The trade dispatches to last weeks
Bradstreet, tells Of an increased distribu.
ton of merchandise, with distinct and
widespread tendency to higher prices in
staple goods. The facts AS telegraphed
from leading cities are almost uniformly
encouraging. From New England the
autumn business is reported in excellent
shage. From Chicago reports come that
in important branches of trade, surprise
is expressed at the ease of western and
northwestern collections, some lines re-
porting that money is coming In month
ahead of time. This ought certainly to
produce an increased demand in manu-
featuring circles, and would, were 1t not
for a combination to reduce the supply
and thus increase the price. When
manufacturing interest reaches that point
where it can combine, control the mar
ket by reducing its force, or shutting
down altogether, throwing hundreds of
people out Of employment without mo-
ment's notice, ii is time the government
should withdraw her protecting arms
from arouad that interest and compel if
to stand on its own merits in the field of
competition. Such an arrogant use of the
benefits conferred upon than by the law
Of protection is one of the crying evils of
the times; and no matter what manufac-
teriDg interest enters into combination
for the purposes named above, their
strength should be at once recognized by
Congress In the instant repeal Of that

The strike among the switchmen Of
Minneapolis and St. Pilul, that has so SEE
riously interfered with general business.
is now practically ended As usual, the
strikers have accomplished practically
nothing, and all because the counsels Of
few hot heads prevailed, rather than
the sober, conservative ones of the men
OF years and experience. Many of these
did not want to quit work, but were for
ced to do 50. The companies ought GER
tainly to hunt out, re-employ and encour-
age these conservative ones, because if
they can secure majority Of that class
of men, they will the sooner be freed
from the dominating influence of unreal
soning hotheads. Tho letter of General
Manager Miller, of tho Milwaukee road,
sent to Mayor Anes, of Minneapolis, in
response to his proclamation asking the
two parties 10 arbitrate their differences,
sets forth the difficulties in the way, in a
most forcible and cosent manner, Of arbi-
trating through the Interference of OUT
side partles-men wholly unfamilir with
the rules governing the employed, neces-
sary TO preserve that discipline SO essen
tial TO protect the interests Of the gener-
al pubic committed to their charge. The
duty the companies must discharge. as
required by law, to protect life and pro-
perry, naturally promps them to consult
their own interests by the employment
of the best men obtaniable for that pur-
pose, and to establish such rules for their
government that, if interfercd with by
uniformed parties, destroys discipline
and reduces the employed to the condi-
ton Of an unreasonlng mob. 1t is to be
hoped that some method, as effective as
that Of The locomotive engineers, may be
evolved and more amieable relations es.
tabilshed between these great corpora
tons and their employees that will be
beneficial alike TO the latter and the gem
eral public.
