The Massachusetts Bureau Of Labor
Statistics has issued an interesting
bulletin of wages embodying COM
parison between the wages paid in 1870
and 1898 in Boston In eighteen selected
trades, and the average wages paid in
the same years in the same trades in
twelve cities of the United States. In
Boston among the eighteen trades six
have suffered a reduction in wages
since 1870, while twelve show an in
crease. It is noticeable that the re-
ductions have occurred, with but one
exception, in trades associated with
the iron industry. The concentration
of that industry IN other parts of the
country since 1870 will account for the
decrease Of wages in cheese trades in
Boston. In the twelve other trades
Boston shows substantial increase in
the rate of wages paid. For the twelve
other cities of the United States which
serve as the basis of comparison there
has been an advance of wages in all
but two cases, and in neither of these
has there been reduction in 1898 as
compared with 1870, the average beirg
the same in the two years.

facturers say that never in the history of
this gigantic iron and glass center was
the demand for iron and glass so great,
and this demand is such that who
are pressing the orders cannot be sup
piled.
Here Is description of industrial
conditions under q protective tariff.
All sections of the country tell the
same story.
The timed plate industry has proved
the efficiency of the protective policy
as applied to that industry. In 1891,
the year following the application OF
protective rates to the imports of timed
plate, the United State imported more
than SS5, 600, 900 worth of timed plate
Under protection the imports began to
fall off. and the domestic industry was
built up and fostered, and it thrived to
marked degree. In 1892 the imports
fell to $12,OOO,OOO worth, then in 1896
to 100000 worth: and last year the
imports of timed plate were about 3d.
OOO, 900 worth. The total domestic
production of timed plate in 1892 was
given at about Is, 900, 900 pounds. This
prodution had risen to 100000, 900
pounds in 1896, and the estimate for
last year was 6Sl 900, 900 pounds.
