OUR Democratic friends of the free
trade and tariff reform type, find
little com fort in CommissionerPeck's
tariff figures, as affecting labor and
wages in New York. Some even go
so far as to charge, that David Ben
nett Hill is Peck's bad(?) boy, slyly
shying tariff brick, at Grover Cleve-
land.

Ayers Sarsaparilla is one of the few

INTENTIONAL ACCORD on SILVER

President Harrison informs Congress that il
is not compatible with the public interest to
publish at this time the correspondence on the
silver question, but adds that he has made and
will continue to make every effort to bring
about agreement of nations on the coinage Of
silver or its more extensive monetary use.
Congress can hardly wish to risk the publica-
ton of the correspondence at a time when the
policy and efforts of the Nation might thereby
be defeated. Nor has Congress the slightest
reason to suppose that the President can have
any motive TO keep back the correspondence
at this time except a regard for the public in
tereSt. II would obviously be 10 his advantage
personally, and to the advantage of his party,
TO make known the earnest efforts which have
been made to secure international agreement
on this subject and the measure of success
which those efforts have met. But for the
public interest the President would undoubtcd-
ly have embraced with gladncss an opportunity
to give full information of the negotiations
thus far.
simultaneously with the statement by the
President there comes from England the an
nouncement that the British Government has
consented to give hearing to representatives
of Chambers of Commerce and other CONNER
cial bodies which desire to submit reasons for
a change in the policy of Great Britain regard
ing silver. The dispatch states that the in
huental deputation from the Chamber of Com
merce and the commercial community" will be
received by Lord Salisbury, Mr.. Goschen and
Mr.. Bafour, and that the deputation will " Urge
the promotion of an international agreement
looking to unrestricted coinage of gold and
silver as a remedy for the embarrassment in
trade arising from the violent fluctuations and
uncertainty of exchange with silver-using coun-
tries" In plain terms this means that con-

WdGES RISING ~ WOOL MANUFACTURE.

UdGES RISING ~ UOOL MANUFACTURE.
The growth Of the woollen industry up to
the present time is very impcrfcctly set forth
by the census return of manufactures just pub
lishcd. TO appreciate the inadequacy of the
figures, it is only necessary to remember that
the industry did not begin its great start for
ward until the passage of the Dlnglcy and the
Mckinley bills during the year 1890. and was
seriously retarded through all that year by
the enormous imports of foreign goods in ad-
vance Of the change of duties in October. The
census year for manufactures terminated III
the first half of 1890, SO that the figures relate
10 wool consumed hands employed and work
done during the year before the great improve
mcnt began In fact. it covers the very twelve
months which may be regarded as the least
prosperous the industry has seen for long
time The results of the grave errors in the
tariff Of 1883 were growing harder to bear
each wear until the cnactmcnts of 1890 gave
relief.
On the other hand the previous census year,
lS79lS0, was period never surpassed for
activity in the whole history of the manufact-
urc. The demand for goods was extraordinary,
prices were high and most of the year ad-
vancing, the people were prospecting wonder
fully after the success of resumption in 1879,
and were able to consume more than ever be-
fore of the products of home industry. In
comparing lSS9-'9O with lS79-'S0, therefore,
as respects this industry, the worst year of ten
is contraStcd with the best year Of twenty.
The wages paid to all hands, men, women
and children in all branches of the woollcn
manufacture averaged 1923 annually in 1850
and S347 in 1890, Il gain of IS per cent This
is an Unexpectedly large Increase possibly due
in part to the reduction Of thousand in num-
Der of children in the mills of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ncw-Iorll and
Pennsylvania where three quarters of the
whole number of hands are employed. As a
countcrpoiSe it should be observed that the in
crease in number of female hands was greater
than in males, which would tend to lower the
average of wages for the later period Rcck-
oning according to quantity of secured wool
consumed, the increase in all branches was 20
per cent, indicating greater efficiency of labor
per hand at the later period.
The wages paid in all branches per pound
of secured wool consumed averaged 27.5 cents
in ls19-'s0, but had risen to 1871 cents in
1Ss9-'9O, an advance of 80 per cent. The
quantity of cotton consumed in the manufacture
Of hosiery and knit goods gained about 60 per
cent, while the consumption Of wool in the
same branch gained $50 per cent. In the man
ufacture of woollen and worsted fabrics the
consumption of wool increased from 23S,674.-
2Sl pounds to 2s3,049.4fS. or about Is per
