tects" American Labor.
You are supposed to be the chief bene-

your condition is alleged to be the sim

right then to demand all the advanta-
ges that you are told it can afford you.
Suppose you see whether you are get

There are. on generous estimate.
perhaps 10000 workers in protected in
dustries in California. By protected
industries we mean, of course, indus
tries the price of whose products is ar
tifcially kept up by the tariff OF
these 10000 fully 5000 are Chinese.
The people of California pay at least
$40, 900, 900 a year to protect Ameri-
can labor That means to protect
you, the 5000 white workers in the
protected Industries of California-for,
of course. the workers in other States
are supposed to be cared for by the
taxes paid by their neighbors.
Suppose the $4,000 Cinnamon aver
age $40 week apiece, their total wages
amc:,n. &c $7,SOO,O 600 a year. That
leaves S12, 200. 900 for you. or about
$500 apiece.
In ether words, the people of Cali

pay you average wages of s., 500 a year.

come out of their taxes and nothing out

higher than those of an English shoe
maker, but the former makes So pairs
OF shoes, while the latter is making 10
pairs. The economic rule is that the
higher the wages the less the cost of
labor. Why this is so may be seen
from the fact that in 1849 each opera
tive in certain Massachusetts, factory
produced 444 yards of print cloth in "a
day; in 1884 each operative in the
same factory produced 9S.2 yards a
day. This was an increase in eff
ficiency of 120 per cent. In the same
period wages increased from &c cents
to 81, about so per cent, and the labor
cost of the product decreased 80 per
cent.
It is delusion, therefore, that the
cost of labor is greater in America than
in Europe. 1t is also delusion that
the protected manufacturers pay their
working-men the bounties which they
receive by the operation of the tariff
law Ii they did what they profess to
do the wage-earners of this country
would soon become capitalists. Mr..
Mills has made an interesting calcula-
ton as to the cost of labor in certain
products and the duty charged on for
eign competing articles. A car wheel
of 500 pounds costs $13; the cost of the
labor in it is S5 cents, and the tariff
duty amounts to $3.50. The cost OF
labor in twelve-dollar suit of woolens
is 81, and the duty is Sc. 4S; in suit oil
cottons worth $1,000 the cost of labor
is $1.65 and the duty is $3.67. Mr.. w.

A BOLD Mail ROBBERY.
The Buffalo Postofice Gone Through by
Thieves and Stamping Clerk Under
Arrest for the Crime.

BUFFALO, Oct. 13-An extensive and bold
mail robbery was perpstrated during the
night by which most of the arriving mails in
this city from all points were plundered and
papers and documents and money extracted.
When the employees of Fulton market, at
Pearl and Market streets, arrived to open
the establishment for the day they found
strewn about the street in the vicinity of the
market large quantity of letters that had
evidently been opened and robbed. They
collected the torn letters, which half filled a
market basket
An examination revealed the fact that the
robbery had been general in character and
covered letters from Canada, Pennsylvania,
New York state, New Orleans, Boston and
nearly every point east, west, north and
south. There were in the basket checks,
drafts, mercantile orders and the usual mis-
cellany which goes to make up business
mail. Among other things were Louisiana
lottery tickets, There was check found in
which its amount, $3l9.90 alone remained in
tact; bank drafts; letter notifying the en-
closure of draft for 81, ,464 24 the draft being
missing, and numerous letters notifying of the
enclosure of cash.
Among the torn and soiled papers was also
found New York draft for $2t5.3O, drawn
on the Smith bank, of Perry, in favor of
Chris Klinck, of Buffalo. 1t was torn so that
the signature was indistinguishable. A
check for $44.6G from the National Bank of
Lawrence County, Pa, in favor of Jacob
Dolb, of Buffalo, was torn so that the name
of the sgner was destroyed. The thieves had
evidently disregarded everything but cash,
and checks and drafts were thrown aside
after being mutilated.
When seen later Postmaster Sackett said
the investigation showed that without doubt
the robbery took place in the postoffice, and
by some person wel acquainted with the
office Chief Inspector Dosser, at New York,
and Inspector Batchelaer, at Albany, were
telegraphed for, and the police here were set
to work ON the case The banks also were
notified to look out for suspicious characters
offering checks or drafts. Soon after the banks
opened a man named John Shields night
stamping clerk in the postofiice, presented a
check at one OF the banks, and upon the re-
quest to identify himself, establishing his con
nection with the postoffice, he was promptly
handed over to the police. Shields did not
attempt to deny the charge of robbing the
mail and is now in custody.
Shields was intoxicated when captured.
The check which he presented to the German
American bank was payable to Jacob Deld
and Shields had indorsed it with his OWL
name The police Rave not been able to get
any information from Shields as yet, but
they suspect that he had accomplices, as nC
money was found on him. Shields record i,
an unsavory one. He was appointed to the
postal service on Sept. l last, having passed
the civil service examination

PITTsBURG, Oct 13.-The marriage on
Wednesday of Miss Virginia Knox, Of this
city, to Count Carusi de Montrecoli, of Italy,
win be the theme of gossip for long time to

really married only twice, since, although
Rev. Father Graham at the cathedral was
requested to perform the ceremony again, he
declined to do 50, the count, by consenting to
the previous marriage by Protestant min
istef. having lost his claim to the services of
a priest of his owu church, or, in other
words, sihned 50 grievousy as to excommu-
nicate himself Father Graham held that be
should first have been called on, as he had no
power to wed people already married The
count was very wroth at the priests course.

MACKENZIE'S BOOK.
His Opinion of Emperor Frederick's
Sickness and Death.
HARD ON Won BERGMAN.
The English Physician Says That Had II
Not Been the UnskilIfui Treatment of
the German Doctoo Frederick
Would Have Lived Longer.

LONDON, Oct 13.-The British Medical
Journal contains a very fun abstract of Sir
Morell Mackenzie's book, which treats of the
disease and death of the late Emperor Fred
erick of Germany In defending himself
from the charges and abuse heaped upon him
by the Germans, DIR. Mackenzie complains
that he was denied access to important docu-
ments which have been at the disposal of his
assailants.
He describes the progress of the case from
the time he was called in till the emperor's
death. He denies the allegation that he de-
ceived his majesty as TO his condition, and
states that he can bring forward unimpeach-
able proof of this assertion he also denies
that he ever said the disease was not cancer.
All that he did was to point out
that that conclusion had been arrived
at on insufficient grounds, and that the
first step towards a rational diagnosis,
namely. the removal of piece of growth for
microscopic examination, had been omitted by
the German physicians This Dr. Mackenzie
was able to do and Professor Virchow gave
SO favorable report ON the fragments ex-
tracted that the proposed radical operation
was abandoned and the case handed over to
the English physician.
