Bad for Cleveland.

The cause of tariff reform or, more
specifically, free trade, has received
staggering blow from Charles F. Peck,
commissioner of labor statistics in New
York. Mr.. Peck has been investigat-
ing the effect of the tariff on labor and
wages in that state, and he finds that it
has been wholly beneficial. The year
previous to the beginning of the opera
ton of the Mckinley law-from Sep
TENDER l, 1889, to September l, 1890
is compared with the year following.
The facts were gathered from state
ments made by wholesale manufacture
ers in response to circulars. What
gives the report unusual significance
and Importance is the facts that Mr..
Peck is a democrat, having been APP
pointed to his present Office by Mr.
Cleveland himself when the latter was
governor in 1888, and that he began his
investigation believing that it would
reveal a condition of things damaging
to the protective theory. The commits
sioner summarizes his analysis of the
returns as follows:
From the tables it appears that there
was net increase in wages of 6,377, 1926. 90
in the year 1891, as compared with the
amount paid in 1890, and net increase of
production of $31 ,3l5, 1868 in the year
1891 over that of 1890. A simple analysis
of this table further demonstrates the in
teresting fact that OF the 81 industries COW
cred n per cent of them show an increase
either of the wages or product, or both, and
that there were no less than SO TIT instances
of individual increases of wages during the
same year. While the industries are but
CT in number the total trades represented
amount to 1,121, and give employment to
2S5,0OO working men and women. OF the
CT industries included 70 per cent show an
increased average yearly earning in the
year 1891, while the total average increase
of yearly earnings of the 285,000 employees
was S23.1l. The average increase of yearly
earnings OF the employees in the 81 trades
showing an increase was $43,96 in 1891 as
compared with 1890"

the number Of strikes occurring in the

George William Curtis.

1t was with surprise that the country
heard of the death, on Wednesday of
last week, of this polished gentleman
and finished scholar. He died at his
home on Staten Island, and the &C
cepted report is that dropsy was the
fatal disease. His last hours were inn
talked intelligently until few minutes
before his death, speaking particularly
of his editorial work. AT the very last
he seemed to forget his surroundings,
and, raising himself in his chair, he
spoke for some minutes on civil service
reform, the cause most dear to him in
his later years. AS ne was speaking,
his head sank to his breast, and all was
over. The funeral was on Friday, Rev.
John w. Chadwick of Brooklyn con-
Quoting the service. The remains were
placed in the family vault in the Mora
Wan cemetery at New Dorp.
The death of Mr.. Curtis leaves a
place which cannot be filled. He was
unique man, one who combined a
larger number of the best qualities per-
haps than any man of his time. He
was scholar and an orator, and on the
lecture platform he had no superior in
the felicity of his utterance or the grace
of his manner. AS an editor, he wrote
upon political topics in Harper's Weekly
and upon social and literary themes in
his department of the Magazine with a
charm which compelled admiration for
the rare skill of the work and love for
the personality behind it. He devoted
the best culture at his command to the
practical questions of everyday life,
thus setting an example which will
make its influence felt for years But,
best Of all, he was personally man who
cherished the highest ideals of char
acter through long life, while exhibit
ing the utmost charity toward those
who fell far short of his standard. AL
though having intense convictions on
almost every question, he was uniformly
moderate and fair in his expression.
If American institutions have produced
more rounded men, or mon of truer
culture, they have been very few.

The Result.

At this writing, Wednesday noon, the
size of the vote and the details of the
result in yesterdays election cannot be
ascertained definitely. The methods of
the new ballot law retard the operation
of counting the votes, and the returns
arrive very slowly. In Washington
county the entire republican county
ticket is elected. Owing to defective
understanding of the way to vote under
the new law, many voters have omitted
to &C. mark cross" to the right of the
second candidate for senator or assistant
judge of either political party, so that
the second senator or the second as
sistant judge, in the order of printing
runs considerably behind the ticket
Thus in this county, by reason of this
difficulty in the new method, Mr..
Brooks vote for senator is made to ap-
proximate so closely to that of Mr..
Pitkin that the former escapes defeat
by narrow margin; and when the vote
for judges is canvassed, it will probably
appear that Mr.. Jones has a narrower
majority than Mr.. Lance, his associate
on the ticket. The election of Mr..
Howe as sheriff is assured, in spite of
scratching " in several towns.
The returns from the state at large
are exceedingly meager, but they indi-
cate falling off in the vote and a low
ering of the republican majority. The
legislature will contain smaller num-
Der of democrats than that of 1890,
that party losing two out of the five it
had from Washington county at the
last election. The elections thus far
reported indicate house strong in
ability and character.

