Speaking of strikes, let us look at
the record, for, as Patrick Henry said:

the presidency this year and his sup
porters are fond of telling the working
men that wages will be SO good, If they
elect him, that there will be no further
need of strikes; no danger OF lockouts.
The country has had one Cleveland ao-
ministration. How Jared the working
man then?
The total number of strikes in all IN
dustries in the United States from 1881
to 1884 inclusive was 10, 159. During the

The indignation everywhere felt at
the character of the punishment infiict-

liberation for his anarchistic utterance

not be inflicted upon any human being.
1t is the sentiment which has abolished
the whipping post and driven medieval

sPINNBRs MAY STRIKE.
Danger o: q Big Lockout Among the
Mills OF England.


LONDON, Oct. 26.-The MAYORS Of IiVsr-
pool and Manchester are trying to prevent
strike Of the cotton operatives by inducing
the disputants to consent 20 arbitrate their
differences The opinion is general that the
negotiations TO bring about arbitration Of
the trouble will prove fruitless. It is esti-
mated that the threatsned strike will affect
$4,000, 600 spindles and 81, 900 persons
The matter will be submitted to the coun-
Gil Of the operatives cotton spinners' asso-
citation, which will meet 8 week from next
Saturday. The executive OF the
masters' federation has announced shat the
federation is willing 10 submit the dispute
to arbitration IL che operatives wish to
adopt that means Of settling the trouble
The masters federation controls is, ,000, 600
spindles.
The spinnars In North and Northeast Lam
cRshire are not affected by the strike and
5000, 600 spindles in these districts will be
run as usual, paying the federation fine
or one farthiug per spindle q week
The funds OF the operatives organization
are In prosperous condition and support
has been already received from the spinnsrs
in the unaffected districts. The stocks Of
yarn in the hands OF manufacturers are
moderately heavy and it Is believed that IL
the production OF yarns were stopped the
weaving OF cloth could be continued for
two or three weeks without difficulty. II
the lockout or strike should extend over
three weeks the pinch would begin TO be felt
and many Of the weaving sheds would have
90 close. The flue OF . tsrthing week on
each Of the working spindles will
bring an income Of over 1925, 900
weekly. and this will enable the
masters federation to continue its lockout.
The operatives organization is well pre-
pared for a long strike. The fund amounts
to 100000. Unaffected operatives are
binding themselves TO pay special levies
during the strike. Many OF the spinners
who will quit work have voluntarily siRni-
fed their willingness TO forego their pay for
the first few weeks OF the struggle This
will aid their organization greatly. weak
point In the position of the operatives Is
that nearly half the men who are affected
by the reduction of wages decided upon by
the masters do not belong to the association
and are. therefore. not entitled TO draw
strike pay. Their inability to hold out may
result in a speeding ending Of the struggle.

ton.
The Carmaux Mining Company has ac-
eepted President Loubsts decision. The
striking miners are disappointed at M.

decided to reject the award and to continue
the strike. The police aud military officials
