Hnbbard's Newspaper and Bank Di'
rectOry of the World.

The elegant volumes of which the above
is the title are before Us, and fully exem'
plify the value of a work directed
especially to the subjects Of which they
treat, and which occupy such promi-
nent position among the numerous and
diversified interests which go to make
up the business world. A few years
ago combining statistics of newspa
pers with those of banks-institutiOn
which from the earliest ages have been
universally recognized as Of vast
power and importance-would
have seemed absurd. In this day, how
ever, the power of the press is conceded
to be equal to that of even the monetary
institutions of the globe; and the COM
bined power OF these two, each so
great in its respective sphere, is acknOwl-
edged to be irresistible. Mr.. H. P. Hub
bard, of New Haven, Connecticut, has
had the sagacity to appreciate the ct
ness of uniting these two institutions,
and, as q result, has produced a
comprehensive Directory, filled with ln~
teresting data regarding the leading
papers and banks of the world.
This Directory is in two volumes
of over twelve hundred pages each,
royal octave, and is bound in red and
gilt They make conspicuous and hand
some volumes, and as they contain the
names of over 33, 400 newspapers and
20, 600 banks, besides reliable information
of general interest to all countries, and
are embellished with maps of all nations
and of the various States of the Union,
their great value as work Of reference
may be imagined. They also contain
biographical sketches and portraits of
most of the prominent newspaper men
of the United States, and this adds much
to their general interest.
The diversity of the sources from
which the fund of information contained
in this work was derived must have ne
cessitated an immense amount Of labor
and research. Taking the statistics
given by it with which we are familiar
as a guide to its reliability, it can safely
be said to have reached a degree of accu-
racy which is wonderful, especially when
the vast scope which it embraces IS con-
sidered. Mr. Hubbard has certainly
earned for himself high niche in the
temple of fame as a successful book
maker

Evidently our farmers need more pro-
lection, if protection is the good thing
that its friends and advocates declare it.
The farmers certainly have to pay
enough for the protection of other in
teresss. The steel from which their saws
and axes, scythes and moving machines,
and hundred other articles, are made,
all cost them a tax in some shape OF an
other. The clothes that they put on
their backs, the articles with which they
furnish their houses, and, in short,
almost everything which they get for
money or barter, costs them the margin
of duty. in addition to the actual cost
Of their purchases. In view of these
facts, the Boston Post thinks that
"surely farmers ought to have an
equal chance, but we believe those who
have been most influential in the protec-
ton cause have not looked out quite as
closely for the farmers as they have for
those interests in which they were more
directly concerned. As consequence,
what do we sect Why, the 'pauper
labor Of Europe sending its results into

The New York Times says the results
of the various municipal and town cleo
lions held throughout New York State
on Tuesday ''are not particularly .encour-
aging to those who are specializing on the
chances of Republican success this fall.

the direction Of party feeling, but of late
years their aggregate result has yielded

prospects in the rural portion Of the

That Anti.Chinese Bill.

The New York Commercial Bulletin,
very conservative and reliable CONNER
cial paper, takes the same view regard
ing the anti Chinese bill, which recently
passed the Senate, as does Senator Brown,
of this State, who voted against the
measure. 1t entities the bill Fan act to
discourage foreign and domestic trade, ;"
and cites the fact that we have COM
merce with the Chinese amounting to
between $50, 900, 900 and $94, 900, 900 an
nually, and that this is a commerce
which is susceptible of indefinite
expansion. 1t is safe to say
that the treaty ports of the
French, German, Belgian and other con-
tlnental countries have all largely in
creased their commercial transactions
with China in the past decade, during
which time many Of the Chinese restric-
tions against commerce with foreigners
have either been relaxed or removed, and
to-day thereis not one of these countries
which is not exerting every art of diplo-
macy to obtain a still firmer footing at
the treaty ports in order to push their
commerce with these people.
Our New York contemporary also
reasons that the present time is peculiarly
opportune for enterprise in that direc-
ton, since the Chinese are breaking
away from their traditional exclusive
ness, and are manifesting a disposition
to reciprocate these overtures for a more
intimate business relationship. Yet at
such time as this, and under such cir
cumstances as these, the United States
Senate has gone out of its way to cast
an affront in the face of the Chinese
Empire, which the latter will probably
not be slow to resent. Emitting the act
IAN act to carry into effect certain treaty
stipulations with China" is also regarded
by the Bulletin as a misnomer, for our
supplementary treaty with that country
only comedies US the right to regulate"
immigration, while this bill prohibits it
altogether for twenty years. 1t is, there
fore, an evasion to so entitle it, and the
bill itself is in bad faith, which, like all
acts of bad faith, must recon upon our
selves.
We fully agree with our New York
contemporary in its position on this bill,
and think with it that the commercial
sentiment and intelligence of the country
are as much entitled to be heard on a
question of this character as the hood
lum sentiment or the political sentiment
of the Pacific coast. The British Gov
eminent could well afford to pay lib
eral subsidy to Congressman for the en-
actment of such measure. 1t will help
British trade in the East, at the same
time that it must tend to contract our
own; and the other European countries,
which are also our competitors in trade,
will laugh in their sleeves at what they
will regard as our unconscionable folly.
The West would not listen to the South
when it protested that this was white
mans government, and it was by no
means incumbent on the South to listen
to the West when it raised the same cry.
especially when to do so tended plainly
to the damage Of the commercial inter
ests of the entire country.

