The publication of the Peck labor re-
port in New York has added to the quar-
rel between the Cleveland and Hill peo-
pie a fresh bitterness. it was serious
enough before, when the Cleveland men
in Buffalo practically charged treachery
upon Lieutenant-governor Sheehan, who
is the chairman of the Democratic State
executive committee. The Peck report
has added fresh fuel to the flames. No
sooner was it issued than angry Cleve-
land editors declared it was a piece of
treachery instigated by Senator Hill.
Even the usually self-coptained Brook
lyn Eagle put out upon it's bulletin
board, "Is Hill a traitorp when the Peck
report was published. These indiscreet
attacks upon Senator Hill. who has a
large personal following, are quite as
likely to prove as disastrous to the
Cleveland cause as the Peck report.
The Democratic State committee in New
York is a Hill committee, and it is re-
ported that already Mr.. Sheehan has
had an interview with Chairman Harrity
regarding the assaults upon himself and
Hill which did not result in any solution
of the difficulty.

SAYS the Greensboro IN. c. North State:
There are only GO. SS2 'colored polls lated
in the State. and yet Democratic politicians
pretend to believe that these want to rule
the white people. The Republican vote IN
1888 WAS 134. ia. and all the colored polls
were not Republicans either. This would
show. even If all the coiored polls were Re-
publicans. that there were $3.50 white Re
pubiicans IN the state as Democratic re-
turning boards counted them."

had accomplished In nearly two months.

Monday it found Mr.. Quincy instead of

THE POVERTY OF RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS.

The Russian immigrants who have
infected Hamburg with cholera and car
RED it to London, and who would have
infected New York ere this if the au-
thorities had not taken the ships in
hand, are represented as the most pow
erty-stricken people that ever came to
our shores; and yet they come from a
country which, until last years partial
famine, has exported large quantities of
wheat, rye. cattle. and such so-called
raw materials as wool and hemp. They
Ia had the free markets of Europe
for these articles. and they have had the
advantage of land which has been
farmed out to them by the government
on what is practically the Henry George
system. Nevertheless, it is a notable
fact that the peasants of Russia have
been lapslng into deeper and more hope
less poverty as the years have passed. and
their lands have become less and less
productive. All the people in those
poverty-stricken districts look to the
tilling of the soil for subsistence. There
are nc varied industries to give en-
ployment to the increase in population.
Labor has no value and agriculture is
carried on without machinery. This
people make no market for the products
of manufactures, because they have not
the means to purchase. In fact, they
have often been unable, under the best
conditions, to obtain sufficient coarse
food to supply the cravings of nature.
Of late these people have been coming
to this country in large numbers, not
because, as the Chicago Herald has said,
their industries have been destroyed by
the loss of the American market, but
because, forced to n employment, the
population cannot get food.
Itmay be asked, why have not gen.
eral industries grown up in a country
where labor is SO cheap? Because, in
the first place. such wretched people
have no skill; but, second, because the
markets of the world arc crowded
with the products of skilled labor,
for the reason that too many producers
depend upon other nations than their
a udikcts IL III poilCy ~ NUS
STA had been to diversity industries, and
to pay living wages to labor, her sub
jects would not be the most wretched
people on the globe, seeking subsistence
in other countries. Other countries in
Europe are tending in the same direc-
ton. They make goods aud depend
upon foreign countries to buy them.
When they shall have the wisdom to
adopt q system of paying productive
labor wages which will enable the mass
of the people to purchase the products
of their own factories, they may hope
for something of that prosperity which
the whole body of w~age-earners in this
couptry enjoy. and not till then. Labor
day is q fitting occasion to consider the
folly of a policy which proposes to put
'the labor of America on a plane of
equality with that Of the rest of the
world" Such compensation for labor
as will enable w~age-earners, by the ex-
ercise of intelligent prudence, to live in
comfort is gospel of deliverance from
poverty and wretchedness.

Madison Courier.
The plan OF campaign of the Democrats
is not only TO disparage all attempts to
start home manufactures. but to disparage
the quality of such American manufactures
as are already established. The Demo-
cratic argument consists in attempting to
show that American products are of poor
quality and high priced. There is not an
American alive, with intelligence to see as
fur as his own front gate, but knows that
American products are not of poor quality
or high priced. An amendment to the
worlds fair bill. providing that all exhib-
Its should he placarded with the foreign
and American prices, was voted down by
the Democratic House after Mr.. Coombs. q
Democratic Representative and business
man from BROOKLYN, had expressed the
opinien that the showing would rebound TO
Tn. credit OF the American manufactures.

features the Democratic wanted none of it.
