Waterbury Democrat., 1902-10-20

While the republican campaign ora- tors are talking of the great benefit of protection to the American laborer 1t might be well to notice the statistical history of the world on the relation of protection and wage schedules. A study of this history will reveal a mar vicious discrepancy between it and the claim of the high protectionist on the wage schedules of the high protected industries. Russia has the highest protective system of Europe and the lowest schedules of wages. Austria, Germany and France follow in regular order, and that one with the lower tariff in each case pays higher wages, and the much dreaded free trade England'' has for forty years paid higher wages than any other country 4l of the Eastern hemisphere.
