A Fearless Democrat.

That fearless Democrat, Hon. Charles F. Peck, appointed commissioner of labor in New York by Mr. Cleveland when the latter was governor, officially reports that the uet increase in wages in New York state alone under the first year of the McKinley law was $6,877,025, and that the net increase in the products of labor in the state were $31,815,130. “My report shows that there were just 286,000 men in the state whose salaries were raised as a result of this tariff law,” says Commissioner Peck. This is cheering news for free traders; it comes from good Democratic authority too.
