WORK AND WAGES
UNDER PROTECTION
By WALTER ]. BALLARD.
(From Troy Times.)

Investigation by the United States
Bureau of Labor brings out the fact
that the average hourly wages in
1907 were higher than in any other
year of the eighteen-year period,
1890-1907, and more than twenty per
cent. higher than the average in any
year from 1890 to 1900. AS COM
pared in each case with the average
for ten-year period, 1890 to 1899,
average hourly wages in 1907 were
2S.S per cent. higher, the number of
employees in the 4169 establishments
investigated was 44.4 per cent. great
er and the average hours of labor
per week were five per cent. lower.
1t must be noted that the establish
ments investigated represented the
principal manufacturing and me-
chanical industries of the country,
says The American Economist, and
that the 2S.8 per cent. advance in
wages in 1907 over the average of a
ten-year period included four years
under Democratic low tariff. Not
only were wages higher, but 44.4 per
cent. more workingmen obtained en-
ployment, and the average hours of
labor were lower in 1907. This is
the best possible evidence of contin-
ued improvement in conditions among
the wage-earners of the country un-
der the present protective tariff.
The Bureau of Labor also reports,
1t is only fair to say, that the average
price Of thirty principal articles was
twenty per cent. higher in 1907 than
the average price for the ten years,
1890 to 1899. Against that is the
fact stated above that not only were
wages 28.8 per cent, but also the
further fact that 44.4 per cent. more
people were employed. And more:
Compared with the average for the
same ten-year period the purchasing
power of an hours wages in 1907

ONE OF C0UNTRY'S
GREATEST STATESMEN

The Rev. DR.. arthur ]. Brown, Sec
retary of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Presbyterian Church, and
author of book, entitled "The New
Era in the Philippines" also is en-
thusiastic over the work and the as
sistance which Taft, as Governor
General of the PHILIPPINES, gave to
the various religious sects in striving
to educate and uplift the Filipinos.
He spent several months in the ISL
ands when Governor Taft was there.
In his book he shows his appreciation
of Governor Taft's cooperation with
the church movement. He says that
Taft realized that the chief deficien-
cy Of the Filipino was character, and
that the church would help tremen-
dously in the education and moral
upbuilding of the natives. He
praises Taft's work in obtaining the
enactment of law which permits all
religious sects to own land in the
islands. Referring to the work of
the United States in the islands he
says:
LAS American citizens, we may
cherish a pardonable pride that dur
ing this emergence of our country as
an Asiatic power our national policy
has been shaped by such men as Pres
ident Mckinley, President Roosevelt,
Secretary of State Hay, Secretary Of
War Root and Governor-General Taft.
No other Americans since Washing
ton have had to grapple with more
| stupendous problems. Our history
furnished no precedents to guide the
new peoples, no intelligence to help.
Order, liberty and justice had to be
newly created out of chaos, bondage
and oppression.
Amid these extra and difficult con-
ditions these men have shown bold
ness of initiative, wisdom Of execu-
ton, fertility of resource and a
breadth of mind and heart which
place them among the greatest states
men. There should be no policies In
our support of their policy, no secta-
rianism in our prayer that tho God
Of nations may continue to guide
Alright those upon whom such solemn
responsibilities now rest"
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1908-10-28

was 6.S per cent. greater. That sat
isfactory fact cannot be gainsaid.
These facts show that under suf-
ficiently full protective tariff work
and wages increase faster than do
prices of needed commodities. Scar
city of work and low wages cannot
be compensated for by lower prices
for the food and things we need. All
our experience attests the truth of
that statement. What avail were
"low prices" in the dark days of '93-
80, when thousands of American
workmen and their families were
starving? What use is bread at
three cents loaf when the necessary
three cents are absent?
The American workman needs the
benefit of sufficiently full protect
i've tariff. He has that now, and to
retain 1t he must vote in November
next only for such men as Congress
men who can be depended upon to
surely guard his interests therein,
when the matter of tariff adjustment
comes up for discussion and voting
on the floor of the House.

HUGHES AND HIS ENEMIES.
The People Want the Man Who
Makes That Kind of Enemies.

Governor Hughes has not said, as
some of his critics pretend, that all
against him are crooks; he has said
that all the crooks are against him.
If this statement were false, 1t could
easily be proven untrue by naming
crooks who are for Hughes, and are
willing to give reasons for support
ing him.
The well-known fact is, however,
that Governor Hughes Is telling the
truth. He is opposed by every thief
and every near-thief in New York;
by every gambler, every bunco-
steerer and swindling bookmaker,
who have seen their usual prey
snatched from their clutches by
Hughes. They all hate him, and
they all want him defeated, and they
are all going to be disappointed on
the night of November 3.
A large majority of the people of
New York believe in decent amuse-
ments and wholesome recreation, but
they are not prepared to admit that
the bookmaker and bunco-steerer,
the racing tout and the poolroom-
keeper represent that class of amuse-
ments, or that their disappointment
in being interfered with in their out
lawed occupations merits the SYM
pathy of citizens who live moral and
respectable lives.
The opponents of Governor Hughes
are making a big noise-some OF
them have a practice of doing that
but while they are shouting the law
abiding citizen is thinking, and the
more he "loves him for the enc
mics he has made" and the more
determined he is to help in re-elect-
ing him. November Sd will prove
that New York is not ready to sur.
render to the crooks and grafters
who are moving every sinister force
at their. command to defeat the off,
cial who has done his duty
