great London strike Il genuine boomer

dOsh- Here are large number q Eng
fish lsborers engaged in the hardest kind
Of work, who have for year, been receiv-
ing less than dollar for ten hoaFs toll.
Their modest demand for six pence an
hour means something less than dollar
and twenty cents per. day. How have
men, who have received such meagre re-
Immigration for their work, been enabled to
live and support families? 1t IL prob
lem hard for Americans to solve. The
crusade Of these men is against the grim
wolf starvation that has always. with the
old wages, been at their doors. II
Is struggle for subsistence itself.
The working,nen Of this country will not
fail Ia this struggle to see the great adj
vantages which they enjoy over their
English cousins. They will note the
fact that while the New York dockmen
in 1882 were working for seventeen cents
an hour and struck for twenty, the Lon
don workmen work for nine and ten cents
and ask for the privilege Of twelve cents
an hour. These facts speak TO our work
ingmen with DE- eided emphasis and when
again the Free Trader endeavors TO win
them to his sophistries he will he repelled
with even greater decision than he has
been In the past. The indications now
are that the Tendon strike will as

Oaly the dock workmen. but
thousands Of people In o her employments
Thus far the strikers have conducted
themselves in a most ORDERLY manner, but
should the strike become general. a. is
feared, it il quite probable that some Of
the most turbulent scenes which the great
English city has ever seen would ensue.
The police force is known to sympathize
strongly with the strikers. Should riots
occur it is exceedingly doubtful II they
,uld be depended upon TO quell them.
In such an event the troops would have to
be called out, and the result Of such pro-
ceeding is not pleasant to think OF. The
sympathy that Is felt with the strikers Il
spontaneous and widespread. 1t is con-

from all quarters.
Canon Liddon of st. Pauls has sub

Build up American Ship Yards.

The Chamber Of Commerce Convention
recently held in San Francisco considered
proposal to admit, duty free, ships
which have been bought by Americans
from foreigners. After an animated dis
cussion the motion was defeated by an
overwhelming vote. This proposal has
long been favorlte one with certain Free
Trade sophists. Instead of adopting n
policy that will develop ship-yards in our
country able to compete with any In the
world, these men would have the United
States give up all idea Of building ships,
and permit the ship-yards of Europe to
do all this class of work for us
A prominent Free Trade organ
expatiatisg upon the fine idea of having
England build our ships for US, says:
'lu short time the American flag
would float over a majority Of the steam
ships between this country and England,
and In case OF war great flotilla would
he at our disposal as transports and
armed cruisers
Could anything be more unpatriotic
than this. Here Is newspaper which
claims to be American coolly ad-
vocating the building up Of a
vast industry In n foreign country at
the expense OF that same industry In our
own country. And the argument sd-
vanced in support Of this is that in case
OF war We should have at our disposal
"a great hctills Of transports and armed
cruisers" Could anything be narrower
than this. Adopt liberal and far-seeing
measures for building up great ship-yards
In this country, and the United States will
not have to depend upon foreign built
ships TO give her aiotiiis" in case Of
war. Our own energetic, ingenious, hust-
ling, American mechanics would soon
furnish US just Is many transports and
armed cruisers" as we should need. They
would be American from stem to stern,
the money for them would go into
the pockets Of American workmen,
and build up American commu-
mites. The United States would not be
at all dependent upon any foreign power,
aud would be amply able to meet any Of
them. Ies - away with this narrow un-
patriotic cry Of Free Ships, which. being
Interpreted, means English.ships. Let us
have American ships. built In American
yards, BY American workmen. Let us
adopt policy that will build up this
great industry In our own country, and
We may Be- sure that We will speedily re
gain our fsrmer ocean prestige.
