LABOR AND WAGES IN BORDEAUX

According to the report of the United
States Consul Gerrish, Bordeaux, with
$50 workingmen's societies, has thus far
been exempt from strikes, or other reck-
less action, by any class of laboring men.
They are more patient, orderly, and pru-
dent than the workingmen in other Sec
tions of Europe. Bordeaux suffers from
an unusual number of cafes-nurseries
of idleness, but not drunkenness. Light
wines and beer are the common bevera-
ges. Although rum, gin and brandy are
to be had at low prices, they are rarely
used. Saving societies exist to some ex-
tent among the laborers, encouraged, in
some instances, by wise and benevolent
capitalists.
Farm laborers are frequently 80 eco
nomiCal as to become quite wealthy pro-
prietors. They are paid $50 to 420 francs
a year, lodged and boarded; if not board
ed, but are lodged, they receive as high
as 800 to $50 francs per annum. Day Ia

ers, ship carpenters, and foremen in wine
cellars, by great frugality, attain a condi-
ton of comparative independence. The
average wages OF mechanics may be said
to be 4 to Al francs a day-an increase of
nearly franc since 1873. The cost of
living has not increased, but rather de-
creased. In 1875 the decrease was nota-
bly, in bread, meat and potatoes. A gov
ernment cigar factory was established
here in 1916. 1t employs $50 men and
1400 women. The men earn about FIVE
francs and the women francs day.
The value Of the tobacco used is 10000
900 annually, much of which is imported
directly from the United States. Over
700 cooper shops exist in the district,
employing more than 1000 men. The
number of casks made annually is 1,200.
900, and their value 100000 francs.
The slaves come principally from the
borders of the Baltic and the Adriatic.
A few come from the United States.

HON. CHARLEY FOSTER.


After making his speech to his constit-
uents, Charles Foster came direct to the
Capital, and here, since the hour CT his
arrival, he has been busy telling what
he meant. In one direction the report
is sent that Mr.. Foster disavows any Ian
guage that will bear the construction that
he is averse to or in disagreement with
the administration in the matter of the
Southern policy. Even Postmaster Gen
eral Key comes to the rescue and says
Mr.. Foster only intended to scold the
men of the South, who do not respond
by the abandonment of the Democratic
party and an organized support of the
President.
To another interviewer, Mr.. Foster is
reported as representing the language of
his speech thus-"t the measures of cons
ciliation adopted by the President were
not so successful as | had hoped they
would be. | hoped there would be
large accession to the independent move.
ment in the South, as a result of the pol
icy, and also the toning down and des>
troying of the old secession spirit of that
section" Mr.. Fosters disappointment
consisted in the scarcity of the fruits of
Cancellation.
If the text Of his speech was correctly
given, his Washington explanation is a
Slight modification of it. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Foster cannot be presumed to have
condemned a policy which he helped to
shape-which he announced one ine af-
ternoon in the House, with little spread
eagle efulgence, aud which had the
happy effect of subduing and overcomN
ing the hllibusters, and of concilialing
the South. Of course he is for the Press
ident and the policy still but there are
some Republicans in his district who
don't like the Presidents several poll
cies, the Southern one among the rest.
and Mr.. Foster was driven to the neces.
sity of scolding something or somebody,
which he did in a way that would never
have been noticed but for the anxiety to
advertise that Charlie Foster had shown
his heels to the President.
Following Mr.. Foster a little further,
there seems to be slight ground for ap-
prehension that it would be better if he
would avoid the interviewer. When told
that he was credited with the remark
that the President was destitute of friends
in Ohio, and asked if that was a true res
port, he avoids direct answer, and says,
"Of course the President has friends in
Ohio. The mass of the party there are
not in accord with him, however"
Mr.. Foster never lacked zeal, but he
always carried a'scanty supply of sagaci.
ty. A man who would come to the cap
ital and deliberately throw out such a
remark as that for print, ought to be
bottled up, The President is not on trial
but MIR. Foster is, and if he is sorry fol
what he has done, the least appearance
of vacillation will finish him at home.
Notwithstanding the extensiveness O.
the adverse feeling toward the President
Mr.. Foster chirps cheerfully as to the
prospects in his State, and predicts grea

LEARN SOMETHING.

A young man stepped into the Office of
the indianapolis Rolling Mill not long
since and asked for work. "What can
you do ?" asked the president. 81 don't
know, said the young man. ".Aave you
trader" "No, sir" "Where did you
come from" From Pennsylvania" !"
care you German" "No, sir I am an
American" eff you were a German, or
an Irishman, or a FrenChman, l could
set you to work, because you would know
how to do something, but an American
don't know anything about practical bu-
siness"
This reply may not apply to all Amer
leans, but is lamentably true to a great
extent. In Germany the boy is brought
up where he sees something done, and
has some idea of doing it. Very few
Irishmen or Germans but know how 0
turn over few rods of ground and raise
something upon it. Most of them have
some idea of mechanical operations, the
production and uses Of materials and of
tools.
1t is those born in America who are
ignorant and idle. 1t is the false notion
that man does not need to labor, OF
that he can get his living by his wits
that causes a large part of our idleness
and distress. Begin at once to learn
something; no matter your age, learn
some practical pursuit at once Scientific

FOSTER ON GREENBACKS AND
SILVER.

In little ten minutes speech the other
day, to the convention that nominated
him, Charley Foster gave. us his status
on financial and other questions, which,
considered in connection with his record
as a member of Congress, if correctly re.
ported, certainly entities him to consid.
Grafton as the champion Straddler Of
the Political Fence"
We have given Mr.. Fosters record
some little attention lately, and we must
say, that it requires more than the ordi-
nary amount of cheek, for one who has
notoriousIy and without exception, been
found voting with the gold bullionists, in
favor of contraction, and specie resump-
ton, and against greenbacks, to claim at
this late day, when he finds the popular
sentiment of his district against him on
the money question, "that he has always
been greenback man." Such declara.
tions at the eleventh hour, falsifed as
they are by his record Of eight years,
comes, like death-bed repentance, but
too late to be of much service. Let us
60 to his record and see how it tallies
with his declaration, that he has aIoUays
been a greenback man." Although Mr..
Foster was present in Congress when the
Resumption Act passed the House, Jan.
7, 1875, he is recorded as mot voting; )"
but since that time he has squarely rang
ed himself along side of Sherman and
the gold bullionists of the east on five
different occasions, by voting against a
repeal or any modification of the Re-
sumption Act as follows: Jan. 10, 1875,
Jan. II, 1876, March 20, 1876, May 1, '76,
and Nov, 2, 1877.
On Feb. 7, 1876, Mr.. Foster, by his
vote in the House, gave to the country
his views on the power of Congress to is
sue greenbacks as money, and make the
same a legal tender in payment of debts,
which is wholly incompatible with his
Upper Sandusky declaration of love for
paper money. Mr.. Kasson offered res
olution in the House in these words:
