AS TO FALL RIVER.

There isn't going to be any trouble in
Fall River over the 5S-hour bill, This
measure was passed at the instance Of
professed advocates of the labor inter-
ests, to reduce the hours of labor so as
to provide work for more hands. The
customary remark in pushing such
measures Is that even IL the effect of
shortening hours is to reduce wages, the
greatest good of the greatest number re-
quires it to be done. But there
is frequently kick when 1t
comes to fulfillment. Wageworkers
do not rs a rule like to see their daily
earnings reduced, even for 80 excellent
an object as reducing the hours of toll.
And manufacturers as naturally object
to bearing themselves all the cost of
such legislation, from which they do
not get the benefit. A considerable
trouble has arisen in New Bedford
from this cause.
In Fall River, however, the cotton
mills are doing good business just at
present, and everybody feels in good
humor. The result 10 that the Cotton
Manufacturers Association has unso-
licited advanced the rates of piece work
1-3 per cent, so that the workers can
make as much in fifty eight hours as
formerly in sixty, while "time hands"
are to be paid as before. This action is
liberal and has won the gratitude of the
employees, whose wages were already, it
is fair to remember, far higher than the
free trade scale of Great Britain.

OFF THE RACK.

The Southern and Western Democrats
can now go home and see to their fences.
For days past they have been In a
cruelty embarrassing position their
hopes of denomination depended abso-
lutely on the votes they should cast for
silver, but while they stayed to vote
political rivals Were destroying their
chances with their constituents quite
as effectually. Amos j. Cummings
has been effusively sympathetic in the
Sun. ''The desks of members" he
wrote, "are strewn with kilograms flom
leaders in their districts, urging them
to come home. as their political. future
depends upon it. A few have needed
the warning and deserted. The major
ity, however, are made of sterner stuff.
They remain on guard in Washington.
All of the free silver Kentuckians are
here. North Carolina. South Carolina,
Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Texas,
stand in line. Tennessee and Arkansas,
with host of Missourians, are here,
The Illinois men and the Hoosiers of
Indiana do not falter."
Fate has been unkind and no mistake.
Needed at home to drive out strange po-
litical cattle and put up the bars, but
forced to stay to fight against their ma
tional platform and resist the pleadings
of their Presidential candidate! Truly
the breasts of the chivalry must have
been rent with contending emotions.
But it's all over. They have defied
Chicago, defed Cleveland and can wipe
the perspiration from their manly
brows and HE them gaily southwark to
meet the "well done, good and faithful
Democrats" of their constituents; "re-
ceive, if somebody hasn't euchred you,
your denominations, and go back and
pass the bill next winter"
The News congratulates the silver
men.

This table shows what an enormous
increase over the previous years exports
our breadstuffs enjoyed last year, due
in. part to the unexampled demand
abroad and in part to wider market to
the southwark brought about by
reciprocity arrangements. The vast
increase in the sale of corn-almost as
great an increase as in the case Of wheat
proves that one of our most important
products last year has gained victory
over old world prejudice, the effect Of
which may well be lasting.
Not less striking is the report of the
foreign sale Of our beef, hog and dairy
products for June and for six months
previous, which shows grand total of
sie,0aS, ,547 for the month, and S67, $685.
202 for six months, rs against $8, 1927
in June, 1901, and $59, ,631 for six
months previous.
A healthy and normal increase of 13
per cent. in the exports Of beef, hog and
dairy products, and the astounding
growth of 13i per cent. in an already
vast valuation of cereal exports certainly
Indicate that our farmers are prosper
ing. But the home market, secured by
the protective tariff, is worth vastly
more to them than even this great ex-
port trade, and is increasing steadily and
rapidly. All of which may interfere
somewhat with Weaver and Fields can
vass this year.

TILL DECEMBER.

The quietus was administered BY the
Republicans to the Free Coinage bill in
the House yesterday for the present
session. The debate and the vote on
the rule which was brought in by the
Democratic leaders to secure its passage
brought out two things clearly. Free
silver men are I'm a majority in the
Democratic party since as well as before
the Chicago convention; this is point
number one. Point number two is even
more significant; such opposition as was
developed in the party to the Stewart
bill was in large measure insincere, the
veriest sham to deceive the East until
after the election.
Patterson of Tennessee was frank
enough or indiscreet enough TO acknowl-
edge in so many words the lie and the
cheat that had been arranged. "It was
expedient," he said, ''for the Democratic
party to vote down the free silver ques-
ton for the present, and TO send it to
the baggage train until after November" I"
He did not take the trouble to pretend
that the Democracy Is permanently op-
posed TO free silver. II a postponement
could be had until the Democratic ses-
sion, vote on the bill next winter
would then be, he said. "fair and wise"
But until after Cleveland had made his
campaign speeches the real sentiments of
the Southerners and the Westerners must
be concealed. This is not just the way to
put IL; he was In favor of relegating the
question Ito the people," But the peo-
pie have spoken. Patterson himself was
elected ON free silver platform, and
made ardent free silver speeches during
the campaign. Pierce Of Tennessee. his
colleague, and familiar with his record,
was honest enough to denounce the fraud
and call upon the silver men to stand to
their guns.
On the motion 10 adopt the resolution
OF the rules committee. giving yesterday
and to-day 70 the Stewart bill, ils Demo
Gratis and Q Third party mon who, for
the purposes Of practical politics are all
Democrats, voted on the free silver side.