President Harrison's letter of accep-
lance was given to the press on Mon
day. 1t is quite long, and, as was to
be expected, it is an able paper. The
president discusses all the leading issues
of the campaign, and whatever he
touches he makes palmer than it was
before. 1t is one of the preside nt's
happy faculties that he can grasp the
essential point of question rather
more firmly than do most of the more
brilliant public men of both parties.
There is great deal of common sense
in President Harrison.
The letter begins with the remark
that elf the policies of the administra-
ton have not been distinctively and
progressively American and republican
policies, the fault has not been in the
purpose but in the execution" Then
follows a review of what has been done
by the present administration, the
president first referring to the fact that
at present all our money is national
and that the democratic party proposes
to go back to state banks. "Only those
who, in the years before the war, ex-
perienced the inconvenience and losses
attendant upon the use of such money
can appreciate what return to that
system involves "-such is his comment
on this proposition. Under the law
subsidizing American steamships six
teen such vessels have been built in
American ship-yards, and one of the
finest steamship lines ahoat will soon
fly the American flag.

Senator Proctor has received the fol-
lowing letter from ex-senator Ed
munds, dated Courmayeur, Italy,
August Is:
Ny Dear Sendtor.-I thank you very
much for your kind letter of the 4th inst
You can hardly realize the pleasure one
feels, so far away from home and friends,
to receive tidings from your native land.
At this distance our great republic is
one single object of affection-an unit of all
the forces of human progress and happiness
of which man is capable-just as a distant
mountain which has ON its side the little
house of the travelling dweller looks to him
as if it were his own home though he can
not see his own house or farm. So, here,
our republic looks to me- And when
have seen-now for three months--the state
of the people in Europe, l am the more
glad that / am citizen of the United States
and a republican. That our definite and
vigorous protection of the labor of our own
national family, farmers, artisans, manufac-
turers and all, works largely and in every
way to the general prosperity, no one who
is able to see and make comparisons here
can fail to notice. l am very glad to hear
of the denomination of President Harrison
1t was right, and it was due TO him, to our
party and to the steady well-being of the
country that he be elected, and hope that
all republicans and Independence am
both-of whatever shade of opinion or
wish, will exert themselves to that end.
OF course we cannot expect that those Of
our fellow citizens who think that foreign
trade and foreign industry is better for us
than home work and home trade will help
us. And we shall win. / am sorry that
the necessity that compelled US to come
abroad will not admit of my giving my vote
to the peoples cause but l rejoice that in
Vermont 1t is not needed save to add one
more number to the great majority that
hope our state will give in September as
we'll as in November. Our dear old COM
monwealth is small in space and in num-
bers, but in the solidarity of her intelligent
opinion is a great moral force which every
citizen should help to make so emphatic in
the September election, that it will be felt
in every part of the republic. AS you know,
my dear senator, l can say all this without
the possibility OF being thought BIASED by
ambition or resentment. Out of the great
current of active politics, l am still proud
to be citizen and a Vermonter, and TO
speak as such. Pray write me as often as
| you can find time to comfort far-off friend
and constituent. Always yours,
GEORGE #. EDMUNDs.

Eight Thousand Flowers on the Table.

