Across the Ocean.

THERE are four features of inter-
est in the current news from Eu-
rope.
The chief attraction is the election
in Great Britain. 1t has been un-
certain whether Liberals would capt
ure the next House and controle the
policy of government But the lat
estreports indicate that tparty of Irish
Home rule will have a small ma,jori-
ty and Gladstone will be Prime
Minister of England.
Across the Channel is little
country, Portugal, rich in natural
resources and inhabited by an in
dustrious and frugal people. Four
centuries ago, when the era of DIS
covery was at its highest, that count
ry was one of the great powers. But
now is so poor that if it should
guarantee to pay its erection in full
the result would soon be the entire
suspension of payment. The count
ry is bankrupt. The explanation
can be given in a word-tree trade.
The English furnish the Por-
tuguese with their cotton goods,
woolens, hardware, and manufactur-
es generally, and take their pay in
VINE, beef, grain and other agricult-
ural products. 1t is said there are
no manufactures of importance.
That tells the whole story, and ex-
plains the pauperized condition of
the people. The government levies

SENATOR Hale sounded the key
note of the campaign in a brilliant
speech in favor of his resolution set
ting forth the difference between the
Republican policy of protection and
the Democratic policy of tariff for
revenue only, otherwise free trade.
He notified the democrats that the
fight would be fought by the Repub-
licans as an American fight, the pol
icy of the Democratic party, as shown
by its tariff plank, being British and
not American" Tariff for rev.

acceptance for his party Of the is
sues of protection against free trade.

Wages In American ana English
Mills.

SLAVERY" says the Chicago Her
aid, ''had its Legrees. Protection
has its Fricks." For once, and for
a wonder our esteemed contempo-
rary has stated the case correctly.
We respectfully remind the Her.
aid that Legree was a Southern
Democrat who solved the free trade
problem by paying his laborers moth
ing per year. We call the Herald's
attention to what the protective Mr..
Frick has been paving the 325 labor
ers, who resent, and it may be justly
resent, proposed reduction of II
per cent.
The Iron Age of June 30, 1892,
gives the following figures as the
wage list of "a well equipped mill in
Western Pennsylvania, working un-
der the Amalgamated scale, which
is the scale determining the rate Of
wages at Carnegie's works. We
place English rates for like work in
in seperate paragraphs:
The American wage list stands
thus for the year 1891:
Per turn.
Rollers in 7-inch mill, i22 turns
of hours each per year $5,s8,S 1881
boilers in 10-inch in mill, 46S
turns .SEfo.H 1910
Rollers in guide mill, 5l4 turns, 7,l60,S2 1893
Rollers in bar mills. 276 turns, 21466s 7.7s
Thus it seems that the lowest
price paid for eight hours work to
any roller was s7.7S, and the high
est for labor of equal duration was
$19.76.
We make bold to say that there
is hardly one editorial writer on the
regular staff of any one OF the free
trade papers whose editors-in-chief
give orders for "slashing articles on
Frick and Carnegie's starvation wag-
es" who is paid at the rate of$9, ,24S. :
"A for 46S "turns" at his work.
The English pay ola roller in iron
mills is $3.50.
English pay $3.50 per day.
American starvation wages" from
$7.7S to S19.76 for eight hours
work.

The Stewart free coinage bill re-
ceived its quietus in the House last
week. By vote of 154 to 1856 it
was sent to the foot of the calendar
where it can not be reached. Even
if this Congress should remain in
session until after election, it is said
that it could not be reached. Al
most all the Republicans were op-
posed to the bill and voted against
its consideration and about one-third
of the Democrats. Some of those
opposition Democrats were loud in
their advocasy of free silver on the
stump in 1890, if reports were true,
and they may hear something drop
when their constituents get after
them next fall, but the National
Democratic Convention did not make
a part of the National platform, and
that seems to have been a decisive
consideration with quite number
of the members of that party. The
campaign of 1892 is to be fought out
on the tariff issue, straight and
square. The Republicans could not
hope for anything better than that.

ThA Great Chicago Fire.

