I
Tho letters Of Mir. Robt. P. Porter,
late secretary Of the tariff commission,
now being published in the New York
Tribune, throw strong light on the
coalition of the laboring class ia Great
Britain, which is very pertinent to the
present tariff agitation IN this coun-
try. We are of those who believe
that il is for the best interests of the
country that workiugmen should be
well paid for their labor, and see no
other way to secure this in the indus
tries which are subject to foreign com
petition than by a protective tariff.
We are. occasionally met with the as
sertion that wages, considered as a
purchasing power are as high in Great
Britain as in the United States. This
is more easily asserted than refuted,
though its falsity has been shown,
with arilhmetiGal rcircumstantiality,
time and again. CorroboratIve evil
dence Of its incorectness is furnished
by the tens of thousands. of British
worl1men who each year enheayor to
better their condition by seeking en-
pIoyment in the protected industries
Of America. In the Glasgow ship |
yards Mr.. Porter found the average
weekly wages Of the skilled workmen
10 be So IS, while the ordinary laborer
IAN obtain but 50 so. With this
wage he is able 10 drag ont an exist
,nce, bat not to lead the life of a self {
,espectcd and respected citizen. The
British manufacturer views the Amer
can tariff with inyeterate hostility. |
t robs him Of part Of highly profit
die market, and be cannot abuse this
Chinese Waii' too much, /.

That BeautifuI NIeteor-

A correspondent says: The COURIER of Thursday stated that the people of GuiIford saw a brilliant meteor on Tuesday evening. It was also seen in this city at 1O:15 D. m The janitor Of the North Sheffield Hall thus describes it While looking up at the zenith to sec if the sky was cloudy as at horizon 8 large ball of fire burst from the sky as large as one's head and of four col DTS, white, yellow, green and red, ilIumina- ting all objects around, shooting rapidly east or east of north, going half way down to the horizon, which, being hazy, obscured some or it's brilliancy It made no report at its disappearance or gave out no sparks dur ing it's course. The tail looked to. the eye to be three feet, and was sharpened down. The same colors were seen from beginning to end. About three minutes after it disap- peared there came loud rumbling noise like distant thunder, which shook the windows of the house in front of where I stood The rumbling came from the same direction that the meteor disappeared. It was beautiful sight and will long be remembered.
 Another correspondent writes: On Sun day evening last was walking up Chapel street with 8 friend, and had just crossed Howe street. when we were startled by sec ing before us sudden and brilliant illumina- tion, as if by an electric light of the trees and houses On turning quickly around, we saw at about twenty or twenty five feet north of us bright, white light gently descending to the earth. It was at the height of the third story of house when we first saw it, and became invisible before reaching the ground. Ten o'clock had struck about three minutes before SO we concluded that we saw the end of the meteor which WAS noticed at Guilford and at Norwich at the same hour

The Western Sufferers.

The Meeting at Turn Hall Last Evening"
 Last evening meeting was held in Turn Hall for the purpose of aiding the flood sui ferers in the West. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor, who was appolnseo chairman, and Louis Steinert secretary. on taking the chair the Mayor said it is not nec- essary to explain the wants of the people, for all who read the papers know that thousands of dollars worth of property has been lost by our western brothers. Many have lost all that they possessed in the world. The peo- ple of New Haven feel that we ought to aid them in their distress and as we have g rec ord for iberality ought to maintain it. There may be some who think all things necessary have been provided, but this l think is not so. All that can be done can not replace the injury sustained.
 The general tenor of the remarks was that aid should be sent, and as abundantly as pos sible. Councilman Sperry suggested that blank forms of subscription be left in all places where people congregate, which met with the hearty support of all present.
 A committee of three, Messrs. F. II. Sper- ", Louis Steinert and Wiegand Schlein, was appointed to select members of the various societies in the city to act as collectors and to make arrangements for concerts and other entertainments. The Mayor was chosen gen. eral traasurer of the funds.
