In 1900 there were 29,074,117 inch. For a number of years this tremendous aggre gate of human Ubor has been largely directed by tbe economic laws framed by the . Republican party, tbe most important of which is tbe McKinley tariff of 1900. We use the term im portant, advisedly for it directly determines the daily wages of 4,- 410,877 common laborerien the farms and 6,306,140 wage earn era in the 612,191 manufactor ies in the United Slates, a total of 9,717,020 wage earners. These were the numbers counted in 1900, there are now more than ten million wage earners in the United States tbatarepaid high er wages than any other laborers on eurtb, because of our pro tective tariff. Not one of these ten million of people but would be seriously affected by a change in the tariff, and if that change is to lower the rates, the chanee wouia De a reauction ot wages and in many instances a total failure to find employment. Tbe Observe.' will quote a few figures showing tbe difference between tbe wages paid in Europe and those paid for the same kind of service in the United States The wages of a blacksmith in England for an hours work in 1903 was 17 cento and 4 mills; in Germany he got 12 cents 3.7 mills; in France 16 cents 2.9 mills. The American black smith got 29 cents 6 1-6 mills for an hours work that year. A brick layer in England in 1903 received for an hours work 20 cents 6 1-6 mills; in Germany tbe wages per hour were 13 cents 2 4-6 mills; in Franoe 13 cents 2i mills and Belgium 8 cents 4t mills per hour. Brick layer's wages in the United States in 1903 were 64 cents 7.1 mills per hour. Carpenters received in Eng land in 1903, per hour, 20 oenti 2.8 mills; in Germany 13 cents and .1 oi a mill; in France 15 cents 4 2-6 mills per hour anil in Belgium 7 cents 1 1-6 mills. The average wages paid carpen ters in the United States iu 1903 were 35 cents 9 2-6 mills per hour. Laborers, general, were paid par hour in England iu 1903 an average of 10 cents 1.9 mills. The German common laborer got 7 cents 9.7 mills per hour; tlio French laborer received 9 cents 6i milis per hour, in Bel gium he received 5 cents 4.9 per hour. In the United States the common laborer in 1903 was paid 16 cents 7 3-5 mills per hour. The terms laborers, gen eral and common laborers as used above means unskilled la bor employed about factories. Iron moulders in England iu 1903 were paid 17 cents 8.7 mills per hour; in Germany in 1900 tbe rate was 11 cents and 4 mills; in Frauce in 1903 the rate pair) was 13 cents 1 mill per hour and in Belgium 6 cents 9 1-5 mills per hour. Iron mould ers in tbe United States for the year 1903 were paid 30 cents 31 3-5 mills per hour. ! The general trend of wages in the United States has been up-; ward for the past fourteen years. In 1890 the average wages of farm hands in the United States per month without board were! (183 and in 1902 months' service on the furm without board was worth (22.14. With board iu 1890, (12.45 were paid and in 1302(16 40. Should the Democrats succeed at tbe next election and cny ont their platform that denounc ea protection as robbery, tbe over ten millin wage earners in the United Stales will b fore d to work as cheaply as the same classes of laborers do iu Europe or quit work.
