IN British Columbia coal mining
is not over active. Quite a number
of men are idle from want of places.
In one of the mines there are three
Chinese for each white man.

4 WoRKISGMAN's PARADE. The
workingmen of New York are maxi
ing arrangements for grand parade
on the first Of September, and the in
tention is that every trade, great or
small, shall participate. It is believed
by some of the gentlemen who are on
the committee of arrangements that
at least $4,000 men can be mustered.
There is no reason to suppose that
the demonstration is to be in any
sense political, though the politicians,
who are just now on the wild hunt
for the workingmen's votes, will
watch 1t with uncommon interest.
"IoU may 60 on denouncing the
unit rule till your wig turns gray,'
mildly remarked Mrs. Col. Minks-
fate to the colonel, who laid down
his morning paper to speak his mind
about the Chicago Democratic Con-
yention you may talk against it till
the crack Of doom, but you'll take it
out in talk, for the unit rule is sus-
tanned in this family; and ] want
you to understand that ! am the

FIFTEEN or twenty democratic
Senators were at Chicago this week
aiding and abetting the nomination
of a presidential ticket. They should
have remembered the fate met by a
so-called senatorial syndicate in those
same political purlieus a few weeks
ago. There seems to be an impress
sion abroad in these piping days that
senators are elected to make laws and
not to manufacture administrations,
and that if the common herd can
choose senators it can also choose
presidents.
WITH no desire to court the friend
ship of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler we
suggest that, having received the
anti-monopoly and greenback nomi-
nations, the want of an endorsement
by the democratic convention is not
Il serious one. A man of his fertile
resources ought easily to also COM
bine the temperance and anti temper
ance people and sweep the country.

\ CORRESPONDENT of the J0lgWal,
Columbus, o., says the miners can
not average $500 per day by digging
coal, because there is no demand for
it. The trouble is this: There are
too many coal mines in this State to
supply the market: also too many
men to supply the mines. Then
when you come to the operator that
runs a coal mine, he thinks he should
get independently rich in from five
to ten years. If the three parties,
namely, operator, railroad companies
and coal miners, would learn to do
unto others as they wish to be done
by, then the three parties could get
along much better.
Coal lay i'll lodges under the ground
since the flood, until q Iaborer with
pick and windlass brings it to tic
surface. We may well call it black
ai'sl!apns!s. Every basies Is powc.
and civilization. Fer coal is portable
climate. 1t carries the heat Of he
tropics to Labrador and the polar cir
Gle; it is the means Of transporting
Itself whithersuever it is wanted.

SIX Dollars Fer Month.

In 1883 this country was languishing un-
der ono of the lowest tariffs ever inflicted
upon 1t. In that year tho Hon. Henry
Wilson, cf Mass, ono Of our wisest and
most patriotic statesmen, during the war
cried, was 21 years old. In that same year
lie hired himself out to lumber man for
he princely remuneration Of SO per month
and board, aud to earn that munifoent sum
hehad to rise before daylight and to work till
darkness fully set in, for there were no eight
tnd ten hour laws then, remember. II a
day laborer Of to-day was proGerod that
sum now for ono wcek's work no would feel
insulted and feel like resenting the insult
with a blow from his sturdy fist
at that same period an able-bodied house
maid earned the Astorian and princey in
come Of from So to SO per month Aud she
had to work from twelve to fourteen hours
per day at that
Mr.. Wilson, in speech in tho United
States Senate on "Protection to American
Industry stated these facts, and added that
some of the brightest women he had ever
known had TO work for such paltry wages,
And those same women had TO give four or
Ave weeks work for ton yards Of calico

Importers smelling ont.

The importers of New York city, it Is
said, have shclled out round 81 ,000, 900
for the cause of Cleveland and Froe-Trade,
since the result in Ohio showed thom that
extraordinary measures must now be re-
sorted TO in order to throw down the bar
riers which keep out the products of the
cheap labor OF Europe. This story Is prob
able, for 1t Is now an established fact that
the Democrats never had one-tenth rs much
money to spend as they had In the recent
campaign. Where did 1t come from? Not
from tho Democrats of tho State, for they
did not have IL to spare. Not from thoir
oflicc-holders, for they had enough to do to
save their own bacon.
1t came from the importers and from tho
agents of the great manufacturing houses
of England established in that city. They,
and they only, could afford to squander
money in such vast sums, aud they did it
for Ohio and will do 1t again for tho Demo-
Gratis of the whole country. These inn
portcrs and agents would moro than get
their money back in the first year of Free
Trade with this country, leaving the other
three years Of Cloveland's administration
in which to gether in their great profits.
Republicans everywhere must take warn
ing from this astounding fact and not allow
the foe to steal q triumph they cannot OBJ
tain by fair means. Up up ye men of
strong arms and brave hearts who build
and make our country The contest is be-
tween you and the pauper labor of the old
world. 1t is your fight, and it will be your
victory when il is won.

HARK What is that we hear from
Ohio2 Sounds like swearing. And it Is
swearing. Tho Democrats are cursing the
"blanked Dutch" (meaning the Germans),
and "the internal Irish" Aud they are
swearing that the next time they'll leave
tho blanked saloon.keepers to vote down pro-
hibition by themselves Thus it goes: Ifthe
miners vote against Democratic Free Trade
ard for their own interests, they arc
"droves Of hogs" If the German Republi-
cans vote their cherished principles, thoy
are "the blanked Dutch !" And if the
1rish-Americans vote with tho party they
believe will do justice to them and their
unfortunate country, they are "the in
fernal Irish" And so it goes. Nothing
but curses aud threats and vituperation
for all who dare oppose the desperate
schemes Of these desperate tricksters. If
the miners, and the Germans and Irish
Americans do not retaliate these iniuri-
Gus aspcrsions in November, the country
Las fearfully misjudged them. British gold
may bny hoodlum hero and there, but
it cannot corrupt the men who arc work
Ing and voting for principles and for their
families, be they native citizens or of
foreign birth. Let the cursing go on.
Curses and chickens always come home to
Ioost, as they will in this case.

A CORRESPONDENT of tho Irish World,
who has lived in this country for twenty
years, writes to that journal that "no Irish
man who mas seen as much would dare to
vote for Free Trrde." He might have gone
much farther and might have written that
no lrishman who has witnessed the effects
OF English Free Trade in Ireland would
dare to vote for Free Trade in this country.
Free Trade, as imposed upon Ireland by
England, has impoverished the whole Irish
nation and made 1t sort of almshouse,

condition of chronic pauperism, the situa-
tion being made intolerable to every man,

are the deprivations OF the people that Iro-
