BAIT1MoRE, Nov. 2-Pohtics for the
past few weeks have been the absorbing
interest in labor circles here, as well as
in those of strictly political character,
In consequence of the attendant ex-
eitement upon the presidential campaign
little or no concern has been manifested
by the majority Of delegates In affairs de-
yolving upon the Federation CT Labor.
Now that the result of the great political
contest is known, an effort is to be made
to infuse new life into that organization,
whose Inauguration year ago marked
SO much enthusiasm among our labor
unions. Organization, however, upon
the whole, is making headway Assem-
blies and trade uruons are adding new
members to their rolls nightly. Between
our builders and Union iourneymen car
penters the best feeling prevails the
former also have an organization, and
nearly every builder of any reputation
at all is connected Herewith.
Business among the trades here gener-
ally is fair, and 1 hear no talk in any
quarter of reduction in wages.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 24-The cleo
ton of Grover Cleveland to the presl-
dency was celebrated here by the de-
mocracy in a manner which did credit to
that ancient and patient organization.
The Virginians were over here in force,
on horseback principally, and added not
little to the imposing array. But one
accident happened, when a torchbearer
was slightly wounded in the head by a
pistol shot. A negro was arrested for
firing the shot, but there seems to be
some mystery connected with it.
1t is said that the president intends to
devote as much of his time as possible
between now and the reassembling OF
congress to make appointments. He has
called upon the secretary of the interior
to furnish him with a list of the appll-
cants for the Office of commissioner OF
labor. statistics. The list will contain
the names of about fifty applicants, and
will be presented to the president some
time this week. However, no prediction
can be made in regard to the appoint
ment and it is hardly probable tnatan my
thing further will be done until congress
meets.

The Late Campaign.

Editor LABOR ENoUIHER:
! Probably the last presidential cam
paign has been unprecedented in modern
times for intense excitement and wild
recklessness. Vituperation, ,slander and
personal abuse have been the chief
weapons used in the conflict. No issues
of any Importance have been introduced
to guide the people in the great political
battle by the two old parties.
At the very last moment the astute
politicians of the republican and demo-
cratic parties adopted a labor plank in
their platforms. In the same spirit that
the angler employs the worm for batting
purposes the great object to catch the
fish. And strange 70 say the great ma
jority of the workingmen have been
gulled by the transparent dodge SO
adroitly and artfulIy managed by the
political tacticians.
| Look back oyer the long years, of re-
publican supremacy and find, if you can,
any great measures passed for the bene-
fit of the masses. The pages of its his
tory are stained by foul corruption and
gross jobbery. Monopoly has found
ready tools and willing hands to do its
shameful work in the halls OF congress.
And scarcely leading senator is free
from the taint Of dishonest dealings. It
is unnecessary to enter into a detailed
account of the 6emoralizing transactions
between scheming monopolists and inn
pure congressman. And in spite of the
| fearless and intelligent exposure of these
matters by the labor press hundreds OF
thousands of toilers swelled the ranks OF
republican voters and misused this IN
fuence in the working for and deposit
ing of tickets supporting the great mo-
nopoly ring.
We have nothing better to expect from
the democratic party seeing its connec-
ton with Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Truly the work Of the labor teacher
and champion is education and inde-
pendence, and from present indications
the accomplishment of these aims re-
quires tlreless energy, answering pa
tience and undaunted perseverance.
We have four years of hope and prep
aration in advancing our labor principles,
and may that same spirit of pure patriot
ism that prompted the revolutionary
patriots to resist foreign tyranny inspire
the great industrial forces of to-day to
overcome home oppression and display
their illlmitable power and progressive
wisdom in 1888 by seating in the presi,

English Trades Unions.

