On the "Installment Plan."


Everything in this city goes on the INSTALL
ment plan, especially among certain classes,
not necessarily the poorer ones, by the way.
Some time ago friend of mine was showing
me a fine gold watch, worth at least 800,
which he had recently purchased. had not
heard of his falling heir to any property or
having any luck in the L. s. L., and looked a
bit surprised. "Ill tell you how it is" he
said. II am buying this on the installment
plan. paid $40 spot cash and the balance in
payments of 50 per week. Yes, it will take
forty weeks to buy the watch; but, then,
have the watch during that time, and every
one supposes own it." And found that
many of the young men are doing the same
way.
But heard of an instance where a young
man had bought his engagement ring on the
installment plan. He is getting $3.50 per
week, and has always managed to wear good
clothes, and had one OF the prettiest little
girls on the East Side for company. Atlength
they became engaged, and she exhibited the
ring to some friends, and among them was
an expert in jewelry who told me the story.
81 could not imagine" he said, show that
young fellow could afford so expensive jew
elry, but found out. The ring cost s1S and
he paid So down, and is now paying twenty
five cents a week. Only think of it 1t will
take sixty weeks to pay for the ring"

is of less Importance than last, since no mayor
is to be chosen. Still there are important
Offices to be filled. First in the list are those
of County Clerk and Register, and then como
the Offices Of Controller, City Auditor and
County Treasurer. There are indications
that the Democratic nominations for some OF
these will be given to men OF the same class
as that Of the man who was so disastrousiy oe-
feated for Sheriff year ago. Ii So IL IS the
imperative duty of the Republican party to see
that they meet the same fate. 1t is high time
that an end should be put to the domination OF
the ring and the gang"
As for the other offices to be filled this fall,
the most important are those of Congressman.
The Hid District is Republican in any circum-
stances, and as Mr.. White has declined to run
again the duty of selecting his successor needs
to be performed Still more interesting will
be the contest in the With District, which has
long been represented by A. NJ. Bliss. Since
Mr.. Bliss vote against the Mills bill it has
been felt that his doom was sealed so far as
the regular Democratic nomination Is con-
cerned 1t is not unlikely, however, that II
the nomination Is refused him he VIII run as
an independent candidate. His plurality two
years ago was very narrow, and the chance of
eecting a Republican in that district is ex-
ceedingly good.
1t is of supreme importance that all the Re-
publican nominations this year should be
such as to strengthen both the National and
the State ticket. The Administrators manip-
ulation of the Navy Yard alone has been SUI
Gcient to detach from the Democratic party
every one of the men who supported Cleveland
four years ago on the ground that he would be
a reformer Governor Hills veto OF bill so
clearly in the public interest as the bill which
put an end.to the infamous electric light mo-
nopoly in Brooklyn should have opened the eyes
of all men to the fact that he favors fosters
and protects dishonesty everywhere. The plu-
rality of President Cleveland in Kings County
was 49, 74S; in Brooklyn alone it was 14,339.
Mr. Hill, in 1885, only obtained plurality
of 80 80 in the city and of 9,ll9 in the whole
county. Mayor Chapin's plurality was beg
carly $50. These are interesting figures.
They show the possibilities of Brooklyn from
political point of view. They convey les
sons of the highest value to the Republicans
of that city. The vote of Brooklyn has on more
than one occasion been sufficient to decide a
State or a National election. These lessons
ought not to be lost sight of or overlooked for
a moment. Strong and judicious local NOM
nations can do much for the general tickets

adjustments so reporting in all parts OF the
country, in any branch Of industry, correctly
measures the difference in rate OF wages PAID
in that industry. Then the number OF hands
in each industry in 1880 being known, it can
be recLoned how the sum which that number
would have earned at the average wages in
1860 compares with the sum which that num-
Der would have earned at the average wages
in 1880, and thus the relative Importance OF
the different industries in number Of hands EN-
ployed can be taken into account.
BY this method more correct comparison of
wages at different periods than has ever been
made hitherto is based upon precisely the same
official evidence for both dates drawn from the
books of precisely the same manufacturing es-
Establishments, and covering the wages Of pre-
cisely the same kinds Of workers. This COM
parison proves that the advance in American
wages from 1860 to 1880, in manufacturing,
mechanical and mining industries, was more
than double the rate of increase in British
wages, as reported by Professor Levi.

THE BROORLYN OPPORTUNITY.

The campaign in Brooklyn is to be formally
opened tonight with a speech by Warner
Miller in the Palace Rink. 1t is in order,
therefore, to glance at the political situation
in our neighboring city and observe the oppor-
tunities set before the Republicans there and
the prospects offered them if they make wise
nominations and prosecute sufficiently Wig
orous canvass.
The result of the last campaign was such as
TO give our party friends marked degree of
encouragement. In spite of the long-estab-
lished dominance of the Democratic party in
Brooklyn, they succeeded in cutting down the
plurality of its candidate for Mayor, although
he was personally a gentleman Of high char
acter, to tho trifling figure Of 8S2. More than
that, "Boss' Mclaughlin having nominated
for Sheriff man long prominent in the ring
that disgraccs Brooklyn, he was overwhelm-
ingly defeated. These things show what the
Republicans and the better element in the other
party can do when thoroughly aroused and
really In earnest. The local contest this year

A suggestive contrast is drawn on another
mage between the characters and careers of the
Republican and Democratic candidates for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Miller is man Of the people, far
miliar with their needs and aspirations, manu-
facturer and employer of labor. who has worked
his way up from the ranks, and withal high
minded gentleman, whose course in public life
has been as honorable as it has been useful.
