Great Strike In Now York.

New YORK, July 22.-About 1000 brick
layers, 5000 laborers, and 200 hosting en-
gineers and trainers have struck work be
cause their employers refuse to grant their
demands that nine hours shall constitute a
days work, instead of ten. The employers
who denied the request say that they can get
other men to take their places, and whether
they can or not it wik be but few DAYS until
the men will be willing to return to work at
the old terms. The bosses who granted the
nine hours think the others foolish, as they
will have to yield in the end As fast as the
men struck they reported at the headquarters
of their respective unions. About thirty five
employers allowed their men to 60 60 work
on their own terms Hugh MsMahon, who
has charge of the erection of the new cotton
exchange, SAYS; The building trade is very
lively | do not think the boss builders can
afford to have their men go out on a strike
for any length of time without suffering
great loss. Nearly all of the large builders
will grant the demand"
The strikers claim that they can stand it
longer than the employers can, and will hold
out six months if necessary. 1t is reported
that on many of the jobs the men were not
out ten minutes before they were told to GO
to work again. A large number of bosses
held out until noon and then yielded thus
leaving not over 1000 men on strike.

THE Brooklyn Eagle assumes that Gen,
Butler Will not oppose the election of
Cleveland and Hendricks, and furnishes
two facts as its warrant for the assump-
ton. First, he told newspaper reporter
that he had not definitely accepted the
nomination rendered him by the green
hackers and anti monopolists, and that
he would not at present announce his
position. Second, his personal organ, the
Boston Globe, not only supports the Chi
cago ticket, but supports it enthusiastic
ally 1t seems clear, therefore, that his
ultimate purpose is to do nothing thai
would sacrifice his standingin the Massa-
chusetts democratic organzatiou-a sac
rifce which his opposition to the ticket
would necessarily involve.

New York erald (lnd.)
The Herald puts at the head of its col
umns the democratic ticket for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States. We congratulate the democratic
party upon the work of its convention at
Chicago and the opportunity it offers to
the American people through a union of
patriotic voters, by whatever name they
call themselves democrats, indepen-
dents, labor reformers, or whatever else
to redeem the country from the disgrace
and peril which the republican party has
plotted to expose it by the thoroughly
bad nomination of Blaine and Logan.
Cleveland's easy nomination on the secs
ond ballot justifies all we have
thought and said of the sound Judgment
and good sense of the convention when
put to the test of choosing between what
is sound vital and vigorous in the demos
cracy and what is very much the other
way, and the convention is to be congra4
tulated upon the fact that it has named
the man who will be the next president.
Parties in this country are to,day at the
turning point in their history, and it is for
the democracy, if they hope to impress
its convictions upon the life of the nation,
to take this turn in the tide at its happy
moment, or they must remain stranded
with the wrecks of the past not over>res
spectacle history. The nomination of
Cleveland means that the young domoce
racy is determined to take the tide at its
flood. We believe also that it is a nomis
nation which will commend the approval
of the aged and sagacious, as well as the
enthusiasm of the vigorous and youthful.
All the vigor Of the nation went at a
given moment in our history into that
great agglomeration of political energy
which is known as the republican party,
and went there for good reasons and
accomplished grand and magnificent
purpose. That was the organization by
which the people saved the country. But
the country is saved, and that party has
become another sort of machinery. 1t is
like house from which the owners have
gone away, and which is overrun with
rats. 1t is at that stage which happens
some time in the history of every party
cherishes no purpose in sympathy with it.
even and has become a mere cabal OF
political hucksters, who use it only to gel

"Rigolo" Takes a Rather Gloomy
View Of Future Trade Prospects.
Great Depression Present, and Moth
ing Better Looked for Until
After misunderstanding for
Nine Hours n Day.

New YORK, July 22.-"Rigolo," The Suns
Wall street man, thus comments on the situa-
ton among the bulls and bears:
The general situation Of mercantile and
financial affairs is less encouraging than ever
Almost every day brings crop of failures
not OF small houses, but of the Oldest and
most trusted of each branch of trade
Of course every merchant or banker
has some stocks no matter how few,
and these, being the most easy to move, are
the first thrown overheard. Then the cred
itors of the busted" concerns have to sell
their holdings SO as to meet their liabilities,
which in ordinary times they would have
paid out of the collections from houses which
now have failed Stockholders may do a
little business selling the blocks of stocks thus
threwn overheard, but they do not make
enough to indulge in the luxurious mode of
living which has become so notorious in re-
cent years This naturally adds to the gen
eral depression which exists in every kind of
business, and nothing but retrenchment is
talked of on every side.
An axiom which has always proved true in
Wall street is that during the uncertainty
existing between the nominations of the can
biudOCo iSi tiC E1SsIucHC1 INC SltCbiUu a
dull market is to be expected No matter
who the successful candidate may be, his
election tends to steady things for Wall
street knows then what to expect and what
is the proper bait to offer to the public
This element of uncertainty is now increased
by the action of the banks, which are very
chary III lending on even the best paper as
long as they can put their money on call in
Wall street The best authorities on bank
business say that money must soon become
very tight. The farmers will want money
to pay their harvest laboreTs, and the coun-
try banks will begin to draw heavily on
New York. 1t is almost sure now that crops
will be excellent, but unless there is a paying
market abroad the farmer can make no
money, for he will hold to his produce in the
hope Of getting higher prices, and, conse-
quently, he will have to borrow OF sell some
thing else, and will be unable to spend the
money which he generally expends in the
fall and winter in dry goods and other manu-
featured articles. Of course, any fail
ure in the demand for the crops at prevail
ing prices would tell very seriously
upon the railroads and the shipping bust
ness so that the future of stocks depends to q
great extent upon the PRICES at which the
farmers will be disposed to sell and the for
eign consumer to buy our breadstuffs. Sup
posing that the grain and provision specu-
lators of Chicago and other big centers take
the crops off the farmers hands, they will
not be able to sell them at a profit for some
time to come and the carrying charges will
demand a pile of money. Thus there is not
the slightest indication that an improvement
in Wall street affairs is likely to take place
for several months to come