Some remarkable statistics of the
strength and work of the trades unions
of England were given by Mr.. Frederick
Harrison recently in an address before a
trade union congress in London. The
most common idea of trade union IS
that it is an organization of workmen
designed chiefly to give them sup
port in strikes against their en-
ployers. Mr.. Harrison shows that, SO
far as English unions are concerned, this
is an error. They have more than
doubled their numbers and incomes dur
ing the past sixteen years. Five of the
principal unions, which did not in 1867
number in all 10000 members, now have
an aggregate membership Of 125,ooO.
During the same period they have
doubled their incomes and their re-
served funds. Trade in England suffer
ed severe depression during these years,
and the strain upon the unions was very
great. Seven of them spent within six
years nearly $lO,O00,000 in support of
men out Of work and for other chari-
table purposes, drawing upon their re-
serve funds for nearly 100000, yet
now they have an aggregate balance on
hand of 81 100000. The engineers union
alone paid S750,OOO to men out of work
tin the year 1879, and during five years
the same object s1,935,O0O, During the
hard times in 1879 more than $4,000 per.
sons we're wholly supported by the funds
of five unions, which in the same yeai
spent Sc, ,0O0, 900 in aiding the sick, pay.
ing insurance on tools and lives, and fol
other purposes Out of the total expen-
diture of $1O0OO,O0O in six years, only
$780, 900 was spent in settling strikes and
trade disputes of all kinds; and during
the last year, when their aggregate in
come was 81 $4,000, and their aggregate
resources $S,45O,oOO, they spent only
s25 900 in settling disputes, or less thar

BuFrAIo, Nov. 2S.The Pitts a21icul-
tural implement works have resumed
operations with about hreefourths Of
their regular force. We are informed
the Delaney forge will resume nextweek
and that the American grape sugar
works will Immediately begin operations
with full complement of men. This,
with the information that the Cleveland
rolling mill will resume with $500 men,
has put some heart into many Who have
felt discouraged from long idleness.
The Lackawanna railroad has laid off
1900 men along its line who were en-
gagged in construction and repairs. No
men have been laid off in the operating
department. About $50 have been
dropped in the Buffalo district.
Building continues to pick up. Many
new foundations were started last week.
Fewer unemployed men are seen in the
streets. The close of the campaign has
slackened job printing somewhat but
there is plenty of work for all the men
on hand. Lithographers are all busy at
good wages. Amidon & White are rum
ming two gangs right and day filling
orders for their corner bit braces. Busi-
ness on the dock IS rushing as the season
nears a close. Sailors are beginning to
think of winter quarters, and happily
haye had but few casualties to record so
far this season.
The Italian nuisance is becoming less
intolerable as maily of the poems are be-
ing shipped to tho Canada Pacific rail-
road and other points.
y There is an impression among many OF
our business men that industrial activity
is bound to resume before long, as stocks
are clearing out i'll mostly all lines and
provision must be made for the demands
of the future. Lttus hope so.

away the circulars, which they accord
ingly did, but too late to save him, as be

posed of two wards, on opposite sides oi

Of his ward (the Sixth, which comprises
the whole Of West St. Paul) against the
other one.
On the whole, workingmen are well
satisfied with the result. The Butler
men, instead of being discouraged, in

have called q ameeting for that purpose,
calculating that in four years from now
they will Be in good condition to enter

| NEW YORK, Noy. 23-At its session
the Central Labor Union took steps to-
ward doing something for the relief OF
the striking miners of the Hooking VAL
ley of Ohio. Heading the subscription
list with 500 from the funds of the union,
the secretary was instructed to visit the
Offices OF all the daily papers and ask
their editors to open subscription lists.
Secretary Miller has just informed me
that he has spent the day in this WORK.
He was well received everywhere and
some of the editors promised to head
+ the list on their own account. Ben
Woods of the Daily New is reported to
be good for 500; Jo Pulitzer of the
World is good for something, and per-
haps John Kelly iof the Star will be
heard from. The democratic editors and
orators shed a flood of tears over the
Hooking miners during the late cam
paign; and it will be good news if they
now show that these tears were worth
something in hard cash. 1t has been dif-
fcult to rouse the working people of New
York to action on this subject; but now
that they have taken up the business, it
is to be hoped that every city in the
country will follow the example.
