That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statlstician Carroll D. Wright
furnished that body last week concern
ing the labor cost of lumber in this cOun-
try and in Canada. His figures showed
that, while the average wages in CAnsdi-
an sawmills is S1.41 and s1.7l per day
here, the average labor cost Of 1000
feet of lumber Is $l.ss in Canada and
only % cents here. The decreased cost
of production in this country is sttrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
OF course, the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate OF wages
paid does not indicate the cost Of pro-
duCtion-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get tariff on Canadian lum-
Der so that they can the more efRectually
rob American consumers. Protection
lists care nothing for facts, What they
want is a license TO steal.-NatiOna

When the tariff bill was about TO be

that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates.
Mr.. AldFich. when introducing the

cumstanccs as to bring this below 20 cents
or above 60 cents for any considerable
amount.
AS an item of tariff taxation the
sugar schedule Is ideal from the pro-
tectionist standpoint. Sugar Is the one
article used by poor and rich to an
equal extent, and a tax on which there
fore falls most heavily on the poor in
proportion to their ability TO pay II.
Its production and distribution are con-
trolled by a concern which Is at once
the greatest Of our mean trusts and the
meauest of our great ones.
It Is consistent therefore that on this
one article there should be levied more
than One-third OF our total tariff taxa
ton. and that our people should be bur.
dcned by tax of more than 500. OOO. 600
that realizes less than $7O,OOO,OOO for
the treasury and more than $50, 0OO. 900
for the sugar refining combine. while
the same combine is enabled to net
an additional $lO,OO0,OO0 by the oppor-
tunity given to 1t to import Mt present
duty rates raw sugars from which Il
can make refined to be sold by It under
the enhanced price assured IL by the
proposed Aldrich schedule. The net
"protecdon" OF from as TO 90 cents per
100 pounds given the trust on Its rehn-
ing process alone should be considered
as sufficient when we remember that
the labor cost OF this process is slightly
less than 6ih cents per 100 pounds that

Next TO the wage-earner the farmer
IL dear to the protectionist heart, and
no is therefore equally favored by the
sugar schedule. OF late years through
out the eastern and middle and many of
the central states the competition Of the
far west has driven our farmers from
! grain raising into fruit culture. This
has now SO developed that except for
exports of canned goOds-jams. pre-
serves. etc.--in which we ought to sup
ply the world, the business of fruit rails
ing has, In It's turn, become almost
prohtless And poverty Ia now assured
TO those who are dependent upon fruit
culture by the proposed tax of two
cents a pound on sugar. This increases
by from so to IS per cent. the article
which would make up from 20 70 "a
per cent. of the total weight of the jams
etc. the export of which might insure
living prices for the surplus fruits, but
which is now practically prohibited.
And this is "a government Of the
people, by the people and for the PEG
pie" Who are the 'people?'

The domestic manufacturers In whose
interests these changes are supposed q
DO made have stated that they do not
desire over 80 per cent. duty on linen
goods. and one Of the principal manu-
fRcturers Of linen and cotton hAndkeT>
chiefs In America (Of Acheson. Harden
g. Col. Passaic, n. j. states that he dOet
not desire any advance Of duty on his

bered that, owing to climatic cOndl.

or linen manufactured successfully In
this country, and when 1t Is further re-
