A protest has been sent to Congress
against the Morrison bill bv the Ark
wright Club, which represents more than
any other association the sentiment of
New England on the tariff question.
The President and Executive Committee
of the club contend that when the reduc
tons in the cotton schedule, ranging from
80 to 55 per cent, were proposed in 1888
the cotton manufacturing interests of the
country accepted them upon the assurance
that they were to form part OF Il general
and equitable revision of the entire tariff
Upon the top of these reductions and with
out corresponding reductions in other
schedules comes a proposition to still fur
Their reduce the existing rates OF the cot
ton schedule from l6s to $50 per cent.
After nearly two years ofseriouS depression
the outlook is little brighter. With the
prospect OF still further reduction of
wages in England in the cotton industry
the outlook is favorable for an advance in
the United States unless the Morrison bill
is pushed through and becomes a law.
Here is what the Arkwright Gu says or
this point wherever operative, there
would be one of two results, either Amer
lean wages must conform to British stan
dards or the products of British looms
would take the place of American. Au-
other cut in the cotton schedule as grave
as proposed by the Morrison bill' would
be another step toward free trade, with
ree.trade wages and free-trade conditions
of living"

The Demands of Labor.

The precipitate and unregulated move
ment for shorter hours brings the country
face to face with the gravest economic and
business problems. Where the demand
is made in fair and considerable spirit.
with just regard for the mutual interests
of all concerned. it can be intelligently
debated and equitably determined. Where
it is made in arbitrary form, in defiance
of business conditions and accompanied
by strikes, it involves enormous loss and
is certain to be more injurious to the
workers than it is to the employers. Un-
fortunately the movement has taken the
most violent firm, and in this event we
cannot expect much good to come, to say
the least. AS the Philadelphia Press just
ly says, This upheaval in the labor
world comes in some respects at a most
unpropitious time. The business and IN
dustry of the country have suffered from
long period of depression. Production
has been diminished, and profits have
been reduced. But the country seemed
about to emerge from this epoch of de-
preston and enter upon new career of
prosperity. Everything should have been
done to inspire confidence and encourage
enterprise. Instead of that, this moment was
chosen, of all others, to organize gigantic
strikes, to make unreasonable demands.
to excite antagonism between the men
who work and the men VINO furnish the
means. The loss which labor itself suffers
from this interruption of business and re-
striction of enterprise is incalculable."
Employers can hardly be expected to
increase wages and decrease the length OF
the working day at the same time. but
some seem to think it not at all unreason-
able that they should, and these are the
worst and least valuable class OF workers
as is apt to be the case at such times.
There are many questions connected with
the matter that are worthy OF considera-
ton and deliberation. 1t may be that
shorter days would, ov the aid of machin
cry, give increased efficiency, but when
we face the question whether in one month
the hours of labor shall be ten, and in the
next month, eight. it comes to the plain
issue whether we shall add one fourth to
the cost of production. Such an increase
of the burden means a very serious tax
upon labor itself.

business of numbering fellow-citizens and

tile in devising new advertising schemes,
who would gladly escape their i'm
portunities, which they can do only
after they have been victimized into in
vesting in something they do not want,
which investment prevents them from doing
the regular advertising that would help them
in their business, and help the local press to
make for the city better papers. The circular
and programme business, from first to last, is
useless tax upon all who invest In it.
And when it comes to getting them before
the public it fails ninety-nine times in a
hundred, and the hundredth man is made mad
by the lmpudence of the thing. The press is
the exponent of the city's business character.
This cannot be helped. Whether the people
would have it SO OF not, it is so and cannot
be avoided. The outside public and the peo-
pie in general look to the press to form an
estimate of it's character. The daily paper
that goes into the homes Of the people whose
patronage is desired is better as an advertising
medium than all other methods combined. 1t
is a dignifed and trusted friend who gives
guaranty of the character of the men who see
fit to employ its columns to reach the reading
and buying public. The handful on the wall
catches the eye of the idler and do-nothing,
the circular or programme is regarded as an
impudent intruder, on the street or at
the home, while the daily press is the well
come guest at the family Preside, read and
treasured by ALL And in the matter of the
daily press it is an accepted fact that that
one possessing the most merit is the best
medium of advertising, for the reason that it
commands greatest respect tits like friend
whose judgment can be relied on, and who
will not give countenance to any but legiti-
mate business. Wildcat advertising is dis
grace to all who invest in it, and does harm
every time.
