lrhe average weekly earnings OF
men employed in cotton mills in Mas
sachusetts, according TO a recent re-
Dor, issued by The Bureau OF Stats
lies Of that State. are Slo.22. The re-
suits Of an inquiry by the British
Board OF Trade shows that the aver
age weekly wages Of adult males IN
the cotton mills Of England are COS.
4d or in terms OF American money,
$7.i4 In other words. the difference
In money wages are ss.oS weekly IN
fuvor of the American operative.
The advocates OF protective tag
III only proceed this Gar with tho
oompartson. and conclude with the
unwarranted statement that pro-
tective tariff means higher wages
and better standard OF living Tor
the American mill worker The c:uX
Of the matter has not, however. been
reached. If we carry the relative
analysis into the question OF real
wages we find, according to an ex-
haust!ye ana authoritative study made
By the British Board OF Trade that
for each dollar which an English
workman cxpends in rent an Ameri-
can to secure the equivalent has TO
pay out S2o7 Furthermore. If an
American could buy his food in Great
Britain. he could purchase sl.25 worth
for each dollar he spends IN this
country. In other words an Amer
lean operative could purchase the
same standard OF comfort in the way
OF housing. food and clothing in Great
Britain for 81 for which ne pays Sl.45
at nome. The weekly money wages or
STA of English operatives Will, there
fore purchase Slightly more in Eng
land than the SlO.22. the money wages
of Massachusetts mill hand. Will
buy In New England. As conse-
quence. the real wages OF the cot
ton mill operative are greater in
Great Britain than in Massachusetts.
Recent tendencies IN the imm!gra-
lion movement give further proof TO
this Comparative statistical Showing.
Prior TO the year 1895 tho labor sup
ply Tor the New England cotton mills
was mainly recruited from English.
irish and German immigrants. Dur
ing the past fifteen years very few
members of these races have sought
work in the New England mills. for
the reason that the real inducement
TO Immigration in the form OF bet
ier standard OF living has been grad
ually disappearing. At the present
time English and Northern European
Immigration has practically ceased
The native american has left the in
dustry and Southern and Eastern Eu-
ropean operatives of exceedingly low
stand rda of living largely constitute
the operating forces Under our So
called heneAcent protective tariff. the
Sew England cotton mill operative
has. therefore, been reduced to low
or economic status than those OF
Great Britain, and the native Aneri-
can has been forced to leave tho IN
drslry because he canno, maintain
the standard Of living to which ho
las been accustomed. Republican
piattndes about higher wages Tor
American labor should fall on deaf
ears in New England this year.
