whose annual pay exceeds $4,000, and Its tel
egraphic service costs S10,572. The presi-
dent-Wiliam A. Cole-in his report, calls
attention to what he regards the greatest
evils Of the day, viz: railroad determinations
against New York; special rates, the out
growth OF combination, and excessive port
and terminal charges.
In 1857 Great Britain had only 100000 tons
of shipping employed in trade between that
country and the United States; now IT has

same trade has increased in the same time
from 16G, 900 tons to $4,000 tons; Norway and
Sweden have increased their tonnage In the
United States trade from 10000 to $4,000;
and even the Austrian shipping In the same
trade has grown from next to nothing TO
900, 900 tons. In the meantime our own
tonnage has decreased from 44OOOoo 70

THE FALL RITER STRIKE.

There are certain facts of this last important
strike which it is well to keep steadily in view.
The who have agtated 1T into existence are
operatives recently from England, and particularly
from Blackburn and Preston two centres OF trades
unions and of communism. CurOusly enough, il IS
affirmed that person prominent in these difficult
ties was an inhabitant of Fall River in 1871. One
man is particularly described. he Is a weaver who
can get employment in any of the mills on ac-
cOunt Of his bad reputation for causing trouble lie
makes a business of agtating. Yet 1t Is stated o.
him that he keeps his own child working so many
hours day that he has been arrested for violation
of the statute in such cases. In the matter OF wages,
during the last two years there has twice been
reduction in consequence of the depressed condition
of the market. The losses of the Fall River manu-
facturers have been enormous. Stocks bought IN
1872, which cost $j0sO, are worth to-day but
81 300, the total dividends paid since the pur-
chase amounting TO no more than per cent. With
the first sign of recurring prosperity the operatives,
ignoring this heavy loss OF the stockholders, which
only long continuance of prosperity can make up,
demand immediate return to the old wages.
That Is the operatives to have all the benefit of
the rise and the stockholders nothing.
Again, the figures show that, with all the reduc-
ton the wages paid have been considerable. The
average of spinners wages has been 81 jOper diem.
In May last in one MILL the warp spinners averaged
81 SO per day, and the welt spnners ~ 90. Wages
have been higher in Fall River than in the majority
of manufacturing towns. Some families. living III
their own houses have received over 5000 monthly.
But these are industrious families not given TO the
expensive luxury of strikes. The mill-owners say
that there il really nothing in the market TO war
rant an advance, while wages are already higher
than in a majonty~of rival manufacturing cities.
It is reckoned that the whole original body Of
strikers IS no more than SOC in number. This COM
paratiyo handful seeks. by well-knOwn arts OF
mingled threats and wheedling, to arrest the
industry Of $1,000 workiugmen and worlingwo-
men, The loss to the strikers viii be not less than
500, 900 week. Meanwhile, the corporations are
in an excellent position. Cotton is so high that Its
holders can make moro money by selling 1t than by
manufacturing it. 1t easy to see which side can
hold out the longest, and what the end will be.
Nothing is more probable than disastrous col
lause of the unions And when the mills start again
il will be with force of nOn-uniOn men. Certain
questions will be settled in q way not agreeable or
profitable to the weak and discontinued and mis-
chievous Then it will be seen what a big blunder
was the strike, and how its natural result IS only
ideness, hunger and nakedness.

GLnHER REDIIIEEH.

We observe a prevalent impression in
Washington. where, from all accounts,
that statesman continues TO diifuse himself
with great recklessness, that Glover
Iags superfuous. We regret this. For
we have had, in the time of him,
very great joy of Glover. Few men in public
life ever yielded more amusement than he.
His activity was such that the jerky and
elastic flea might well take heed Of him as an
example tor the suppleness of his sinews, the
CELEBRITY Of his movement and the sud-
denness of his bounce. His ingenuity was
unreasonable and the resources OF his genius
were infinitely vast and various. He prObed
for fraud till his next friend shricked with
pain he searched for corruption with lighted
candles till he singed the eyebrows of his
associates; he fshed most industriOusly
for rascals, and always found his hook
set deep in the trousers seat of the most
trusted leaders of his party. From the hour
that he entered on his high career with the
celebrated resolution empowering his COM
mittee to administer all sorts of Oaths
and issue all sorts of search warrants
and summOnses, down to his last i'm
palement of fellow Democrat he was so
constantly and increasingly funny, that in a
period of commercial depression and fnan-
cial distress he alleviated the melancholy
tendency of society, pcryaded the So
cial atmosphere with the irresistible
humor of his broad buresques, and
set a suffering country on a wide and con-
slant grin. He was so quaint a figure, his sim
cerity was so captivating, and his energy so
crotesoue that the very men who were caught
ON his hook could not but join in the universal
laughter as they clapped their hands behind
them.
1t has been our privilege to enjoy first and
last a great many Democratic statesmen.
There is probably no more diverting spec
tacle in nature than Democratic statesman
entertaining what he conceives to be a serious
purpose. Take, for instance, a conven-
ton of them, as at Faneml Hall last
year, protesting against, and boiling, the
nomination of Butler; or Mr. Leverett SaltOn-
stall cooperating with Manton Marble in
Florida or Mr. TIden refusing co con-
dono; or Samuel Cox denouncing Fraud;
or Henry Watterson calling for 100000 men;
or Senator Eaton jumping on Blaine OF this
tremendous burlesque which has had three
months run at Washington of ex-slavehold-
ers defending Liberty, eX-COnfederates and
ex Copperheads defending the Government
against the encroachments of Republic
can administration and Republican policy;
of New-York Democrats maintaining the
purity and freedom of elections take any or
all these-and we might add 10 them ndeh-
nitely-what burlesque or farce was ever
put upon the stage that could equal them
in the power to excite unquenchable
laughter The masquerade is ia itself
