THE WBArHER.-Thc lowest pressure is now
in the Upper Mississippi Valley and the South
west. Rains have been general in the British
Atlantic provinces and along the Now England
coast. They were heaviest during the morning
hours in the last named section. Westward
from the coast the weather yesterday was
fair or clear except in the Northwest,
where cloudincss and light rains pre-
vuiled over q small The temperature
fell somewhat in the Upper Missouri Valley
and was low OH the New England and Nova
Scotia coasts. bnt elsewhere it was high Strong
winds prevailed in the Lower Missouri Valley
and on the western lake shores, and also in the
Lower st. Lawrence Valley. Elsewhere the
winds arc moderate. With southcrly winds the
weather in New York to-day will be fair or
partly cloudy and warm.

arguments they employed They con-
tended that our countrymen built better and
cheaper ships than any other nation, not
seeming to perceive that if this is the case
the navigation laws are of no advantage to
American shipbuilders. No man will in
vest his money in foreign ship If he can
buy an American ship equally good at
lower price. For our part we should be
willing to see compromise with the
American shipbuilding interest We would
leave them their monopoly of the coasting
trade and let the present navigation laws
stand, except in relation to large iron
steamships. 1t is disgraceful that all
the great lines between this country
and Europe are owned by for
eigners The profits of their lucrative
business would at least be divided with
American owners if we were permitted to
purchase ships in the cheapest markets.
Many of the ships Of the German and
French lines are of British construction,
and if our merchants were as free to buy
iron steamships built on the Clyde as are
the merchants of Germany the profits OF
navigating them would be an important ad-
dition to the resources of our countrymen.
1t would take no business away from Amer
lean shipbuilders, for they do not build these
ships now, and there is no reason why
they should oppose measure which would
not interfere with their interests. So long
as the commerce between this country and
Europe goes in foreign built ships we may
as we'll share the profits of navigating them
as to let foreigners have monopoly of this
profitable business.

American Mechanics in England.

American Mechanics in England.
Twenty years ago, when the tide of emil
grafton from the British Islands was at its
height and the workingmen of the Old World
were hurrying to our shores in search Of
what they termed 'living wages" few
would believe in so short q time the current
would set the other way and workmen would
willingly leave this country to seek employ
ment in England. Yet such is the case at
present. Owing to general strike of the
carpenters of Manchester, England, large
number Of workmen have been imported
from America to fill the places of the strikers,
and if possible to break down their organi-
zation. The wages demanded by the Man
chester carpenters seem small when COM
pared with those which laborers grumble at
receiving here, and are far below what car
penters should earn in this country were it
not for the almost total cessation of work.
Forty-one shillings and twopence or about
ten dollars for ffty-two hours work per
week is regarded by the English workman
as fair rate Of wages, and he strikes be-
cause the masters or 'bosses" will not grant
the advance to that figure. Without q
doubt the cost OF living in this coun-
try is greater than in England, but
the difference will not satisfactorily account
for the objection of the American carpenter
to work for o proportionately low rate Of
wages at home, when he is willing to accept
what he considers the starvation wages in
England and which, by the way, happens to
be the rate which English workmen strike
to secure. If our workmen only considered
that if they give struggling builders, con-
tractors and property owners at home a
chance to raise their heads above the waters
of debt into which they have been plunged by
the general shrinkage OF values. there would
be no necessity for their going to Man.
chester to get employment. The movement,
however, is an interesting one, as it marks
one of the processes by which the labor
market adjusts itself.

AFFAIRS IN THE Coal REGIONS are looking
little better. The Schuylkill miners are return

the disorderly element is gradually being put
down. Thousands of men are willing to work
but they are prevented. This outrageous intim-
idation should be stopped at once. Working

talists.
