BUSINESS A BIT BRIGHTER,
Gin cinnad Manufacturers Feeling That
There Arc Brighter Days Ahead.

CINCINNATI. Aug. l2.-[SpectaL ]-Rogers,
Brown Co. say: Business of the past week
has been of good volume but not extraor-
dinary. Evidently general activity pre-
walls among the factories and foundries, as
the car lot trade is unusually large, with
every variety Of pig iron in request. The
demand for mill grades continues good.
After 16 conferences the iron manufacturers
and the Amalgamated Association reached
an amicable adjustment of their differences
at Pittsburg, Thursday night, and the new
wage-scale is being signed by the manufac-
turers of the Pittsburg district. The She
mango and Mahoning Valley districts will,
no doubt, promptly follow, as the demand
for manufactured iron is large and stocks
are badly broken. and furthermore the mills
are anxious co resume business and book
contracts with their old customers.
Owing to the suspension of work also at
many mills during the past 10 days, there
has been an increase of stock of coke irons
at the furnaces In the Mahoning,
Shenango and Pittsburg districts. Now
that the mills will quickly resume opera
tions there will be a corresponding reduc-
tion OF mill iron stocks. Prices are more
stable. Tho current figures approximate
cost SO closely that cutting now means pain
to the furnaces.

RUM AND CHOLERA.

RUM AND CHOLERA.
Temperance in eating and drinking is q
good thing in all times and especially in
cholera time. There is a great deal of
testimony concerning the close connection
which may exist between "rum" and
cholera. This connection has been noticed
and commented on in all the great cpl
denies of this century, in Europe and in
this country. In 1882 fve-sixths of those
who died of cholera in Great Britain were
Incorporate, and in one or two villages
every drunkard died, while not single
total abstainer lost bis life. DR.. Carpenter
of Glasgow testified that in 1S49 fve-sixths
of those attacked by cholera were known
to have derived their predisposition to it
from habitual intemperance. When the
disease was raging in Montreal, DR..
Brownson of Albany went there on an
errand of mercy, and his testimony
was that "the disease searched
out the haunts of the drunkard and seldom
left it without bearing away its victim.
Even moderate drinkers were but little
better off," Twelve hundred persons died
in Montreal, and ore of the papers of that
city said: "Not drunkard who has been
attacked has recovered from the disease,
and almost all the victims have been at
least moderate drinkers" In the cholera
epidemic in Albany in 1882, 366 persons
died and all but four belonged to the
drinking classes. Only one member
in $500 of the temperance societies
died, while of the rest of the pop
ulation one in sixty succumbed to
the cholera. In New York city only two
among the 5000 members of temperance
societies died. OF one Hibernian tenn
perance society of 1873 members not one
death occurred. In Washington the
health authorities became go convinced of
the dangers of liquor drinking that they
closed the saloons for three months, on
the ground that they were public nui-
sances.
These are impressive facts. It's an ill
wind that blows no good, and if the
cholera leads many men and women to be
more wise and temperate in eating and
drinking it will do some good.

was just what we wanted, and we are vain
enough to think that the table We furnish
below, the figures of which are taken from
this source, will be scanned by the Ameri-
can public just at this time with the most
eager curiosity.
The return itself consists of twenty
nine closely printed pages, and affords sta
tistics along the lines indicated of some
thirty-hve railway companies. As, how
ever, we deem it only fair to put English
railway wages before the American reader
in their best light, and as Mr.. Hartford had
assured us that the best average pay was
afforded by the four great corporations al
ready mentioned, we omit what is said of
the others, and confine our table to such
statistics as are afforded with respect to
these. We also omit, for convenience, any
statistical exhibit of the hours of work.
Glaucing over the figures afforded on this
subject, the conclusion to which we are led
is that the time reckoned for an ordinary
day will average on all the roads taken to-
gether about eleven hours. Some work
twelve, some twelve and a half; and If we
are to believe what has been said before
the royal commission on labor, some four
tsen and fifteen, at times, with a most woe
ful discrepancy between theory and prac-
tice all along the line. But we are writing
by the book, and We put the average at
eleven hours.
In regard to wages, the rate is given at
various leading stations on the line, and
we note here and there slight ve-iation.
To be strictly fair, therefore, we have Civ
en- for each class of workmen the lowest
wage and the highest wage paid on each of
the four railways The difference, ID will
be seen. is not very great, though tie read
er should know that to strike a fair aver
age many more must be clsssed in the low
er than in the higher grades. Engine
drivers and firemep, we find, are put to-
gether. This is because in this country
every fireman is a sort of learner under
the engineer, and is supposed to bs in the
line of promotion to that place. The in
ference is, of course, that the highest
wage given in this column is the highest
the driver receives, and the lowest the
bottom sum paid to the fremen. What
comes between these figures we have no
means of learning, but with the exception
OF that one item the table which We sub !
init is quite clear, and to those who know |
what the same men get in the United |
States it will speak, we are inclined to |
think, in no uncertain tones.

