and those on the western coasts OF
Mexico and Central and South Amer
lea. These should be followed up with
direct steamship lines between the
eastern coast of the United States and
South American ports. One OF the
needs of the times is direct CONNER
cial lines from our vast fields of pro-
duction to the fields of consumption
that we have barely touched. Next
in advantage to having the thing TO
sell is to have the conveyance to carry
it to the buyer. We must have more
ships. They must be under the Ameri-
can flag, built and manned and own
ed by Americans. These will not only
be profitable in a commercial sense;
they will be messengers of peace and
amity wherever they go. We must
build the isthmian canal, which will
unite the two oceans and give a straight
line of water communication with the
western coasts of Central and South
america and Mexico. The construc-
ton of a Pacific cable cannot be longer
postponed.
"In the furtherance of these objects
of national interest and concern you
are performing an important part. This
exposition would have touched the
heart ca that American statesman
whose mind was ever alert, and though
ever constant for a larger commerce
and a truer fraternity of the republics
Of the new world, his broad American
spirit is felt and manifested here. He
needs nc identification to an assem-
blage of Americans anywhere, for the
name Of Blaine is ~inseparably associ-
ated with the Pan-American movement
which finds here practical and sub
~stantial expression, and which we all
hope will be firmly advanced by the
Pan-American Congress that assem-
bles this autumn in the capital of Mex
leo. The good work will go on.

These buildings will disappear; this
creation Of art and beauty and indus
try will perish from sight, but their
influence will remain to

have been awakened, the emotions
fired and the high achievements that
will be wrought through this EXPOSE
ton? Gentlemen, let us eve remem-
Der that our interest is in concord, not
conflict, and that our real eminence
rests In the victories of peace, not
those of war. We hope that all who

higher and nobler effort for their own
and the worlds good, and that out of
this city may come not only greater
commerce and trade for us all, but
more essential than these, relations of

remarking, apologeticallyi apropos to
our trade relations with the world: I'VE
must not repose in fancied security that
we can forever sell everything and buy
little or nothing. If such a thing were
possible, it would not be best for us or
for those with whom we deal" If
a Democrat delivered himself of this
p.atitude, the trust organs would at
once raise a howl of Free Tradei" So

MAKING THE FIGURES LIE.

That while figures don't lie, liars
sometimes figure is exemplified in the
efforts OF the Old Lady of Fourteenth
street to show that the rate of wages OF
American labor has increased under the
tariff-for-trusts-only.
The favcrite dodge of Republican or
gans heretofore has been to prove
this claim by quoting the increase IN
the aggregate which of course has
been enormous, in spite Of the decrease
in the RATE of wages. The essential
fact that the remuneration of the indi-
vidual workingman has steadily de-
creased as the tariff has grown higher
has always been carefully concealed in
the p~retentious masses of figures pub
lished by the trust organs.
The smooth Old Girl of Fourteenth
street has a new dodge, however, to
%s.prove'' that wages have risen under
high protection. Taking the latest fig
ures of United States Commissioner of
Labor Carroll D. Wright, which nave
already been the subject of comment in
these columns, the cute Old Thing APP
parently makes these statistics show
exactly the opposite of what they really
do show. For example she says:
at is shown that in all the principal
trades the wages paid in the United states
are far above those received by the wage
workers of other countries. Also 1t is
shown that within the past century there
- a materially increase of wages
~~--Tking hours. AS a
whole, the report making a showing that
should be gratifying to American work
ingTnen, and conducive to a commended
frame Of mind
"As a whole" the report shows moth
ing of the sort. Indeed it shows ex-
actly the reverse. The Ancient Organ
list conceals the entire pith and point
of it. She takes the increase in the
rate of wages for a CENTURY and
credits it all to the high tariff period of
the past thirty years. The fact is the
increase in the rate of wages in the
past century has been almost solely I'M
der what the Ancient Organist would
call the free trade period prior to
the civil war. while ever since the es-
Enlistment of the high tariff-which,
by the way. was adopted purely as a
war revenue measure-the rate Of
wage in nearly every branch of Amer
lean industry has steadily fallen.
In other words. the Ancient Dame
juggles Commissioner Wright's statis-
ties until Mr.. Wright himself would
not know them.
If she wanted the facts about the ten
dency of the rate of wages under the
tariff-for-trusts-only she need only
have stepped out of the Fourteenth
street cockloft and inquired of the first
old time ironworker she met as to the
trend of wages since the wal in the
most highly protected industry OF all.

annexation proposition. She viii never
