REDUCTIONS OF WAGES.

The latest ripe, luscious fruit borne on the MoKinley tree for the special benefit of the wage earners is a reduotion of 10 per cent, on the wages of the men employed jn the Fairfield Chemical Works, Bridgeport, Conn., announced December 24, by way of making Christmas merry. The principle product of thts establishment is sulphuric acid, which was on the free list until October 6,1890. Representative Candler, of Massachusetts, who is pecuniarily interested in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, got a duty of i cent, a pound imposed on it by the McKinley tariff. So this Bridgeport concern gets a Election of $5.60 per ton that it never before, and celebrates the event by cutting wages 10 per oent. A carpet factory in Hartford, Conn., reduced wages 10 per oent. before the McKinley kill passed but not till the increase of the duty on carpet wool was oertain.— Between the enactment of the MoKinley bill and the eleotion the following reductions of wages occurred: Early in October a 20 per oent. out in some of the Pati rson, N. J., silk mills; a reduotion of wages in the plash mills, Catasaqua, Pa., about the middle of the month; 25 cents A week taken off the wages of the girls in the Valley Falls, R. 1., woollen rnius; about $3 a week taken off the wages of men employed in a canning establishment in Indianapolis; 2J cents an hour taken off the wages of carpenters in Cleveland, Ohio, November 3; 15 cents a day taken off the wages of spoolers in the Merrimac mills, Lowell, Masß., same date; reduotion of wageß of armature winders in the Thompson-fiouston works, Lynn, Mass., same date; a shave on the wages of 70 girls in Ashland, Pa.

Cn election day the cotton weavers in Lonsdale, R. 1., had 15 cents per cut taken off fhffir wages, and the cutß were increased five yards. Immediately after the election Bussell & Co. and Jno. C. Dueber, in Mr. McKinley’s town, and a glass factory in Mr. McComas’s town, discharged their Democratic employes. December 3, 20 per cent, was taken off the wages of the boss oarpet taok makers in Birmingham, Conn., and on the Bth 15 per cent, was taken off the wages of women employed in an underwear factory in the same town. About the same time there was a reduction of the wages of the mnle spinners in the Merrimao mills, Lowell, Mass., and on December 10 oats of from 10 to 20 per cent, were made in the wages of pottersjin Trenton, N. J. Besides these, a number of silk and woollen mills have closed down and thrown their work people out of employment. A machine tool cone rn in Plainfield, N. J., has reduced its force because of decreased demand for its goods. A general average of 10 per cent, has been Knocked off the wages of 1,500 employes of the Pullman Car Works. Shoemakers in Massachusetts and Rochester, N. Y., had their wages cut, and the Clarks, for whose benefit there is a high duty on thread, are importing yarns spun in Scotland in order to break down the organization of their American laborers. On Monday the wages of 2,000 employes of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., in t e Homestead Steel Works, were reduced 10 per cent. But prices go on advancing, and new trusts are formed every day, and William McKinley, Jr., is sure tbat the people will like his bill when they get used to it. —National Democrat.

National Democrat: Some of our protectionist contemporaries seem to know so little about theltariff that.they do not even apprecia e the facts that tell against them. They publish the facts upon which the demand for tariff reform rests and imagine they are suppoi ting their own cause when really they are knifing it. For example, .the headless Philadelphia Press, whose editor is hobnobbing with the Czar’s officials and telegraphs home that there is no persecution of the Jews in Russia, says: "The free trade papers whioh are enlarging on the influence of the MoKinley tariff in advancing the price of potatoes, carefully and dishonestly conceal the faot that the orop this year is one-third short, or 140,000,000 bushels, against an average of 195,000,000 bußhels for the past two years. In 1887, when the orop was as small, prices were as high as they ire now.” The price of potatoes has gone up, and if this were attributable to the McKinley tariff the tariff reformers would have to admit that although the new law increased the cost of living for all other classes it had at least accomplished something for the farmers. But the faot is, as the Pres a says, that the advance in the prioe of po tatoes is due to a short orop, so that the farmer has no occasion for gratitude to Mr. MoKinley. Instead of suppressing the f.ot of the shortness of the crop of potatoes, the tariff reform papers have every motive in the world for keeping dis. tinctly before the farmers’ eyes the fact that if he gets more for potatoes than he did last year it'is not due to the McKinley bill* We said last spring, and recent events have proved the truth of it, that while the McKinley bill would raise the prioe of things the farmer had to buy it could not raise the price of what he had to sell; if those prioes rose it would be duetto something other than the tariff; as the Press says in the case of potatoes, a short crop. And another stupid protectionist pape r dares tariff reform papers to print this notice:

“We beg to remind our clients that through the McKinley bill the duty on works of art has been redneed to 15 per cent. Consequently we are in a position to offer paintings delivered at 15 per cent less cost than last year. As heretofore, we are ready to send on application free of charge selections of photographs after our newly acquired original paintings." We print this notice from an art dealer with great alaority. It shows, in the first plaoe, that a redaction in the tariff reduces prices, and we are a good deal more anxious to have this interesting and important fact understood than the New York Mail and Express is. L_ In the seoond place, this shows thatjthe same MoKinley bill that increased the cost of all sorts of wearing aoparel, canned food and a thousand other necessaries of life purchased by the poor, reduced the cost of oil paintings bought only by the rich. If file protectionists really want these facts circulated among the people we will do all in oar power to accommodate them*

This is what you ought to have, in fact, you must have it, to fully enjoy life. — Thousands are searching for it daily, and mourning beoause they find it not.— Thousands upon thousands of dollars are spent annually by our people in the hope that they may attain this boon.

The National Democrat which was established in Washington one year ago by Edmund Hudson, with the indorsement of the great leaders of the party, has entered upon its second year with a circulation of 40,000 copies each week. This is perhaps the largest circulation ever attained by a weekly newspaper during the first year of its existence. The National Democrat occupies a field of its own, and one that too long remained unfilled. It gives a oompletejrecord of political information, including the most important speeches that are delivered- by Democratic leaders in Congress and on the stump. It is renduring the pirty an important service, and should be read by all who wish to keep fully informed in regard to public affairs and who mean to defeat the wicked scheme of the Republican leaders to secure permanent control of the Government, in spite of the fact that they are, and must remain, tho minority party in this country.
