LABOR’S SHARE. PROTECTION CAN GIVE NOTHING TO WORKINGMEN WHILE LABOR ' IS ON THE FREE LIST. The Laborer Now Competes With Lowest Responsible Bidder of the World Low Prices Stimulate Both Consumption and Production Example of Steel Rail Pool. Ono of the best speeches made in the house while the Dingley bill was being discussed was made by John C. Bell of Colorado. With facts which are indisputable and logic which is unanswerable he exposed many of the fallacies of protection. His exposure of the absurd claim that protection helps the workingman is especially good. Here is a part of it: “Bnt our friends upon the other side ■ say that they levy a tariff for the benefit of the wageworkers. I say to you that any tariff bill, I care not from whom it comes, that does not contain a provision for prohibiting the free inflow of immigration from foreign countries is oblivious of the rights of labor ' and is opposed to the interest of all i wageworkew. [Applause.] "Protection is always asked in the I interest of others. Now, observe how it is asked in behalf of the poor laboring ■ man—just enough to cover the difference between the European scale of wages and our own. What hypocrisy! Who ever heard of the laboring man getting rich manufacturing? The sta- ; tistieians clearly figured from the cen- | SUS of 1880 that about 6 per cent on our dutiable list would cover the difference between the European wage schedule and inns, or that- about 18 per cent ad valorem covered the entire labor cost ■ of our list of 1880. While the manufacturer then asked for the poor laborer his 6 per cent he got for himself at the hands of congress six times 6 per cent. “Is there any reason why a high tariff affects wages injuriously? Yes; by enabling employers to build up a vicious trust system for the manufacturer and against the laborer. The high tariff makes the manufacturer complete master of the wageworker. “In the review of R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, dated Feb. 12, it is stated: “ ‘No other event of the week approaches in importance the disruption of the steel rail pool. In two days, ’ says the report, ‘after it a greater tonnage of rails was probably purchased than tbe entire production of the last year, reported at 800,000 tons. Ami instead of S2B in December and $25 in January, sl7 is now the piice at which works east and west are seeking orders. And further,’ says the report, ‘the Carnegie company has been selling at sl7, Chicago delivery. These sales will employ many thousand bands, with an important decrease in the cost of track laying ~ on renewal of railroads.’ / “Now, my friends, let me ask you, was it the rising or lowering price that employed these thousands of men? Our friend Mr. Hopkins of Illinois tells of the benefits of a higher duty on iron and steel. Did the steel rail pool need more tariff? What is the difference in giving the manufacturer a double profit through a high tariff or through a pool? Do they ever share the profits of the pool with labor? No. Will they ever share the profits of a tariff? Never. ’ “It takes no political economist to answer these questions. If the United States manufacturers can reap twice the profit under a high tariff by limiting themselves to the home market and running half time, why should they 11:11 full timeinid invade fortigirmarkets? They never will. They will sit down comfortably and sell their limited supply of goods for increased profits, making them more than whole, while the laborer tramps the country in search of w'ork just as he now does under the trust system. “It is unfortunate that the humdrum of the tariff has been sounded in the ears of the people until many of. them really believe that foreign trade is unimportant, if not a curse. Why did the breaking of the steel rail pool put so many men to work? It was because the consequent lowered price, for iron and steel brought most liberal orders from abroad as well as at home. Suppose the tariff had been prohibitive and we would have been confined to the home market. Would the manufacturers have made so many goods? No, but they would have doubled their profits on what they did make. The people could not have bought so many because of the increased price. Who would have suffered? First, the workmen, because they would have had fewer goods to make; secondly, the consumer, because he could not have bought so many at a higher price. Who would have been benefited? The manufacturer, because he might have, marie and handled less goods, made a double profit, and really have gained, as he would have had fewer to handle for the same profit. "This bill will increase the manufacturer’s profits on the individual articles, |)ut will lessen the power of the people to buy or use his wares. “It is the poverty of the buyer, not the producer, that must be relieved before things will thrive. “The manufacturer has every facility to produce, but no facility to sell, “It is the consumption that must first be stimulated, and that will stimulate production. “There are but a few crumbs in this bill to aid the oppressed farmer of the interior or the laborer, but 1 thousands of things to further oppress him. Higher sugar, higher salt, higher lumber, higher clothing, higher manufactured products and absolutely nothing to raise the price of labor—a high tariff on labor’s products, limiting the demand for his labor by narrowing the market, but throwing the ports wide open for the free importation of other laborers from foreign countries to compete with his work. “Consistency, thou Art A jewel I”

