FACTS FOR IRON WORKERS.

The Denver street cable road has let the
contract for its castings to an English firm.
American bidders bid very low because of
English competition. Yet two firms in
Bradford, England, underbid them. By
this the Denver road saves $4 800, but the
American workman loses it. The English
firm pays duty of 40 per cent. ad valorem
and still down their American COMPETE
tors. If the American houses came down
to the English figure-all agree ON this
they would have: o. To reduce wages.
~ Abandon profit. (3) Cease expansion
of business. Says the Chicago Inter Ocean {:
" This contract, going to England, means
the unemployment Of over 100 molders
for six months, or over 200 other en-
ployes in mining. manufacturing iron, and
fuel for the same period of time. Itmeans
the loss of over 10000 tons of fuel. The
labor item in this matter amounts, or
would do if the contract had been let here.
to over 100000 in wages to American
workingmen, not including the labor of
transportation. The 100000, in other
words, simply includes the wages for me-
chanical labor
The wages of molders in the East are
81 % per day, in England 81 25 to the
very best workmen and about 80 cents to
others Says well-informed contractor:
There is large class of work given ont here
IN quantities, such as car work and bridge work,
Inat Is made from standard patterns and in
large quantities, that the English firms can bid
on, and that they have not hitherto done so to
any eXtent may be accounted for probably.
IRON IRON their not understanding the large field
tnere Is here for such works. The same class
OF hgurlng that has secured the Denver iob to
Engllsh parties would if carried out to aiIy ex-
tent, result IN shutting up nearly half the
continuance of the present tariff
Foundries in Birmingham. Ala. claim
that they can make iron cheaper than anv
other point in the United States. and vet
its foundrymen were unable to figure
against the English loundrymen; and still.
Notwithstanding facts like these, it is
claimed by the Southern men that they
can do business proftably under a still
lower tariff than we have now.
The fact is that English iron firms are
waking up to the full realization of the
great amount of paying work they can get
from America after meeting the present
tariff rate. But every dollar sent to these
English workers means dollar taken
from some worker here, represented by
idle hours. But let the work be done here
instead of in England and the result is the
keeping of the money here, and the CON
of the good of our own.

Lessened Hours of Labor.

The hours of labor as whole have been
diminished. In the factory ten hours
have become customary in place of eleven
or even twelve; the usual hours of work
in textile factories forty or fifty years ago
having been thirteen and even fourteen.
In the building trades, nine and ten hours
have become customary in place of eleven
and twelve, or even more. In all the
great retail shops and wholesale ware
houses in which goods are distributed, the
hour Of closing is earlier and the hour of
opening is later than it used to be. The
optimist can thus find on every side facts
which sustain his view that the general
struggle for life is becoming easier and not
harder, while the statistics of the life in
surance companies prove that the duration
of life is frightening. Forty or fifty years
since, the daughters of the farmers of New
England worked thirteen hours a day in
the cotton factory in order to earn $175 a
year: to-day, French Canadians working
ten hours day, earn $500 year; yet the
cost OF labor Is less now than ever before
In broad and general way it might be
proved that Uncle Sam and his children
have obtained such power over the me-
chanism of production and distribution
dnrlng the last twenty-five years, that if
the long hours of work required thirty
years ago to produce the materials for a
narrow and poor subsistence were now APP
piled under the new conditions, the same
hours would yield at least one-third more
of all the neceSsaries of life than they did
then.-Forum

Tho Question CT This Campaign.

The Albany Journal terseIy puts the
question in these words;
The three greatest achievements for the
welfare of this Nation since it was formed
were the work of the Northern States.
The North destroyed slavery!
The North preserved the Union!
The North supported and maintained the
policy of protection
The three greatest wrongs against the
Nation ever committed in this land since
the close of the revolutionary war were
encouraged and sustained by the South.
Notification, for which the South was
ready to fight.
Slavery, for which it fought.
Secession, which cost it its slaves.
In the Constitution of the Confederate
States was this direct assault upon protec-
ton: Nor shall any duties or tqres on i'm
portatiOm from foreign nations be laid to pro
mote or foster any branch Of industry"
The question in this campaign now is
whether the policy of the North, which has
done SO much for the life, the prosperity
and the welfare of this nation shall prevail,
or whether the South, which has been de-
feated, and justly defeated, in every great
issue it has made, shall dictate what the
country's policy shall be?