The threatened strike of the iron and
steel workers in and around Pittsburg,
which has recently assumed such alarm
ing proportion, appears to have been
happily settled. Saturday was the day
fixed upon by the wOrkmen for closing
the eight large iron and steel concerns
whose owners were interested in the
Bessemer Company, at whose works the
original difficulty occurred. We see it
stated that had this been done four
thousand men would have been out of
employment, and more than likely the
entire iron and steel industry of Yves
tern Pennsylvania would have been
paralyzed by a general strike by the
members of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton. The dissatisfaction at Homestead,
where the Bessemer works are located,
arose on the question of signing an
article of agreement requiring three days
notice, on both sides, either for quitting
or discharging. 1t was also stipulated at
first that the employees should not be
members of the Union, but that was not
insisted upon and is now formally with
drawn. The proposition to reduce
wages is also withdrawn, on the condi-
ton that the association will see to it
that the Homestead works will be able to
compete with other Bessemer works
where non-Union men are employed.
The important point is that the men 60
back to work, and the threatened gene
raj suspension of the iron and steel mills
is averted. Labor strikes Of greater or
less magnitude at present prevail in
Chicago, Omaha and at other points, and
had this been carried out it would have
added greatly to the seriousness of the
labor troubles in the West.

lower the mouth of the river as much as
possible by the means of outlets near

would be that the current would be vast

would be helped as far up as Cairo, and

Destructive Fire.
A $6O. 900 Blaze i'm Birmingham Tester

$60. 900 Blaze in Birmingham Hester-
 day.
 A destructive fire occurred in Birmingham yesterday morning, burning the extensive hardware establishment of Frank Hallock x Co.,, frame structure 150 feet in length and 50 in width, two stories high, situated on Main street. It stood little apart from other buildings, separated by a1leyways, which tended to prevent further destruction. The firm occupied the greater part of the premises, which was perhaps the largest of the kind in the Naugatuck Valley, and had been in the business about 20 years. In the basement was kept large stock of hard ware goods. In a portion of the upper story between thirty and forty hands were en- ployed in the paper box manufactory. Di- rectly in the rear of the main building were the two warehouses, which were wooden, two stories high, about twenty feet wide and if ty feet long. A small powder house was in the rear of the warehouses, but it was so far away from them that at no time during the blaze was there any danger to be feared from it catching on fire. In it was stored powder that the concern used to handle for custom CTS.
 The fire originated accidentally, it is thought, in the top story of the main build ing in that part of it devoted to the box bus mess. stove is said to have been in the room and in it fire.
 The fire department worked hard, but the flames had too much headway. The loss is estimated at $60,O The buildings were owned by F. Hallock, who loses on them about $lo, 900; insurance $3,OOO, placed by T. s. Birdsey as follows: $1, ,O00 with the Hanover company; German American, $1 ,ooo; Continental, 5l ,OOO. Possibly there is anoth- CT $1 1000 on these buildings also. F. Hallock & Go. lose on stock probably between $3O,OO and $4O,O0O. Their insur- | ance is SIP, 900, placed by w. c.
