TARIFF nI>CUSSIo!:s.

In the House Of Representatives On
May 23j, Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi.
the Democratic floor leader, replied to
the argument OF DalzJll and lands,
republicans.
Mr.. Williams made il very clear that
the object OF the stand-patters was not
to keep wages high, but to enable cap
ital invested in certain lines OF mani
featuring to realize enormous uncarncd
profits. He showed that we are receir-
year to compete in the home labor
market, and tia! with such practically
unlimited competition the price Of labor
the purchasing power Of a days work
was decreasing; while the price Of
trust made and highly protected articles
like building materials. clothing, etc,
was rapidly increasing. In other words,
that the cost Of living since the passage
~ the Dippley bill had increased i6 per
cen under the operation OF that law;
but that the high cost OF living, which
is the only check on immigration, was
not yet sufficient To protect tho home
labor market, and never would be until
labor conditions i'll this country became
the same as they are in eastern Europe
and Western Asia, from which the bulk

pockets OF laborers immense revenue to

Mr.. Williams traced the cause Of our
apparent prosperity to the vast increase
in the supply OF gold due TO the dis
covery OF new mines in Alaska Pud
South Africa and the cyanide process Of
treating gold ores. Plenty Of money,
arising from these causes, had stimu.
lated production and consumption III all
directions. The tariff had not contrib.
uted to prosperity, but had really hind
cred it. IL there had been a tariff oi
fifty or sixty per cent on colo, ne there
