NOT FOR WAGE FARMERS.

1t is not surprising that men of or
binary comprehension should find it
difficult to understand the theory of
protection" upon which the republi-
can tariff bill passed the senate this
week, was constructed. Take coal for
instance. The duty on foreign coal is
advanced from forty cents to sixty
seven cents ton, yet Senator Elkins,
himself heavily interested in coal mines,
says the increase will not result i'll adj
ding one cent to the pay of the miners,
although he admits that the price of
coal to the consumer will undoubtedly
be advanced. In other words the
twenty-seven cents a ton added is a
gratuity to the mine owners. Senator
Jones of Arkansas, thus expressed him
self on this subject: ''The coal miners
would be justified in asking and ex-
pecting higher wages after the new
tariff goes into effect, if the republicans

burden of their speeches on the coal
duties, and on every schedule in the
bill, was that higher rates were neces-
sary to protect American employers to
pay higher wages, but every one knows
that is not what the tariff was in
creased for. 1t was to give the coal
mine owners and other employers of
labor large profits. Notwithstanding
the increase in the duty on coal from
forty to sixty-seven cents ton, the
miners will be fortunate if their wages
are not reduced instead of increased.
Consumers will have to pay more for
coal, and the increase will 60 to the
mine owners and the railways. The
tariff was not increased for the benefit
of the wage earners, Notwithstanding
the declaration of the protectionists
that the high duties were for the
benefit of American laborers.''
