WAGES Aid COST OF LIVING.
: .
Secretary Shaw Offers Himself a Liv
ing Sacrifice.

The Shaw tariff speech that he II
delivering to Republicans in southern
| states follow SO closely the stand-pa
arguments Of the inspired Republican
campaign book that one is forced tt
believe that the expert" who is re
puted to have been the author of thai
claims everything" compilation must
also have written Shaw's speech. But
whoever wrote the Shaw speech ex
posed the fallacy of the whole argu
ment of the advantage of selling
abroad cheaper than here by assuming
that the producer and the consumer
belong to two separate and distinct
classes instead of being the same mass
of people. Mr.. Shaw says that 'if it
was necessary to pay more for his
clothes, shoes, his sewing machine, his
typewriter and his barber wire," he
was willing 80 long as the products
OF American looms clothe and the
products of American labor generally
supply every need of those who pro-
duce these things thus sold abroad at
reduced prices" Secretary Shaw thus
sacrificing himself On the altar of his
country for the benefit of the balance
OF us, is a species of altruism only ex-
hibited when the exigencies of Repub
l1can campaigns require such sacri
fees. These workingmen for whom
Mr.. Shaw is so willing to impoverish
himself, who receive American wages,
also pay American prices and the
value of their wages is determined b.
what their wages will buy Under the
trust-breeding era of the present tariff
law the average price of all commod-
tiles has risen Al per cent. since 1897.
II wages or incomes have not kept
pace with that extraordinary imitation
then the consumer, whether working
man, or tradesman, or professional
man, Is losing by the trust-fostering
system that compels him to pay higher
prices for many of the necessities of
life than the trusts sell the same
necessities to the foreigner for.
Can any one but the trust magnates,
or the Republican politicians of the
Shaw stripe, say that protectionism is
a square deal, when workingmen and
others have to pay higher domestic
prices in order that foreigners may
get the products of their labor at lower
prices? If our nimble workmen had
raw materials, free of tariff tax, with
which to produce for the home and
foreign market and if freer inter
change of products under a tariff for
revenue made the general range of
prices lower, they could not only sup
ply our own needs, but produce enough
more at those lower prices to vastly
increase our foreign trade. Under
hat condition of freer trade, lower
prices would induce greater consump-
ion at home and greater demand from
abroad. /
Wages would be lower in dollars
md cents but they would be vastly |
higher in purchasing power and the |
tandard of living would improve more
nd more. Whereas it now requires
1.47 to buy what did cost 81 before
he present tariff law was enacted,
With reduced cost of living, through
he tariff restrictions being reformed
nd revised, wages, salaries and in
ONES would be actually greater be
ause dollar would go as far as near
!; $3.50 does to-day.

At intervals during the past few
years the writer has called attention to
the possibilities of ginseng culture in
Mississippi. An acre of this plant at
seven or eight years of ageis said to be
worth some $4,000. What it would
cost to produce this acre of ginseng is
probematical, out surely nothing like
it would be worth. At Hickory Flat,
in Benton county, Rev. w. E. Crum is
growing bed that is now about four
years old. Near. Aberdeen another
planting was made last year and in the
course of time we will know from actual
experience what can be done with the
plant in Mississippi. 1t grows wild in
the northern section of the State and it
appears reasonable that it could be cul-
tivated successfully.
Attention to our timber wealth is
keeping up with the same interest as of
yore. Prospectors from all sections of
the country are in the State every week
and the increase in price does not seem
to deter them in the least. The i'm
mense wealth of our State in timber
continues to be one of our principal as
sets.
Ys.~oo City has been having some
