A Fact Worth Remembering

Grover Cleveland is the only President < the United States who ever sent special message tn Congress in tine interest of the labOring men h thIs document he said.
 Il am so deeply impressed with the importance of imme iiately and thought fully meeting the problem which recent events and present condition nave thrust upon us. involving tie settlement of disputes arising between our laborlng men and their empl lyerS. that l am con strained to recommend to Congress legis- lation upon this serious and pressing sub ject
 Under our form of government the value of labor as an eleidcat of ndiltaat pros perity should De distinctly recognized and the welfare of the lao ring man should be regard sd as 9 paaiaily emitted to legislative care h country which offers to all its citizens the highest al tainment of social and political dis tinction, it's workingmen cannot justly or safely be considered as irrev cablY con signed to the limits of a class an entitled to no attention and allowed no protest against neglect.
 The laboring man, bearing in his hand an indispensable contribution to our growth and progress, may well insist, with manly courage and as right, upon the same recognition from those who make our laws as is accorded to any other citizen having valuable interest in charge: and his reasonable demands should be met in such spirit of appre- citation and fairness as t5 induce con tented and patriotic cooperation in the achievement of a grand national destiny.
 The present condition of the relations between labor and capital is far from satisfactory. The discomfort of the em' ployed is due in large degree to the gl asping and needless exactioAs of em- ployers, and the alleged discrimination in favor of capital as an object of govern mental attention.

A Great Nation on Side Track.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
 In 1860 the United States had the larg. est merchant marine of all the nations of the world. Now it has none at all worthy of mention. Then our boats crowded every sea. and our flag fluttered in every port. Now. an American vessel is a rarity, and travellers abroad have to go to our Consulales 10 see the stars and stripes.
 The loss of our marine came about through the war. bat iniauitous legislation has alone prevented its restoration in the succeeding quarter of century. Our laws are so diabolicaly arranged that we are unable to manufacture ships at home. and are not permitted to purchase them abroad.
 Take that model of Atlantic steamers. ''The City of New York upon which Mir Blaine came home She was built with money from thee United States, but she is obliged to wear Engl h colors. Tine vast sums of American capital ex pended upon her went into the packets of English laborers. and she is still an English boat subject to the use of the English Government in time of war.
 And, as our carrying trade is driven from the ocean, so is it being lost upon the land. The distance between the great markets of Europe and those of the East is so much shorter by the route across America than by the opposite one that, in certain lines of commerce, it has paid merchants to break bulk and send their cargOes through the United States. The Pacific roads. and through them, the whole people. have reaped the golden product But now, so foolish has been our treatment of commercial matters, that the great bulk of this trade is passing into the control Of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, assisted by lines of English steamers on the Atlantic and Pacific.
 So. too, our sales of domestic products in foreign markets are diminishing with alarming rapidity. Cereals, provisions and cotton have long served 10 keep the balance of trade in our favor We have furnished the supply of half the world. and the money paid to us therefor has supported four-tifths of our people. Now our foolish customs laws are forcing the great purchasing nations to seek supplies from other sources-from producers who concede some measure of reciprocity in trade.
 Such are some of the results of our continued defiance of the simplest prin ciples of trade and commerce. That in spite of this our nation has grown and prospered. is by reason of wonderful vitality which would not and could not be altogether murdered. But the great mass of our people have suffered sorely from a system which serves only to en- rich the few. The suffering increases and the peril grows A change i' imper. atively demanded. and II is the voice Of the people which demands il.

The Cruiser Boston's Gun.

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 1.- The steel cruiser Boston has not gone to South American waters for three years cruise, but for a trip of two months, returning by way of the West Indies. It is reported that the Govern ment is sending her down to Central America to take look at the Panama Canal. The Atlantic was to have done this, but the dispatch missed the ship and she came home without gett ng the Navy Departments instructions. Secretary Whitney is delighted with the new eight-inch ritled gun on the Boston. This gun is a howler and can throw a large projectile nine miles. The charge for this gun is lZ5 pounds of powder. and the Government orders it to be fired for practice five times every three months. No jewel in woman s casket is kept more beautifully bright than this gun. It is cleaned so care fully that not a speck would be left on lace handkerchief if passed through it from breech to muzzle, and nothing else than the purest glycerine is used in the automatic cleaning process. It is screwed not only true to the gun deck. but true to the orlop deck as well, for one discharge from its mighty jaws would tear a single deck all to pieces. It has an engine of it's own down in the bowels of the ship to turn it on its pivot. It stands to-day the equal, if not the superior. of any piece of naval ordnance in the world. There are other rifed guns on the Boston that have a range of six miles, three and half miles and three miles. and some little guns, worked like an old fashioned coffee mill, that make l 900 shots minute. But when the s-inch gun begins to shoot, she does not need to shoot very often, as she can make a big hole in sixteen-inch armor plating nine miles away, and the armor would probably roll up itself if the gun got any closer.

 IL is not question of party politics with which the message deals It is q subject of National import. in which all American citizens are alike interested. and all the sneers and contumely and con tempt which the Republican managers seek to throw upon the Cleveland ad minstraton in this connection will not deter the great mass of the people from supporting the President in his patriotic effort to uphold the National honor. He has shown himself on more occasions than one to be man of the Andrew Jackson type And if NIT. Cleveland is to lead the American hosts to victory in the contest which a Republican Senate forced upon the country, and in war which Republican parlisanship provoked, he will receive from the great body of the American people that sort of love and confidence winch was bestowed upon Old Hickory. and his name will be held in affectionate reverence as long as there is a Nation
