HE INVITES THE GLADSTONIANS TO DISCLOSE
THEIR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
The belief which has been growing in London
during the last few days that Mr. Chamberlain
was inclining toward a reconciliation with the
Gladstonians was further strengthened by the
Birmingham statesman's speech in the house
of commons yesterday. In the speech Mr..
Chamberlain said the speakers of the opposi-
ton had made the debate sterile by avoiding
the main issue. The house was asked to CEN
sure the government Surely so important
step demanded some insight into the policy of
the government seeking 10 succeed the existing
government. Why did not the opposition give
the country reasons for revising the present
policy! Let the opposition, If it possessed a
policy, produce a series of resolutions express

NeU-YorIl is by no means the only city to
sufrcr from the inconvenience and trouble
caused by the teanng-up OF payementS ana
the neglect Of contractors or corporations to
restore them to good condition. Boston has
inst been having an experience which should
teach a valuable lesson, not only to that city,
but TO many other municipalities. The net
result of the Boston incident is that there is no
way 10 prevent payements from being ripped
ND and that, while it is required that they be
rcIad in a satisfactory manner, there Is no
practical means of compelling this, and, as a
rule. the work is done in n SlipShod fashion.
The Superintendent Of Streets last week sought
the advice II the Corporation Counsel as TO the
extent Of his authority. \ new street had
been constructed in thorough manner at
cost of So. 900, and the work had no sooner
been completed than applications were put III
for permission to open it for repairs to pipes,
etc. The Superintendent was anxious to know
whether he had the right to refuse to grant She
permits, but he got little leal satisfaction from
the Corporation Counsel. According to the
ordinances no street can be broken or dug up
without permit granted by the Superintendent
Of Streets but as to Withholding permits thai
official seems to have no discretion. The same
condition of things has prevailed here, and in
both cases the provision that the street shall be
restored to good condition is substantially n
dead letter.
Corporation Counsel Richardson, however.
makes valuable suggestion when he says that
there ought to be a law forbiddng the digging
up Of any newly laid pavement, except by
city depaI tment for a certain number Of years
after it is completed. He mentions two years
as a suitable limit, but this impresSes us as
rather too short period. No new pavement
should be disturbed, unless in the gravest Of
emergencies, for at least five years after it is
put down. Such a requirement, as Mr.. Rich
ardson says, would undoubtedly maize persons
or corporations anxious to lay conduits, etc.
alert to get their work done in advance Of the
paving. Then when pavement has been torn
up there ought to be some means of having it
restored as nearly as possible to its previous
condition, though it is doubtless true that when
a street has once been opened it can never be
made absolutely as good as it was before.

F4JLUREs AND FREE MATERIALS

ran CKES AND ThEE MAIEHIALo'
il is about time to call the Free Traders TO
order. They have been chattering incessant-
ly for some weeks about the failures of mills,
and attrbuting those failures to the tariff.
Without free raw materials, they continually
ask, how can these manufacturers live? Now
the fact is that the largest and most Important
mills which have failed have been cotton mills,
and they have free raw material-cheaper ma
terial, too, than the manufacture can command
in any other country.
Bradstreets," a paper Of free-trade lean
ings prints a list of failures OF woOllen man
ufactores in 1889, showing As thus far for
this year, against 35 to date last year. 1t
adds that the liabilities were So, 50 1000,
against only S2,480, 600 last year. But at a
glance it is evident that the table is deceptive,
for it includes as woollen mill the Wauregan,
which manufactures cotton shirtings, and whose
liabilities were doubtless much larger than
those of any other company in the list. In the
same paper appears list of failures Of cotton
manufacturers and Dealers" which includes
the name Of Lewis Brothers Dc Co., but does
not include the Wauregan. Taking its La
bilities from the woollen and adding them to
the cotton list where they belong, it would APP
pear that l 0 cotton concerns have failed this
wear with liabilities of over $500 600, while
. woollen manufacturing concerns have failed
with liabilities Of about S5,40O,0O0, The LA
bilitieS Of 81 of them were less than 81 600
each.
Men of sense are aware that the failure
! Of numerous establishments has resulted from
the insolvency of few large commercial
houses, which were the selling agents for a
number of the mills. When the obligations
of these houses, amounting to several millions
became worthless at bank, the mills were UNI
able to provide for their obligations. But the
Free Traders, who never tire Of attributing
every manufacturing disturbance TO the tariff
are called upon here 60 show how it is that
cotton mills of large importance have failed
notwithstanding they get their material free
of duty while no other establishments Of equal
! Importance in any other branch of manufacture
have failed, though obliged to pay duties on
materials imported.
There have been losses in the wOolen man
ufacture also, it is true. No other branch OF
| manufacture has been so severely tried within
the last three years by circumstances in no way
attributable to protective duties. Protection
did not make the last winter about the miIdest
ON record. nor did it prevent the sale of winter
goods which had been Manufactured in large
quantities in expectation Of the ordinary de-
mand IL was not protection, but the want
or the virtual defeat of protection by hostile
Administration, which admitted vast guam
titles of imported ,woollen goods under Eatex %
