have you understand that any in
crease was controlled by supply and de-
mand. The real and apparent fact in regard
to the increase in wages in the iron industry
is that skilled laborers could not be retained
at the starvation rate, and the manufacture
ers feared a concerted strike in all branchesj
therefore, to keep the employees from max
ing demand for an increase from twenty
to thirty per cent and strike off their de-
mand was not complied with, the employ
ers magnsnimously granted an increase OF
ten per cent. Cause and effect. The gold
