The farmers see that the rapid increase OF
agricultural production here which has been
the wonder Of the world could not have occurred
without running farm-owners and degrading farm
labor, had not the still more rapid and moro
wonderful development of other industries been
encouraged by protection. But the letters urge
with great unanimity that farm as well as other
labor needs direct defence and for the same reason
For all American labor has in common the re-
sponsibilites and burdens Of citizenship TO bear.
There is no justice In forcing it to compete at any
point with the labor OF serfs slaves crofters or
coolies. The American worker rightly claims.

quiring information These are rights. Their
denial tends to undermine intelligent and self
respecting citizenship and threatens the safety Of
the Nation. The defence Of every home, against
the con nfia grafton which may destroy neighbOr's
dwelling is not more clearly duty than the
defence OF the Nations industry as whole, against
the Industrial and commercial confiagratiOns which
In modern times threaten the welfare OF many
Nations at once. AS voters we cannot insure the
wisdom Of government in England or Germany;
therefore as workers we are not bound to share
calamities which mistakes made there produce.
Recognition of this first duty Of a Nation to its
labor has caused protective tariffs to be multiplied
and strengthened until nearly all civilized Nations
strive to guard their producers against external
caamities, and even British colonies protect them
selves against Great Britain. 1t would be strange
indeed if this policy, which the splendid growth
of this country has wen other Nations to initiate.

UNCLE SAM SWINDLED,
Inferior Steel Used in Building the
Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Naval circles
have been thrown into a state of consterna-
ton by recent reports from California rela-
tive to the discovery of grave defects in the
steel intended to be used in the construction
of the cruiser Charleston, now being built
in that State. While an attempt was being
made recently to bend slightly heavy s-inch
steel deck beams several of them snapped
in pieces under the strain of the hydraulic
jack, to the great astonishment of
the construction officers The steel
was from the East, and had
been thoroughly tested according to the
severe requirements of the Steel Board,
standing successfully all of the tests as to
tension, elongation, elasticity, etc Much
of this steel has already been used in the
construction of the other cruisers and gun
boats now building, and the alarming
feature of the accident at the California
shipyard is that it casts grave doubt upon
the strength of the other material that has
already been built into ships and may fail
at critical moment.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Two Men and Horse Stunned by the
Same Bolt at Albany.

ALBANY, GA, Jan. During severe
thunder storm here this morning the stable
of Capt Ed. K. Wight was struck by light
ming. The bolt fell upon the cupola used as
a pigeon house. tearing out one side Of it
and then divided, bursting its way down
each side of the building. In the stable
a valuable sick horse was being doctored by
Capt. Wight and Drane, the groom. The
lightning struck the men and horse, throw
ing them to the floor. Capt Wight
thought at first that the stable had
been blown up by a dynamite bomb. He
was struck in the back, and huge blister
was raised with hole in the centre. The
groom's arm was paralyzed for the time
and was thought to be broken. The horse
was struck in the head and stunned. He
was considered dead, but liberal supply of
whisky rendered him conscious. Though
one side of the pigeon house was torn out,
none of the birds were hurt.

Mr.. Ryan. MIR. Holman wants to go on
the Committee on Appropriations again but
he also wants to take the chairmanship of
Public Lands and as he cannot very well
take both, he will probably stick to the

READINGS MEN WONT STRIKE.
They Declare That it Would be I'M
polite to go Out.


READING, PA, Jan. To-day an in
formal meeting of representatives from the
Knights of Labor assemblies in this city,
whose membership consists principally of
Reading railroad employees, was held here.
The situation was again fully discussed
and 1t was given out as the sentiment
of the employees that under no
circumstances would they strike, because
they considered it impolitic, and on the
ground that it would not help along the
cause of the Knights of Labor. A number
OF assemblies III neighboring towns tele-
graphed here that they would be guided by
the action of the Reading assemblies. A
quantity of freight, and 1,S00 cars of coal
passed through to-day, About eighty men
were employed here to-day and sent to Port
Richmond to take the places of the strikers.
NO CHANGE AT PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. New Years day
brought no material change in the Reading
strike, and the situation remains practically
unchanged. The weather the past twenty
four hours has been the most miserable of
the season, and those of the strikers who did
not remain at their homes passed
the day at the various headquarters
of the local assemblies to which
they belong. All of the assemblies held
meetings to-day, but only one or two were
or a formal character. Local Assembly
No. $500 initiated thirty-seven of the non
union men who took strikers places at the
Willow street wharves yesterday, and the
members felt greatly encouraged by this
acquisition to their ranks. Representatives
of other local assemblies expressed them
selves as determined to hold out to the end,
and say they are in better condition
to fight than is generally believed. The
railroad officials, on the other hand, say
that the business of the road to-day was
larger if anything than usual, and that
they have more men than they need. Trains
have been moved regularly, they say, and
the yards were kept well cleared Several
boys were arrested this afternoon for ston-
ing trains on Pennsylvania avenue and
hooting at train hands. They were all very
youthful. No other disturbances have been
reported.
To QUIT AT PoTTSVILLE.
PoTTsvILLE, PA, Jan. IA meeting of
District Assembly No. 1874, comprising all

region, was held in this city last evening.

solved that all of the employees of the Read
ing railroad within its jurisdiction quit
work Monday.

SOUTH CARoL1NA's PROGRESS.
A Splendid Showing for the Year Just
Closed

Closed.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 1.-The NelOS
and Courier will publish tomorrow a de-
tailed review of the progress of South Caro-
lima during the last year. The review
shows that the total value of the agricul-
tural, manufacturing and mineral products
of the State were over SOL coo, 600, against
S72, ,000, 900 in 1880 The increase in the
value of manufactures in the same period is
over SIS ,000, 600 or 81 per cent, and of live
stock $500, 900, or 81 per cent.
COTTON STILL KING.
Cotton still gives one-half of the States
agricultural revenue, but while the acreage
has trebled since 1870. the average yield per
acre has increased only one-third, which is
probably due to the multiplication of small
farms
In manufactures one-fourth of the whole
increase is in cotton. Lumber and
flour and other milling make up one-half
of the remainder. There are now in the
State 5000 manufacturing concerns, en-
ploying over $4,000 persons.
FRUIT CULTURE.
Fruit crops are developing rapidly, as is
also the mining of kaolin and granite. The
product of the phosphate mines has risen
from 125, 900 tons in 1880 to 432 900 last year.
The increase in railroad mileage in two
years has been twelve per cent, and more
railroads are constructing and projected
than ever before.
In conclusion the review shows that the
whole revenue of the State from agriculture,
manufactures mines and quarrles, in 1860
with slave labor, was only S54, 900, 900, as
against $l0l, 100000 i'll 1886 with free labor.
