The following twenty reasons conclu sively show that high tariffs do not make high wages : I. Because to say that age earners as a body can increase their wages by paying high tariff taxes, which fall mainly upon them, is to say that a man can increase his wealth by picking his own pocket. 3. Because the value of wages consists not in money, but in the articles which money buys,and the express object of a high tariff is to'make these articles dear.thus de creasing the real reward of labor. 3. Because the high tariff policy, while ta-ing the wage earner upon marly every thing that he has to buy, gives him no pro tection upon the only thing he has to sell. We have free trade in human labor. 4. Because wages represent the wage earner's share of what he himself produces, and are high or low according as his pro duction is large or small. 5. Because the wages of even the one wage earner out of ten claimed to be "pro tected" are determined by general causes rathei than by the tariff. 6. Because if a high tatiff raises wages at all, its first and greatest effect must be in the "protected" industries, whereas the rate of wages is considerably lower in these industries than in the unprotected ones. 7. Because the high rate of wages in the United States is due to other causes than a high tariff, such as the extent ot unsettled territory, the large returns of agriculture, the natural resources of the country, the extensive use of improved machinery, the intelligence and energy of the working pop ulation and the greater efficiency of their labor. 8. Because at least nine wage earners out of every ten in this country are engaged in occupations not subject to the competi tion of foreign importations, so that the rate of wages which they receive cannot be in any degree dependent on a high tariff 9. Because a high tariff upon raw mate rials raises the cost of manufacturing, re stricts the market for goods, and prevents the manufacturer from paying as high wages as he would have to if his material were freer. 10. Because the rate of wages increased faster in this countly in the low tariff period between 1850 and i860 than it ever has since under a high tariff. 11. Because wages were high in the United States compared with those paid in other countries before it ever had a high tariff or any tariff. 1 2. Because China has enjoyed for thous ands of years the full benefits of high tariff "protection," while her wages for skilled labor are 20 cents a day, and Chinese immi gration in search of higher wages has be come a mrr.ace to American wage earners, 13. Because there are greater differences between rates of wages paid in different parts of this country ,all subject to the same high tariff, than between rates of wages in Massachusetts and in England. 14. Because the rate of wages has in creased from 50 to 100 per cent in England since she abandoned the high tariff policy. and because her wages are from 50 to 100 per cent higher than in the high tariff coun tries In continental Europe. 15. Because a high tariff fosters tiusts and other combinations of capital for rais, ing the price of everything but labor, and destroys that competition for labor between different employers which is the great agency in rai-ing its wages. 16. Because if the manufacturer really believed that a high tariff compelled him to pay high wages, he would be a low tariff man. 17. Because the manufacturer does not raise his rate of wages when he gets a high cr tariff duty upon his product; the tmnu- facturcr who makes large profits out of the tariff can undoubtedly pay high wages, but he dosen t. 18. Because the average amount of wages paid by the protected manufacturer in the production of $1 worth of goods is less than 20 cents, while the average tariff tax is 47 cents, leaving 27 cents for the pofits of the manufacturer and the extra cost of raw materials due to the tariff. ly. Because Hie theory that a high tariff makes high wages is principally advanced to men who have never shown any sym pathy with legislation to promote the wel fare of the wage-earners, by doctrinaire protectionists, political paitisans, and man ufacturers who have a selfish interest of their ow n. Jo. Because this theory is opposed bv the Democratic party, made up principally of w age-earners, arid ever seeking to promote their true interests. The tariff question was discussed at the weekly ministers' meeting at Saratoga on Monday, in which resident and visiing clergymen took part. The Rev. Dr. Iler, rick Johnsonof Chicago cited Illaine'scoach ing trip to disprove the Maine man's state ment that the wages of American working- men cannot be reduced without their con. sent, and saiu: "Andrew Carnegie made a difference of $1,500,000 in the aniiul profits of his iron mills by forcing his men to sub mit to a reduction of 10 per cent, in their wages, for no just cause, and he spent a portion of that sum in tacking Mr. Blaine and family on that coaching trip through England and Scotland." David Bennett Hill was renominated yesterday by the democrats of New York for Governor of that state by acclamation and amid great enthusiasm. Eight months ago the Democrat predicted that Grover and David would make the spanking team that would pull New York into the demo cratic column this fail. We adhere to the prediction. Ske Thkm.
