Proof of Democratic Platform’s Sound-
ness Cited In Reports of Wage In-
vestigations.
By FRANKLIN PIERCE.
For a hundred years of our history
the manufacturers, believing that they
received a benefit from the protective
tariffs. have ingeniously devised plausi.
ble pretexts for imposing increased
prices upon the necessaries of life. At
first they said that industry in our
country was in its infancy and needed
protection. When those industries had
become strong and needed no aid the
manufacturers invented the theory
that the foreigner paid the duty. This
theory was exploded, and they declar-
ed that cheap clothing meant cheap
men and was not a blessing.
Driven from every one of these inde-
fensible positions, their final and only
argument left today is that the tariff
is imposed upon foreign imports to en-
able the manufacturer to increase his
profits and pay higher wages.
The Democratic platform declares
that:
“In the most highly protected indus-
tries. such as cotton and wool, steel
and iron, the wages of the laborers are
the lowest paid in any of our indus-
tries.”
Wages In Cotton Industry.
Under the existing Payne-Aldrich
tariff law actual imports of cotton
cloth paid in 1910 average duties of
b6.4 per cent.
In 1905, when work and wage condi-
tions in the cotton industry were ex-
ceptionally good. the wages of 202,211
cotton mill operatives in the United
States—men, women snd children—av-
eraged only $6.47 a week. The average
wage for men was but $7.71 a week,
for women $6.30 and for children, $3.21.
As to the profits, seventeen leading
cotton mills, with total capitalization
of $25.110,000 and total surplus of $21,-
863,501, paid in nine years dividends
averaging 22 per cent.
The cotton manufacturers turned out
in 1905 $442.451,218 worth of goods and
paid in wages therefor $04,337,695, or
21 per cent of the value of the finished
product.
Extortion of Wool Tariff.
Outside of the duties on two or three |
commodities of comparatively little im-
portance, the duties on woolen cloth
are the highest of any in the tariff
£:
duty on woolen goods is nearly five
the entire labor cost, while the
‘American manufacturers in 1005 paid
in wages only 18 per cent of the total
value of their production.
At Lawrence in this most highly pro.
tected industry the laborers ware oblig- |
ed to strike even for a living wage.
Thousands of adult males were receiv. |
inly only from $6 to $9 a week and |
many only $5 to $6 a week. As a re- |
suit of the strike the American Woolen |
company gave its employees slight in-
creases in wages. |
