The Blight OF the Present Adm,nistra-

To note the distress that is on the in
crease among large classes of the work
ing people. the reduction of wages, the
strikes, and the blight that has fallen
upon many of the industries, all of
which have either occurred or been az :
gravated since the inauguration of the
Republican President, is far from being
a pleasant duty for the journalist.
These occurrences al made themore no.
ticeable from the fact that better wages
and better times were promised as the
attendants of the election Of Harrison
and the maintenance of the high tariff
policy.
To the long list of industrial troubles
and disasters which we have already
mentioned as coming in the train of
the new administration, we must add
the following:
Strikes ami riots against reduction
of pay among the coal miners at Braid
wood, La.
A committee of Clay county (Ind.)

struck against fifteen cent reduction.

striking against q reduction OF wages.
Carnegie & Co.'s Steel Works at
Pittsburg reducing the wages Of over
| 1000 work men 20 per cent.
These are the realities Of system
which protects limited money class
and oppresses the great mass Of labor
ers whose wages are decreased by the
same agency that increases the cost OF
their living. The unrealities were the
