cisiOn was on the sixth ballot, and the

The House Tuesday passed the bill
cutting off certain Internal Revenue
taxes. which had been improved by a
Republican caucus. 1t is mainly for the
benefit of capitalists. 1t relieves the
banks and the prOprietOrs of patent
medicines, but with the exception of re-
pealing the match tax does not relieve
the people of taxation. 1t maintains a
surplus in the Treasury of $14,0OO,OOO
for stealing and jObbing purposes.
Leading Republican Congressman
warned their party it would not satisfy
the people.

NEW YORK, June 25.-In his sermon
to-day Henry Ward Beecher endorsed
the freight handlers strike as justifia-
BILE, and said Knights of Labor, Work
ingmen's Unions, Sc, were popular ed
ucatOrs, and the education of common
people was to be respected. He did not
always approve of strikes. Cheapening
of things was grand thing of capital,
but capital should not cheaper the men.
There was much reason in the COM
plants of the wOrkingmen. Referring
to the effect of combined capital on leg
islatiOn, he said, to reverence the law,
one must not see it made, and men in
the city who erected palaces from which
to throw missiles of unhappiness should
know they were in danger.
An army of 100000 people have landed
on these shores the past year. In spite
of all our disasters, people are coming
hither for prosperity by the thousands
daily from every other land which let.
ters or papers from America can reach.
In May 900 landed; in eleven months
ending with May, 83,6OO-mOre than
one-third from the British DOminions,
nearly one-third from Germany, $4,000
from Sweden, $4,000 from Norway, 49,
| 600 from Austria. Even the failure of
crops" in 1881 has not prevented the
| shipment of products worth $3.50, 100000
or more to foreign lands within the past
twelve months. A country that can do
| this in a year of comparative disaster
| does, indeed, offer a welcome to the
workers of all nations.
