A SERIOUS OUTBREAK.
AN 0fcer Attempts to IntImidate
Strikers and Is Badly Beaten.

Pittsburg special, dated the ID inst,
says: "There is serious trouble st the Bes-
semer Steel Works, at Homestead, on the
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad,
ten miles above the city. 1t is the out
growth Of a strike on the part of a large
number Of the operatives against signing an
obnoxious contract which they allege the
management attempted to force upon
them. The strikers are members Of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers. Non Union men were hired
to fill their places as far as possible. A
disturbing element has been at work for
several days creating an Ill feeling between
the men. Yesterday the apprehensions of
an outbreak were so great that it was
thought best to send up posse Of deputy
sheriffs to preserve order. This mOrni 1g
fifteen and this evening five additional off,
GERS were dispatched to the scene, making
thrty-one in all. There was great excite.
ment at Homestead all day, but no outburst
occurred until after five O'Clock this even
ing, while Officers Richard Moran and Louis
Swesrer were taking to the lookup two
men who had been arrested on suspicion OF
fomenting trouble. The officers were ieered
and hooted at as they passed along the
street, principally By boys, and were fol-
lowed by q very large crowd. Moran az
tempted to arrest an impudent boy, and to
intimidate the crowd drew revolver. Presi-
dent Fitzgerald rushed up to Moran, and
pleaded with him not to draw q revolver in
such a crowd. D!Sregarding the advice. he
not only drew his weapon, but fred into the
crowd, fortunately hitting no one. In less
time than II takes to write 1t he was lying
with a crushed skull, bruised, bleeding and
senseless upon the street. He was asssiled
from all sides with stones and so badly IN
jured that his recovery is considered alto
gether out of the question. 1t was with
difficulty that he was rescued. Officer
Swesrer was also seriously hurt about the
head, his scalp being almost stripped off.
The disorder was quelled by the rest of the
officers, and there has not been any outbreak
since"

The american Register, commenting on
the proposed retirement of Grant on a
liberal income at the public expense for
life, draws a contrast between that child Of
the State and General Washington as
follows
"And besides all this it is a matter of
public notoriety that General Grant was,
from the time of his first election as
President, in the habit of receiving dona-
tons or subsidies from wealthy men who
sought to WELD and control in the public
affairs of the country. How different is
this from the early days of the Republicl
Washington even declined to receive his
salary, either as General Of the
army or as President, simply requir-
ing his expenses to be paid,
and giving his time to his country
without compensation; and when pres
ent was offered to him he treated it as
an indignIty and an attempt to subsidise
him. Washington was an illustration of
elevated purity and integrity and disin-
terested patriotism. Grant is an illustra-
ton of the sordid degeneracy of the
times. And it is a sad reflection on the
serious question at this day presented,
whether there is public virtue and patri-
otism enough left among US to furnish
any guarantee of the continuance of the
liberties of the people for any great
length of time.

Over-production is the complaint OF
the Western distillers and the Fall River
cotton manufacturers, and both are en-
deavoring to force prices upwards by
limiting their output. Many other
branches of manufacture have en-
countered the same trouble and have sp-
piled, or are preparing to apply, the
same remedy. The cure can, at best, be
but temporary, under present circum-
stances. The Bridgeport Conn., Farmer
thinks it can see the true cause of the
evil, and says: Under our govern
mental policy, our manufacturers are
mostly restricted to the home market
Our high tariff, by shutting out imports
of the productions of other countries,
cuts off our manufactures from foreign
markets. Thus, our surplus production
is either thrown upon the home market
to the Generalization of prices, or by
the suspension of labor, the production
is kept within the limits of domestic
consumption. Instead of our high tariff
assisting industries and benefting work
ingmen, it is damaging to both, and the
injury will increase in exact proportion
with the growth of our capacity Of pro-
duction.

Tonnage Duties.

