from an editorial in Shanklin's paper,

was published July IA, 1890, when Shank
lin was engaged In booming Gray:
notwithstanding Harrison's candidacy
in 1885, it cannot be donhted that If Gov,
ernor Gray. instead of Judge Thurman, had
been on the ticket with Cleveland, the
electoral vote of Indiana would have been
cast for the national Democratic ticket. If
Governor Gray should be the nominee for
the presidency in 1892, and Harrison
should be tho Republican nominee. as now
seems probable. there Is. no doubt that a

LABOR AND WAGES In ENGLAND.

Through the kindness of a friend now
in England the Journal has received O
report of N days testimony recently
taken before the Royal Labor Commits
sion. This is a parliamentary COM
mission. and the testimony taken by it
will eventually go before Parliament in
the form of an official report. On this
day the report shows that Mr.. William
Price, secretary of the Spike Nail-mak-
ers' Association, complained of women
and girls being employed at making the
heavier sort of nails, as the work was
too hard for them, and ruinous to their
health. The nail makers, he said, were
a hard working class of people, and he
did not believe any slaves worked as
hard as those who made large spikes.
The average wages of the men were 12
to IA shillings q week. SO to $3.50. and
of the women A to 8 shillings. or 81 to
S1.25 q week. While he did not favor
prohibiting women from Matchmaking he
would restrict them from working iron
above a certain size.
Mr.. r. Juggins, representing the nut
and bolt trade. testified in regard to tho
organization of the men and the manne
of settling labor controversies, and snid
female labor had a tendency to reduce
wages all around. He said:
The married women brought their chill
dren to the factories and placed tssm in a
box on the hearth, covering them over TO
aUnn - A~A a,@- -al hs. 80
caution the children sometimes sustained
serious injuries. In other cases the chill
dren were placed in swings suspended from
the ceiling. and there they remained while
their mothers were working like black
smiths.
Mr.. f. Day. of the Amalgamated
Locksmiths' Society. thought the act
restricting the labor of children and
young persons to ten hours a day should
be extended to adults in the factories,
and he also complained that govern
ment contracts were given to employers
whose workmen only got les Cd, or
S4.12lo for g working week of sixty
hours.
This testimony, taken before a royal
commission. furnishes trustworthy
evidence in regard to labor and wages
in England. What would American
skilled laborers, workers in iron, think
of working for So to $3.50 per week and
having their wives work for 81 to 1925
a week in the factory, while their babies
hung in swings or lay in boxes, covered
over to prevent accidents' 1t is against
competition with such conditions and
such wages that a protective tariff is in
tended to guard.

CONDITION OF INDIANAPOLIS INDUSTRIES.

-
Every Monday morning the Journal
publishes a column or so of industrial
notes, showing the condition of the gen.
eral industries of Indianapolis and vi
cinity. In the last issue mention is
made of no less than nine new enter
prises. which have either just begun the
production of goO1s or are making prep
aration to do SO at an early day. These
are all important industries, which will
afford employment to a considerable
number of men and investment for q
large amount of capital in the aRgre-
gate. The Monday preceding, the in
dustrial notes mentioned four new in
dustries. These announcements are not
the result of any systematic
but are such as one of the Journals
staff picks up while looking after other
matters. Another noticeable feature
presented by notes relating to other In
dianapolis industries is the fact that
many of those which have been estab-
lished for years are now increasing their
production and extending their facilities
for tho manufacture of their goods.
Other paragraphs show that the sale of
the products of Indiana factories, mills,
etc., has been extended to Cuba under
the present reciprocity arrangement, and
to Mexico and Great Britain. One in
fers from this record of industry that
the capital and skill of Indianapolis are
turning out superior goods in their re-
spective lines. since large orders are re-
ported from different parts of the coun-
try. Another suggestive feature about
several of the new industries is that
they will utilize the products of the
farm and stimulate the cultivation of
crops which had little value until
the introduction of packing and can
ming. which has become such an enor-
nous industry in this country. In look
ing over the industrial notes for several
weeks one finds no record of n contrac-
ton in the general output of any factory
or shop, no discharge of men, no reduc-
ton of hours because of lack of work,
and, what is more important, no curtail-
ment of wages. The columns of the
Journal and those of local papers quite
generally throughout the State show a
like prosperous condition.
The Journal does not claim that the
protective tariff is entirely responsible
for this condition of the general indus
tries of the State, but it does. hold that
it has contributed largely to it. 1t gives
the American producer the home mar
ket, which is the largest and best in the
world, while it's reciprocity feature
gives the American producer an advan-
tage Over other producers in many for
eign markets. 1t maintains that the
Mckinley tariff has contributed to this
prosperous condition because countries
like England, which depend upon other
peoples for markets, present an oppo-
site record-idie or half-time factories.

unemployed men.

CLEVELAND vs.. JEFFERSON.

The Chicago Herald, whose DemOcra-
cy is of the rock-ribbed variety, criti-
cises the proceedings of the recent ban
quet of the Iroquois Club in that city on
the ground that the business of glOfify-
ing Cleveland was overdone. 1t says:
The Herald INDUCES in no serious crit
icism of the gentlemen who are response
BILE for the lroquOis Clubs banquet and the
accompanying demonstration in honor of
Mr.. Cleveland. IL is undoubtedly the priv
lege of Democrats to glOrify any party lead
er whenever they desire to do so. But there
Is o question of the pIopriety of converting
an alleged celebration Of Jefferson'5 ami
versary into o Cleveland class-meeting. 1t
affords n striking exhibition of the extrav-
agance Of the Cleveland sentiment. Among
those who held office under Mr.. Cleveland
O craZed devotion to him and his leadership
is TO an extent excus6ble. But all of tho
member of the Iroquois Club did not enjoy
an office while Mr.. Cleveland was Presi-
dent. and therefore 1t might have been ex-
pected that a few OF them would protest
against a paIpable violation of the proprie-
ties.
Here is an intimation that the MEM
bers of the club did not unanimously ap-
prove of converting an alleged celebra-
ton of JeffersOn's anniversary into a
Cleveland class-meeting and that, in a
mild way. they protested against the
cut-and-dried programme by which all
reference to other living Democrats was
excluded and the great and only Grover
was made out a bigger man than Thomas
Jefferson.
The Democratic party is in nothing so
happy as in its name. Although it has
changed front q thousand times, been
on all sides of all questions md whipped
the entire compass of political principles
from alpha to omega, it is still the Dem
ocratic party. This fortunate adher-
ence to a name gives it an appearance of
consistency and historic dignity that it
could never have acquired otherwise
and is far from being honestly entitled
to. The Democratic party of to-day is
no moro like that of Jefferson's time
than the locomotive of to-day is like one
of Jefferson's Ox-carts, yet the name is a
connecting link. On the principle of
idem sORdRs, it is stillthe grand old par
ty. it is a far call from Andrew Jack
son TO Horace Greeley and q long
stretch from Thomas Jefferson to Gro
YER Cleveland. but the Democratic
party has been able to make the straddle
anu it still lives. Time was that, when
the principles were gone the party died.
but not SO with the Democratic party.
Its name goes on forever. That alone
connects it with anything honorable in
the past and gives it an excuse Cor being.
We quite agree with the Herald that
the appropriation of JeffersOn's birthday
to the Qualification of Grover Cleveland
affords a striking exhibition of the ex-
