BLAINE'S CONFESSION.

On the question OF the relative merits Of
the British and American workin ,nan,
their capacity for work and the outcome OF
their work in manufactured goods, we
have the testimony Of the arch Protection
list, Blaine, himself. While Secretary OF
State, in transmitting some Consular re-
ports TO Congress in 1881, Mr.. Blaine said,
in an Introductory letter, that "undoubt-
edly the inequality in the wages of English
and American operatives is more than
equalized by the greater efficiency Of the
latter, and their longer hours OF labor"
To prove that assertion Mr.. Blaine said;
From these returns lr1icrrlng to certain English
olrial reports IL Is seen that every American spin.
die consumes sixty six pounds OF raw cotton,
while each British spindle consumes only thirty.
two pounds, or less than nc.half the American
consumption per spindle. II thus appears that
each American operative works up as much raw
material rs two British operatives turns ont nearly
tljJ worth Of manufactures 10 the British opera
tiycs 81 worth, aud even In piece goods, where the
superior quality aud weight Of the American
goods are ~ Marked the American opcmliy,
turns out 30 yards to 40 ynrds by the Brtlsh op
emtiyc.
And thus, by his superiority, his intelli
genco and his steadinoss during sixty
working hours week the American mill
hand is able TO make many moro yards o.
cloth than the British workingman during
his working week Of forty-nine hours and
in that way quite earns the difference in
wages which is thus made more apparent
than real.

ISDIASAroiIs, Ind, Aug. THE State
Federation OF Trade and Labor unions OF
Indiana, at its fourth annual session in
this city today, reelected Emil Levy, OF
Evansville, president, and John =. Hanna,
OF Lafayette, secretary and treasurer. The
delegates present took action regarding the
political issues Of the day and adopted n
series OF resolutions condomning the policy
OF legislation since 1861, with reference
to the bonded debt OF the nation;
opposing all laws which tend to
transfer the burdens OF excessive taxation

declaring they cannot support the candi.

The sessions OF the federation were held
with closed doors, aud Il Is charged openly
that some thiriy-fyc or forty accredited
delegates known 20 bc Republicans were
refused admission into the hall. Tho
greatest difficulty is encountered in asccr-
tanning how many accredited dele.
gates were present and particle
patcd In the session. From Dem.
ocratic sources Il Is asserted that there
were 23j delegates present, while from
Republican sources II is claimed only
sixly.iiyo delegates participated In the
adoption Of the political resolutions, and
two OF thcse-onc q Grccnback and the
other Republican were opposed 10

Michigan Republican Convention.

DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 7.-Comparatively
few Republicans have arrived here thus
far TO attend the State convention, which
will he held tomorrow afternoon. To all APP
pearances, JOY and harmony will prevail in
the convention. The opposition to Gov.
Luce has entirely disappeared, and the
whole ticket has already been
decided upon. All the present
incumbents will be renominatcd, except
ing, probably, Attorncy.ieneral Tacgart,
who has had second term. Among the
numerous candidates for the position, 5.
V. Trowbridgc, OF Iona, and Senator Ed
wards, OF New lago, are mentioned. o. g..
Grosyenor, Of Jonesvillc, will certainly get
the nomination.
At u preliminary meeting held tonight
Maj. Watkins was made chairman OF the
convention. There will probably be a
change in the Craftsmanship OF the State
central committee now held by Maj. Wat
kins and, in spite OF James McAIil-
lans unwillingness TO accept, II is
more than probable that he will
be worked into the place, as the
pressure for Mcmillan is very strong. The
convention will get through with its pre-
liminary work by tomorrow evening, after
which ratification meeting will be held
at the Detroit rink, which will be presided
over by Col. John A. Atkinson, Gen.
Alger, Gov Luce, Robt. Frazer, and
others will speak. The State ticket will be
nominated on Thursday.

Tux first international tuberculosis Con.
gress has just adjourned at Paris. It was
an important gathering, and resulted
in most satisfactory evidence that con.
sumption is transmissible by the spu,a,
and is often transmitted by milk and beef.
Against this, the doctors say, the only safe.
guard consists in crcmating the cxpec
torations and boiling milk and cooking
beef until II is very we'll done. They arc
generally agreed that there is no known
cure for the dreaded disease. Climate,
food and medicine accomplish wonders
some times, and encouraging results have
been accomplished by Vargas and others,
OF Madrid, by the actual removal OF the
diseased parts Of the lungs. "The lungs
are laid open, the inlcrcostal muscles re.
moved, the diseased parts carefully taken
out, the cavities remaining filed with pro
pared spongcs, rcscction performed, and
the patient, in many cases, RECEIVERS and
lives out his life, with no further indica.
