LoNnoN, August 22.-The council of the
Trades Union has issued statement Civ
ing the points Of the trades proposed sp-
peal to the new electorate. These points
are! Reform of the factory and Workshop
acts, representation OF labor in Parlia-

protection in the mines, the issuing of
certificates OF competency to men who
have charge of steam engines and boilers,
and the appointment OF skilled inspectors,
the codificatiSns OF the laws and land law
resox1is. The manifesto declares that in
the coni3g election The workingmen vii:
have il Ia their power to determine the
future policy of England, and that
it is important, therefore, that the
desires of the organized trades should
find authoritative expression. The Sand
ard, commenting upon the manifesto, says
there is nothing in the programme which
the Conservatives cannot accept. The
Standard thinks it is not at all certain that
the working Classes are about to increase
their electoral power. On the contrary, it
says, the addition of 100000 voters will
drain the country of its laborers, and may
seriously affect the political power of the
artisans,
