CAPITAL REAPSTHE GAIN
REPUBLICANS AFRAID TO PRINT
OEIO'S LABOR REPORT.

1t Shows That the Employer Ia the
One Most Benefited by the McEin-
lsy Bill-Unprotected Industries the
Only Ones IN the State in Which
Wages Show au Increase.
New YORK, Oct. 30.-Ths democratic
national committee gives out for publica-
ton the following circular: Gov McKjn-
ley of Ohio and other republican leaders
have been devotinG much tune to the pre-
sentation Of alleged facts set forth in the re-
port OF Mr.. Peck, labor commissioned OF
New York, because said report, which is
made up from statements from employers
benefited by the protective tariff, shows
that wages have been advanced since the
Mckinley bill went Into effect. 1t would
appear that Gov. Mckinley has purposely
closed his eyes to conditions In
his own state, aud although aware
of ths fact that the report Of the labor COM
missioner of Ohio for the year 1891 shows
that labor has lost aud capital won by the
operation of the tariff bill which bears his
name, he has avoided any references to the
report, and was largely instrumental in
having the printing Of the report, which
was filed In his Office Jan. 16 delayed until
had the report electrotyped for over two
months, but has no power to print iJ. and
the republican printing commission, con-
sissiug OF the secretary OF state, auditor OF
state aud state attorney general, all repub-
llcans, have sought TO suppress the report
by failing to furnish the printer with paper.
AFRAID TO MAKE IT PUBLIC.
The reason for their desire 90 sup-
press the report is evidenced by les
missioner Mcbride for 1890 shows that
after deducting the cost of the mate
rial from the value of the manufactured
product the balance, which Is the joint
earnings of capital and labor, is divided as
follows: Capital 81. "a per cent and labor
62.39 per cent, whereas the report, which
has been suppressed for 1891, shows that
out of the joint earnings OF capital and la
bor, capital received Se.71 per cent. aud la
Dor 90. % per cent. This clearly indicates
that the operations OF the Mckinley bill Ia
Ohio has served TO increase the profits upon
capital aud to decrease the earnings OF la
Dor; in other words, ii veriRes the truth OF
the democratic claims that the republican
protective tariff system robs the many aud
enriohss the few. In 1890 the 30, 905 en-
ployes engaged in industrial es-
Establishments had average annual earn
ings of 1892 10. Ia 1891 the 932j7
employees had average annual earnings Of
St70 %, a loss, when compared with 1890,
Of Sg3 9b per empoye The coal miners in
1890 earned 1888 A., while in 1891 their
earnings averaged 1924 S8 per employe,
loss Of S3s 50. In noting the industries in
which wages have increased or decreased,
10 is q remarkable fact that the increase in
nearly every instance was In protected
industries, whereas protected industries,
sush as mining, agricultural works, engine
and boiler works, stoves and iron castings
etc, are credited with a reduction in
MhReh.

capes Death in the Flames.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 30.-Shortly after
o'clock this morning and but few min-
utes after the fireman at the pumping sta
sion of the Point Breeze gas works had
replenished his fires, people in the vicinity
were startled by the sound Of an explosion,
moment later flames shot up from the
river and pail of dense black smoke began
to gather over the wharves and shipping in
the hsrbor. An alarm of fire was turned
in and Immediately the air was filled with
the screams Of the whistles in the neighbor-
hood. the cries of sailors and the hoarss
summous OF officers on board the vessels
living at the wharves.
Tugs TO THE RESCUE.
Fortunately the Red Star tugs Juno,
Churchman and Mary Louise were lying
at the wharves with steam up. and they
went into service at once. The bark Felix
was surrounded by burning oil, which
foated out into the river, and before she
could be secured by the tugs she became
top heavy, careened to the opposite side,
and sank TO the bottom directly across the
channel

