INDUS RIAL WAR IN ENGLAND.

The great strike of cotton operatives
in England is neither more or less
than an industrial war. at Black
burn no less than 10000 workers are
on strike against the enforcement of a
10 per cent reduction of wages. At
Burnley 10000 are out. AT LOnrridge
several thousand are also OH strike.
Altogether over 10000 operatives,
with 25O, 900 people depending on them
for support, are Oh strike in the cotton
manufacturing districts. 1t was
feared early last week that over 20O.-
600 would go out; but the greater
number have accepted the pittance
offered in order that they may be
enabled to assist their brothers and
sisters who are struggling against the
enforcement OF the reduction.
Now the Fl sish system of political
economy has olced this war on the
working people. ndustrially as we'll
as politically, Eng md has placed her
self in Il false pc ton. The land
being held by an Oligarchy. the
people have no otner way Of existing
but by manufacturing wares and un-
derselling other nations. The economy
of Nautilus, Ricardo. McCulloch. Cob
den and Bright has made England il
huge workshop, the managers Of
which cannot find employment for all
the hands unless other nations con-
descend to become exclusively
farming communities, sending their
produce and raw material to England
and receiving in return manufactures.
In order that English manufactures
may be able to hold their ground in
continuing to control the foreign
markets, the present reduction has
been made. But it simply brings
wages SO low that the workers have
become desperate. Hence the rebel
lion. The strikes may be settled for
time. but that the English system
of national economy VIII eventually
lead to the annihllatiOno Of the English
nobility as such, is just a certain as
that Carthage WAS ruined by the same
system which is as old us it is in
famous.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Among
the recommendations in the annual
report of the Postmaster General,
which is published to-day, is that
necessary authority be given by law
to enable the Postoffice Department
to accept the general rules of the
Postal Union respecting the pay
ment of indemnities for registered
articles lost or destroyed; that
foreign books by mail be made duty
free is another recommendation
1t is suggested that it be made the
duty of the department to give and
take receipts for registered matter
only when registered by the sender.
1t is pointed out that the depart
ment can not be expected to be
self-sustaining.
The Postmaster General also
shows that there has been no dis
against Southern rail-
roads, in the matter of mail trans
portation, but that all are paid in
proportion to service performed.
The warrant for paying the five
