Ten Wilson Reasons,

It is conceded by all that the cleo
ton OF Governor Wilson means an i'm
mediate downward revision of the tar
III. This is the cause OF the wild out
cry In certain quarters against the
election OF Governor Wilson.
The wool trust is crying out against
the election of Governor Wilson and
the downward revision Of the tariff.
The cotton mill trust is crying out
against the election Of Governor Will
son and the downward revision Of the
tariff. "
The harvester trust is crying out
against the election of Governor VIII
son and the downward revision Of the
tariff.
The. sugar trust Is crying out
against the election Of Governor VIII
son and the downward revision Of the
tariff.
The steel trust Is crying out against
the election of Governor Wilson and
the downward revision Of the tariff.
The Aldrich rubber trust is crying
out against the election Of Governor
Wilson and the downward revision Of
the tariff.
The Guggenheim smelter trust is
crying out against the election Of Gov
ernor Wilson and the down ward revi-
sion OF the tariff.
George w. Perkins, political agent
of the Morgan interests and the asso-
ciated trusts. is crying out against the
election OF Governor Wilson and the
downward revision Of the tariff. ".
Frank A. Munsey, press agent of the
steel trust. Is crying out against the
election Of Governor Wilson and the
downward revision OF the tariff.
Theodore Roosevelt, all things to all
trusts, the side show by which the in
terests" hope to divert public atten-
ton from the real issues Of the cam
paign. Is crying out against The cleo
ton OF Governor Wilson and the down
ward revision OF the tariff.
These are ten unanswerable reasons
why Governor Wilson should be elect
ed. and the downward revision OF the
tariff should begin.

Who IS PROTECTED?
BENEFITS THAT LABOR GETS
FROM THE TARIFF ARE VERY
SLIGHT INDEED.
SOME COTTON MILL FIGURES
FaiIacy Of Republican Arguments Con-
corning the Textile Trade 10 Pill
Iessly Exposed by Official State Sta
tistics Gathered In Massachusetts.

We have seen in this campaign few
things more delicious than the Repub.
lican campaign document In which
Theodore Justice speaks OF the tex
tile trade where the protective bene-
fits of the tariff nearly all go to labor"
Well, II they do, they are very slight.
The Massachusetts, bureau of statistics
has shown that while only So per cent
Of the $4,000 men. women and chill
dren in all the Industries get less than
$40 a week, rs per cent. OF the cotton
workers get less than that amount.
More than half the wage earners cov-
cred by this report receive less than
$40 week. And they are practically
all protected. In the Massachusetts,
cotton mills about half the employees
receive less than So week. 1t was
not long ago shown that in one OF the
highly protected industries 40 per
cent. of the employees did not make a
living wage -.
Figures might be piled high. but
those we have given will serve. It
may be laid down as general prin-
ciple that wages In protected indus
tries are almost without exception low
er than those in unprotected indus
tries' Wages OF from 81 to SO week
can hardly be called generous. As a
matter Of fact, they are not enough to
enable those who get them to main
tain the American standard Of liv-
ing" There are certain men who talk
q great deal about child labor. and
who seem to feel that employers kid
nap the children and make them work
in the mills. The truth, OF course, Is
that in our protected industries wages
are often so low that 1t Is necessary
for wives and children to go to work
in order to help support the family.
1t is surprising that Mr.. Justice and
others like him should think that the
American people can longer be fooled
by the old arguments" The figures
that disprove the theory are within the
reach of all. 1t is simply absurd to
say that in the textile industries the
protective benefits of the tariff nearly
all 60 to labor" The fact Is other
wise. In Mr.. Lauck's Atlantic article.
entitled "A Real Myth" is this:
"A yard of mans worsted suiting
was found by the tariff board to cost
an American mill 31.71 to place on the
market The rate Of payment to the
weaver on this cloth was ascertained
to be only cents yard. but the pres
emit tariff duty Is $1.02."
II we credit to protection the whole
cents which the laborer receives
which is absurd, since he would get
something. tariff or no taritf-we still
have 81 cents Of the tariff duty to &C
count for. Manifestly it does not go
to the workman, for he gets only
cents. We fear that 1t finds its way
into the pockets Of the employer. Here
is protective duty Of $1.02 designed
to cover the difference between labor
costs here and abroad, and yet the
total labor cost is cents. Mr.. Justice
can hardly expect the American work
ingmen to accept this statement. If
this is the best that protection can
do 1t is in bad way.-Indianapolis

Believes In Work.

Anne Morgan, daughter Of the finan-
cier, who does much work among
poor girls and others who earn consid-
cradle money through their own ef-
forts, advises the girls constantly to
save something. Her advice to them
always is: I'm times of prosperity, pre-
pare for adversely" Miss Morgan, in
fact, is firm believer that every
wealthy girl should be equipped to
earn her own living should anything
occur to take her fortune away.
