The English Elections.

Out of the 670 members of Par
lament 621 have been chosen,
leaving 40 yet to be, chosen. Of
those selected the government has
300 and the opposition 321, and in
those yet to be chosen the oppo-
sition expect to secure enough to
swell their majority to so, thus
securing the supremacy of Mr..
Gladstone and probably Home
rule for Ireland. The hearts of
all Americans who prize the
right of self government are with
Mr.. Gladstone in his efforts to Sc
secure local self-government for
Ireland and a greater liberty for
the people of England.
The popular vote is as follows
Government, 2,004,2 /; OPPOSE
tion 2,199,594.

H.tmakers Done witt, pro,ec,,on.

At a mass meeting of the Cloth Hat
and Capmakers' union in New York on
Juno Is, over TOO men, representing
twenty-six out of the thirty shops in the
city, discussed the grievance OF wage re-
auctions. 1t was said that during the
last year several reductions in their
wages at different times have made q
total reduction of 20 per cent, and that
during the past four months of the year
the best mon have been unable to earn
more than six dollars week. They will
make IN effort to get wages back above
starvation point.
Pitiable as Is the lot of these men. it IL
no worse than that of hatmakers else
where in this country since the McKin-
ley bill came their way. A few years
ago the hat factories Of Bloomfield, Wat
sessing and East Orange. N. j., were
prosperous and gave steady employment
to hundreds of hands, nearly all Of whom
voted for protection" The almost pro
hibtive duty on hattcrs' raw materials
has caused the business to dwindle, I'M
til now no mill in Bloomfield is running
on full time, and many of the employees
have sought work in other businesses.
The matters, being intelligent men, have
become enthusiastic tariff reformers and
are preparing to form q Cleveland club.

A Nut for moK,niey 10 Crack.


Mr.. Mckinley made his notorious old
tariff speech over again at the Mime
apolis convention. He is still pretending
that the for, gner pays the tariff taxes
and that protection simply taxes ''the
products OF. other nations" instead of the
products of our own. Mr. Mckinley,
however, has never answered the ques-
ton put to him by The World over and
over again: Why is it II the foreigners
pay the tariff taxes that the Fifty-first
congress was content with spending
billion dollars? Why did it not lavish
more Of the foreigners money on the
people of this country? Why did it not
wiring a more splendid sum out of the
manufacturers and merchandise Europe
for the payment of the governments ex-
penses and the Republican partys ex-
travagance? How can Mr.. Mckinley ex-
cuse this self restraint, which still leaves
some of the public burdens to be borne
by Americans? Will he not answer the
question now that he has repeated the
propositions Moreover. he might tell the
country why he even refrained from
raising enough to make up the deficiency
caused by the extravagance of the con-
gress In which he was the leader on the
floor OF the house of representatives

TIn pLAre WORKERS WAGES.


They MIST Re Rcdneed 81 A stonishfne
Greed Of The Manufacturers.
The great American manufacturers Of
tin plate are showing their hands sooner
than was expected. even by the greatest
sktptics of protection II was an
nounced from Pittsburg, June IL, that
AT tho conference between the tin
plate manufacturers and the scale com
nittee of the Amalgamated association
this afternoon, the latter were astounded
at call for reduction Of wages Of the
most highly skilled classes Of workmen
IN the tin plate and sheet iron industries.
This call for a reduction is in tho
face Of the assertion Of the manufac-
tnrers that the tariff put on tin plate by
the Fiftieth congress was necessary In
order that good wages might he paid
American workmen."
Think OF It'll Wages to be reduced so
soon in this great .infant" industry.
The foreigners, imported by Niedring-
haus and others to work in an Amer
lean" industry at American" wages.
are asked to accept lower wages. This
ought to be the straw that will break
projections" back, but perhaps the
matter can be patched up by the man
ufacturers who are never backward IN
coming forward with excuses for lower
wages. This same dispatch says chat
David B. Oliver. G. zug. J. II. Laugh
lin and other leading manufacturers
urged the acceptance Of the manufac-
turers scale on account, they said, OF
the depressed condition Of the iron
trade, inst as II iron was not also heav-
lily protected" and therefore entitled
to be in booming" condition.
1t was only on June Q that the "Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel Manufacture
ers.' the "Tinned Plate Manufacturers
association" and the National Associa-
ton Of Galvanized Sheet Iron Manufac-
turers" held meetings on the same day,
in the Same room, and elected the same
secretary. Those who know anything
about the matter know that the duty on
tin plate has been kept up and raised To
benefit not the tin plate makers, who
have never before existed, but the sheet
iron and steel men, both Of whom have
been making enormous profits out of the
duty on tin plate, which has kept up the
price Of steel sheets and Of galvanized
2iron-for roofing purposes.. It wasznot
strange, then, that they met together
and formed this three headed trust or
monster. The iron and steel manufac-
turers agreed to reduce wages in their
lines an average of IS or 20 per cent. 1t
was generally believed that the tin plate
men would not dare to exercise their
united power to reduce wages, at least
until after election, or certainly until
the tin plate bill had been discussed in
congress; but their greed and their
''gau" has exceeded the expectations Of
the most sanguine.
These ".McKinleyized" and trusted
Industries consider it their especial privi-
lege to worry wage carners and con-
sumers. What do they care for the feel
ings or sentiments Of the peoplea They
announced on June 2, 1902. that prices
will not be touched on in any way
And yet The Iron Age OF June l8 says
that the prices of sheet iron have been
advanced and that the prices Of galvan-
lied iron are firiner. gnd in few in
stances higher.
