motion of the efficiency of the militia in

a militia would become homogeneous
and practically constitute one army.

A TRICKY AFFAIR.

The speedy recovery of Flick, the
manager of the Carnegie mills at Home
stead, Pennsylvania, from the wounds
received at the hands of his would-be
assassin was generally remarked, upon
the announcement of his return to his
office AID resumption of work. And
now comes the statement that Frick was
not wounded at all; that the whole
affair was a sham, gotten up and perpe-
trated to counterfeit the tide OF public
sympathy that was running toward the
lockout operatives and if possible to
break the force of the popular censure
that was being expressed for the Carne-
gle people, If this last allegation be true
Prick had the trick wonderfully well
planned, including thorough under
standing with the whole party to the
plot, including Bergman, the alleged
assassin, the Office boy and the clerks,
the physicians and the cabmen. There
are some people who will suspect that
this last expose @ is something of a
trick in itself. That there has been a
good deal of trickery connected with
the Homestead affair from the begin
ming about everybody believes.

According to these figures, which en-
body the findings of our bureau of sta
tistics, of eminent foreign statisticians,
and of commercial and labor reports, it
appears that the wages of skilled work
men are substantially 100 pei cent.
higher in protectionist America than IN
free trade England. What is more,
wages have increased far more rapidly
for the past twenty years here than they
have in Great Britain. In fact, British
authorities insist that in some of their in
dustries there has been an actual decline
in the remuneration of the workers.
There is one way only in which Ameri-
can wages can be maintained at their
present high level, and that is by strict
adherence to the policy laid down IN the
Republican platform of levying on all
competitive imports duties equal TO the
difference between wages abroad and at
home.

The strike of the railway switchmen
on some CT the northern and eastern
systems is assuming serious proportions,
and the attitude of the con;ending par
ties must be threatening when the mill
tary is required to protect property and
preserve the peace. The cause of the
trouble seems to be the same old
grievance, j. e., too many hours work
and not enough pay on the part of the
strikers, and inability to comply on the
railroad side. 1t is in order, neverthe-
less, for the redoubtable free trader to
exclaim that it is the result of the OPP
pressiveness of the Mckinley law, and
to proceed at once to fire the popular
heart with sympathetic appeals for en-
couragement and support for the
strikers.
