Low WAGES ABROAD.
Comparison Of Interest to Ameri-
can Workers.
Reading This Statement From Lon
don, Can Any One Question the
Wisdom Of Republican Party's
Protective Policy7

A London dispatch announcing the
intention of the Reuter- Telegram com.
pany to substitute boys for girls in its
messenger service after the eth Of
this month throws incidentally light
on the low compensation of labor in
Europe. when 1t quotes as follows an
explanatory statement of the manag.
ing director:
1T is purely matter Of expense.
Our experience of girl messengers has
convinced us they are from fifty to
sixty per cent. dearer than boys. The
wages Of girls vary. Some are earn.
ing twelve shillings apS others eleven
shillings week. Their hours are
from . o'clock in the evening. They
finish early Saturday afternoons, and
not begin work again till the follow.
ing Monday On the other hand, the
boys-and there are two separate
staffs. one for day work and one for
night work-take messages to the
newspaper offices. Their wages
range from eight shillings up to ten
shillings weekly"
Think OF what these wages mean In
American money. The compensation
of the girls. which now, 1t seems, is
considered too high, is $275 and SO
per week. The wages for which boys
can be got to do the work are 81
week to $3.50. Is It wonderful that
Europeans crowd into the United
States, attracted by the higher wages
and better conditions of living which
have existed in this country under the
system OF protection to American la.
Dor that the Democrats have underta.
ken to supersede. Is II wonderful that
there are American manufacturers
who feel apprehensive of what may
follow the attempt to compete with
foreign rivals who hire labor at wages
far below those which prevail here?
There are signs that recently this fear
has begun to extend to the ranks OF
labor. 1t always has been the claim
of advocates OF the protective system
that no class OF the community is
more concerned in the maintenance OF
protection than the men who work for
wages.