nIUGWUMP HONESTY.

1t is interesting to see the high toned
organs of the mugwumps joining in the
howl against Labor Commissioner Peck.
1t appears that the mugwump standard of
loyalty to Cleveland is willingness to
suppress all evidence bearing against his
free trade assertions and to pervert and
complicate all evidence that goes to prove
the value and efficacy of protection. They
do this with that peculiarly mugwumpian
air of candor and lofty purity which
impresses the shallow minded with the
conviction that they are the only per-
sons in the country who candidly
y before their readers all facts bear
ng on public controversies, and who are
unalterably opposed to the misuse of
official means of Information to mislead
the public mind. Yet they abuse Com
missioner Peck for not making use of his
the investigations of his bureau prove to
be directly untrue, and accuse him of
treachery to Cleveland because he refuses
to pervert the machinery of his Office to
manufacture campaign material for Cleve-
land.
The mugwump journals by imputation
arraign in the same way Senators Car
Isle and Harris, the Democrats who were
members of the Senate sub committee of
the finance committee to Investigate
prices and wages before and after the Nc
Kinley law. Senator Carlisle is by far the
most able and the most candid of the
tariff-for- r-revenue-only Democrats. He
gave his unqualified assent to all the
methods used and all the results attained
by the subcommittee of which he was a
procedure that no method should be en-
ployed that did not have the unanimous
assent of the whole committee. In his
speech on the tariff in reply to Senator Al
drioh, he accepted the facts ascertained by
the committee and tried to make the best
of them for his side of the contro-
versy. Yet the Mugwump press seeks
to impugn this report and to cast
discredit upon it as partisan docu-
ment, designed to prop up the cause of
protection. In fact, they put Senator Car
lisle in the came category with Commits
sioner Peck as a traitor to Grover Cleve-
land because he has not refused his assent
to obvious facts, obtained with the most
conscientious and painstaking care, but
which refute the Democratic contentious
on the tariff question.
Is this specimen of the honesty in poll
tics which the mugwumps pretend to prac-
kice3

RustlfnOC Corn.


When the long, bright day is done
And the last rays or the sun
With fading light the hill tops fair adorn,
It is sweet to rest awhile,
And moment to beguile,
In listening to the rustling Of the corn.
Oh, that music soft and low,
When the summer breezes blow
Bringing back the happy scenes Of childhoodf
morn
When through all the summer day
have whiled the hours away
Playing hide and seek amid the rustlipg corn!
Through the dim, uncertain light,
1 can see the phantom bright
OF loved one who, in childhood's rosy morn,
From our home was called away,
And her shout and laughter gay
Seem to esho family through the rHstling corn
Like a dream those pleasures flew,
With the years returned anew;
Little ones within my cottage home were born,
And once more hear the shout,
See the running in and out,
Happy children hiding in the rustling corn.
Many years have passed away,
And my hair is turning gray,
Gone are all the loved ones of life's rosy morn,
But feel their presence near,
Long-forgotten voices hear,
While listen to the rustliug OF the corn.
