THESE WAGE REDUCTIONS.

High tariff advocates will have to
revise their pet theories because of
the wage reductions inaugurated by a
number Of large corporations. Under
democratic administration these re-
ductlons would be easily explained. -
but to have them come while the re-.
pubIicans are il power plays havoc
with the tariff mans ideas OF the TT
ness of things.
Several dSys ago the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel and Tin
workers accepted a reduction of 10
per cent i'll wages. January 1st all
employees Of the Union Railroad com
pany. concern connected with the
Cornegie Steel company, had 10 &C
cede to q similar reduction. \ cut of
20 per cent has been announced by the
American Bridge comptny, affecting
nearly 1000 men. Three thousand
blast furnace workers will have to
accept Il reduction of the same smount
and the western coal operators ale con-
sidering SIMILAR proposition.
The tariff is higher now than at any
other time in the coGntrA's history
and the one argument that is constant
ly advanced in favor of keeping it at
this figure is that wages are thereby
maintained at the highest possible
point. There seems to be something
wrong with the theory at present. Up
to the present time no explanation has
been offered by the high tariff organs,
and probably the matter will not be
extensively touched upon. 1t IS really
delicate proposition to see such
wholesale wage reduction under re-
publican rule.
This only goes to show the folly of
the claim that the administration is
responsible for prosperous conditions.
1t Is true n times agitatlOns of
certain questions, like the tariff or
finance, has II tendency to disturb
commerce, but there are other condi-
tions that have greater influence,
although the republicans VIII not ad-
init it. They claim the Dingley law
Is responsible for high wages. Ii it is,
