commodities have been gradually
raised only because cooperation OF
manufacturers made 1t possible The
economy of operation claimed to be
one benefit obtained ny consolidation
or manufacturing interests, is sham
as far as the consumer Is concerned.
Necessities are dearer in price and all
the time advancing, and a. the same
time the quality of commodities is de-
preciating. Under the natural law OF
supply and demand. the prices OF all
commodities should have been re-
duced during the general business de-
preston of this year, when the de-
mand fell OF, in some instances so
per cent But wholesale and retail
prices were maintained at the high
level and some goods have shown
further advances. This is a topsy-
turvy system, and anything built up
side down cannot last The manuf4c-
turers favored by an excessively high
tariff have created an artificial condi-
ton which may appear to be only 4

statistical showing of Professor John

Also, by taking the United States
census returns OF manufactures, labor
engaged and wages paid, it viii be
seen that the 4 per cent. difference
between the increased price OF COM
modities and the increased wages
paid to labor engaged in manufactur-
ing enterprises alone. gives a vast
sum in the aggregate. In round fig
ures wages in manufactures have
been increased one billion dollars
since 1897. and the per cent differ
ence would thus give manufacturers
$40,000,000. II the percentage of Ia
Dor employed in manufacturing is
compared with all salaried labor, and
taking the manufacturing figures as
a basis, the per cent difference
gives to manufactures over one hun
dred and four millions annually. This
tax upon the wage-earners is paid in
small amounts upon every article they
purchase and it shows the possibili-
ties of the falsely-calied economic sys-
tenn born of the protective tariff.

Glass bricks for pavements because
there will be no iron tires and glass

which the police can wash out at will
