Free Trade England.

AS TO wages, they say that "the
fear tnat wages would fall if the tar
ic were removed, and the fall in pric-
es would not be a clear gain to the
consumer, is not warranted by the ex.
Derience of Great Britain. Great
Britain is free-trade nation, and II
is the most prosperous nation in the
world except our own. Shoals OF
emigrants from the tariff-ridden ma
tions of France, Germany, Italy and
Russia, go to England to work. But
Englisnmen do not emigrate to those
| countries because the standard of ffv
ing is lower. The general testimony
Is that the rate of wages for all me
chanical trades Is substantially high
or in Great Britain than in those
| protectionist countries, while the
prices of necessities are lower, leav
ing the Englishman a wider margin
to live upon.
1T is about sixty years since Great
| Britain adopted free trade, and during
that time, according to a table pub
| lished in Wntaker's Almanac, wages
have increased S1.7 per cent anJ
prices only 3 per cent, 1t is, there
fore, well seen that the abolition OF
the tariff in England, did not bring
down the rate of wages. If we remove
tle obstruction, allowing prices tc
sink to their natural level, the ques
ton Of wages may be trusted to take
care of itself"

The law says they are. and a decision soon
must be reached by Secretary MacVeagh as
to the latitude to be given in the interpre-
tation of the statute.
Many inquiries have reached the Internal
Revenue Bureau on the subject. Some of
them are expressions of satisfaction that
an opportunity may be afforded to examine
the operations of corporations in which, the
writer's say, though financially interested,
they have not been able to learn the extent
OF their transactions or ascertain other in
formation of Importance to stockholders.
Already corporations have complied with
the law in numerous cases, according to re-
ports from various collectors In some
cases also checks have been inclosed for
the amount of the assessments. as cacu-
lated by the corporations sending them.
The checks are deposited with the col
lectors' accounts. The assessments paid.
however. are subject 10 verihcation by the

difference will be collected.
The tax is not collectible before June. and
