How The Wilson Bill Works

A private letter to the editor oí' the Coü reek from Berlín, has a few paragraphs which vye í'eel it a duty to quote, and ask the careful consideraren of our readers thereto. Just how the bill effects some of our industries is told in ihis way: '"By the way, it may be of interest to you to know that the professors of economics here in Germany are getting a little agitated about Germán sugar in view of the late elections. I have already been interrogated by tvvofrom two different Universities as to what will be done withthe Wilson Law. This shows who is supported under a democratie policy. "I have made a study of German industries over here as well as social and economie themes, and I find that Germany is only too anxious to flood our markets with her cheap labor produets. One linn in Leipsig that combs wool and prepares it for manufacturera' use, told me that the Wilson Bill would give him a market for one half his output. After he said this I inspected his establishment and on inquiry found that his workmen (unkilled) receives from 75 pfenings lo 150 marks per day and skilied workmen from 2 to 4 marks. The wool he works up he buys in the Argentino Republic. 1 saw from these facts how he could with contidence count on driving a large amount of raw wool produce in America out of the market with his Argentiue wool worked up for 50c per lb. "I feit it in another way, too. My father has South Dakota wool lying in Chicago for which he is oflered 4c. per lb. and which a few years ago was 18 and 20 cents per There is no need of converting you of course,but if a few of the rabid democrats would come over here fora lew months and investígate the tariff from this point of view they would have the Damascus scales toni from their eyes."
