WAGES AND THE TARIFF.
More Than All Else Protection Pro-
tects the Welfare of the Amer
lean Workingman.

The democratic platform denounces
the protective tariff policy Of the re-
publican party as "a robbery of the
many for the enrichment of the few"
We cannot keep this assertion before
the people and the wage earners toe
often. 1t will be iteration and reitera-
ton. Many eminent economists, with
free-trade leanings, of course, have de-
clared that the only thing which a
protective tariff protects is labor. The
democratic party, says the Wheeling
Intelligencer, has declared otherwise
The London IronmOnger some years
ago declared strenuOusly that this is
a fact. 1t stated that labor was the
only thing which a protective tariff
really protected 1t has been asserted
by many other statisticians that the
protective tariff is all that keeps the
wages of the American worFingmen at
the high level which they have reached
There are many people who would like
to see these wages reduced to the Eu-
pean level. They say it is wholly un-
natural that the wage earnerS of the
United States should receive wages so
much higher than are paid by the other
nations of the world. 1t is very likely
that this is what troubles a good many
fTee-tradeTs of this country. They be-
leve that we should get down to the
level Of wages in Europe, and that the
only way to accomplish this is to get
down to a free-trade basis. The franz
