FEDERATION OF TRADES.
An Assessment Levied to Assist the
Miners.


Miners.
DETROIT. December 13th.-At the last
session of the American Federation of
Trades, this morning, it was decided to in.
fuence the appointment of women factory
inspectors and the organization of women.
A resolution aiming at the sweating sys.
tenn in New York, asking that Congress.
sional committee be petitioned to investi-
gate, was passed. Another, asking for the
repeal of the conspiracy law of New York,
was also passed. The Trades and Labor
Council of California was suspended until
the subordinate union has paid up its as.
sessment.
The Committee on Eight-hour Day re.
ported that the campaign adopted in 1890
would be followed, and the Federation
assessed each union two cents per week per
capita, for five weeks, to procure funds for
the coal miners to lead next years fight.
A unanimous vote adopted the report.
a delegate took occasion to remark that
the miners fight would not be like that of
the carpenters. The iron and steel workers
would be affected, and so also the engineers.
The omended constitution was adopted,
and salaries were fixed the same as now.

THE FRENCH CAPITAL.
The New Tariff Bill Outdoes the McKin-

ley Bill.
PARIS, December 13th.-It is believed
that the Government endeavored to ar
range an international monetary confer
ence.. England and some of the other
Powers may object on the ground of the
futility of previous conferences. In such
event powerful influence will be brought
to bear upon the Government to invite
delegates from the Latin Union, the United
States and other silver countries to discuss
the silver question, with a view to an inter-
national regulation of silver value.
The tariff bill, as now shaped under the
hands of the Committee of the Chamber.
outdoes the Mckinley bill in protection.
ism. The Gironde Commerce League, the
leading free-trade body. has issued g strong
manifesto, denouncing it as tending to Sur.
round France with Chinese wall, the in
evitable result of which will be the ruin of
the country's agricultural, commercial and
shipping interests for temporary profit.
The great manufacturers believe, however,
that if the Government can assure the
safety of the Bordeaux wine trade under
reciprocity, the opposition of the League
will disappear.

The Stanley Scandal.
LONDON, December 13th.-Walter Bartte.
lot, brother of the late Major Barttelot
writes to the Times; "All that Stanley
said about me is untrue. 1t is also untrue
that my brother wrote to me to prevent
Troup divulging anything, or that Stanley
or his officers warned me not to publish
my brothers diaries. Bonny told ME
some, not ALL of the tales, but he at the
same time told stories to discredit nearly
every officer of the expedition, including
Stanley. The latter's book and all subse-
quent accusations are full of irreconcilable
contradictions and inconsistencies, largely
made up OF the scourings of camp gossip.
Stanley has done this to cover his own Gull
pability. He incloses letter from Lieu
tenant Baert testifyiDg to Major Barttelot's
lndomitable energy and courage. LIeuten-
ant Baert says he was on the spot, but
never heard of the accusations Stanley
made"

New YORK, December 12th.-Kirpan's
Washington special says Senator Sher
man, interviewed on the financial situa.
uoo, said: If only the present standards of
money can be maintained, he will regard
the situation as extremely hopeful. He
insists that the national banks be given
facilities to maintain their circulation until
the bonds are all paid off, when some other
system must be devised, He believes
United States notes will be the future cur
rency, properly secured by reserves. The
tree coinage of silver means the immediate
demonstration of gold, and the United
states would then have q standard con-
stantly increasing in volume, but lessening
IN demand. He thinks there is hopefuI
prospect OF an International agreement on
silver, because of the universal feeling that
neither gold nor silver is abundant enough
to form the basis of money.

was adopted, at which time the aggre-
gate tonnage of United States vessels
i'm that trade was 4l,4e5 tons, or ~ per
cent. while Great Britain led us with
44,4e5 tons. What happened, the Press
tells as follows:
Ia two wears our tonnage doubled and the
tonnage of Great Britain fell One-third; in
nine years our tonnage trebled and the ton
mage of Great Britain had recovered TO
nearly its old figures; but the commerce OF
the islands had so increased that the share
carried under the British flag, which was
- per cent. or nearly half, in 1875, was -
per cent. i'm 1851. or a little over One-tfth.
For 1--WE years more reciprocity continued
it's work In lSS9 the tonnage Of Great
Britain was One-half Of what it was
I'm 1870, and oue-tenth the tonnage clear
ing from the islands. Our tonnage was
over one-half, 81 per cent. Of the whole
and the Hawaiian tonnage, the gerat
bulk of which was built in this country,
was one-fourth, or 566,65O tons, having risen
teu-fOld In fourteen years. In all other
ports our flag has waned In all other seas
the tonnage Of Great Britain grows yearly.
In the Hawaiian Islands, under the magic
of reciprocal trade, we treble the tonnage
Of our ships, create demand for their pur-
chase by another country, and in fourteen
years end by putting siX-sevenths Of the
trade into American bottoms. Meanwhile
our trade with the islands had risen from
imports OF Sl,316,6Sl in 1875 TO imports OF
81. So, 40 in 1859. and our exports from a
0eggarly SSl4, 50 when the treaty began 70
81. SD. 90 iu 1859.
With this showing, there is contrast
ed the disappearance Of our flag on the
lines OF commerce with other countries
where a hostile tariff bars the way. and
the deduction is made that We need
fear no competition upon the seas if
once trade Is made free. This grand
somersault of the leading Republican
organ Of the great protective state OF
Pennsylvania must be startling to a
good many Republican statesmen.
