NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A local protectionIst journal pub
fishes, without note or COM nlment, IN
der the heading THE Struggle for
Bread" an editorial from New York
journal giving detailed account OF
the pitable condition of the females
employed in the siik industry IN that
city.
The duty on imported silks is so and
on imported silk yarns 81 per cent.
One would suppose tbat such a heavy
duty as this would put the silk indus
try of the country on basis which
would secure for the workmen and
workwomen engaged therein wages
far above the level of those paid to
the so-called pauper labor of Europe.
In reality. according to the statements
of this article, it does not do so. Oi.
the contrary, comparing the factory
workers of Europe with the factory
workers of America, it is the latter
which now takes the unenviable rank
of pauper labor.
The wages OF the employees in one
of the largest silk factories of New
York city, employing $50 hands, it's
foreman says, range from $3 TO 81 per
week. AS the large majority of these
are girls from l3 to l8 years of age and
the wages of the latter ranging from
$3.50 to $3 per week, it is safe Io Say
that the maximum wage is paid to but
few and the minimum TO all but a
score or two of women who are virtu
ally superintendents to oversee the
work.
Stlil, this is not the worst of this
repellent exhibit of the wages paid by
this coddfed industry. The hours of
labor are SO excessive as to tend to re
49, rlrn oil tn hn
Of slaves. The working hours of these
voung girls and children are from In
The morning to at Aight, winter and
summer. Most of the employees have
to get up at $3.50 1t. M, aud do not get
home till nearly p. m. This is elev-
en- hours day or sixty six hours a
week. To be sure half holiday is
Siyen on Saturday, but for this the
moor creatures are dOcked so cents,
thus reducing the pay of majority of
the hands to the paltry pitLance of
So 80 per week.
surely after such an exhibit as this
it is time for those stalwart protection
ists who are laudipg the tariff because
it protects our wage workers fl ON the
competition of European pauper labor,
to "shut up"
Now for the comparisons. Odious
though they may be TO our nign tarlH
magnates. In the report of the cotton
trade of the world sent to Congress by
James g. Blaine, then Secretary of
State under Garfield, American Consul
Shaw reports the wages of women in
the Lancashire (England) cotton mills
to be from So 40 to $4 80 per week At
the same time he puts the hours of
labor at fifty six per week, with no
docking for Saturdays half holiday.
So that the New York women work
sixty six hours per week for So 30 to
So, while the Lancashire women work
fifry-six hours for S3 40 to 81 80.
No more signal exhibition can be
given of the utter falsity of the claim
that the tariff protects the American
ishorer from the competition of the
pauper labor of Europe than the above
com parative fguEes.-lChieago News,

They STICK TO Their Party.

The Plain Dealer of the 9th pub
Usher over three hundred interviews
with repreeen ative meA ia political
and business circles of the Democratic
a d Republican parties in different
loc ,lities of the State, In reference to
the tariff policy recommended in the
Presidents message. The interviews
were obtained in response to the fol-
lowing questions. the result of which
we copy from that paper:
l. Are you in favor of a revised
tariff?
2. Are you in favor Of free wool
and free raw material generally?
8. Are you in favor of aholishing
internal revenue on whisky and to-
bacco?
4. Do you indorse the tariff policy
suggested by the President in his mes
sage to Congress
To the first question every Democrat
and most Of the Republicans answer
in the affirmative. The sentiment
among all classes in the State appears
to be practically unanimous that there
should be speedy revision Of the
tariff.
On the Question of free wool and
| free raw materials Democrats are
,mewhat divided. Naturally those
living in the wool growing portions OF
the State oppose free wool, while, on
the other hand residents of cities and
| non growing regions favor it strongly
Aside from the wool question there ID
practical unanimity among Democrats
in favor Of free raw materials On the
other hand, Republicans generally de
clare in favor of protective tariff or
raw materials. and they are unani
mously in favor of the movement to
increase the duty on wool.
To the third question the Democrats
answer No" without an exception
Republicans are divided. A majority
advocate the repeal of the tobacco tax
but some would retain it, The greater
number also oppose the repeal of tht
whisky tax. though many are strong
ly in favor of it.
On the fourth question the answers
follow party lines closely, as might b,
expected. Democrats, with few ex
ceptions. declare their endorsement o.
the Presidents tariff policy, but soms
except free wool. Republicans gener
ally condemn it, but net few say i
contains many good points.

grand hit when he said that instead
of many scholars who are thought by
their parents 20 be hurting themselves
at hard study were in reality injuring
themselves by using tobacco or strong
drink or by keeping late hours, in.
stead of being kept at home nights
where there belong. He thought that
the Graded School system would do
away with all these evils, and many
more that he spoke of. The lecture
