material aid in the establishment OF closer trauc
relations with neghboring countries. The op-
posing arguments of Mr. Beck and othcr free
traders were all based on the exploded theory
that we cannot sell goods to South American
countries because we do not buy what they pro
duce owing to our protective tariff. Trade
statistics prove the falsty of these assertions
Last year we imported from Brazil aoout
SIS. .OOO. 600 worth Of products and exported 10
that country about $7,25O,oOO worth. Eng
land bourht about ST., 100000 less OF the
nroduct, of Brazil than we did and sold to that
copntrv about twenty-five millions more oi
EpcIish goods than we sold to it of American
yooJs In other words Brazil took the money
il cot from this country and bought cotons and
other English manufactures that we might nave
sold.
The principal reason for this unfortunate
condition Of our trade is the lack of regular
and direct steamship communication. These
and similar statistics strikingly illustrate the
need of extending 20 American steamship lines
such aid as every other great nation has eX-
tended 70 competing lines. For that purpose,
ne Mr. Brown said $4,000 is a mere baga-
telle. There is trade in South America alone
amounting to over $500, 900 at stake. We
do not have 10 per cent now of that trade. 1t
is humiliating condition of affairs. This
proposition is Il step toward relief and we trust
the House will have sufficient isdom to adopt it,

MR. L4BOUCHERE'.S LETTER.

Mr.. Laboucheres special cable letter to The
TRIBUNE furnishes a lucid explanation of
the very confused state of English politics.
Gals are against it, siding with Mr.. Chamber
lain against Mr.. Gladstone. The Home Rule
bill can be saved, if at all, only by the
patching up of a compromise between the
Prime Minister and the Radical leader. Mr..
Chamberlain insists upon ii formal captulation
before the second reading to which Mr. Glad
stone can only consent at the risk of driving
Sir William HarcOurt out of the Cabinet and
offending Mr. Morley. The Government 5
ability to command a majority on the second
reading depends upon the success of the
negotiations carried on between the friends of
these rival leaders. Mr.. Labouchere considers
it questionable whether Mr. Gladstone can get
majority in the country in the event of an i'm
mediate appeal to the constituencies.
The political managers will evidently have
something to do with the negotiations between
the Prime Minister and Mr.. Chamberlain.
and consider that defeat will stare the Liberal
party in the face if the Radical revolt be not
suppressed and Mr. Chamberlain brought baC k
into the fold. The grand caucus of the party,
which is to meet this week, will undoubtedly
make direct overtuIes for pacification. Mr.
Gladstone has already met his Radical rival
more than half way in his manifesto. 1t is
markedly democratic in tone. There is not a
Whiggish line or accent in it.

TIE MISSOURI PACIFIC STRIKE.

TIE MISSOURI PICIfIC STRIhE.
The KNIGHTS of Labor have ~ last declared
the Missouri Pacific strike at an end. In all the
history of labor controversies, perhaps thele
never was another strike II ore unreasonable IN
its inception or more unwise in It's conduct III
besan in order to coercc the Texas Pacific Kali
way. An unfaithful and turbulent man had
been discharged because he had dsrcgarded
rules. Doubtless the officials were glad to get
rid of him. since he had long been engaged in
fomenting trouble. The Knights of Labor de-
manded his restoration. and when the demand
WAS refused they attempted to block all traffic
on the Texas Pacific, road in the hands of a
United States court. The attempt miserably
failed. Then, in the hope that the reputed
owners would be coerced because they were also
chief owners of the Missouri Pacific, a strike
was ordered on the whole Missouri Pacific
system until the discharged man should be
taken back by the Texas Pacific. In vain the
Missouri Pacific represented that it could not
control another corporation, as that other
CORPORATION itself could not control its own
property then in the hands of a receiver. Men
of the Martin Irons stamp were bound to " show
the power of the Knights of Labor" and they
have shown it even more completely than they
desired.
The conduct of this strike has been
dis graceful to the organization. Blood and
lawlessness have marked its progress In
every State Several officers of the law have
been shot down in the discharge of their duty.
Thousands of innocent and industrious men and
women have been deprived of livelihood, while
the strikers terrorized over a great territory.
The business of many cities has been pros
trated. The workers engaged have suffered
heavy losses, for no other end than to test the
power of an organization. Bad their losses for
"A single week been paid over bodily to the one
man about whom all this fuss was made they
would have kept hin for lifetime in idleness.
1t IS fitting that this strike, unreasonable and
so shameful in its disregard of the tights of
labor and the interests of society, should end in
the complete overthrow and disgrace of the
local organizations responsible for it.
| But the incapacity in the Executive Commit
tee of the Knights of Labor has made the
struggle broader in its influence. When Mr..
Powdery had ordered the strike stopped had
the Executive Committee carried out that
order the National organization would have
been strengthened by the good sense shown
even if the local organizations had been dis
| banded. But the Executive Committee was in
| part composed of men who sympathized with
| Irons and his lawless crew, and in part of men
| who had not pluck TO manage a great under
| taking. The consequence is that the strike was
assumed by the National organization, which
necessarily suffers by its failure, to what extent
no one can now determine.

4 VICTORY FOR AMERICAN SHIPS

| a bICIOL1 run AuLAlCd IN EHIIG
| The friends of American ships won sub
stantal victory in the Senate yesterday in the
vote on the Post Office Appropriation bill. The
amendment to appropriate $500, 900 to pay for
carrying the mails in American ships to Central
and South America, Australia and some Other
countries was adopted by vote of 80 yeas to
| Is nays. The vote a somewhat smilor
amendment last year was 80 yeas to Is nays.
The result of the war begun on American ships
by the present Administration has been nearly
to double the majority ia the Senate in favor of
| extending aid 10 them. Last year four Demo-
cratic Senators voted for such an appropriation.
This year an amendment appropriatng an
annual sum twice as large and extending it for
period of at least five years receives the votes
of eight Democratic Senators. This is poor
comfort for an Administration which began its
work of 1RefOrm" by discriminating against
American ships and nullifying an act of Con-
gress.
As the bill which passed the Senate yesterday
contains mandatory clause, should it become
law Mr.. Villas will hardly dare to repeat his
notification feat. The only sound objection
presented to the amendment in the course of
the debate was that offered by Mr. Brown, of
Georgia, that the amount appropriated was too
small. Still it makes beginning, and if wisely
exnended will no doubt result in giving
