Creighton, resident agent in this city of the
New Zealand government. says, IN his testi-
mony before the postal commission, referring
to the mail contract between the colonial
government and the Pacific Mail company,
that the whole burden of sustaining the ser
vice devolved upon the colonial government.
although the United States received postal
and commercial benefits arising therefrOm.
If the contracts were suspended or broken it
IS likely the mails would be carried to England

Labor Interests and Democracy.

| It's part OF the tactics of the Democratic
party to charge the Republicans with the pros
tration Of business which prevails throughout
the manufacturing districts Of the country.
There might be some show OF reason in this,
were the suspension OF industries confined to
the United States. But this is not so. The
same condition exists in England, France and
Germany. The London Financiey. gives a
gloomy account Of the iron interests ia Eng
land. and mentions the failure Of the Cleve-
land iron making concern, with liabilities
amounting to s5000,00O. Other large iron es-
| adjustments are greatly embarrassed, and q
degree OF gloom is resting upon the manufac-
turing interests never before experienced.
| We mention these facts to show that the
suspension Of manufacturing industries have
nothing to do with government administration
policy, but are the result Of periodical revul-
sions in trade which have marked the history
OF every country since the organization of civ
| izcd society. The control OF the popular
| branch of Congress by the Democrats has
added to the distress which rested upon our
people. The policy that body adopted, Of cut
will hereafter have to be met by deficiency
| bills, has thrown out of employment, it is es-
timated, one hundred thousa nd laborers and arti-
zans, and brought to wantat least three hundred
| thousand men. women and children. There
| never has been more cruel and hcartless spir-
it manifested by any class of men than the
present democratic Congress. It has been for
no concern for the government or the people,
but directly antagonizing the substantial in
terests of the country, and all for partizan
purposes. The reckless demagogues who con-
troll that party, would subordinate all the
great interests of labor, to the fell spirit Of sell
fish partizanism, which controls them, and
laugh at the suffering and distress of the work.
