High Tariff: Reduced wsges.

Thirty-two thousar operatives in
the Gotten mills of New England have
had their wages cut 10 per cent and
they do not view lower wages and
higher cost of living as prosperity for
them whatever it may be for the pro-
tected trusts. Then again the en-
ployes Of the American Tin Plate com
pany. part of the steel trust, have re-
turned to work at a 20 per cent re-
duction of their wages and they do
not feel prosperous. If the republi-
can party had permitted the amend
mcnt to the Cuban reciprocity bill
abolishing the differential extra duty
on refined sugar. the saving of seven
or eight million dollars to the cotton
and tin plate operatives and other
consumers would have helped 10 tide
over the long cold winter that has
just begun. But the sugar trust was
more influential with republican con-
gressmen than the people and by TAX
ing off 20 per cent of the duty on Gu
ban raw sugar they presented the
sugar trust with the opportunity to
make. a. increased profit, almost 10 a
dollar what the people would have
SaNeu DN the dDOliSHlHS OF the extra
duty on refined sugar. which the
democratic amendment proposed to
abolish The leaders of this same re-
publican congress have agreed with
President Roosevelt that reciprocity
for the sugar trust and Cuba was the
most important legislation that was
necessary, and they have further
agreed that no reform of the tariff in
its shelter to the trusts is needed
With no reduction or abolition of tar
iff taxes the numerous trusts. that
are protected like the sugar trust. can
continue 10 eXtort their enormous
profits. If the tariff taxes were re-
duccd to reasonable figure, enough
TO produce what the government

trusts would have to reduce their
