THE PRINCE INTERVIEWED.

A member of the staff of the Temps inter-
! viewed Prince Napoleon to-day on the sub.
ject of his manifesto. The prince said he
had issued the manifesto because everything
was going wrong in France. The republic
had proved its incapacity for governing. II
had not received the sanction of n popular
vote. The Republicans were wrong in not
| having resorted to the plebiscite few years
ago, when they would have secured 500, 900
SURFACES. Prince Napoleon denied that he
hid any personal interest in the matter.
He said he was supporter of the
scrutin de iste because he believed under
the present system the executive was
governed chiefly by local interests. He
should Ike to zee at the head Of the repub-
lie men OF the nation, elected by the nation,
as in the United States. Let the people,
said the prince, appoint Grevy, if they
pleased, but at any rate, free executive
from the Influence of the Deputies, elected by
mere arondis-ements. With the present Cham.
Der of Deputies, il was imposs ibe to hope
for anything. Gambetta had failed to en-
bue it with the principles OF government,
and where he had failed none could hope to

prince said he believed parliamentary
regime was the only one practicable under q
constitutional monarchy. He was convinced
of the perfect legality of his manifesto. A
competent person, he said, had approved its
terms, and had affirmed that the placarding
of it was legal.

IN THE DEPUTIES.

In the Chamber Of Deputies to .day JOLT
bois, Bonapsrtist, interpellased the govern
ment on the subject OF the arrest of Prince
Napoleon. He said the issue of the mani
festo was simply a press ofense. The
prince, he declared, had only exercised his
right, and Deves, minister Of Justice, had
exceeded his authority in causing the princes
arrest.
Deves replied that the manifesto had not
only been published, but placsrded. This
fact had been brought TO the attention of the
judicial authorities, who, in the exercise OF
the complete freedom of action they possessed,
had issued a Mt for the arrest of the
prince. Dsves added that the matter would
IN due course come before the tribunals. The
government was firmly resolved 10 see this

NIMMo ON TARIFF BILLS.
"Fragmentnry Reports Unsatisfactory
Because OF Want OF Time.

A pamphlet was issued from the govern
mont printing office yesterday containing
report prepared by Joseph Nimmo chief of
the bureau of statistics, in response to the
request of the ways and means committee of
the late house of representatives for detailed
statements of the revenue reductions that
would be effected by the enactment of their
proposed tariff bill, aud also of the reductions
In each schedule that would result from the
enactment of the tariff commission bill
Mr.. Nimmo's report Is almost wholly de-
voted to demonstrating that II Is practically
impossible TO prepare tabular statements
which would show fully and in detail tho
comparative results of the present tariff and
those proposed by the two bills indicated and
that, Mt all events, his bureau has not ut its
command the facilities for furnishing the
very largo amount of technical and practical
information, both of commercial and in
dustriul nature, required in IL radical revision
of the tariff
After remarking that the statistical returns
made 60 his Office do not, in many in-
Stances indicate either the quantities or the
values of goods imported enumerated in either
of the two bills, he says, among other things,
"no expert Is employed or is au-
thorized TO be employed in this bureau
for the determination of the many technical
and practical questions of q commercial me-
chanical, and chemical nature which vex
congress and especially those committees
which are charged with the duty of prepar-
ing tariff bills" He, therefore, in an attempt
to meet the requirements of the inquiry,
sought for and obtained from various Gus
toms officers, and from the sundry experts
in tho mechanical aud chemical industries of
the country" namely, Messrs. MoKessen
& Robbins, importers of chemical products !;
Joseph Willetts, oarthenware manufacturer (;
N. II. De Pauw, manufacturer of glassware,
and William G. Wychoff, secretary of the Silk
Association of America), mass of information
on special topics, which he duly transmitted
to the committee with an emphatic admission
that it is " fragmentary," and further
apologetic remark that " ii is the best which
could be procured with the means at COM
mand and within the space of time which
could be allotted to the work."

The EIght-IIour Law.

The eight-hour law was passed in June,
1868. There had been for year or more an
increased agitation throughout the land among
workingmen of every occupation and trade
for reduction in the hours Of labor, without
any reduction in pay. Tho demand
was that capital should forego something
and conCede it to the laborer, The latter
did not ask leave of absence without pay
for two hours Of each day, but his COM
plant was that the money he earned cost
him too much of the vital energies which
were his only stock in trade. 1t was as clear
a demand for new definition of "a fair days
work +" as IL was declaration that the exist
ing compensation was but the "fair days
pay" for the new hours which were claimed
to onsttute the "fair day" To concedo the
demand and then deduct fifth of the days
pay would have been simply giving a scorpion
for fish or stone for bread, In the midst
Of this loud demand congress declared by law
that eight hours should be the length
Of time in each day which should
be required in government employ.
The manifest and avowed object of this was
as well understood as was the act to strengthen
the public credit in 1869. Tho government
as an employer contracted with every man
who should work for. il after June 25, 1868,
that he should be paid days wages for eight
as though he had absconded or been kid
hours work. Previous to that time the law

had been that hours of labor and rate Of
wages should conform as near as might be to
private establishments, the decision thereon
to bo finally made by the secretary Of the
navy. The laborer was entitled under the
old law TO the rate of wages he could COM
mand at private establishments. This meant
the same rate per day, because tho
day was the labor unit, and men
worked by the day only. Being thus enti-
tied to the prevailing daily wages, he was by
law released from working more than eight
hours In consideration of such wages If this
statute was ono authorizing tho issuance of
United States bonds, and there should be any
attempt to defeat its plain object and break
to the creditors hope the word of promise IL
gave to his car, the country would be aroused
by the strongest protests against it in all the
lending journals When Mr.. George H..
Pondleton and Brick Pomeroy advocated the
payment Of the 5-2Os in greenbacks we were
told that the nations honor required that its
creditors should bo paid according 10 the spirit
as well as the letter of the law, aud that
meant in coin. The act of 1869, which prom
ised payment ain coin" including by its
terms silver dollars, has ever since been exc
cutcd by the Treasury department as though
the word "gold" had been inserted before
"coin," because our secretaries of the treasury
have insisted that The understanding Of the cred
itorS Is The supreme ld,D as 10 the public debt
Why should a different rule of construction
prevail when daily laborers are the creditors? /?
We are pleased to see that the secretary
of the navy has ordered that the present
eight hours of labor be continued in the
navy yards. This is we'll. Now let the
full days wages follow d full legal days
work according to the obvious meaning and
import of the law. This does not
touch private employers except by the force
of its example 1t simply executes the will
of the people rs expressed in the law passed
by their representatives, and pays the ma
tions honest debts to those who have humbly
toiled for il with their hands. AS matter
of interest. the government should be as care
full of its credit with those upon whom it may
call to bear arms in its defense as it is with
those upon whom it may call for loans of
money with which to purchase those arms.
