Mr. Robert P. Porters letter from Mulhausen,
Alsace, is a capital one to close his series oil
communications in regard to Industrial Ger
many. The history of the cotton manufacture
of that town illustrates well the effect OF the
recent protective legislation for the Empire.
After the annexation of Alsacc this industry Ill
Mulhausen languished until 1879, when the
new protective tariff of Bismarck was adopted
Immediately, despite many hostile conditions
which resulted from the war with France, tho
cotton spinning of Mulhauscn revived, and since
then has steadily improved. Now the profits OF
the manufacturers are satisfactory and the wages
of the workmcn have increased materially
Throughout Germany, as Mr.. Porter has shown
in this series of letters, industries of all KINDS
have been helped by the adoption OF the pro-
tectivc tariff Factories which fell into RUNS
under frce-trade rule have now been rebuilt,
mills and spindlcs that had stopped running
have been put in operation, and wages have
increased Such results are not likely to pre-
iudice either German or American workmen
against protection.

Last week saw much political work accom-
plished in this city but great deal remains to
be done within the next few days. Senators ana
Asscmblymcn are to be nominated, and last but
not least, members for a new Board OF Alder-
men. The Democratic factions here are lkeiy
to be divided in respect to some OF these
positions. Herein lies no small advantage
to Republicans. If good men are selected by
them as candidates for the Legislature, ana u
vigorous effort is put forth in their behalf, we
can send to Albany next winter several more
representatives than the Republican party hau
there last winter. The importance OF choosing
proper candidates for Aldermen is alsoapparen''
Most of the abuses which exist at present III the
city government are primarily the result OF put
ting dishonest men in the Common Council
Chamber. They have seldom voted TO cohiiiih
GOOD nominations which the different Mayors
have made for heads of departments, Dnt nave
invariably and easily voted for the worst The
Republican candidates for Aldermen therefore,
should be irreproachable. Then they will GER

ocrats who are disguised by the recent scandals

Republican in Brooklyn who has failed TO have
himself registered heretofore viii not neglect
this important duty to-day. All the Democrats
are sure to register Their leaders realize how
much depends on being able to get out a full
vote on election day, and they hope that the
Republicans, being sanguine of success will
fail to turn out in strength. 1t is precisely in

increase for the previous twelve months. The ex-

expected; but reduced appropriations rendered
