ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL.
The Striking Weavcrs Give in and Return
to Their Looms.

FALLS RIVER, Mass, March 21-Thc
weavers' strike is over and tomorrow morn
ing it i expected, as far as the weavers are
concerned, that every loom in the city will
be i'll operation. The decision of the mass
meeting this morning seems to be generally
considered as satisfactory, though it was
surprise to everybody. as the execu-
tive committee had kept their intentions
very secret. Up to noon yesterday the
committee was hopeful of rcmittancCs from
out towns but they failed to arrive. Then
came Il wholly unexpected rush of appli-
cants for aid The relief fund, which
at noon, numbered several hundr ii
dollars was quickly reduced when the execll-
tive officers announced that no more relief
would be granted that day \ secret meet
ing was held and a committee appointed to
wait on Rev John Brown Of Westminster
Presbyterian church and ask his advice and
cooperation. The clergyman counseIled the
raising of the strike and the committee adj
Vsed the men to return to work uIdcr pro-
test while they submitted their case to the
State board of arbitration. The mass meet
ing was not at first inclined to accept the
recommendation, but after explanations by
Rev. Mr.. Brown and members of the oX-
ccutive committee it was agreed to return
TO work tomorrow. Business men received
the news with satisfaction and the manu-
facturers were agreeably surprised. 1t is
generally conceded that the action of the
executive committee was good strategically,
as by giving in now, while they still have
public sympathy, they will be in a position
to make a further move later. At the be
ginning of the strike the loom flXers of BOr-
der city mills were discharged for refusing
to run looms and this afternoon the WcaVcrS

sHEA1HED OR UNsHEATHED SHIPS.
Naval Constructor Hichborn has written n
paper on "Sheathed or Unsheathed Ships. y
that is attracting a great deal OF attention
from navy officers. He advances strong ar
guments against the present method of con-
structing the bottoms of steel naval vessels.
| and urges upon congress the necessity, if
| these ships are to be made lasting and
effective, Of shcathing their bottoms with
wood, covered with copper He calls atten-
| ton to some remarkable effects of the action
of salt water upon iron and steel, which de-
| tract much from the efficiency of unsheathcd
vessels, and through rapid fouling interferes
with their speed. Chief Constructor Wilson
and other naval officers have long argued in
favor of sheathing steel vessels, but have
been overruled by congress on the question of
cost. The subject will undoubtedly come up
for decision when the next appropriation bill
is before congress.

FREE TRADE AND FARM LANDS.
DR.. Hamlin's Reply to an English Free
Trader-Nermont Lands worth More
than Farms on the Thames.


den club, with all English and American
free traders. having met with most melan-
cholv defeat are now planning for another
campaign. The old slave States are so
completely theirs that they can have moth
ng to gain there, and possibly may meet
with loss Their last hope is with tho
farmers of the free States. The tracts to
farmers, issued bv the Golden club Of Eng
land must be newly vamped and under new
names circulated over all the land. What
has been the effect of free trade on the
farmers of England? More than 40 years of
free trade have blessed the United Kingdom
of England. ireland and Scotland. Alum
dant time has been enjoyed to correct errors.
to remedy any defects and TO show to the
world the blessed effects Of the British policy
upon farming interests.
First of ALL the free traders in trying to
defend their theory against the charge made
at home of destroying English agriculture
do. unwillingly, admit its truth. At the
last annual meeting of the Golden club,
july 21. 1888, the chief speaker c. W.
Medley, esq. took for his vaticination,
The Triumph of Free Traden He makes
however. some unfortunate admissions.
One is that England is the only free trade
country after 40 years of argument and
demonstration. His prophecy of triumph is
reduced to the problem 'If England has
not gained over one power in 40 years how
long will it take to gain over the world -
Mr. Medley's triumph" seems 10 be far
ther Off than the millennium. But he must
show that free trade is good for agriculture
He does not make such proposition but
only that ''Other countries are as badly Off
as we are in agricultural matters. Even in
the United States agriculture, as regards
the cultivation of wheat at all events, is in a
bad way second bad sign for us is
that Illinois farmers are mortaaging their
farms and the importation OF eggs is cnor-
mously increasing! And the "Protection-
lists in the United States are in panic, it
having been discovered that dear clothes and
cheap whiskcy are rotten planks in the fiscal
platform of a great partv."
He has noticed one fact evidently, that
our slight dminution of wheat is counter
balanced many times by the marvellous pro
duction of ,, 600, 600, 000 bushels of corn, for
he speaks slightingly of its value to English
men
After all he only contends that ''the out
look for our agriculture is by no means
hopeless. There are faint signs Of revival
even here 1t is too much to say that the
corner is turned. but there can be no doubt
it is being neared'
If this is the best that an ardent free trad
er can say of British agriculture We must
differ from his assertion that i, is by 10
means hopeess.' But we have other and
more important testimony from the discus
sions III the great English periodicals, where
patriotic Englishlnen state the case in o der
to seek a remedy.
