W Norkingmen Deceived.

The fact that thousands of working
men representing all branches of pro-
tected Industries. have gone on a strike
for better pay since the Novemb Der
election does not simply mean that the
tarln system now in operation is a det-
rlment To the interest OF the wage earn
CT. II has another significance, IL
shows US very plainly that many of the
men at present in need of assistance are
the victims of false pretehse. That is
TO say they have been cruelty deceived
by the Republican agents of monopo-
lists.
They were told during the presiden-
tial campaign that the defeat of Grover
Cleveland and tariff reform would
bring about better times. Wages would
go up, the stump speakers said. indus
tries would thrive and in short. there
would be wonderful demand for labor.
The picture which :hey held up to the
gaze OF the tired tOileI was a beautiful
and allurIng one, indeed, but II bears
no resemblance to all the spurious chro-
mo representatives of the actual con-
dition OF affairs as they exist TO day
with the anniversary of that memorable
campaign not far distant.
Iake-fOr instance the coal miners of
the Republican State OF Illinois. The
Republican campaign hlatherskites
swooped down on the workingmeE of
that place previous TO November 6
last, and the gastronOmic dishes which
they promised the wage workers if they
voted against tariff reform were paIatas
Ole enough TO water the mouth of a
King. What, Indeed, must have been the
thoughts of the miner. who permitted
himself to be hoodwinked, as he and his
half starved family, before assistance
arrived from Chicago, sat down to a
mess of horse flesh. II Is safe to saw
that If he said grace he had no praise
for either The mOnOpolistic party or tnat
monumental fraud, the high tariff.

1t Plays the Mischief " ith WOoIen Mills

1t has been announced :hat the Pio-
Deer Wooden Factory of California
the largest west of the Mississippi-is
for sale. The cause assigned for the
eale is that there is no longer any mon
sy in manufacturing wooden goods in
California No dividends have been
paid by this company for the last five
years. This may be regarded by some
people as a somewhat remarkable an
nOuncemenI, in view of the fact that
the California wooden manufactures are
protected by an average duty of &C per
cent, and of the further fact that Calls
fornla Is one OF the l. rgest wool growing
regions in this country.
The trouble is the wool interests of
California are protected altogether too
much. What with :he high duties on
law wool, and the still higher duties on
manufactured goods, the business has
been well nigh done 10 death. If the
California manufacturers should be per-
mltted I'D import free of tax the fine va
Tletles or wool grown in Australia and
theATgentine Republic, and mix these
with domestic wool, they would be en-
aoled TO produce fabrics suitable far the
nome trade Ss well ss for export Aus
ITALIA and Argentine Republic can take
the manufactured goods in exchange
Tor the raw wool, and a mutually ad-
vantageOus trade would be established
But under the existing system the best
foreign woods are not imported. and not
a yard of wooden cloth manufactured is
exported The best California wool
when unmixed with other wool does not
serve for manufacturing 6ne fabrics,
and hence the demand for domestic
wool for the home market is seriously
checked.
In these conditions the decline In the
Woolen business in California and the
offer OF the largest factory for sale are
noe hard to account for. But the WOOL
en- manufacturers and the wooI-growers
or the Pacific coast have done what
they could to produce the very results
Of which they low complain. n.-Philq.

CROP reports in this cosntry and Eu-
rope are SO often manipulated by grain
specuIatOrs, they don't do TO RELY on.
The weight Of evidence now is that we
will have the largest yield of wheat this
year ever known. 1t is estimated at not
less than SOC, 900, 900 bushels, larger by
50, 600, 900 bushels than any preceding
yield. Corn is hardly up to the average
but the yield of hay and oats are also
ahead OF the record. At the South
great crops of corn. cotton, rice, sugar
and tobacco are promised. The reports
from abroad are in serious contrast with
this cheering outlook. There is hardly
a break IN the unfavOrable showing
made by the early hsrvests in the Euro
pean fields. 1t is admitted in the Rus.
sian official reports that the wheat crop
IS the poorest in many years, aud the
same IS true for the most part of central
and eastern Europe. The estimates for
England and France have been greatly
reduced within 2 few weeks. The re-
ports from Australia are bad, and esti-
mates from Ind ia chow a shortage of
15,OOO.OOO bushels, or fully per cent.
of the usual yield. All this looks Ike
big prices for the big American crop .

A BENEFIT TO FAIR HAVEN.

An Important BuBlnesS TransaetfOn
 Consummased eSserday-Mr. Kenna,
 Proprietor of the SeIden House, Buys
 the Porter Stair M1u PrOpeYty-The
 mill to be Started Again.
 Yesterday afternoon deeds were passed by which MT. Thomas M. Kenna, proprietor of the Selden House, this city, has bought the Porter stair mill, in Fair Haven. The pur- chase includes the entire premises, land and buildings. The land is two hundred and forty feet front on Grand avenue and runs back five hundred feet on Clay street. and is bounded on the east by Haven street and on the west by the channel of Mill river, which the docks of the mill abut. The land com prises several acres. The buildings are all in excellent condition. The premises are best known as the Porter stair mill, but for some time before the firm became financially em- barraased and fell into the hands of a receiver it's business was chiefly the making of orna- mental wood fttings and equipments for private residences and public buildings. which business will be carried on by the new owner, who has thorough knowledge of the business in all it's details. The resumption of business at this mill will give much satis- faction in Fair Haven, as it will afford em-
 
 men with families, and the stoppage of busi- ness there caused much regret, as Fair Haven is not provided with many manufacturing industries. although it has many more than formerly. MT. Kenna, for years before tak- ing the Selden House, conducted the pattern making and wood working business, 8 branch of business with which he is thor oughly familiar. He will continue to con- duct the Selden House, in which he will be assisted by his son, who is well acquainted with the business of the house. The Porter Stair company did business at the mill for about twenty-five years, but financial em- barrassment overlook it number of months ago and finally Mir. w. J. Atwater, one of the principal creditors, was appointed re- ceiver. The equity of the mill property was few weeks ago purchased by Mir. s. R. Blatchley of Fair Haven, the real estate deal CT, whose office is in Exchange building. MT. Blatchley yesterday sold the property to MT. Kenna. Under the new purchasers manage ment new era of prosperity in the business is expected, and a large and valuable prop erty, which for weeks past has lain dormant and idle, will again resound with the busy hum of machinery.

When Does the Nineteenth Century
 EmA9

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In your issue of the daily JOURNAL ANr COURIER for December 12, 1888, you spoke of bet as to when the nineteenth century ends, The facts in my judgment are as follows:
 One said that the nineteenth century ends December 31, 1899. Now century is one hundred years, so that the first century of the Christian era, as reckoned by us, could net have ended on December 31, 99, but on December 31, 100. The next century, there. fore, commences on January 1, 1O1, and end- ed December 31, 200, and each century since has commenced at the beginning of the year numbered ''1" added to the number of hun- dreds. This present century will therefore end on the last day of December, 1900.
 We call this the nineteenth century, be- cause we have completed eighteen hundred vears; just as a man who has passed the 42d Anniversary of his birthday is in his 43d year.
 As to the second point, whether the year 1888 is the 89th year of this century, there nav have been confusion of thought. The al,oye explanation will decide this question. The facts are plain and a very little study will make them clear.
