The wages of mill labor have not advanced. The promises of the Republican Party are as the apples of Sodombeautiful to see. but nothing but ashes. The mill operatives have to eat and have to wear clothes. the prices of what they buy are made high by protection. but their wages are not increased. some of them are not employed. and in the country at large they have to compete with the foreign pauper immigrant. Protection is for the benefit of the mill owners. but under the high protection of the AldrichPayne tariff law the operatives of many mills have holiday much of the workdays. Many cotton mills have been paying their hands 10 per cent of their wages while the mills were idle for the last several months.