AS interesting as the stories have
always been that could be told in re-
gard to the great city of Chicago, the
one telling of the burning and re-
building of the city is the story INST
wonderful Of all. Indeed, it seems
like a tale from the fairyIand. 1t is
only when we illustrate the magni-
tude of this fearful disaster by such
figures as the following, that the
mind is capable of understanding, in
any degree, the full scope OF this aw-
full calamity, and with the aid of a
vivid Imagination could be able to
comprehend what must have been
the superb granduer of the scene.
If all the buildings burned in Chi
cago were placed end to end, it would
make an unbroken row nearly 15O
miles long. 1t would take about
two days continuous driving, with a
good team, to pass over the entire
length of all the streets in the burnt
district. The fire swept over and re-
duced to ruins 125 acres of buildings
every hour, and destroyed property
at the rate of over $4,000 every sec
one, or a million dollars every five
minutes, from start to finish. TC
any one standing in an elevated po'
sition when the fire was at its heigh
the scene must have been grand awe
inspiring.
Nearly three years ago a Syndicate
of Chicago capitalists determined t.
have this great scene produced OF
canvas, by the best artists of tht
world, regardless of expence. Th'
dire ton of the work was placed il
the hands of Mr.. Howard III. Gross
of Chicago, and the services ofmany
of the most eminent artists n thi,
kind of work was secured. Anon.
them Salvador Mege, of Paris; Ed
ward J. Austin, of London; Pau
Wilhelm, of Dusseldorf; Richard
Lorenz, of Munich, and Oliver Den
nett Grover. After over two year
of work by score or more ofmel
and the expenditure of nearly ;
quarter million dollars, the grea

the United States, his name familiar
drought the civilized world, not
only for his great enterprise in carry
ingto successful issue extraordln-
AIRY undertakings, but for his re-
markable sagacity as a fnancier and
noble activity as a philanthropist.
Though all his earlier efforts in life
were rewarded with great profit to
himself, it can be claimed for him
more than for most men who have
run from obscuirty to emminence.
who have mounted from poverty to
affluence, that he lived with the In
terest of his fellow man at heart.
A man of the highest principle
and strictest moral integrity, he
died comparatively poor because he
gave his fortune to save from misery
and suffering the victims of a Grim
inal misfortune for which he was in
no wise to blame. This act, char
acteristic of Mr.. Fields dealings with
men throughout his whole life, was
SO exceptional in its justice that his
name should be remembered as much
for his being that ofa singular hon
orable man in an era of selfish ac-
quisitiveness as for being that of the
chief promoter Of that incalculably
great blessing to the world, the At
lantic cable. But for Mr.. Field the
laying of a submarine cable to con-
meet the new and the old world would
have indefinitely deferred, perhaps
beyond this generation; but his
earnestness and confident devotion
to that stupendous and as many be-
lieved visionary project were not
more admirable than the courageous
probity that bade him take from the
fruits of his laborious life to recon-
pense thoes despoiled by the follies or
errors of a member of his family.
1t is said that he was sorely tired
by the sad experience Of the last
year or two, and doubtless grief more
than old age broke down his consti-
tuition and made him an easy victim
to desease. Despite his seventy-two
years, it is said he was yet vigorous
and active prior to the ill-fated
events of the last year, and so
resourceful was his mind that he
felt equal to other great undertak
ings, and he was engaged upon plans
for laying a cable between San
Francisco and Honolulu. The blow
that fell upon him broke down pride
and the courge of life, and the shad-
ows of Unmerited shame and grieI
went NTH him to his darkened
home. But he did more than most
men with equal resources do. He die
not amass wealth by the betrayal OF
the ruin of others. So far as we
can see he lived clean life before
men and an honest one before God
and in his death the country has
reason to mourn the losss of a gooc
man.

Ladle men have received from 50. Is

ern employers who wish to employ
cheap labor, are in favor Of rcpeals

ton" and why their obed.ent SER

and 81. As in England.
Certainly s1.45 is nearer to the
limit of starvation wages" than
$3.50 or $3.50. We are acquainted
with people who have saved enough
to become house overs out of a
salary of less than $3.50 per day.
Rail straighteners can earn $40 a
day under the amalgamated scale in
America, and 81. S5 in England.

thing to have.

walton wages, but if CLEVELAND

running on the amalgamated scale
receives $1.50 per day. Its counter
part in England is paid 62 cents.
