(th Woolen Trust), which has been the chief beneficiary of the iniquitous Schedule K. That company has recently spent hun- is of thousands of dollars in magazine and newspaper ad- ising in an effort to retain its present unfair tariff advant- age. And yet, when a Massachusetts statute reduced the hours of labor to 54 per week (9 hours a day), that company de- m@anded that its operatives (already poorly paid) should be feduced in wages for the two hours cut off—that is, it wouldn't stand a reduction of even one-third of an honr a day. Pro- teetionists have claimed that the chief object of the protective tariff is to protect labor. The big trusts have furnished the best evidence of the falsity of that claim. FUNNY that these old-time politicians can’t learn anything. They bumped every time the people vote, but they try the same old bunk at the next elnction, just the same. ‘There .s grave reason to fear that Col.
