THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The effects of the presenttarltf upon the
prices Of protected articles and on the wa.
ges of labor are well illustrated by the sta.
tisiics Of Glass manufacture.
There are nineteen establishments Tor
the manufacture of Flint Glass in the U.
States. In 1882 there were seventeen
but the duties on foreign glass being grad
ualIy reduced, twelve Of the seventeen es-
adjustments were obliged to stop, and in
1912 there were only five in partial opera.
ton. The taril'of that year. however, re.
stored the business and now let us see
what have been the results.
The Messrs. Sweeney, and Wheeler,
from whose letters to the Hon. Andrew
Stewar', member Of Congress from Penn
sylvania, the foregoing facts are derived
are extensive manufacturers OF glass. They
give the following statement OF the prices
Of different sorts of manufactured glass at
the periods specified;

These tables speak n very ineligible
Ian, .age-much more lntcIllglble, because
nor true, than tie statements OF the Sec
rotary Of The Treasury vheL be asserted
that the prices Of protected articles were
always enhanced to the amount of the pro-
tectlve duties imposed. 1t is not alone IN
the article Of glass that the irresistible
force Of facts oyerlhrows the Secretary's
theory. Nor will the endorsement of his
Report by the British House Of Lords add
any validity to the uufounded assumptions
aud fuIIacinus reasonings Of that anti A
mercan document.
There is another point at issue, VIZ
that protective tariff, while ii enhance,
the prices OF protected articles throws al
the profits into the hands of the master man
uiaciurer without increase the wages of tn,
work man. The following statements may
answer this. The first quotation is frou
the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company
under date Feb. III, lsiG:
"The limits Of letter would not con
tain complete pay roll Of one Of our es
adjustments, in which the wages Of no twr
persons are exactly the Same. Every maj

$50 50 1850 IS, 1916

These are the wages which these men
earn when they are IN full employment; but
from l-iU until the new Tariff went into
operation, they did no work for fourth Of
their time, and therefore their pay was less
by % per cent than II Is gwen above"
The Messrs. Sweeney say:
We are unable to make the same com.
ParIson o! wages at specific periods in our
own establishment, for the reason tina, our
business materially differed from that Of
the Boston company. We worked our
hands but halt the time, md we paid them
IN proportion to their work, which was 30
per cent. less than at the present time.
Our hands now work full time, are paid as
high IN proportion as they we're then, and
We employ as many as our works viii ad.
nit. 1t Is therefore proper to state that
our wages have doubled since the passage
Of the Tariff Of l5I2."
The results Of the protective policy in
respect TO the glass manufacture are Illus
/ tratIye Of the operation Of the same policy
upon other branches Of American industry.
Here we see the number of establishments
increased, within less than four years, from
) to 8. And observe how the prosperity
Of this branch Of manufacture extends to
other interests, difiuslng life and activity
as far as It's Influence reaches. For exam.
/ pie, the nineteen Manufactures Of Glass in
the CGiled States, some Of them very
large, employ great many men, who
must have subsistence, which the grower
Of grain, beef and pork supplies; they mus
have clothes which the wool grower, the

MEXICO.


We do not know exactly what to make Of the
late news from Mexico. On the evening of this
day week official information was received here of
Paroles having entered the city Of Mexico and been
received with open arms and in the government
paper Of Saturday night the fact was announced,
with the additional information that Paroles was
understood to be favorable to the reception of
the Minister from the United States than his prede-
cessor. Another version Of the same news repre-
sents the Military Chieftain to be less favorable
to that object, with the addition that Mr.. SLIDELL
had retired from the seat of government to await
the course of events.
But the New Orleans /" Bee - of the 81 st instant,
after stating the news as received by way of PEN
sacoa, and, further, that Paroles had been pro-
claimed President Immediately after entering the
city Of Mexico, adds the following postscript fatty
contradicting the most important part of it:
:" Since writing the above we have received let
ter from highly respectable commercial house,
which states that the city Of Mexico had pronounce
ed in favor of Paroles. This letter is of the
latest possible date, get ii says nothing of the ru-
: mored appearance Of Paroles before the gates
Of the capital, or Of has having been proclaimed

HAYTI.

The latest information from Cuba mentions the
arrival at Havana of an unusal number of Spanish
ships of war. From the Journal of Port au Prince
we translate the following, which may serve as an
explanation of the views of the Spanish ships:
There has arrived at St. Domingo Spanish feet des-
tined to take under its protection the Dominican Republic
letter from ST. Domingo published in the Manifesto, says
that the Spanish Potecorae has been desired by the Pre
dent Santana and the Bishop Portes and the paper
expresses opinion that Spain will not limit Its exeons
the exercise of the simple right of suzerante her ancient
colony, which reserved all the rights Of propretohp
by the treaty Of 1915. This viii explain the motive of the
extraordinary congregation Of Spanish ships, Of which in
formation has recently been had in the harbor Of Havana
very spirited dispute has been carried between Pres-
Perot Of Hayt and M Levasseur the French Consul
The former has used language towards the latter
and the papers discussing the which France would
take should she think proper redress the grievance of Ma
L., who had demanded Of the Haytien Government in
demnty Of about $50, 000.--U. s. Gazette.

THE FLORIDA CONTESTED ELECTION.

The House of Representatives on Saturday last
decided the question arising out of the contested
election Of Representative in that body from thenew
State of Florida against the right of the returned
member, E. G. CABELL, (Whig) and admitting to
his seat the petitioner against him, VIM H. BRocK-
ENBRoUGH, QDemocrat) With some experience,
and more knowledge, of the influence Of party con-
sideratons in determining questions of this nature
in popular bodies, we should be satisfied, by the
state Of the vote on this matter, had we no other
grounds for the opinion, that the decision of the
House is one not borne out by the evidence in the
case. Had it been SO, we should not have seen the
House of Representatives, with majority of some
seventy votes in favor Of the ruling party, affirming
the right of one of their own party to seat in
that body by a majority of fourteen votes only.
And even that majority, it will be perceived, was
reduced to sic, when tested by the question of
reconsiderafion

in addition to the debate which appears in the pre-
