true that there has been an advance sl
prices for some classes OF goods,
and before long w must ex-
pect to pay moro than we now
do for everything we cat, drink,
and wear-thls Is what the protective
tariff does. AS the Knoxville Tribune
asserts. the effects of the new tariff are
beginning to be felt, by purchasers Of
goods, In the advance Of prices of va
rious articles. But while the price Of
goods advances the wages of the en-
ployes OF the protected manufacturers
will clot be Increased. Those to whom
the tariff question is t!resome and un-
Ineligible Will learn something Of It's
effects n operation when they go to
the stores to buy goods during the COM
ing months and find prices on many ar
ticles increased on account of the tariff,
levied as a tax on the many for the
benefit OF a favored few. The New Or
leans States remarks:
Next month the people Of this
country will get a good taste OF the
Dingley bin, and the women cspec-
Tally VIII realize how deeply 1t cuts

Manufacturers have informed deal
ers In this city and elsewhere h
they Will not quote any prices until
after September LIST. This means,
of course, that the price of shoes.
hats, clothing, blankets, hardware
and all other articles used in the
household will be advanced from IL
to 90 per cent. to meet the duties
OF the new tariff. In the mear-
time, however. there is no indica-
ton that there will be q general
increase Of wages among the con-
Stunning. classes; on the contrary, q
number of large manufacturing
concerns which Will profit most by
the high duties of The DlngIey bill
lave refused to grant the requests
OF their worimen for a reasonable
Increase Of wages. This was very
clearly demonstrated in the case OF
the combine of glass manufacturers
who met the other day at Glove
land. O., and decided to advance the
price Of all kinds Of glass, but de-
cliued to increase wages. 1t is quite
probable that history will repeat
itself and that within the next two
or three years there will be as many,
If not more, strikes ana shut downs
as there were when the Mckinley
bill was In operation and the rates
OF which were moderate in compare
son to those Of the new tariff"
The increase will be in the price Of
goods II not in wage or salaries, and
how such a tariff can benefit the gene
raj public is difficult to understand. It's
the increased cost of living without m
corresponding increase of wages tina
makes 1t particularly hard on those who
earGl their living by their labor.
