Wages Go Up.

WakCs w ~ ~
AS the result of the new Dingley pro
tectiye tariff, there has been gradual
and pretty general advance in wages to
the workingmen of the country, both
by the enhancement of the rate of
wages and by the increased steadiness
of employment. Some few industries,
owing to peculiar circumstances, have
failed to fare thus favorably, but the
tendency has been upward, in wages,
speaking generally.
Findlay has just fairly begun to prof
1t by the reawakening under the new
tariff, but Improvement Is coming to her
industries now in unmistakable meas
ure. The employees at the Bell pottery
have just been accorded an increase In
wages amounting to 1914 per cent. as
the direct result Of the Dingley law.
This is a restoration Of Mckinley
wages, reduced under the operation of
the Wilson law.
On Saturday the Globe window glass
plant will begin blowing glass with an
increased force and wage advance of
from IL to 20 per cent This likewise is
directly traceable to the new protective
tariff, and is a restoration of wages lost
under the low tariff policy Of Grover
Cleveland.
These two advances of wages affect
something like 300 operatives and
amount to handsome sum to Findlay
each week. They constitute IA strong
argument for protection, not only
among the men directly concerned, but
among the infinitely larger number in
directly concerned.
The Republican party Is gradually
vindicating all its pledges to the coun-
try and the people. Nobody need 60
away from Findlay to find that out
