mistake to think that malt liquors
are less injurious than brandy or whis

hOlic strength is made up by drinking
a larger quantity. While the drinker
would be content With a gill of spir.

he will drink more alcohol than if be

Who Gets the Better Wages ?"

The free trade journals of the
country have about abandoned the
claim that American wages are as low
as foreign wages. The claim was so
absurd and ridiculous, and was so cas-.
lily disproved, that they found it did
more harm than good to their cause.
So now the most of them have aban.
doned it, and they have const ructed
upon its grave, as it were, this prcpo
sitfoss:,
"The truth is that American labor
is just as cheap as any other labor on
the earth. The better wages paid is
only the result of larger produc ctiyity."
Philadelphia Record.
Larger productivity" is good. At
the same time, without discussing the
meaning of "larger productivity"
which is certainly elastic enough to
supply avenues of escape for the wild
est FREQ trade dreamer, the American
workingman will continue to congrat.
ulate himself upon the fact thus ad
mitted by his free trade prosecutor
that he is paid "better wages" than
any other laborer on earth. This i:
about all he cares for. If he gets So
where the foreign laborer gets 81, il
matters little to him what the cause
may be. "Larger productivity" what
ever that may mean, may be the cause
oft. If it is he will give three cheer
for Captain Larger Productivity. A
the same time he will take good car
to vote against the party that woult
stop Larger Productivity"
But the shift 10 position that is her
attempted is dishonest. Free trad
journals that have persisted for man,
years in the most outrageous lyinI
with respect to the wages of America
and foreign labor, cannot now condor
their past sins by this admission. Tha
they were lying, the thousands Of EN-
igrants that were daily crowding ou
shores testified, aud confession now
only an aggravation Of their offens,
because they do it solely that the
may start a new aud more plausibl
lie, and one more difficult to refut,
Ananias remains; he has simpl
changed his coat. 1t will be we'll f
the American Proteetionist to keep q
eye on the "larger productivity" a
gument of the free traders, in the al
proaehing campaign.-Harrisburg II

 In a letter addressed to Senator Stewart (who has introduced bill to amend the laws relating to the loca- ton and ownership of mining claims winch we referred to several weeks ago. a party who snbscrlbes himself "A Prospectsr (for 25 years)" makes some suggestions worthy of eonsidera- ton. He says the clause in Stewards bill making it illegal for the holder of mining claim to relocate it in order to -ade doing assessment work, is in adequate since he could easily relocate in the nane of a friend. The writer would have a clause substituted pro- viding that no record of mining claim shall be valid until $l00 worth of work has been done upon or beside its outcrop, and if such work is not completed within sixty days from date of discovery or location, the ground shall be subject to relocation. Pros pector" says If man believes lode valuable, he will do the work required by an enactment as above suggested. ,
 He does not think the other propo- sal of Senator Stewart, to limit To. cator's right on lode to one claim, wise, since good policy is to encour- age exploration, and one claim m a new district is not sufficient to do that. He believes that a locator should be allowed to take up as many claims on q lode as he is able and wiling to do the required work upon. He might sneceed in selling one or more loca- tions and thereby get money to devel- op another, and thus start new in dustrial center, as was done by the diseoyerers of Tombstone, Arizona, when they sold the Contention claim. Senator Stewards second amendment, is objected to further, because 1t would increase costly and ruinous litigation

 Wretched men aud women long con demned to suffer the tortures of dyspep- sa, are tiled with new hope after few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
 This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is per sisted in. It brings reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek it's aid. Flatulence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nervous tre- mers and insomnia of which chronic in- digestion is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most benifeent of stomachics who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful elo. quence in those who, benefited by it, speak voluntarily in it's behalf It re- quires graphic pen to describe the tor menus of dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the proprietor of the Bitters, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness. Constipation, bil. iousness, muscular debility, malaria feyers and rheumatism are relieved by it.

The emancipation of women, says the London Standard, is about to make another step forward It has been suggested that on marriage the wife should decline to take the husbands name, but how will it work when the eonjugal union blesses man and wife with cherubs. How will Miss Matilda Hartwell explain to strangers that be- ing Miss she has SO many children without deeply diving into the sub- ject of the emancipation of women? But the world is slow to take in ec- centric novelties and until Miss Hart well became used to the situation, it would be embarrassing to simply say she was the mother of Mr. John John sons children. She, however, might explain the awkward situation by ex- hiblting the wedding ring and certif- cate of marriage containing the joint names, and rlght hands elasped, of John Johnson and Aatilda Hartwell, and two hearts transGxed by cupid's arrow. The naming of the children, should they have an odd one, might engender family quarrel; otherwise domestic jars might be avoided. For instance, if there were twelve children the patronymic of the respective pal ents plight be equally giyen-say six Hartwells and six Johnsons-but if there was cue more, the difficulty oi naming it Hartwell or Johnson would arlse. Then how would tue objection be oyerceme-by giving It the name of some dear friend, or hy killing it?

HE STRIKING ENGINEERS.


 The strike now in progress on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail road presents no new points Of con test between capital and labor. If, as the Brotherhood of Engineers assert, the railroad company paid some en- gi4eers less than others for perform ing exactly the same service, then they had cause for complaint, and no one would deny them the use of every le- gitimate means to exact from the (. B. < Q. Railroad more equable rates of wages, and their right to quit work IS unquestioned, One of the blessings enjoyed under the laws of the United States is perfect freedom of action by the individual so long as he does not in any way interfere with the liberty CT rights of others. It is the privilege of the employs to refuse work where the compensation is deemed inade- quate, but when he attempts to pre-. vent others from accepting work, either by persuasion or threats, he is then inimical to the law and should be dealt with the same as any other offender,
 The weak point of the strike as a means of abating the grievances, fan cied or real, of labor is that success, by passive measures, is almost impossible, aad consequently unlawful methods are resortsd to which, even if success ful in crippling business or industry and compelling employers to acceed to the demands made, are disastrous to the cause of labor, as the sympathy of the people IS lost, and success of each succeeding strike rendered more difficult of attainment,
 PM. Arthur, chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, has long posed as the level, headed, eonser- yatlve leader of skilled labor in the United States, but it is evident that newspapers and individuals who have bestowed unqualified praise upon him, were not acquainted with his record.
 Arthur succeeded Tn 1873, as head of tue Brotherhood, Wilson, very conservative man firmly opposed to strikes. Arthur changed the policy oi the order, and at once began a series of strikes on New England roads most of which, being novelties to the roads and the public, were successful, The most atrocious of Arthur's strikes wa: on the Grand Trunk Line in the mdst of a Canadian winter, when the ground was covered with snow sne ice. Trains filled with women anC children were abandoned on the track far from any habitation, entaihne much suffering, and men sent to taks the places of the strikers were mobbel and dilYen oil.
 These repeated inhuman acts rouset the companies to resistance, and los the Brotherhood the sympathy of tn, public. The success winch had at tended the early strikes inaugurateC by tie Brotherhood was soon turned to defeat and the funds of the ordel were exhausted in supporting mem bers who had been induced to strike Arthur awoke to his mistake, reverse, his policy and proclaimed against tn strike, and has ever since counsele, conelliaton until the present difiicul ty with the c. B. & Q. Company whicl is likely to prove disastrous to tn Brotherhood.
