Wages Going Down.

The Chicago steel works has just
notified its employees of reduction of
wages. An attempt was made about
Year ago in this concern to lower the
scale of wages, but it was defeated by
a strike of the employees. The reduc-
ton now is about the same as that
which was successfully opposed by the
workmen at the time referred to. The
Homestead mills near Pittsburg and
all of the other manufacturing con-
Germs in which Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
is interested have also advertised the
fact that wages would be 'readjusted"
early. "Readjusted" is a term which
is synonymous with decrease in this
connection. During the recent cam
paign employees were warned against
free silver coinage on the ground that
if it were adopted their wages would
be paid in debased money, which was
not true. Nothing was said at that
time about the probability of a reduc-
ton in wages, although it was quite
plain to those who took rational view
of affairs that such policy would GER
tainly follow the election of Mckinley.
1t has come a little sooner than was
expected, but no one will be particu-
larly surprised even at that except
the workingmen themselves. What
folly it was to suppose that the same
scale of wages would be kept up I'M
der a continuation of the single gold
standard that could have been conf
IDENTIFY looked for if the country had
voted for silver restoration! Unless
indications are at fault there will be
general reduction of wages all over
the country within the next SIX
months, and it will be sharp reduc-
ton, too. The people have voted for
a European financial policy and they
must take with it Europena wages and
social conditions.-Ev Evansville Courier
(democratic).
