Brushes are made at Lansingburgh, New
York. In the brush factories there prior to
1883 there were 1000 workmen and q capital
of 5000, 900 employed, and with the reduction
fallen to 600 men and $3.50. 600 respectively,
and one-third of the year the factories are
idle. The employers have had hard work to
maintain wages at the American standard
and keep their goods in the market in the
face of the competition from abroad ever
since the 25 per cent. cut in the tariff duty on
brushes in 1883, and when the Mills bill was
lower the duty one-third from the present
rate they came to the conclusion that it was
time to take decided action if they would save
their industry at all. After consultation one
of their number, who was and is Democrat,
handed the chairman of his party's State
committee petition signed by every person
in the business and similar petition signed
by nearly all the brushmakers of New York,
asking that the duty should be left as it is
These petitions were delivered, they say, to
the member of congress from that district,
who made unavailing efforts to have the Mills
committee act favorably upon them.
This performance did not satisfy the petit
sioners. They do not feel that they can sup
port party which Is hostile to their inter-
ests. They therefore say: We see no other
line of action to recommend than to oppose
with might and main the reelection for Pres
ident of the present incumbent, , who, although
from New York State, heads the hostile forces
operating against our industry under the pre-
text of reducing the surplus in the United
States treasury, when it Is evident that it
would make directly to that end and greatly
benefit the country, too, by advancing instead
of reducing the tariff rate upon foreign brush
es so as to adequately protect our home in
dustry in this branch of manufactures and
thus retain our home market for our people
instead of surrendering 1t to foreigners.
This is plain enough and very much to the
point. There are many besides the brush
makers who cannot afford to support Cleve-

The motive force of the world, as officially
summarized by the bureau of statistics, Ber-
lin, presents some remarkable facts, together
with the interesting general statement that
four-6fths of the engines now working in
the world have been constructed during the
last twenty-five years. In round numbers
France has 50, 600 stationary or portable boil
ers, 600 locomotives, and 1890 boats boil
ers, Germany has SO, 600 boilers, 900 To-
oomotives and 1 ZOO ships boilers; Austria
Il, 600 boilers and 1880 locomotives. The
force equivalent to the working steam en-
gines represents, in the United States 2, $780,
900 horse power, 4,50O, 600 in Germany,
5000, 900 in France and 1, SOC, 900 in Austria.
In these enumerations the motive power of
the locomotives is not included, whose num-
Der in all the world amounts to 105, 900,
representing total of 8, 3,000, 600 horse power,
which amount, added to the other powers,
gives total of 48. .000, 900 horse power. AS
a steam horse power is equal to seven men,
the steam engines of the world may be said
to represent, therefore, approximately, the
work of / ZOO, ,000, 900 men.
