THE SECRET or "pRosrERIry.v

Eastern papers favorable to the admins
tratlon and to the economic and financial
policies now in operation under the repub-
licans are boastingly pointing to the In
creases in wages In certain lines of indus
try recently as tho evidence OF pros
perity which these republican policies have
produced.
II is claimed that the increased exports
of manufacture and the increased demand
at home have given the manufacturers
such a booming business that they are
disposed to share the profits with their
laborers. This new export and domestic
demand is OF course attributed to the
Dingley tariff.
1t is pertinent to Inquire why these ad-
dltions to wages we're not made last year
II the Dingley bill is to be credited with
them? Exports were greater than ever be-
fore In our history. Why wait until the
rumblings of another presidential cam
paign arc heard before affordlng this evil
dence Of prosperity"
But the deceptive character of this cry
OF prosperity and of the increases In wages
tudt nave Detu noted, 40 easily unQerStOOd
when we probe into the situation to only
a limited extent The high tariff has been
practically prohibitive. 1t has given the
American manufacturers monopoly of
the home market which has been further
improved for them by combinations They
have raised prices at home and in that
way have been able to reduce their prices
abroad BY making their American Gus
toners compensate them for any losses in
Cured in their foreign trade they have
been able to point to large increase in
exports and inspire friendly organs with
the cry OF phenomenal prosperity"
In word. the Nation has been made
to contribute an extra amount OF money
TO the manufacturers in order that the lat
ter could point to an expanding foreign
commerce. What prosperity" there is
has been bought and paid fer ct an OK
orbtant figure by the American people.
