Salaries and Prices of Products.
Special to The State.

Washington, June 22.-Repre-
sentative Stokes has introduced a
bill in the house which empha.
sizes the growing evils of an ap-
preciating money standard. The
senate report referred to in the
bill, generally known as the al
drich report" shows that from
1872 to 1895 the average prices
of 233 commodities in common
use have decreased fully 335 per
cent. During the same period the
compensation of officers, employ
ees and pensioners of the govern
ment has steadily increased either
In salary or perquIsites or both.
From 1888 to 1889 tho average
annual expenses of the govern
ment were $263,016,473.1S. The
average annual expenses from
1893 to 1896, inclusive reached
the alarming figures of $35S ,633,-
34I.4O-an increase in less than a
decade of UNPARALLELED distress
among the people of nearly 30
per cent. OF course all this was
not salaries and pensions but the
greater mart was do NOT think

people are any better than the

Manufacturers Against the Tariff Bill.

One OF the most striking indications
OF the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association of the Unit
cd States. Mr.. a. b. Farquhar, an ex-
tensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa, is at tho head
of the movement.
1t Is we'll known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
OF their competitors i'll any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are we'll able to take care
of themselves All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at u disadvantage.
A great list of other industries are
practically in the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that tho manufacturers, in their peti-
tlon to the senate, declare that their
ability TO employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by tho passage Of
the tariff bill. They ask that tho Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protcctionists - namely,
that protection is in tho interest of
American labor-is shown by census
figures to be "a sham. OF the ., 600, 900
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it Is shown in the pc
tition that less than 200, 600 are en-
ployed III occupations subject to active
foreign competition and GIG, 900 in
occupations subject to moderate for
cign competition. The remainder, over
1000, 900, do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor
1t Is very plain that the Dingley bill
