The new tariff law is beginning to
be felt in the increase in wages as
well as an increase in employees,
which Immediately followed its enact
ment. Naturally the first noticeable
effect of the adoption of a protective
tariff would be in the resumption of
work by the manufacturers and the
increased number OF employees, and
this became apparent before the new
law had been in operation month.
Now follows the next step, the in
crease in wages. A ten per cent in
crease in the wages of about 1000
furnace operatives in the Mahoning
and Shenango valleys is announced to
take place on December rst. and SIM
liar advances are reported in the iron
sections of other parts OF the country.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1897-11-27

The promised increase in prices I'M
der the protective tariff is not being
realized. The advance in the price of
articles imported, basing the estimate
on the net change in some thousands
OF articles, is found to be less than /
per cent while there is marked in
crease in the prices of farm products
generally. When the increase in
earnings OF those employed in the
manufacturing lines and the increased
profits which those engaged in agri-
culture make are considered, it is
easy to see that the slight increase in
prices OF the class of goods affected
by the tariff is far more than balanced
by the gain in earnings of those en-
ployed in producing and manufacture
ing, thus fully justifying the claim Of
the supporters of the protective sys
