Lord Chief Justice Coltrilge, of Eng

try, and is getting bounrituIly wined

such a large number of artisans and
working men own the houses they live
in. We are not at all surprised at jus

will never exist here. There are com

Low Wages and free Trade.

The Reading Times has to record
another reduction of wages that has
taken place among the employees Of the
Reading Iron Works, which, it says,
has seriously affected the pay OF work.
men. Welders, who received $3.50,
were cut down to $3.50; assistant
welders, from $40 to $l.45; roll
overs, from $3.50 to $l.25, and all other
iaborers in proportion. Atthe bending
furnaces the head men were reduced
twenty-five cents, and their assistants
fifteen and thirteen cents. The butt
welders were reduced from $3.50 to
$l.SS; the assistant welders from Sl.'5
to 81. .35. The officials of the works say
that the reduction and equalization in
wages were made necessary owing to
the dullness in trade. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that this reduction will not
long be conf ned to Reading, but will
spread to all the iron works in the
country. The reason for this wholesale
reduction as given by the officials is a
plausible one. If they have not got
orders they cannot employ men at any
price, and if the workmen 60 on a
strike for niger wages the employers
will not care because in the uncertain
state of trade they may make more by
shutting up than by running their
works.
While we are pleased to know that
no such wholesale reduction of wages
has taken place in the workshops of
Wilmington, we can but sympathlze
with the unfortunate workmen OF
Reading. There is d question, how
ever, that lies beyond the mere scarcity
of orders in Reading industry. That
question is, what is the cause of this
scarcity of orders? There are as many
public works under way now as evei
before. New railroads are being built
in every direction, but with it all there
is this lamentable dullness in manu-
featuring business.
1t is slowly coming to the minds of
good many people that if the iron
shipped to this country from England
was manufactured here ut home there
would be more work for our working.
men.
While England is paying her work
men starvation wages to enable her to
compete with the United States and
still pay the high duties imposed
American woIkmen are slowly coming
to the same level.
1t may perhaps dawn upon the minds
of American worknen that there is {
little too much free trade for comfor
and convenience. While we have
sincere sympathy for all those who arr
suffering from reduction III theil
wages, which were small enough at first
tina feeling is in II measure modified by
the thought that all those who blind
ly and wilfully voted for free trade arr
getting exactly what they voted for
VIII n wages get down to the wage
paid workmen in England who work il
manufactures, perhaps our American
workmen who are 80 blatant for tre
trade will I've fully satisfied.

1T SEEMS NOW that Purnal j. Lynch
in his canvass for the appointment of
Recorder of Deeds is having opposition
of the most formidable kind at home.
William A. Wilson, very capable and
estimable gentleman, also resident of
St. Georges Hundred, a Democrat of
the straitest sect, has, it is said, been
on the still hunt for the office for two
years past, and Governor Stockley, it is
said, is very strongly inclined to ap-
point Mr.. Wilson. The latter Is said to
have rendered very efficient aid in hav-
ing Mr.. Stockley nominated for Gov
ernor and, therefore, has strong claim
for recognition. An additional recon-
| mendation for Mr. Wilson is that the
Wilson family are old residents and
are very wealthy, paying on a property
valuation of SljO,00o. f Mr.. Wilson is
appointed, it will act as notice served
that no poor man need apply for an Of
flee Mr.. Hoicomb was appointed over

turned down by Mr.. Wilson, no doub,
he will have more admiration for the

Liquor Figures,

If happiness is obtained through the
use of intoxicating liquors, then the
people of the first revenue collection
district in Pennsylvania should be q
happy people. Collector Pollock has
for the sake Conformation, prepared an
interesting statement, showing the
amount of liquor On hand in that dis
trict that can be utilized should the peo-
pie take notion to 60 on grand old
spree The disirictcomprises the coun-
ties of Philadelphia, Chester, De aware,
Bucks, Montgomery, Lebanon, Berks
and Lehigh with population OF 1878
1855. There are in the district from 10,
600 10 1900 liquor dealers. The guam
tity of liquor in the district is estima-
ted by Collector Pollock as follows
Held by wholesalers, 1902, III gallons )
held by retailers 100000 held In bond
793, 1867 gallons; total 1886, l44 gallons
This estimate shows that on the first OF
October there were in the district two
gallons and half for each man, woman
and child in the district. This reduced
down to simple drinks allowing four
drinks to a gill, would give each man,
woman and child three hundred and
twenty drinks in year. But we may
reasonably suppose that this amount Oh
hand and in bond will all be used up in
three mouths, when like amount
would take its place and SO on every
three months in the year, which would
increase tue quantity used to II, 3S4, $40
gallons or to l2Sn drains year for each
man, woman and child in the district.
This calculation does not include for
eien wines, brandy and domestic wines,
as Internal Revenue coll ctors have
nothing to do with them. Neither does
it include the quantity of lager bee
! used. We xill be charitable enough
however, to believe that all this quan
tity of Intoxicating stuff is not used II
the First District but the larger guam
trty of 1t is shipped to other PAGES. Bu
as it is the figures are startling an,
suggestive.