Every effort to decrease the expense of
sailing what few American vessels we
have in the carrying trade is conceded TO
be a step to restore the commerce of the
country. Taxation of the American
capital engaged in competing on the
ocean with the untaxed and often bounty
fed shipping interests of foreign coun-
tries is the surest way to defeat our own
interests, and drive our flag from the
ocean. Last winter Massachusetts re-
pealed the local tax on vessels actually
engaged in foreign trade, and the Boston
Post thinks Congress ought now to fol
low this lead and repeal the tonnage tax
Of thirty cents ton, levied on the same
class of vessels. 1t says: "On the aver
age, it would take off about one per
cent. of burden, and be a begin
ming of the good work of giving
our ships a living chance on the
ocean. When the United States cease to
tax their enterprise to death our Yankee
shipbuilders and shipowners will prove
equal to encountering with success all
that foreign art and skill can briug into
competition with them on the high seas.
There are many impositions to be re-
moved before the lost ground can be re
gained, but every one taken off is a gain
and an encouragement. Let the friends
of American commerce on the seas press
this repeal through Congress. 1t will be
a first step to restore noble field of in
dustry to our people, and will be vel
coined in the ancient seats of the ship
building and freighting interests as har
binger for the renewed prosperity of the
seaport towns.

Profits Of Protected Manufacturers
and EmplOYes.

That well known political economist
Mr.. Thomas G. Shearmsn, of Brooklyn,
has been figuring out the benefit which
the laboring men who make steel rails
derive from the tariff on that article. DE
shows that the manufacturers are, by
that tariff, assured q profit of at least
$14 ton over the maker Of iron rails
After paying all duties and the differ
ence in the cost of wages and materials,
the American steel rail makers make at
least SO, OO0, 900 more profit than Eng
lish manufacturers Of that article, and
$4,000, 900 more than American iron
manufacturers. The profits of steel rail
makers in excess of wages were for 1880
at least $15, 600 year. which they
do not share with the workers in steel
rails. They pay 1000, 0O0-or just one
third Of their profts-to their workers,
which is an average Of 81 so day to
each man. The net profits of the
master manufacturers Of steel rails,
therefore, are, and have been for two
years at least, more than three times the
whole amount paid by them for wages,
and more than ten times the difference
between the wages of the American
''laboring princes" and the British
pauper laborers."
1t is then conclusively demonstrated
that protection, in the case Of steel rail
manufacturers at all events, has put ten
dollars into the pockets of the owners Of
eleven mills for every dollar which it
even pretends to have put in the pockets
of all the II, 900 men employed in the
work. All this is no guess work. but
calculation made upon the figures pre-
pared by the mill owners themselves and
ublished by the National Government
Therefore, giving protection the credit
Of having raised the wages of American
workmen (and a more absurd pretense
was never made, it has in this instance
given the mill owners no less than $780,,
coo per annum each in excess of their
European competitors, while TO their
II 900 workmen it has gwen but STA
each. But, IN truth, it has not given the
workmen a penny out Of the enormous
gains it has secured to their employers.
Their wages are kept down by open COM
petition in labor, while the employers
profits arc guaranteed against competi
ton by the tariff.

The House Committee on Foreign AT
fairs has begnn the investigation of
the Chili-Peruvian affairs provided for
in a resolution of the House. The
Foreign Affairs Committee and the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
have each been intrusted with inquiries
almost identical in character and pur-
pose. Each committee is to ascertain if
any Minister of the United States in
France, Peru or Bolivia has used his
position to advance the interests of any
company or corporation organized to
assist Peru in paying war indemnity
which victorious Chilli might demand.

The exceeding great difference Of

was very strikingly illustrated few
days ago. In Philadelphia there was a

from Russia, and to offer them vel
come to the United States as an asylum
for the oppressed Of all nations, while
the very next daY was observed as a
general holiday in California for the
purpose Of organizing opposition to the
immigration Of Chinese. This does not
look altogether consistent.