THE woRLD's FAIR QUESTION.

In yesterdays Senate the Worlds
Fair provision of the sundry civil bill
was passed with two amendments, one
requiring that the fairs gates be closed
ON Sunday, the other that no liquor be
sold upon the grounds. Both provi-
sions are calculated seriously to embar-
rass the directors of the fair. Both
questions might with propriety have
been left to the directors. In both re-
spects the Senate acted against the I'M
doubted opinions of a majority Of its
members. 1t was species of hypoc-
risy which grave deliberstive body
should not countenance or practice.
The Sunday closing question has two
sides. One side the Senate has heard by
petition and remonstrance. The other
side will be heard when from every
worlSingman and woman within fifty
miles of Chicago and from good pro-
portion of others there comes a protest
against closing the fair on the one day
in the week when they could possibly
attend. II II was thought necessary to
give the fair attendants one day Of rest
IL would have been possible TO adopt the
French plan and close on Monday. Or
that compromise might better have been
made which proposed that the grounds
be opened on Sunday, but that the en-
gines be stopped and mechanical work
reduced 20 minimum. This sensible
action would have proceeded on the

precedent established by the opening on
Sunday Of art galleries In New York,
PROVIDENCE and elsewhere.
The anti-liquor clause is much less OBJ
jectiouable from the American point OF
view, hut nine-tenths Of our British Wis.,
itors and ninety-ni one hundreths OF
those from the continent win find 1t i'm
possible to dine upon the grounds with
ont beer or wine, especially considering
the deadly character of the Chicago
water. This will mean considerable
money loss to the exposition.
In brief, the Senate seems to have dis
pleased the workingmen, knocked big
hole in the profits of the fair, caused
foreign visitors great annoyance, and
delighted the outside saloon contingent,
which sells rum seven days in the week.
The House has still word to say on the
subject.

THE AMALGAMArED ASSOCIATION

=
Among the labor organizations of the
country the record of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel workers
has been that Of q well. balanced aud
most conservative body. Its troubles
with employers have not been numerous
and its growth has been steady and
rapid.
1t was in 1858 that the work Of organ
izing the iron men began with the for
nation of lodge of the Pittsburg bail
ers and puddlers under the name Of the
United Sons of Vulcan. The Ma
tional Forge was organized In
1852. The Associated Brotherhood
Of Iron and Steel Rail Heaters followed
in 1872, and upon their heels came other
unions with equally long and awkward
names. The fusion OF all the iron
unions into the Amalgamated Associa-
tion was accomplished in 1875, with
John Jarrett at its head. Homestead
became the scene OF the annual confer
ences, when the sliding scale was ad-
justed by committees from the mills
and the men, The membership of the
Association at the present time does not
fall far short of 10000.
Since its affiliation with the American
Federation OF Labor, the association has
found disputes of one kind and another
increasing upou its hands IL Ia a lpss
conservative, perhaps becahse less ho-
mogeneous, body than it used to be; less
after the model of the highly successful
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
and with more of miscellaneous Inem-
bership like the Knights of Labor. It is
not any the less strong and may not be
the less wise for this reason, but it is
probably less trusted by employers.

IT may be doubted seriously If the
labor organizations which are passing
resolutions praising the Homestead
strikers for the bloody riot of last
Wednesday are advancing the cause
they have at heart. Both sides to the
wretched controversy made grievous
mistakes, and 1t remains to be seen
which will suffer the more severely.
Precisely the same result which would
have followed the introduction of the
hated Pinkertons seems now likely to
come about-a general strike in all the
Carnegie mills. The situation is worse
than it need have been, however, by the
lives that have been sacrificed and the
embitterment of feeling which makes it
less likely than before that the company
will yield even to the most reasonable
demands. The men have brought down
upon themselves the strong hand of the
law, and what have they gainedG 1t is
not by the Winchester that labor dis
putes can be settled.

capitalization of one army of workingmen

as hostages. the calling out of the
troops, the blowing up of bridge to
prevent the passage of troops and the
open threat of blowing up the mines,
there are presented all the elements of a
beautiful border drama. Such things
are rather expected in the farther West.
