The Senator from Rhode Island had laid down four propositions. The first was that the prices of commodities and the cost of living bad decreased during the period covered by the investigation, which meant (according to that Sena tor's conclusion) a saving to the people of the United States of $325,000,000 per annum, The second was that the ratio of wages had incressed during the peniod covered by the investigation, The third was that the cost of living in Eage land had increased 1 9-10 per cent, dur. ing that period, and the fourth was that decline in the prices of commodities and that increase in the rate of wages in the United States were the result of the Minublican policy of prote etion.

Thecommittee had caused the retail prices of a certain list of articles to be taken in Eaglaad on the 1st of June, 1880. aad on the 1st Beptember, 1891; but it had caused t to the seven months, and that the very last igation to be made as pro entered As portions in which those articles nto the consumption of the people. hint ! statement t denlir i in found to have of the U ater, Duabuqu ~Mr far ns he knew, nitad ited BS been made, he rst time wod to show, in the f = lustries i 1a had ACS to the Govern y the dealers, but directly to in plate manufacturers $4, - half the value of The tin plate, had proven f the American Welsh re than in plate works of Wales. act, ast ot for the fit but of ‘arlisle closed his fie speech "te ans woo Ameri walt. imports i ony state as lo en with the assertion that manufacturers would be the tarifl on \ Congress would give them free w -— — — Protection Paradox: axing Ww materia manufacturers and lowers pr more a tarifl paying £175.00 nto the public treasury t the of the thing: taxed to produce this sum, That foreigners pay the duties, and } O00 a Year does no Increase pr Tih] so largely support our Government, but that of oy to them the Reed.
