The granite-cutters' strike Is very costly
to the strikers. 1t is estimated that the
money paid in the past FIVE years for
union fees and strike assessments and the
lost wages, if paid 10 trustee and invested
at per cent, would enable them now to
buy the principal granite quarr,es in New
England and pay cash for them. A few
cents day contributed by each man in a
quarry would enable them, in a few years.
TO buy ont the plant and make their own
wages, without strike. The wages lost
by the present strike already foot I'D S.
100000. enough TO purchase half the lead.

A recent Washington City dispatch to
the Minneapolis Tribune says that the
president believes that
New York and Indiana will go Republican,
though admitting the Democracy will canvass
New York with confidence If New York,
Iowa and Connecticut will be counted for the
Republican ticket in advance, tho party could
spare ali doubtful Western states. Ii Cleveland
takes Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin

by means of fusion, Republicans will need to
carry Connecticut and Montana to win the
election. Give Harrison five OF the SIX new
states, in addition to al he carried four years
ago. and he will have forty-three more than a
majority in the electoral college The four
Northwestern states named. together with the
five Michigan districts, represent forty-four
votes, so that the Republicans would have to
gain one state. They could srare all those

When the Mckinley act placed S cents
duty dozen on Canadian eggs the cry
was raised by the Democrats that now the
poor man would have TO pay the cents
extra on every dozen eggs he purchased.
What is the result? So many were en-
couraged by this tariff 70 go into the poul-
try business that not only are eggs cheaper.
but the quality is greatly improved; and
whereas The poor man under free trade
would often find six stale Canadian eggs
out of dozen. now under tariff he re-
ceives at the same price good. fresh eggs

A WORTHY Selection,

slaughter SUI
It was with genuine pleasure that we heard of
the selection of Hon. John Arthur. of Seattle, a.
chairman OF the Republican county central
committee, a position he will doubtless fiji to
the entire satisfaction of the party in King
county. We consider Mr. Arthur a model man
one IN whom person can pace their entire
trust and never fear betrayal Thoroughly hon.
orable aud CONSCIENTIOUS in sll ais dealings his
name is reversd wherever the gentleman is
known. Under his faithful guidance We predict
that the Republican party Of King county will
achieve great victory this fall. Mr.. Arthur is
the rigat man in the right place.

The ablest Republicans in the United
States Senate opposed the anti-option bill
on the ground that future transactions in
grain or cotton are 50 necessary part OF
commercial trading that no broker would
undertake to deliver grain at New York or
Liverpool unless he could make use of
them. If he buys q million bushels of
market, he runs the risk of having the
price cut from under his feet long before
he can put his grain on sale. But if he
can sell an equal quantity of grain for flu
ture delivery, he is at least protected, for
then future drop in prices will enable
him to "cover" his future contract at a
profit sufficient to neutralize the loss on
his first transaction. No merchant in his
right mind would dream of shipping
grain on any other terms.
This is the view Of the New York Epen-
ing Post, of the Philadelphia Press, who
point out that the passage of such bill
would paralyze the exchanges of the coun-
try and create stagnation when it did not
precipitate disaster. The farmer is not, as
a rule, the sufferer. but the beneficiary Of
the present system of trading in futures"
In every great speculative grain move
ment the farmer has reaped the benefit
while the spectators pay for the wrecked
corner" The New York Erening Post
says:
That trading in cultures" sustains rather than
depresses prices in the average. nothing could
prove better than the advocacy OF the Hatch
bill by the Minneapolis millers, who naturally
wish TO see the grain at lowest prices. 1t is
worth observing that the single omission in the
list of commercial products subjected to the law
is flour. The miller or the miller's agent may
deal as he chooses in contracts to sell -four not
yet in existence; but people who sell grain to
the miller are forbidden any such right.
