yVORKINGMEN AND WAGES.

To THE EDITOR: do not often find anything in
your paper-which Is eagerly looked for in our
not meagerly supplied periodical list-to question
critcise; but having my interest deeply excited
in the present aspect and development of the ques-
ton what TO do for the relief of the oppressed in ali
Iands-a question serious as any that called
a people to arms-I cannot but call further atien-
ton TO the statement as to comparative wages in
Newark and Paisley made over the names of Clark
e. Co, thread manufacturers in your last issue.
must protest against being classed with " recls-
less writers and speakers " who claim that wages
in this country but little higher than in England
IL is notorious that in all departments of labor the
tendency is to reduce the pay to the minimum on
which the laborer will consent to live have fol-
lowed the development of this condition of things
for some years. and am that the frequent and
systematic electromagnetic which combined
labor even has only lately begun to succeed in pac-
ing successful opposition-made in the interest OF
the manipulation, who is not content with anything
short of absolute possession of that surplus above
absolute necessity is the rule East, West, North
and South, and knows no limit but the endurance
of the working classes"
j would like TO ask Messrs Clark & Co. by how
much. considering difference in rent and cost OF
living, their employees better paid than those
of Paisley. What difference in hours of labor,
restrictions and rules involving penalty and other
regulations affecting average earnings show in
favor OF Newark? Also, if the company mako a
merit OF keeping the pay Of employees up to a
figure which TO me does not seem TO parake largely
of the profits of production, averaging among the
classes of labor namei liz the list from foremen "

is the generous privilege of American labor, where

THE D;srrLLEDs, Tgouerrs.

A fitting illustration of the ineliiciency and
even danger of Governmental interference in
tation TO extend the bonded period for whisky
Four years ago the distiIlers of the country
had produced some lJ,000000 gallons more
for They came to Congress with this statement,
and represented that the enforcement Of the col
lection of the tax on them would work great
hardship. and asked that they be allowed to
store the whisky for three years. at WHICH time
they would have worked FALL their surplus, and
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1884-11-06

the tax could be paidwthout special difficulty.
Congress granted the request, but instead of
working off their surplus stock during the
three years grace allowed them, it was found
ut the end of that time that they had enlarged
it enormously, having no less than 100,000,000
gallons on hand when pay day came. They
came again to Congress and asked further
relief, and pointed out that in this large amount
of whisky there was involved the capital of
national banks and a great many other inter
ests which had become dependent on the dis
tillery business
The ill-success attending the first granting
of grace did not Predispose Congress to any
further attempts to aid the whisky makers,
and the session was allowed to close without
any law for their relief being passed They
then hit upon the expedient Of shipping the
whisky to foreign countries,-the tax being
RENTED on exports,-and then bringing it back
to the country, when another three years could
elapse before the tax would be demanded. The
Secretary of the Treasury informed them that
he would allow no technical evasion of the law
in this way; that they must ship the whisky
abroad for storage, and that mere shipment
out and back would not be sufficient. Diff
culties were met at every step in the way of
any storage abroad The Bahamas, which
were the first places thought of for such a
deposit of great quantities of whisky, were
found to be without any adequate warehouses,
and the insurance on whisky there would be
much more than the interest on the money in
vested in liquors. Canada was naturally
thought of, but the revenue regulations of that
country are adjusted to 100 gallon packages, and
as most American packages are in the neigh
borhood of so gallons the cost of re-barreling
rendered it impossible to ship to Canada with
any degree Of success.
1t does not appear how Congress can consist
emily help these people out. If they did not
take advantage of the relief given three years
ago, what guarantee have we that they will
manage their affairs any better in the future?

THE GOOD WORK.

Agitation of the matter of soldiers rights
however generous, are prone to forget what is
due those who have served them and made
sacrifices for them.
The people of the United states were not dis
posed for an instant to belittle or deny the
great services and sacrifices of those who have
done everything for them.
In spite Of the carping and sneering of men
and papers who we,o hostile to those who
saved the Nations life, the great heart of the
people was and is true to the country's
defenders.
What was necessary was to wake up the
community to what it owed to these brave
men. The country is even eager to pay the
debt it owes to patriotism and valor.
Everywhere are gratifying evidences of
this awakening of the public conscience. The
matter of justice to soldiers has entered into
every Congressional canvass north of the Poto-
mac and the Ohio Every candidate for Con
gress has been made to feel that proper treat
ment of the Nations defenders was one of the
first Of his duties, if elected.
The press and the men most hostile to the
soldiers have felt the influence of the awakened
sentiment of the people, and there is marked
diminution of the sneers and virulent opposi-
ton with which every pension movement was
met few years ago.
This splendid result has been secured by the
agitation in which THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
has taken leading and determined part, and
by the increase in numbers and influence of
the GAR.
The good work is not near completed yet.
1t must be kept UP until every worthy soldier
of the Union receives his deserts. The GAR
and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE are the two
most effective factors in securing this end.
We can promise that the latter will allow no
tagging in its efforts until all is done that
should be done.

What has Skepticisrn done for the world ?
Nothing but to suggest doubts. It has even
suggested that Rheumatism cannot be cured.
Skepticism is as bad as Rheumatism.
What has Science done for the world2
good many things; for instance, it has
shown that Rheumatism can be cured
It has shown that Neuralgia can be got rid OF.
Modern science hasproved that Rheumat ism IS
a blood disease, and has provided ATHLoPHoRoS
as the remedy which can completely cure It
1t has proved that although the old doctors
failed to overcome Neuralgia, ATHLoPHoRoS can
reach it, and eradicate 1t from the system.
1t has proved that though these tormentdng

be overcome in little while by means OF
