The second list of establishments that have increased wages within a month, published ia The World, was even more significant and gratifying than the tirst. It showed that the business improvement has extended Beginning with iron, “the barometer jof trade,” it has spread to woolen, cotton and linen mills, potteries, coke workers, and even to the gar- ment makers of the sweat-shops. The increase in wages averages 12 per cent. and has benefited more than 350,000 workmen since the lst of April. The better times have likewise given employment to a great many waege-earners who have been idle. There is no more talk of the “army of unemployed.” The Republican organs that at- tribute this improvement to the expectation that their party will come into full power again two years hence must be permitted to indulge in their hot-weather vagary. It apparently amuses them and hurts nobody. It certainly deceives no one. No very large reasoning power is required to reach the con- clusion that if times impreve and wages advance under a tariff that is certain to stand for two years at least, it is not due to politics. Manu- facturers do not run their business as part of a future campaign. They do not increase wages on the gam- bler’s chance of getting a different sort of President in a couple of years. If the tariff which cheapene raw materials and lessens in some measure the cost of living is found good enough for 1895 and 1896, there is going to be no call for tear- jing it upin 1897.
