WAGES AND PROTECTION.

1t is a fact that fatty contradicts the
assertion of the Democratic orators, a
fact that wages have not declined
since the war. According to a report
made to the United States Senate in
1893 these are examples of wages be-
fore the war and at the time of the re-
port:
PIasterers in 1860 81 70, in 1890
So 80; blacksmiths in 1860 81 so, in
1890 SO; painters in 1860 81 %, in 1890
81 80; carpenters in 1860 81 -, in 1890
81 "a; machinists in 1860 81 rs, in 1890
g. 19; brakemen. on railroads in 1860
81 %, in 1890 50; locomotive engineers
in 1860 81 80, in 1890 So 81. The en-
tire record shows an average increase
in wages in all industrial occupations
of more than 6S per cent in those thirty
years.
The Washington Post" declares that
wages have steadily risen, and assured
IS the hours of labor have materially
decreased under trade unionism In
fifty years the labor day has been short
ened from fourteen hours to ten, and
now to nine and eight, while as the
5OSIOn POST, a Democratic journal
puts it, under the present monetary
system labor has produced more,
earned more and received greater value
in commodities for which earnings are
expended than ever before in the his
tory of this or any other country"
What is needed, then, to give full
employment to idle labor to save pres
ent wage conditions from declination,
is a protection guard that will insure
the worker against the competition Of
the cheap labor of foreign countries.
The Washington Post" says:
The general average in 1879 was
81 80, and in 1891, 81 6S. And while
wages have been going up, the work
ing day has been growing shorter, and
the reduced cost of production has re-
duced the prices of nearly all the nec-
essaries of life
So. we repeat, the need of the hour
Is met by the Republican declaration
upon which Mr.. Mckinley stands

Bryan, Mr.. Breckenridge said, was an
undeveloped and emotional young fell
low. He thought Bryan believed in his
platform, and would try to make that
the law of the land. The election of
Bryan would be the greatest calamity
that could happen to the people. The
duty of the Democratic party was to de-
feat the election of Bryan. That ac-
compliShed they would keep open the
old Democratic home for the reception

wATsON's CAUsTIC CRITICISM.

Mr.. Tom Watson. the Populist tail to
questions in his comments upon Mr.
Rryan's New York speech. After prais-
ing it as a splendid defense of silver,
he wades into it for what it did not
contain. Why, he asks did Mr.. Bryan
ignore the bank plank in the platform
on which he stands? Why did he re-
frain from referring to the tariff plank
likewise?
Why did Mr.. Bryan have to keep mum
on that topic (banks)? Because of the
fact that Arthur Sewall, his running
mate, is a national banker. Again,
there was the question of the tariff.
To expect to defeat Mckinley
without saying a word against McKin-
ley Is something new under the sun, but
Mr. Bryan's silence was proper and
necessary. He could not afford to de-
nounce protection while Mr.. Sewall, his
running mate, is well known as a pro-
fectionist. Mr.. Sewall is even now act
ing in league with the Republicans to
secure legislation which will levy trib-
ute upon every American consumer of
foreign goods in the selfish interest of
the New England ship-builders, of
whom he is one, and Mr.. Sewalrs pres
ence on the ticket prevented Mr.. Bryan
from assailing national banks of issue
and the Republican doctrine OF protec-
ton. Mr.. Sewalps presence on
the ticket was meant to say to the
privileged classes of the North and
East: Don't get scared Of Bryan's
speeches. 1 will see to it that the pres
ent state of things is not disturbed" In
other words, Sewall is the soothing syr-
up of the campaign for the monopolists
and he is relied upon to keep Northern
and Eastern Democrats from wailing
TOO much under the infiiction of Bryans
Populistic proclfvities.
In other words, Mr.. Watson knows
that Mr.. Bryan is opposed to the pro-
tective policy, root and branch. He
lsr,ows that Mr.. Bryan is opposed to
discriminating in favor of the Ameri-
can merchant marine. He knows that

the tariff is an issue, and that Mr.. Bry-

charges of Mr.. Watson against Mr..
Bryan are illustrative of the virtue in
the claim of the Republican party that
protection is a necessity to American
workers and producers; that If we are
to carry our foreign commerce on
American bottoms, it must be by dis
eliminating in favor of imports carried
by American shippers, and against
those carried on foreign bottoms.

1t is really too bad that Major McKin-
we have the London Courier saying
that it seems to be "a foregone conclu-
sion that Mckinley will be the next
President of the United States. The ad-
vent of this fanatical protectionist to
supreme power across the Atlantic will
be a bad thing for British trade. In
the manufacturing centers of England
the steps preliminary to the election
next November are being watched
with keen anxiety. 1t is a
bad sign for the business of this coun-
try that Mr.. McKinley's chances of
election are so good"
1t is not an unvarying truth that what
is good for England is bad for the
United States, and that what pleases
chatter is unworthy of decent thought
bathos is unworthy of decent thought
But it is true that in the election of Nc
Kinley and Hobart England sees prob
able outcome as to trade that will oper-
especially benefit the producers manu-
facturers and artisans Of the United
States 1t is this forecast that brings
out the expression quoted, and it is
therefore legitimate to accept it as one
of several reasons why Americans
should stand by the Republican ticket.
Cold figures are very cruel in their
mercilessness. The statistics of the De-
partment of Agriculture show that our
agricultural exports for 1892 exceeded
other years so as to make that the ban
ner year. The exports amounted to
nearly SS00,0 100000 of value, as against
S216, ,000,0 900 of other exports. But how
was it three years later? In 1895 our
agricultural exports had fallen to $685.
215, ,317, and other exports but little
exceeded S24, 100000. So that to gain
less than SO, 100000 in merchandise
