He Wanted Wages Reduced and
Hours Heightened to Foreign Stand
ards


The only record that Grover Cleveland has
on the labor question is hostile to working
men. Neither as Governor of New York nor
as President has he ever shown the slightest
interest in or sympathy with labor or labor
ing men. Two or three of his acts may be
cited.
The pilots in New York Harbor are a
brave hardy, and hard worked class of men.
Their vocation is dangerous They go far
out to sea in light sailing craft, in all kinds
of weather, to meet and pilot ocean steamers
and large vessels into harbor. The fees are
regulated BY law. Cleveland, when Gov
ernor of New York, recommended that they
be reduced. at is the duty of the Legisla-
ture in the interests of the State, to reduce
the wages of pilots in New York so that they
will not be higher than at foreign ports.
WHY should the fees of American pilots be
regulated by the foreign standard? That
was the same spirit that would reduce the
wages of American labor to the foreign
scale.
Again, when the New York Legislature
passed a bill in the interest of street car
drivers, reducing their working hours from
seventeen to twelve hours a day, Governor
Cleveland vetoed it, saying II fail to see
any good to be accomplished by the bill be-
sides, if the Legislature reduces the working
hours it ought to provide for reduction of
wages, which it has failed to do" Not much
sympathy with overworked men in that.
Twelve hours day is too much for any man
to work. day in and day out, and seventeen
hours is outrageous. Governor Cleveland
could see no good to be accomplished by the
bill. His veto was in the interest of the
company.
Again, the New York Legislature passed a
bill to reduce the fare on the New York ele
waited roads to five cents, measure plainly
in the interest of the general public, and
especially of workingmen. Governor Cleve-
land vetoed it on the ground that it was "a
violation of vested rights legal CHEST
nut" that serves when everything else fails
Mr. Cleveland is on record as absolutely
void of sympathy for workingmen.

JOHN HR1cssors sazrzDAr.
The Famous Inventor and His Method
Of Lilo.

John Ericsson entered upon his eighty
sixth year this week. But the years seem
to burden his shoulders no more than so
many feathers. He is now as vigorous as
he was twenty years ago. On Sunday
night Mr.. Ericsson worked until ii
O'Clock. went to bed at half-past II. arose
Yesterday at A. NJ. and began work again
at half-past 7. His secretary, ). W. Iay-
lor. who has known him since 1888. and
has been with him ''off and on ever since
that time, told Tribune reporter that Mr.
Ericsson had been as busy as bee during
the year. and that he had not lost an hour
through sickness or indisposition of any
kind.
John Ericsson is the most remarkable
engineer of his age now alive. He has
been at the drawing table for seventy
seven wears. and therefore made his first
efforts at mechanical drawing when Glad
stone and Bismark were infants. He has
never smoked. although his secretary SAYS
he likes the smell of good cigar. lie
does not drink. but he uses brandy occa-
sionally for medicinal purposes, and takes
about four tablespoonfuls year lie Is
fond of exercise, and daily brings his mus
cles into play by going through IL routine
of calisthenic motions. He takes daily
bath. and his hours of work, of recreation.
and of sleep are as regular as cloek-work.
He seldom goes out of doors. His house
at No. 36 Beach street, is undoubtedly one
of the best ventilated in the whole city.
1t is cool and pleasant even in the hottest
DAYS of simmer Modern houses are not
so substantial as the old building in Beach
street. and the weight of machinery on
Mr.. Ericsson's workshop floor would
break doNn any modern house.
Had that aristocratic Swedish lady mar
red him in his youth instead of rejecting
him, he probably would have remained in
his native country, and the United States
would hardly have obtained the wealth
of his intellectual powers.

Harrison and Morton Ballad.
BY WILLIAM COLLINS.

When Wars wild blast pealed through the land
And comrades all were Il, ing
To Join the glorious Union Band,
Our CouutTy's foes defying,
Twas then we marched with JOY and pride
For treason could not blind Us,
With Freedoms banner waving wide
And Copperheads behind US.
The CRY went out from every hill
And rang DER every valley,
And men came forth with desperate will
Around our flag 10 rally,
But Grover Cleveland staid away
And did not care to ind us,
His heart was with the ranks of Gray.
The Man We left behind US.
And now when Peace has come again.
And war and strife are over
We are told BY base designing men
To give our votes to Grover,
But traitors words " Ill come to naught
For Lore and Duty bind us
To give votes for those who fought.
Not those who stopped benin us
Our ranks are full as when of yore
We marched TO meet the foeman,
Our Flag waves high from shore TO shore
Nor yields nor b, nds TO no man,
We muster round it, firm and true,
And soon our friends will find us
To the White House bound with the BOYS In Blue
And Cleveland far behind us.

The Effect OF Protection on Prices

We publish to-day important statistics
showing the extent of the glass industry
in this country. This large and valuable
manufacturing interest is chiefly the child
of protection, and free trade would be its
destruction. Have the high duties on
imported glass increased the price of the
various kinds of glass to the amount of
the duties paid? Have they increased
the prices at all? The facts give the neg.
alive to both questions. Instead of in
creaSing the prices, the effect of protec-
ton has been to stimulate the production
of American glass of various kinds as to
bring down the prices by competition.
Mark the following;
How has protection affected prices?

Statistics of the Glass Industry
From The New York Press.

From The New York Press.
The manufacture of bottles and cylinder
window glass is largely developed in this
country, and the capacity of the furnaces is
equal to the total consumption of both Amer
lean and imported goods. There are lao
furnaces in ID States and Territories, manu-
featuring cylinder window glass, as follows: :
Massachusetts Indiana, 8
New York II Illinois, s
New Jersey, 2, Mi Miehisan, !
Delaware, Missouri, 2
Maryland Kansas,
West Virginia Wyoming Territory,
Ohio, 20
Green glass bottles are manufactured in
l27 furnaces, established in l6 States, viz. :
New Hampshire, Ohio, 9
New York, IL Indiana, 3
New Jersey 80 Illinois,
Pennsylvania, y Mis-. issippi ;
Maryland, Wisconsin, .
West Virginia, Minnesota,
Kentucky, 8 Colorado
Georgia, California,
Besides the above there are 60 furnaces in
which flint glass is made. These 1927 fur
naces employ about 10000 laborers. This
does not include the immense army of work
men who mine the coal and prepare the clay,
sand, lime, lumber and soda which are con-
sumed in the manufacture.
There are about $500 workmen employed
in making cylinder window glass. Belgium
is the principle competitor of the United
States in this particular branch of manufac
ture

Seven of the old houses are now occupied

There are FIVE shingle mills, running six
