The gentleman from New York, GMr. .Hew-
lit, who plead for free trade or worse the
other day, in 1876 was one of our commits
sioners to the Paris Universal Exposition. In
his admirable report made then he bears tes>
timony to the abject condition of the laboring
classes in England, and to the vast difference
both of their wages and situation compared,
or rather cOntrGsted, with the workmen of this
cocntry. He says, page Sc of that report:
The cost OF making iron in England, Belgi.
um and Fraace. at the present time. varies
from f6 les. 10 fS per ton, and fi additional
suffices to pay It's cost of transportation to the
seaboard OF the Unitei States. AT these ports
American iron canot possibly be delivered at
for the foreign article. and the entire differ.
ence consists in the higher wages, and not
larger quantity of labor required for its pro.
ductio1 in the United States, where the phys
ical, mental and moral condition of the work
ing classes occupy a totally different standard
from their European cOnfrere5, and where
wages cannot be reduced without violating
our sense of the just demands OF human ma
ture. 1t is curious phenomenon TO lis>
ten in France to the loud complaints which
are made against the competition of BelgiuDi
in the manufacture of iron and stranger still
broad declaration that 1t will not be possible
to do any thing for the education and .eleva-
tlOn of the working classes without exposing
their manufactures to ruin in consequence OF
the competition with the worse paid and
worse fed labor of Belgium. The truth is the
WnOle system Is ialSe.
Such is the graphic picture of foreign labor
as found in my colleague, who further says,
There isan army of per ars pressing upon Ihe
occupations OF the con- 'aborer, and striv-
ing to push him over \ almost nsensible
line which divides the two classes from each
other" He tells us that out of a population of

lamentary returns for 1867, S72, $50 paupers,
equal in number to to all The scholars recev-

used as they have been, rather to crust out

ing classes; and this very attempt to undersell
foreign nations In their own marRsts neces>
sarily involved the lowest possible rate OF
wages In those countries consistent with mere
existence.
In letter to Jay Gould, written years be-
fore, the same gentleman [Mr. Hewitt truly
says:
Now, then, IL we must make iron in this |
country in competition with English labor, IL |
is very clear what must be done. The laborer |
must take less wages, in other words, he must |
not think OF a saving fund. Then, like the
English operative he 10 ust eat less meat and

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

This week sc commence mailing
to OUT subscribers statement Of
account, and will continue to send
them from day to day, Until we have
gone through our whole list Of sub
scribers. We hope that those who
receive bills will respond promptly,
for we need the money. We have
tiled all other plans to collect our
money and have failed, and hope
now to be more successful. Promises
a:e a very good thing in their place,
but they won't pay wdrkmen, paper
men and type founders. II takes
caah to do this. Therefore we can
not carry subscribers unless they are
more prompt in paying. Those who
do not pay up by the endof the year,
will be dropped from the list, and
their accounts placed for collection.
We are determined to have prompt
paying subscribers il we have to cut
our list down more than one.half.
On Monday Of last week mare
got loose from the fence at the resi-
dence of Mr.. l.. l.. Gibbs. The mare
belonged to MIR. Fisher, and it was
supposed it was stolen; and bills
were printed at this Office describing
the mare, and offering liberal re-
ward for its return. On Friday a
colored drayman named Green, dis.
closed the fact that he had mare in
his stable answering the description
of the one lost, and had had him since
the Monday before. He went TO Mr..
Gibbs and informed him of the fact,
and the owner was sent for. On Sat.
nrday morning Green was arrested
on u charge Of stealing the mare and
wis taken before Squire Franklin,
who after hearing the evidence ac-
quilted him of the charge. The evil
dence showed clearly that Green had
limo way attempted to conceal the
mare, but on the other hand had
gone to q lawyer aud asked how he
should proceed in order to give no,
tice that the mare was in his possess
ion. The arrest was an injustice to
worthy colored man.

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The Northwestern
railroad war is having pronounced effect
on the stock market. On change to-day
the stocks of all the roads involved in the
controversy led in a general break. Rock
Island, st. Paul preferred and common.
Omaha preferred, and Northwestern were
alike affected, and other securities followed
in the general weakness. Eastern roads
were depressed by scare over threatened
disaster to the iron trade, it being rumored
that mills generally were preparing to shut
down. The bears were largely reinforced
to-day besides by the acquisition to this
ide of several prominent operators, there
being large Independent movement to
sell. At one time it looked as if everybody
was unloading.
This was the condition Of affairs at the
opening this morning, Wall street being
flooded with orders to sell the grangers,
and Omahas, and stocks generally highly
feverish and holders nervous. In conse-
quence the first sale Of Northwestern was
2 per cent. below the closing price of Sat
urday. Later in the day it sold at S1.34.
st. Paul was the next to feel the effect of
free sales, and dropped to 1885. The pre-
ferred stock suffered severely also. Rock
Island declined to $1.25. The coalers
were attached later, and the market be-
came little Panicky, everything giving
