The average wages being less than two
thirds of ours. The mill. equipped. has not
cost over $500 900. The annual interest for
the capital 4 per cent. The cost of the piece
Of goods will not exceed $40. Now il the
English mill owner can send that piece of
goods into our market free of duty he can sell
it for $50. $40 less than the actual cost of
ours, and make profit of $40. Can the New
England mill rum Yes, but only in one way
Reduce the cost of our mill, of our machin-
cry, and of our goods by cutting down the
wages of all the men and women who have
lsbored from the LAYING of the mills founda-
ton to the finishing Of the cloth, so that our
piece shall cost but so.
This is the free-trade. democratic way
But the workingmen of America paw the pen
atty in poor living, less comforts in their
homes. less schools for their children. Even
then would the mill probably continue to run?
England manufactures an enormous surplus
of woolens. She will not glut the home mar
ket and break the prices there. and can well
afford to sell the surplus here at less than the
cost. But, urges the free-trader. the work
men could then buy their clothing for less
and in this find ample compensation. Is this
true? History fatty contradicts it. as shall
conclusi,ely show before l am through. The
republican party, on the contrary, declares
that the mill shall be erected the machinery
built, and the workmen employed without
any reduction Of wages. How will they &C
complish thiss Simply by saying to the
Manchester manufacturer, "Send your goods
into our markets, but first paw, for the sup
port Of our government $50 on every piece
you send" thus making his goods equal to
ours in cost This is a protective tariff
The wages paid in New England. as shown
in the foregoing tables, are the results of pro-
lection; those in England are the results of
free trade. workingmen in New England
can see for themselves by these figures what
protection does for them. Wages are higher
in England than in any other country in
Europe. The wages of Belgium are less than
one-half. Of Denmark about one-third. Of
France one-third, and of Germany less than
one-third of the wages paid in the United
States. As to the living Of laborers there
and here Mr.. Frye says;
But, il is urged. in these countries the cost
of living 10 greatly less than here. and the
money received buys more. 1t is true the
living of European laborers costs less, but
they have less. Il 10 not possible for them
to have the generous living Of Americana, for
they have not the money TO purchase it. The

The Screamer sailed from Philadelphia

the night of the 9TH a gale commenced, which
on the morning of the 10th was heavy, the
ship laboring heavily, and at o'clock COM

signals of distress which were soon after an

laid by. Soon after, the gale moderated, and
they launched one boat which was stove,
they launched life boat, and seven men
rea ched the brig safely, but in their eager

Hot Springs. He came down by skiff to He
lena from the mouth of the St. Frances river.
He says the scenes along the route are most
distressing and the stencil from animals are
revolving, and when the waters decline it
must be still more fearful. The earth is left
covered with the thick, Shiny substances of
reptiles of every kind. The miasma pro-

ably be serious in its consequences.

COOKS RESIGN ATlON.
WI hat Attorney General Brewster Saws
in Regard to Star Route Cases.

WASHINGTON. March IS.
Cook sent in his formal resignation as
special attorney in the star route cases to At
torney General Brewster on the 18th inst.
He refers to his appointment by the late
President and the retirement of McVeagh on
the incoming of the present administration.
and says several cases have been brought be-
fore the courts by Bliss on evidence pro-
cured prior to September last and whether
the strongest and most important cases have
been included is not for him Cook to de-
termine. The present seems an appropriate
time for his retirement. which he respect
fully submits for Attorney General Brewster's
action.
In accepting Cooks resignation Attorney
General Brewster says he. (Brewster) if he
had not been advanced to his present posi-
ton, would have continued to act for the gov
eminent without complicating his relation as
counsel with the supposed policy of any adj
ministration, as the cases will be conducted
on principles of justice without reference to
the wishes or policy of any President, what
ever his name may be.
Brewster says indictments have been
found and are about to be tried
and at this juncture he Cook on the eve of
the trial withdraws from the cases. He ac-
cepts Cooks resignation, with thanks for the
personal respect expressed

FORTY-SEyBNTH CONGRESS-.
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March Is.
A small attendance of members was pres
emf when the House met this morning for de-
bate on the Chinese bill, only.
Mr.. Spear, of Georgia, was the first speak
err. He said in the contest between the
United States and China. the former had no
unequal adversary. The little brown man,
eulogized BY Joaquin Miller. was born d.
plomatist, and the United States was dealing
with a renowned empire. The bill was a
measure of self-defense, and no other ques-
ton which could be presented to this Con-
gress was of more Importance. Peace had
its victories, and the passage of this bill
would be one of the victories Of peace. which
would be hailed with the acclamations of an
almost unanimous people.
Mr.. Deuster, OF Wisconsin, said he should
vote for the bill, and urged Congress to stamp
this threatening danger out of existence be-
fore it could grow large enough TO require
the most serious measures for its suppression.
Mr.. Guenther, of Wisconsin, advocated
the bill
Mr. Moor, of Tennessee, thought it vas
his patriotic duty to vote against the bill.
Mr. Berry, Of California, advocated the
bill
Mr.. Williams. of Wisconsin, could not
support the bill, as it violated the fundamen-
tai traditions of the government.
Mr.. Skinner, of New York, considered the
bill un-American and unjust.
Mr.. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, supported
the bill, quoting from the Bible, Give not
that which is holy to dogs"
Mr.. Flower, of New York, supported the
bill, and said he should vote for it,
Adjourned.

COMMERCE COMMITTEE.
Fink Closes his Argument
Before the Committee.

WASHINGTON, March Is.
Commissioner Fink concluded his argu-
ment today before the House commerce COM
mttee, against the Reagan railroad bill In
closing his remarks he urged npon the COM
mittee the importance of putting good men
upon any committee which Congress might
create. In this connection he spoke in severe
terms of the Hepburn railroad commission of
New York. whose proceedings and conclu-
sions he said were ridiculous and harmful In
contrast to such board he spoke of the
Massachusetts noard as model. He thought
that if any effort was to be made by Congress
to regulate railroad affairs, the Massachusetts
plan should be adopted. The Reagan bill
would simply disorganize and destroy the
system it is supposed to be designed to per-
feet The best plan of all, perhaps, would
be to have Congress give to the existing rail
road commission the power of imposing pen
alties. This would in his opinion settle the
matter at once.

Is Felt nv the Operatives of Fall River in

FALL RIVER, March Is
The operatives here watch with absorbing
interest the progress of the Lawrence strike.
No action has as yet been taken by th,. Spin
ners' Union, or likely to be unless the strike
extends to the mule spinners. Letters re-
ceived here from Lawrence give reason to
suppose that the mule spinners NAV strike
Tuesday. Robert Howard, secretary of the
Spinners Union. and also secretary of the
Mule Spinners' Association, says few of
the Pacific mill spinners belong to the union.
but most of the spinners of other mills are
Lawrence union men. The operatives here
would undoubtedly render aid in case the
Lawrence operatives request it, The union
would only assist union men, but the Others
would receive aid by voluntary contributions.
