FREETRADE LOSING GROUND.
MR. GLADSTONE ADMITS THAT ITS
PROSPECTS ARE NOT BRIGHT
MiIItarIsm Responsible for the Situation
In Europe, SIC Thinks. but Something
Else Has Checked Free Trade In Anne erica.

MilltnrIsm ReapOnSlblo for the Situation
In Europe, SIC ThInks, but Something
Else Has Checked Free Trade In America.
LONDON May 12.-Mr. Gladstone spoke at
the Golden Club to-day. He said that free
traders must recognize with great dsRppoint-
ment how much ground had been lost by their
doctrine within the last twenty-five years.
Miltarism. which lay like u vampire over
Europe. was responsible for much Of the mis-
chief. but not for all. because free trade had
receded in countries where militarism did not
prevail-in tho United States and in the
British colonies Protection was applied now
in America not only to goods but to persons, as
was instanced by the treatment OF the Chinese.
Tho great republic had never accepted the
doctrines OF free trade. At one time there had
been kind of qualified progress toward them; ;
but this being checked, opinion became ac-
tually retrogressive. Still. the growing
strength. activity, and clearness OF conviction
OF the free trade American party gave prom
ise Of ultimate triumph at the polls. On look
ing over the world the pros poets OF free trade
were certainly not encouraging. This state OF
opinion had emboldencd the champions Of
protection. long lurking in their holes. to ven-
ture out, and renew the struggle under the
name of fair trade.
Regarding bimetallism. Mr.. Gladstone said
he believed its advocates smelt therein a
speedy rise OF prices. Hear. hear.l 1t was a
movement In the direction Of protection. Since
the adoption OF free trade the wages OF labor
ing mon had improved so per cent. England
was working out q great social and economic
problem for the benefit of the world. He was
confident that free trade, though temporarily
discredited was destined TO become the uni
verSal charter Of trade and to obtain the gen.
eral acceptance OF civilized nations.

LONDON, May 12.--In the House OF Com

ernment to allow the importation Of store cat
tie from Virginia. The cattle there, he said.
were always free from peuro- pneumonia. the
region being many hundreds OF miles distant
from the infected districts. Cattle could be
shipped from that State without touching other
States.
Mr.. Chaplin. President OF the Board Of Agri-
culture. denied that Virginia was always free
from pleuro- pneumonia. lie said the report Of
the United States DEPARTMENT OF Agriculture
in 1885 referred 10 the prevalence OF cattle dis
ease in Virginia In the summer OF that year.
Again in 1887 an outbreak was reported. In
March last cargo Of diseased cattle arrived at
Deptiord from baltimore showing that there
were infected districts near Virginia. The
Government. therefore. could not except Vir-
ginia cattle.

the clause of the Werts bill, which per-
mits of tne distribution of the official
ballots prior TO election day.
This was the grand rock on which the
committee struck.
The Republicans wanted the ballots to
be distributed only at the polling places
aud on election day. while the Democrats
just as hard wanted that clause of the
billto stand as ii was.
There seemed to be no prospect of an
agreement when Senator Werts offered
as compromise a section providing that
the ballot may be distributed before cleo
ton, but only one at q time to one person.
The compromise was discussed at some
length and was finally laid over until the
next meeting. The Republicans proposed
to have the sunset law incorporated into
the bill and the Democrats refused to
agree to the proposition Then there was
more talk until the Democrats proposed
that they compromise on closing the
polls at six o'clock instead of seven, as
now. The Republicans did not know
whether to accept the proposition and ad-
journed until tomorrow.
In the meantime they will consult with
their leaders and make up their minds
what to do in the premises. The commit
tee propose to meet from day to day until
they have agreed upon a measure to sub

STARTING A REPRIsAL.
The Two Chambers Deadiocksd o
Pending Legislation.


Special to the Jersey City Nescs.
TRENTON, March 10, 1S90-Mr. Marsh,
the Democratic leader of the House. ad-
ministered justly deserved castigation
to the Senate this evening. A Senate bill
was before the chamber on final possage
when Mr.. Ma rsh called for the reading OF
the record on the bill providing for the
pay of the clerks to the House. which
showed that the bin had passed the House
about month ago.
Mr.. Marsh said that the "August body
across the marble hall'' had had that bill
in their possession since then and had re-
fused to pass 1t, saying that they did not
propose to pay the Democratic clerks.
Mr.. Marsh showed how the Republicans
had passed the same bills when they
that if the House was Republican he
would feel just as indignantly over the
Senate action as he did then.
He moved the Senate bill go over and
his motion prevailed.
The Senate took up the bill providing
for the clerks pay on second reading, and
amended it by reducing the salaries of
the clerks of the Committees on Revision
of Laws, on Labor and Industries and on
Corporations to 500, and threw out the
clerk to the Committee on Election
altogether
The failure of the Republican Senate is
blocking legislation and bids fair to
either lengthen the session considerably
or defeat the passage of many really
meritorious measures.
The House has worked hard and ac-
complished great deal while the Senate
has done hardly anything.

A LIFETIMB OF LABOR.
The Interesting Enquiries
Set on Foot by the State
Bureau of Labor and
Industries.
Special to the Jersey cftu Me,rs.

TRENTON, March 10, 1S9O.-The forth
coming report of the Bureau of Statistics
of Labor and Industries, which is about
ready for the printer, will be one of the
most interesting documents the State has
yet issued. Its peculiar interest lies in
the line of enquiry which it pursues and
which is one never before attempted in
this country 1t is divided into two parts,
one of which aims to ascertain the aver
age life of the workman in various fields
OF labor, and the average number Of their
working years, while the other is devoted
to a consideration of the mortgages In the
State
The first part this year embraces the
pot, glass blowing and pottery industries.
In pursuit of this enquiry Charles II. Sim
norman. Secretary of the Bureau, last
man in these trades. These contained
questions which asked the recipient at
W hat age he began to work at his trade,
whether he had worked continuously ar
1t since he started: if not to state the
number of years he had not worked and
the reasons therefor; the number of years
actually engaged in the trade; whether
the occupation OF his father was the same
as his; how long the father followed the
trade; at what age the father died; at
what age the laborer began to decline at
his trade; how he was at first affected; at
what age he became incapacitated for
work: what diseases are peculiar to his
trade; and whether he has suffered from
any disease contracted at his trade.
He was also requested to furnish any
information within his knowledge relat-
ing to the number of years worked by
those who have quit the trade or have
died; and also any information relative
to the sanitary condition of the factory in
which he works, and whether any
changes could be made that would i'm
prove it.
In reply to the circular 1,040 answers
were received from the glass workers,
1,112 from employees in the potteries, and
2,547 from the hatters.
From these replies it appears that the
average life of the glass worker is thirty
fiye and fraction years, while his work
ing years average fifteen. The average
life of the halter is a little over thirty
eight years, and his working life about
eighteen years, while the potter averages
thirty-five years and works fourteen
years.
The answers also show that the life of
the foreign born workman is trife
longer than that of the native,
That part of the report devoted to
mortgages sets forth the amount of
mortgaged property in each county, and
also the number of foreclosures which
have been made for the past several
years.
This line of enquiry will be continued
from year to year until the statistics con
cerning each trade have been compiled.
At the suggestion of the National
Bureau, the New Jersey Bureau will, dur
ing the coming year, endeavor TO ascer-
tain the effect of Child labor upon adult
lobor, and whether 1t tends to cheaper
. that Iah0r and, fha Ylrad11rt
