When we reached the terminus, I told
the conductor that could have the So

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.
What Protection Has Done for the
IabOrer.

The New York Mail and Express has
these important facts bearing on the ques-
tlons at issue in the present campaign.
The victories of peace during the last
year have been no less renowned than
those of war. An industrial census of
leading industries in fOrty-scvCn states
and territories. prepared by Congressman
Robert w. Taylor of Ohio. for the Ameri
can Protective Tariff league. shows that
the amount of wages paid to labor in the
first nine months of 1898 has been Al per
cent. greater than in 1895. or an increase
of over Il billion dollars. This increase
III wages il only in the manufacture of
certain leading products. If 10 this fig
ura should be adit the amount of wages
paid in agriculture. mining and the smaller
manufacturing industries. the gain in 1S9S
over 1895 would undoubtedly reach the
enormous total of two thousand million
dollars. This is what protection has done
for the country since the close of Cleve-
lands disastrous administration.
During the same period the value Of do
mcStic exports of merchandise from the
nted States increased from S1933 3d.
.tiD 10 81 1.210.291 .913. For the first time
in the history of the country the value of
our exports of manufactured goods during
the year ended June 80. 1898, exceeded
the value of the imports.
In his last annual message to Congress,
in December, 1892, President Harrison
was able to show that the country was at
the hgh-WateF mark of prosperity. AL
most Immediately upon the inaugural;
of President Cleveland and the threat OF
free trade which at once impcndel the
country was plunged into dependency
and business disaster. The attack upon
the protective tariff subsequently embod-
led in the Wilson law only increased the
depression, which continued until ticve-
land finally went OF of office. Now. once
more under Republican protective tariff,
the country has attained even Il greater
degree of prosperity than under the lIar
riSou administration.