1t must take nearly half an acre of
glass to cover the flowers of the White
House conservatory. 1t keeps two men
busy all the time to take care of it, and
the finest of all kinds of flowers from
orchids to roses are in bloom here. There
are broad india rubber plants which
are worth from $50 to 800 apiece, and
there are some flowers which are abso-
lutely worth their weight in gold. On
the night of White House dinner or
reception the whole mansion is deco
rated with flowers, and at one state
dinner not long ago there was floral
piece on the table which used 5000 flow
ers in its making
At dinner to the supreme court 1900
flowers were used to make a temple of
justice, and at the last diplomatic recep-
ton the mantels of the parlors were
banked up with flowers, and at another
time they were covered up with i'm

Note and Comment.

THE governor of the colony of New South
Wales, in his speech at the opening of the
colonial parliament, stated that since the
passage of the protection tariff in March
last the area of land under cultivation in
the colony had increased twenty-five per
cent.
Mr.. CHARLES f. PECK, Commissioner of
Labor Statistics in the state Of New York
has published report which seems to be
causing a considerable political disturbance.
According to Brother Peck under the Nc
Kinley tariff wages have increased, strikes
have been fewer, and prosperity prevails
more than ever before among the wage
earning people. Whether Mr.. Peck's con-
illusions are true or not we are not able to
say but we trust they are true. We like to
see everything improving and happiness on
the increase.-Ne,C York sun.
EX-SENATOR PLArr took the trouble to go
several miles to call on President Harrison
at Mr.. Whitelaw Reid's farm. This ought
TO satisfy even the exacting democrats, who
have been so much concerned about Mr..
Platt There is no information yet that
Senator Hill has any intention to visit Mr.
Grover Cleveland. If he does do so he
may take along a special copy of Labor
Commissioner Peck's report to demonstrate
to Mr. Cleveland that there must be some
mistake about the tariff issue. PhHddelphid

FREE TRADE builds up a few great i'm
porting cities on the sea shore, and creates
millionaires in foreign trade. 1t depopu-
lates the rural districts, and has nothing but
lip-service to offer those who toll for their
daily bread. 1t would give to the latter the
dearest cost of living and The seventy-seven
per cent less of wages which free trade in
England offers to those who labor 1t al
ready rejoices at every calamity which
grieves home industries, and would make
our imports always to exceed our exports,
keep us always in debt and always poor.
Republicans believe that our government
should have great and noble purposes, be-
yond the mere power to levy and collect
taxes. Senator Morrill,, in North american
ReUielo.
THROUGHOUT the state of Indiana the party
is characterized by an earnestness which is
better than wild enthusiasm. Nowhere is
there lack of interest. Never has there
been less of local dissension. All of the
district and county conventions have been
characterized with harmony. There has
not been so much as threat of the bolt of
a local ticket in the ninety-two counties.
Not only is there an active official organiza-
ton in every county, but there are hun
dreds of clubs doing excellent service. Con-
gressional nominations have been made in
all except one or two districts, and the men
who have been named for candidates are
popular and are already making canvasses.
So far as the president is concerned, he is
stronger to-day with the forceful and
thoughtful men of Indiana than he was four
years ago, because they feel that his con-
spicuously statesmanlike administration has
reflected great credit upon Indiana They
will see to il that man who has thus hon
ored Indiana shall not fail in his own state.

state during the same two years, and it
was found that in 1890 there were 1879
more than in 1891. Fifty-three per
cent of those occurring in the latter
year were in the building trades, which
have nothing to do with the tariff. The
commissioner says his work was entirely
partisan, and he courts the most
careiul examination of it. In au ex-
planatory letter he says: " certainly
am not going to distort figures to boil
ster up any preconceived theory that l
may have had or TO deceive the public
in the support of one candidate or au-
other. My report is absolutely cor
rect" The Cleveland democrats are
fearful that the Hill faction has encour.
aged the commissioner in giving out
the report at the present time, when it
is likely to do great harm TO the Cieve-
land canvass. There is no doubt that
the Hill men are chuckling over the
position in which it puts the whole free
trade element. However that may be,
the report shows beyond question that
protection in New York state has been
good thing for manufacturers and en-
ployes alike. 1t has put the whole
democratic party in CONSERVATION, and
it undoubtedly will influence thousands
of democrats to vote the republican
ticket in November.
