justice, suggest that in his after dinner ad-
dress to sympathizing audience consisting
principally of employers, Sir Lyon was
guilty of the most glaring error of omission
and Misrepresentation.
A few hundred feet from where he was
speaking to the snug gentlemen who COM
placently applauded his aattering periods,
he could have found in the alleys of Leeds
hundreds of unemployed workmen who were
pinched for food and almost hopeless OF OBJ
tanning the labor for which they SO eagerly
sought, but who would have been objects Of
envy almost to the grimy, hopeless denizens
of Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield and
London.
A pamphlet emanating from "fair
trade" society not only, as might be ex-
pected, denies the positions taken by Sir
Lyon Playfair as FREQ trader addressing a
free trade constituency, but contradicts the
conclusion he draws from his observations in
America, and the statistics he gives as to the
earnings and necessary expenditures OF En-
glish and American workmen. The author
cites Sir Lyons statement that an English
working family of three, laboring fewer
hours than an American family OF the same
number, can save within some 97 per an
mum as much money as the latter, and shows
the apparent impossibility of such state Of
things by displayed tables Of wages. More
over, the Americans would all eat meat at
least once day, while in England perhaps
only the head Of the family would taste it
once a week.
As for the assertion that the American
laborers are riotous, continually striking and
swiftly leading the country toward the
abyss Of Socialism, it certainly does seem
as if Sir Lyon was catering to the well
known proclivities of his listeners. 1t may
be said that strikes originated in England,
and in no other Country have they ever
been so systematically conducted or
with such displays of brutality toward non
compliers
The poverty of the waterside districts of
London was greatly increased by the strikes
which drove the iron ship building industry
to the banks of the Clyde and the Tyne and
there are no more outspoken or practical
revolutionists than can be found in the large
cities of England. OF the two countries
England is by far more likely than America
to have the first serious demonstration Of
Socialism.

French omoers Undesirable in Germany

BERLIN, Dec. THE Nord Deutsche
Zeitung denies that German officers are scat
tered throughout France in the role of spies
on the doings of the French. 1t mentions
thirteen French officers who had been stay
ing in Germany on the pretense Of studying
the language, and who were expelled be-

French officers have been officially notified,
the paper says, that their presence in Ger
many is undesirable, and it hopes that in the

and in order to reach the engine tried
to get through between the belt run

by it or was struck by pieces of broken
pulleys, which were flying in all direc-
tons, and fell onto it. When found
his body was terribly mangled, the
top of his head entirely gone, legs and
arms broken and life extinct. One of
the men at work in the room overhead
was thrown entirely over the saw near
which he was working and consider
ably bruised, another was thrown up

The machinery was finally stopped by
the breaking of the steam pipe. Mr.