THE INDUSTRIAL DEMONSTRATION

The Republican demonstrations yester-
day and last night in this city were mag
nifcent rallies. The spirit shown was SO
earnest, deep and emphatic that there can
be no mistaking the intention of the peo-
pie on Tuesday next, for they will give
California to the line of Republican States
by splendid majority. The mass meet
ings held, the thousands of strangers who
came to hear and see, the immense torch
light industrial parade, all testify to the
strength and sincerity Of the Republicans
of Central and Northern California. The
whole affair was well-conducted, and re-
flected credit upon the party and upon the
capital city. The industrial features of
the grand parade emphasized anew the
fact that the wage-earners and manufact-
nTi1g interests of the country are in per-
feet harmony with the Republican party,
and will give its sta1dard-bearer their I'M
qualified support.
Interior California has never had so large
or handsome political turnout as that of
last night, nor one that attracted so much
attention, or that spoke SO loudly and
clearly the will of the people. While the
affair was brilliant in every respect, it was
still more teaching. Locally it proved
what the Republicans CT Sacramento can
do when they try, and how ready our PEG
pie are to do political as well as social
honors in the name of the capital city of
California. In this instance the city has
gained great credit and the Republican
party much strength, and it is therefore
with pride that we look back to the whole
affair as one of the most creditable efforts
ever made in political directions in the
State

A VALUELEss EpIsPATCH.

1t is telegraphed that Judge Field is
prophesying that the Democracy will carry
California. Justice Field is in no respect
qualified to Judge in the premises. Assum-
ing the dispatch to be genuine his opinion
about the result in this State is, indeed, en-
titled to little credit, because he can know
very little about. the feeling here except
by heresay. The result on Tuesday will
prove how far out of the way Justice Field
is. The Judge talks of other matters
in the dispatch that he is not qualified to
speak about. 1t is fair to say that we be-
lieve the dispatch to be bogus, and that
Judge Field did not say what is attributed
to him.

PUT UP THE BARS.

Governor Stanford goes beyond the re-
striction of Chinese immigration, ana
asks Of what use is it to exclude cheap
labor unless we also exclude the manu-
facture of such labor? And no man can
answer the question satisfactorily who is
not protectionist. We must protect
American labor, not only by excluding
Chinese, but by a tariff barrier against
products of Chinese labor that compete
unfairly with american labor.

THE Cleveland Plaindealer recently
asked the workingman how he liked the
idea of being taxed $ll by the tariff on the
$50 worth of cotton he buys every year.
To this an Ohio workingman replies ::
Twenty dollars would by $50 yards of
good cotton. never bought half that any
year of my life. l bought ali the cotton
needed last year for Sc. Besides, cotton
goods are only one-quarter of cent yard
more here than in England, according to

ocratic Postmaster fradulently inserted in

would amount to about thirty-three cents

A New Package for Peaches.

A West street dealer, in conversation
with representative of the Commercial
Enquirer, said: "The latest device for
carrying peaches is 4 paper lined crate
We have found that it pays to handle
good peaches as carefully as we would eggs.
The new crates are made smaller than the
old-styled crates were, and the peaches
are placed in little straw board com
partments, just as eggs are packed.
Packed thus, the peaches are kept in ex-
cellent condition for very long time, and
can be sent into the mountains, over the
toughest of roads, without injury. The
new crates cost us a few cents more than
the old ones, but they hold half as many
peaches, and a crate sells as crate, whether
old style or new.

TIE HOME MARKET.

The home market for American produc-
tions is not only not fully, but is not nearly
half developed The capacity of the
United States for industrial population is
immensely in excess of the percentage of
the present population engaged in soil
production. That the Republican party
should, therefore, bend its energies to con-
serving manual labor and manufacturing,
and to enlarge, the purchasing ability OF
the wage-earners of America, is an evil
dence of the wisdom of its protective
policy.

posed over and over again to add to clauses
of the bill the proviso prohibiting the i'm

THE BRITISH MINISTER TO In AMER

Beverly, Mass,
Sept. 13, 1888.
Sir: am in receipt of your letter of
the 4th inst, and beg TO say that L
fully appreciate the difficulty in which
you find yourself in casting your vote
You are probably aware that any po-
litieal party which openly favored the
mother country at the present moment
w0uli lose popularity, and that the
party in power is fully aware of this
fact. The party, however, is, 1 be-
lieya, still DESTROYS Of maintaining
friendly relations with Great Britain,
and is still as DESTROYS Of settling all
questions with Canada, which have
been unfortunately re-0pened since the
retraetion Of the treaty by the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate, and by the
Presidents message, to which you al
lude. All allowances must, therefore,
be made for the Political situation as
regards the Presidential election thus
created. 1t is, however, impossible to
predict the Course which President
Cleveland may pursue in The matter of
retaliation, should he be elected; but
there is every reason TO believe that,
while upholding the position he has
taken, he viii manifest spirit of con-
ciiiation in dealing with the question
involved in his message. L inclOse an
article from ''The NeW-YOrk Times y
Of August 22d, and remain,
Yours faithfully,
