The Tariff and Wages.
In further comment upon the labor
troubles at Homestead, Harper's Weekly
.dissects this week the protectionist con
tention that high |tariffs make high
wages. This is tho great contention
that has always been relied
( high tariff advocates to cajole the votes
» of labor, and, although receut happen

and, while shutting their eyes to Hun

, taxes should send tho country to the

j Harper's says :
, A large portion of the labor vote has

{.prising that the workingmen should have
tuken the representations made to them
; seriously. According to what they have
been told, they liuvc reason to believe that
the tariff laws were made specifically for
their benefit; that in the matter of employ
ment and wages the American worning
be much less dependent upon
the state of the labor market and upon the
vicissitudes of business than working
in free trade countries are; that they may
claim a share in the profits made by the
.establishments in which thev are em
ployed with a better right and to a larger
extent than may be claimed bv working
men not protected by a tariff;' that thev

their employers or by the power that made

their agents, Captain Heins, had
been sent on to Pittsburg to confer with
Mr. Frick as to the furnishing of these

to recall the date of that-conference, but
it must have been held at least several
days before the application by letter of
June 25lh for the "watchmen" who

the physiological effects attending any

necessarily depend to a considerable ex

present in the discharge, but also on the

In comparing the record of the Con

Congress ami a Republican President
occupied the White House, the Fifty
second Congress was Democratic only
branch, while the Henato and the
President were Republican. TheFifty
liret Congress left a legacy of expendi
ture to its successor which the latter had
to shoulder, because there was
of avoiding it. Thus the expenditure
for pensions was increased from $98,

even the courtesy of a consideration.
The New York Keening Past, taking the
Tribune's own figures, shows that

Yes, Monday's thermometer
of sales marked the highest of
any August day since the store
opened, one Monday morning
in March, going on sixteen
years ago. There are reasons
for business creeping up and
up in this plain, old, unmodern
building, covering a village of
busy people, with miles of
lloor streets, gas and water
pipes, etc., etc., upon plans
evolved by one thinking head
and organized by one firm
hand.
These reasons arc that
neither heat nor cold, dull
times or rushing times are
permitted to change, the tenoi
of trade—the service or supplj
ol goods. None must be dis
appointed at this store when
they come for certain goods,
neither while they are visiting
the store nor after they have
left and are at home with the
selections.
"Going to Wanamaker's
because the stock is equally
good all the year round," and
your sense of security in the
rightness of quality and price is
everything to us as merchants.
The great, quick and sus
tained response to the Trade
Sale offerings is gratifying.
The reasons for the sale are
strong. The telling of them
has been logical. The result
is as usual.
The $25 Oak Dining-room
Suit contained a concrete idea.
All the Furniture for a dining
room — sideboard, extension
table, six chairs—for $25. The
demand for them was great;
the supply at command is good
for one more day's selling such
as yesterday.
We add another Oak Din
ing-room Suit to-day at $50—
sideboard, table and six chairs.
The normal price was $66.50,
the brade Sale price $58.50,
the concrete price $50. The
pieces are all solid and elegant,