Phusdelphia's Union League Trying
TO Bolster up the High Tariff
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Oct. 30.-The Union
League Of Philadelphia has issued an ad-
dress to the business men of the country
showing the effect of the Mckinley tariff
law upon business and wages in Philadel-
phia. The address is based upon exact
statements of increase taken from the books
OF sixty-six different nnills and manu-
factories in Philadelphia. and the names Of
the firms are given. 1t states that ''the
percentage of increase In the amount of
wages paid for the first nine months of
1892 over the corresponding period of
1890, ranges from ~ per cent. to s. per cent.
Taking all these mills together the average
increase is 3S% per cent What is true OF
the mills reported ia substantially true Of
other lines. They include all, large and small
at random, and are fairly representative OF
the general industrial interests. The average
for a part may justly be taken as the aver
age for the whole. but to be sure to under
state the case rather than incur the risk of
any error Of exaggeration we may safely
put the average at % per cent The estab-
lisbments reported are chiefly in the textile
industries.
According 10 the census Of 1890 the aggre-
gate amount of wages paid by all of the es-
tablishments engaged in the textile indus
tries in PHILADELPHIA was S22, l47, 1884. The
increase Of 25 per cent. is the actual aggre-
gate increase of $3.50. .S46, which is the
amount that tho textile workers of Phla-
delphia are receiving in wages for the year
1892 under the Mckinley tariff law over and
above what they received for the year 1890,
before the Mckinley law went into effect
The address is signed by the campaign COM
mittoe of the league, OF which Charles
Emory Smith is chairman.

LAWYERS AGAINST TBA GOVERNOR.
Prominent democratic lawyers ssy that
the action OF the tax collector was In COM
pliance with the law ana that Mr.. Harvey's
claim is absurd, and that the action Of the
governor in removing the collector is on
par with his action in attempting to ap-
point Congressman Davidson 20 the United
States Senate after the constitutional elec-
tiou OF Senator Call by the legislature.
which appointment the United States Sem
ate unanimously repudiated The story
that congress will be- seriously asked to
throw out the electoral vote OF Florida is
stated to be nothing but a political sensa-
tion put forward for effect at a time when
public interest in the approaching election
is intense and the public mind easily ex-
oited. The Associated Press Is authorized
TO announce that there is no possible con-
dition here which can oast IA cloud upon

tremendous seas. The ships officers were

the resistless waves. The result was that
the widest confusion reiRned. The crowd
of passengers and lascars aboard entirely lost
their heads. The boats quickly filed with
water and we're swept away before any att
tempt TO lower them could be made. Many
of the passengers were too III to make any
effort for their own safety. Others rushed
to the deck and clambared on the bridge in
the vain hope of escape, but the waves

New YoRK, Oct. 30.-Ths democratic
national headquarters gives out the follow
Ing; Gov. Thomas c. Jones OF Alabama
before leaving this city for home said, re-
garding the campaign in AlRbamA: There
is no earthly doubt about Alabama going
for Cleveland by a handsome ma
jority. The manipulations OF Chris
Magee, in view Of the Lakeview
fusion, have removed all doubts
on the part OF the democrats who supported
ioally. Az least 90 per cent. of the demo-
Gratis who voted for Kolb in the state cleo
ton have become disgusted at the subse-
quent maneuvering OF himself aud his
friends and have returned to she democratic
fold. In our state election no one doubted
that the regular ticket would be elected by
an overwhelming majority. There we're
opposing democratic tickets in many coun-
ties. aud the regular democrats, TO aid their
county ticket, often swapped votes for the
Kolb state ticket. The regulars lost in this
way some 10000 votes OF men who were
democrats and who would not have voted
against the state ticket IL they would in
anywise endAnger 1t. The change in effect
in November as compared with the state
election, from this cause alone, VIII snow
difference Of at least 80 900 in favor OK eI-
President Cleveland. II Is impossible for
the republican managers TO unite the
negroes and whites in support OF a fusion
ticket. The outrageous attempt to uee the
federal election law TO intimIdste the demo
Gratis has had a contrary effect and has
aroused the people a they have not
been for years. Then our people pros
pered moro under ex-Presidsnt Cleveland's
administration than at any time since the
war. We need confidence to still further
develop our state, and the business interests
are therefore taking an unusual deep in

doubt chat Alabama will be solid for the
