NOMINATIONS
FOR PRESIDENT,
BENJAMIN HARRISON, OF Indiana.
FOR vICE-PREsIDENT,
WHITELAW REID. Of New York.

AS CHAIRMAN ROC ERS SEES Us.
Chairman j. 81. Rogers of the Tin Plate
Makers association of Wales has got home
from business tour in the United States,
and what he has to say is of interest on
both sides of the water. A reporter asked
him: "Supposing Mr.. Cleveland were elect
ed, what do you think would be the effect
of his policyl" He replied: think the
result would be that the duties would be
generally lowered and that wages would
consequently fall. The working classes
would, of course, not be willing to remain
without work, and manufacturers would
have to reduce wages to enable them to
compete successfully with other countries.
Wages in America are at present about
double what they are here, but if America
adopted free trade they would probably be
reduced one-half and become equal to the
wages paid here. The question of free
trade or protection in America is, there
fore, of far more Importance to the work
ing class of America than it is to any class
in this country. In America the working
class earns high wages at present, and the
cost of living out there is 30 little more
than it ia here that they have much greater
comfort and are able to save more rapidly.
The reporter reminded Mr.. Rogers of
the statements that had often been made
during the last twelve. months, as an argu-
ment to prevent the tin platers of Wales
from emigrating to America, that the rent
and the cost of living were much greater in
the United States than in his own country.
Mr.. Rogers replied that as matter of fact
suoh was not the case. True, house rent
was higher in the United States, but the
necessities of life to the working men AID
their families were very cheap. The best
class of clothing was also more expensive,
but that for working men was not. The
weather was exceedingly hot during his
visit, and one of the first things Mr..
Rogers did was to purchase a cool, thin
which he didn't think he could get 30 cheap
in his own country. Referring to the cost
of living, Mr.. Rogers instsnced the case of
a Llanelly tin plate worker, for whom he
had found employment, who told him that
not only was he in position to live COM
fortably, but he was able to send about
half of his wages to his family at home.
We call the attention of the workingmen
of New Haven to these unprejudiced state
ments of Mr.. Rogers. He thinks that pro-
lection is a good thing for American work
ingmen and that free trade would reduce
their wages one-half.

A BELGIAN DEVICE.

During the last few years the labor
troubles in Belgium have been many and
serious. Strikes have been frequent and
costly, and they have been accompanied
with much violence. As one result of the
agitation what is called "the Higher Coun-
Gil of Labor" has come into existence. The
object of the new body is to form perma-
nent center for the local councils of indus
try and labor, and to act as the intermedi-
ary between them and the government; it
will also advise the authorities in regard
to labor legislation and labor questions
generally. 1t is composed of forty-eight
members, sixteen representing employers
and sixteen workmen; while the remaining
sixteen are selected for special knowledge
of economic questions, all being, in the
first instance, nominated by the crown.
They are appointed for four years, after
which time it is hoped that the orgauiza-
ton of the local labor councils will
have improved SO as to be capable of
electing the representatives of the employ
ers and workmen. The members during
sessions are to receive francs day and
travelling expenses. The first subjects for
discussion are the application of the law
of 1889, regulating the work of women
and children, apprenticeships, technical
education, insurance against accidents,
etc. The names of the first members have
been published by royal decree; but it ap-
pears that the Socialists among tho work
men are not satisfied because they think
that the clerical element is unduly repre-
sented. Another Socialist has resigned
because his party, which is in the majority
in the local, is in minority in the higher
council.
The outlook for "the Higher Council
doesn't appear to be very promising. Its
working will, however, be watched with
deep interest, as will all attempts to solve
what is called the labor problem.

inheritance tax. The collateral inheritance
tax law in Connecticut is based upon that
of New York, but we believe the question
has never been raised in this State as to
the liability of insurance money to tax
alton under its provisions.
Some are learning. An agreement be-
tween the officials of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy and representatives. of the
employees of the road, by the terms of
which a substantial general raise in the
wages of the employees was granted, went
into effect Monday. A conference between
the officials and twenty-siI delegates, rep:
resenting every division of the "Q" sys-
ten, was held in the company's offices in
Chicago last week, at which a new scale.
favorable to the men, was agreed upon.
The labor representatives were not sent by
any order or association. They repre-
sented the employees of the road, and no
one else.
Of all the fool strikes that have taken
place this summer that of the four hundred
6mplOyoS VI LILO EooD0k WoRh5 ~ koohNy
Hook is apparently the most foolish. They
went out because the company adopted a
time register by means of which the exact
moment of their arrival and depar-
ture could be recorded. The men object
ed to this, and finding their objection dis
regarded, decided to stop work altogether.
The new system could not possibly work
injustice to any body, unless the men were
cheating their employers, an admission
which perhaps they would hardly care to
make. Nor could 1t have been in any way
inconvenient, nor have threatened their
personal rights. Nothing but obstinacy
and wrong-headedness can explain strike
for such a cause.
A methodical man died in Berlin a few
days ago. aged seventy-three. At the age
of eighteen he began keeping record,
which he continued for ffty-two years and
then closed with the words Omnia tentavi,
multa perspexi, nihil perfect. This book
showed that in ffty-two years he had
smoked 62S, ,7l5 cigars, of which he had re-
ceived 1902 as presents, while for the
remaining 5s5, ,02l he lad paid about s10,-

s5 pairs of trousers made. "A coats and
wsistcoats and Sc pairs of boots. Hsw
out 29S shirts and ''fronts" and 326 coll
lars. In tramfares he spent not far from
S42s. In fifteen years, according to his
bookkeeping, he had drunk 2s, 1856 glasses
of Bavarian beer, of which, however, 2l,-
261 were only small ones. For this beer
and sc, ,0S1 glasses of cognac and spirits he
spent 81, $50. He gave tips amounting to
S1,305.
