LABOR The number of men organi-
zed in the trade unions OF New York
city alone amounts to $1,000, and they
have bank account of sos, 1876. 60.
The average increase of wages since
1860, for all trades represented in the
the unions, is 70 per cent, the least in
crease being go per cent, the greatest
So. At Birmingham, the gun-barrel
browners receive per week, in gold, $40;
filers, $40 grinders, $50; rifers. $40
welders, $40; breech forgers, $3.50
casemakers, $3.50; fnishers, $3.50,
aud nipple makers, $6.25, making SIG
% as the total weekly wages received
by nine workmen. At Hartford, Conn,
the gun-barrel browners receive pei
week in currency, $l7.19 filers, $16.-
81 grinders, $1912 rifers, $17.S6
welders, 500 +; breech forgers, SIS;
casemakers, SIS. so finishers, SIT, and
nipple makers, $16S7, making a week
ly total of $15936, or more than
double the rates OF wages received by
the nine English workmen. The pur-
chasing power of these rates of wages
is computed by comparing the price OF
carpets in the two countries. A mid
ding felt carpet in New York, it is
reported, can be bought ut wholesale
for S1.40 currency pea yard. One
weeks wages earned by the nine Hart
ford mechanics will, therefore, buy
ll3 ga yards, leaving IL cents over.
The same kind of felt carpets can be
bought in England for 21.3 sh;llings
sterling per yard, or 81 cents in gold.
The one weeks labor of the Birming-
ham gunmakers will, therefore. buy
l33 3 4 yards of felt carpet, leaving two
cents over. The purchasing power of
the weeks of the nine workmenin Eng
land is, thereforeI7 IL per cent over the
power Of similar wages in the United
States. A large cotton factory is to be
built in Darlington, S. G. San Francis,

day meetings held in this city had done
more harm than good. There are
churches enough in the city, and they
were the proper places in which to hold
religious meetings.
Mr.. Cowell knew we had good church
es, but then stray shot might be
made by some preacher which would
would do some poor soul good. He
had no objections to holding meetings
in the public streets, but as the Parks
had been set apart for certain purposes,
he did believe we had any right to use
them for any other privileges than
those prescribed. 1t would be shame
to trample down and destroy the grass
which was just shooting up, and which
now rendered our young parks so beau
tiful.
Judge Green believed that the parks
were public property, and that they
did not belong to private parties resid
ing in the neighborhood. They arr
to be enjoyed by the people, but il
proper manner. Walking over grass
one day in the week will not injure it
This resolution does violence to sen
timent whish is growing in our city
If boisterous person came along, the
police would very likely be able to take
care of him. He desired to have the
resolution restricted SO that good in
stead of eUH might result.
Mr.. Cowell did not see why we
should beauty our parks and then de
stroy the improvements. Such would
be willful waste of money. In Phila
delphia crowds were not allowed t
walk or trample the grass, and We
should also prevent it.
Col. Woodruff did not believe that
the public parks were any better thar
the railroad depot. Meetings had beer
held there, and he attended them, anG
he had never seen any disorder, OF
destruction of property. Men attend
ed these meetings who could not bt
gotten inside church wall, and they
we're doubtless the means of doing
much good. 1t would be full as wei
to allow the people the privilege of as
sembling in a shaded park, as to allow
them to stand in the glaring sun in the
public street, in the heart of the city.
Mr.. Gray said the property owners
although not the proprietors of the
PARKS had right to protest agains
the holding of meetings which nigh
be held under the provisions of thu
resolution if the amendment wa
passed. The property holders around
the city parks would prefer having
them closed, and built upon than tt
allow public meetings to be held there
in. The amendment was lost-6 to 6.
Judge Green moved to strike on
the word "Sunday." Agreed to.
Judge Green moved to amend ex
cept by permission of the COMMITTEES
on public grounds and buildings"
The resolution as amended was thel
adopted, II to barry.

posed meetings could be held with tn
consent of the committee and wa