The New Sugar Scandal. Is the country to be afflicted with a second sugar scandal? Are the “senators from Havomeyer’’ ex-oflloio ineriYbers of the finance committee, and are they to be permitted to dictate the important sugar schedule?—Chicago Evening Post (Ind. Rep.). The senate committee’s bill, whether designed to do so or not, will give the trust a great advantage should it become law. For that reason the country is bitterly opposed to the senate sugar schedule, and if the senate will heed the voice of the people that schedule will not be embraced in the pew tariff. —lndianapolis Journal (Repf|. The storm over the sugar schedule is steadily increasing. All the examinations which have been made since its report, instead of clearing it up, only make it look the blacker. It has apparently been made of a very complicated character to baffle analysis and to disguise a job, but, intricate as it is, it does not conceal the fact that it embraces a very large differential for the benefit of the trust. This conviction is universal, and it is aggravated by the stories of personal profit in connection with it.—Philadelphia Press (Rep.). The specific charge by a responsible newspaper in Chicago that three members of the senate speculated in the secrets of the committee room after the sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill had been framed, and profited $30,000 by the transaction, is altogether too serious to be treated by the senate with contempt or indifference. The peculiar influence which the magnates of the Sugar trust have exerted in the framing of the new sugar schedule has already created suspicions as-to the integrity of the framers of the bill. If the charge against the alleged speculators shall not bo investigated, it will serve to strengthen, if not confirm, this suspicion.—Philadelphia Bulletin (Rep). . Revising the Sugar Schedule. / //I I II 'I This cartoon is from the New York Press, one of the most partisan of Republican newspapers, which always advocates protection to any and every industry. Like hundreds of other Republican papers, its disgust at the action of Aldrich in writing the sugar schedule at the dictation of the trust is so great that it is daily denouncing the sugar schedule and the senate committee’s method of doing business. Sugar Trust Profits Cinched. The trusts have a cinch on Dingley bill profits. Os course they will make many times more if the bill becomes law in anything like its present shape, but they are already engaged in taking part of their profits. Sugar has risen considerably in anticipation of greatly increased duties, and merchants all over the country are laying in stores because still higher prices are expected. The Sugar trust is consequently busy and rolling up profits. In April it imported 757,799,527 pounds of raw sugar, valued at $14,747,139. An extra profit of one-half cent per pound on this amount—which is already realized or guaranteed—means nearly $4,000,000 to the. trust. If the bill is two months longer in its passage, the trust will surely pocket $10,000,000 extra profits before the bill becomes law. Who says protection is not a good thing? And why shouldn’t Senator Aldrich push it along and in turn get his street railway syndicates pushed along by the Sugar trust? Isn’t this reciprocity? Wouldn’t Aldrich be an ingrate if he should desert his friends and backers when he has an opportunity to help them? Why Dingley Rates Are So High. Afraid to open your chops about the McKinley bill before the election, having won, you are out-Heroding Herod, out-McKinleying McKinley, because the men who furnished the money to carry the election are relentless taskmasters, clamorous for their remuneration. They have such ravenous appetites that you have been compelled to make the rates higher than in the McKinley bill. Let this not bo forgotten, inscribe it on the tablets of your memory. Be it known that the average tariff tax under the McKinley bill was 49.58 per cent ad valorem; under the WilsonGorman bill, 39.94 per cent, and under the Dingley bill, 57.03 per cent. Hence the average rate of taxation on something like 4,000 articles of every day consumption is 8 per cent higher under the Dingley bill than under law, and 17 per cent higher than under the Wilson-Gorman bill.—Hon. Champ Clark in Congress. Prices Going Up. Prices of sugar, lumber, tea and other articles have already risen since duties have been increased or new ones imposed. The foreigner appears to be somewhat backward in coming forward to pay these tariff duties, but perhaps he wds taken by surprise by the senate’s action and will yet pay all duties assessed against him by Republicans. “If under the reformed Dingley bill the consumer shouldn’t and the foreigner wouldn’t pay the tax, where would we be at?’’ asks the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Electric Bittern. Eletftrio Bitters is a medicine lor any season, but perhaps more generally needed when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails, when the! liver isltorpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic, and .alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act moresurelv in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to electric Bitters.J 500 and SI.OO per bottle at Page Blackburn’s drug store. VACATION DAYS. In the Lake Regiuos of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, lowa and South Dakota, along the lines of the Chicago, Wilwaukee A St. Paul Railway, are hundreds of charming localities preeminently fitted for summer homes, nearly all of which are located on or near lakes which have not been fished out. These resorts range in variety from the “full dress for dinner” to tbe flannel shirt eostum for every meal. Among the list are names familiar to many of our readers as the perfection of Northern summer resorts. Nearly all of the Wisconsin points of interest are within a short distance from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none of them areso far away from the “busy martu of civilization” that they cannot be reached in a tew hours of travel, by frequent trains, ovelr the finest road in the .Northwest —the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway.
