Therefore, the tariff has nothing whatever to do with
the fixing Of wages High duties are imposed, foreign
competition shut out aw-ma e monopoly created, in
order that the capitalists may rob his aborer with one
hand and the American consumer with the other.
Even when wages increase the advance in the
