Please Explain Mr.. Wilson.

From Gunton's Magazine for December:
Those who insist that protection has no
influence on wages will be interested In the
announcement of the manufacturing potters
of their intention to increase the wages
twelve per cent throughout the pottery in
dustry. No industry, with the single ex-
ception of the woolens, suffered SO much
from the Wilson German tariff as did the
pottery industry. Their ovens closed and
wages slumped. Since the passage of the
Dlngley law the fires have been lighted un-
der the ovens, full employment resumed,
and now twelve per cent advance in wages
is offered. II the free trade journals OF the
country refuse to see this, the employees In
the pottery industry will not fail to feel It,
Perhaps Mr.. Wilson may find way of ex-
planning to the laborers that this increase Is
an injury. He has great capacity for
economic imagination, and this will be a
good case for applying his art.
