WITHOUT being asked for 1t. From s
to O per cent has been added to the
wages of all men employed in the
rehneries of the branch companies
About $4,000 men have been af-
fected by the increase. The highest
percentage of increase in the case
of the Standard Oil company goes
to the lowest paid employees. the
percentage decreasing in proportion
/, to the persons salary,
The Consolidated Gas company
has added 10 per cent to the pny of
all its employees who are drawing
less the So, 900 year. This affects
$500 of the 5000 men on the COM
pany's payroll. The increase will
add $500, 900 year to the fixed
charges of'the company.
Two big express companies, the
Adams and the American, have
made increases affecting large per-
centage of their employees.
Many banks and trust companies
have admitted their employees into
an increased share of the general
prosperity, Most of theses increases
meyer come to the knowlege of the
public. but they are made Just the
sime. The Brownsville branch of
the State Bank in Brooklyn voted
its officers and employees who had
seen ten years service gratuity
of 20 per cent of their annual sal
aries and 10 those who had seen less
than ten years service gratuities
ranging in amount from 10 to IS
per cent. The directors of the
Union Bank in Brooklyn gave their
employees dinner. At each mans
plate was a fla. new pocketbook
with two weeks salary In it. Au-
gust Belmont & Co. and many other
downtown firms will give bonuses to
their employees before the new year
begins.
Among the employees of the
Remington typewriter works at lion
more than SIG, 900 in gold was dis
tnbuted the other day as bonuses.
About two hundred and seventy
employees received money averag-
ing some $50 each.
While the railroads aud big cor
porations have been announcing in
creases, savings banks have been
offering added inducements for de-
posts by raising the interest rate
from 81 to 4 per cent. Among
the New York banks that have done
this are the Bowery Savings Bank,
the Dry Dock Savings Bank, the
Metropolitan Savings Bank, the
Irving Savings Bank and the Ger
man Savings Bank.

18th all ITS Faults; Instead Of Scourged Janaica2
Protection's Great Reward to
Labor

January hrst Just passed ana the
months preceding saw the greatest
advance in wages ever known in
country. The advance is the more
remarkable because it was based on
the highest rate known in this or
any other land. A 10 per cent in
crease to the wages of the laborer
under the Free Trade Tariff of IS4o
would have meant daily gain of
from S to 10 per cent increase under
the pingley Tariff in r9o6.7 means
a gain of 20 to 50 cents day, or
from 500 to $3.50 year; the gain
itself being more than the entire
wage of some foreign competitors.
The Dingley Tariff has brought
most wor drous changes to our in
dustrial life. Under it our fCrelgn
trade has doubled; the value of our
farm products has doubled; the
volume of employment has changed
from the idleness of millions to a
veritable labor famine in all parts of
the country. Our manufacturers
are unable to supply the demands
of our prosperous people, and we
are buying over $1,000, 900, 900
worth of foreign products.
Remarkable as are all these re-
suits, they do not equal in import
ance rhe increased rewards to labor.
The secretary of the Railroad
General Managers's Association says
the railroad employees wi this year
receive over 81, 900, 600 in
wages, more than double what the
the railroad employees of 1896 re-
ceived. Here is gain of over
100 per cent in the past ten years.
These are so. called "non-protecled'
workers, and ye; they are among
the greatest recipients of the reward
of Protective Tariff.
The condition of street and ele
vated railroad employees is similar.
The next largest increase has been
given to the metal workers, "Brad
streets" estimates that the annua
pay roll in .he Pittsburgh District
alone exceeds $3.50, 900, 900. an in
crease over two years ago of SIoo,
900, 900.
The textile workers of New En-
gland and elsewhere have had theil
share too in the increase of wages,
the gain amounting to many millions
of dollars. The express companies
employees, coal and iron and cop
per miners, boot and shoe operators
and the laborers in thousands of
mills and factories have had an in.
crease during the past year over the
increases of the years preceding un-
der the Dingley Tariff.
The laborers Of the Uhited States
have been trebly benefited first by
continuous employment; second, by
higher wages; third, by shorter
hours; and we might add, fourth,
by an increase of interest rates in
savings banks where they have over
So, 900, 900, 900 on desposit at a per
cent now. in most cases, instead of
3 and 81 per cent formerly. And
still the labor demand is not equal
to the supply, and we are easily ab-
sorbing half a million new wage
Gamers annually from abroad, who.
with their families. add over a mil
lion new consumers each year to in
crease the demand for American
agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts.
Inthe light of the above facts it
would seem foolish, yes, criminal,
to change Tariff policy which has
given such unprecedented rewards
to the workers of the county,
