Mr.. POUDERLY AND THE DEMOCRA -.

Mr.. POUDERLf AM iHE OE"ON
Mr. Powderly does not often engage in po-
litical discussion. But the unwarranted use by
the Democratic Committee of some paragraph
from a recent article by him impels him 10
reply in a most trenchant letter which Is copieo
to-day Small appreciation he shows Tor the
Democratic National Committee, or Tor It's
chairman, Mr.. Harrity, whom he helped TO make
Secretary of State in Pennsylvania, and he
nointedly remarks that the State 'seems to
,un along quite as accurately and safely with
ont his presence" since he devoted the time
and abilities which the State had employed u
the work of party committee IN New iorn'
Mr.. Powderly then observes that this same
Democratic chairman defeated the Will OF Inc
people, by opposing Constitutional ConVeh-
ton. which would have been able to " dethrone
the imperial Reading combine that insoently
slams the State into silence through its cowardiy
or worse officials" the aforesaid officials IN
Gliding Mr. IIarrity, being conspicuous Demo-
Gratis. This combination, which he denounces
as the "enemy of American labor" Is sup
norted and upheld by the Democratic Natiohal
Committee" Mr.. Powderly charges. and he re-
cites his reasons for believing that Governor
pattison as well as Secretary Harrity Is the
servant of the combination.
Mr.. Powderly challenges the Democratic
party to show whether it means to be the party
of the people, and then recites not ONLY us de-
fence of this Coal Trust the very worst Zoe
American labor has to contend against pu'
its National platform, " every sentence OF Whlch
was intended to catch votes" and particularly
the votes L" of workmen who let their thinking
out for Others to do" He notes the " dishonest
declaration in favor of wildcat banks by the
Democratic platform, and as TO the claim that
the Democratic party is " the party OF the poor
man., observes that if he votes that ticket he
will never be anything else than poor man.
II is a pungent letter, and the distinguished
leader of the Knights of Labor has rarely put
on paper stronger reasons for opposing and
dcspising the demagogues who beg the votes
of workingmen while fighting against every
interest for which woKingmen care. His
words will have weight, not only in Pennsyl-
vania, but wherever organized labor has sin
cere and earnest defenders.

ERJTIsH And AMERICAN WAGES

Free Traders arc fond of denying that labor
is. on the whole, better paid in this country
under Protection than in Great Britain under
Free Trade. In the face of vast accumula-
ton Of facts they persist in these denlals. But
now the British Board of Trade joins other
statistical authorities in dcmoliShIng the cause
Of Free Trade in this country by its elaborate
official reports of the wages paid in factories,
mines gas and water works and public en-
nlovmcnts. These show that the highest wages
paid to mer alone in any OF the occupations
arc nowhere near the average paid in this coun-
try 10 men, women and children. In the police,
Gas works and road employmcnts there has
bocn an advance during the last few years. so
that the British rates now officially published
arc not quite 80 high as those at present paid.
Hut owing to the general depression of manu-
features it is probable that the rates paid in
nearly oil the occupations are but little, II
any higher now than they were when tho
statistics just published by the Board were
collected.
The highest wages paid to men in any of the
occupatons mentioned in the Boards report
are Sc G2 weekly in lacemaking, but boys get
50 Of. women 81 0S and girls 81 80. Con-
siderlng the proportion IL edcn cWpioycu, INC
average for all who are engaged in that manu-
facture is but SO 10 per week. Yet it is but
n few days since the report OF the Massachu-
setts Labor Bureau was published, showing an
advance of 1865 per cent in amount OF wages
maid in 1891 compared with 1890, and an
average for men, women and children in all
employments of SAL 80 yearly. This means
an average of $S 80 each week But little
earlier the NewYork report showed an advance
of about 5 per cent in 1891, and an average
for men, women and children in all employ
ments of S45I 80 yearly. The rate in these
two States with their vast manufacturing de-
yelopment fairly establishes the current rate
for the older portions of this country where
wages are naturally lower than in the moro
recently settled States.
The wages paid to women in the British
cotton manufacture are somewhat higher than
those above mentioned-namcly, SO II per
week. against SO IL IL for men, SO ~ for
boys and 81 SO for girls, and the average for
all, allowing for the proportions of each en-
ployed, is about 80 "a per week which is
again far below the average for all occupations
in Massachusetts, or New-York. In the British
woollen mills men average 80 90 weekly, boys
81 o6 LIZ, women 80 22 and girls 81 SO. 90

de wages actually are

This statement shows that in the police
where men only are employed, the average OF
British wages is only SO so, which is far be-
low the average of SO 50 for men, women ana
children in Massachusetts,. The rate PAID 10
men in British gas-worlis is the same, 80 o.
but a few boys are employed at ~ 9s. In
two other employments exclusively for males
and in four others not already mentioned, max
ing eight in all, the wages of the men are over
SO Dor week, while in sixteen occupations the
average for men alone is below that rate, In
five of them below IS per week, and in one
metalfcrous mines, the average for men Is
only 81 OF per week. How would American
workers in mines enjoy British wages? How
would American workers of any class relish
the prospect of direct and unchecked competi'
ton with workers receiving such wages as
Free Trade gives?

THE INDIANA APPORTIONM DECISION

The Republican contention that the act
rassed by the last Legislature rapport ioning
thc legislative districts is unconStitutlona and
void Is materially strengthened by the recent
decision in the Indiana gerrymandcr cases.
The Indiana cases are analogous 10 the one
which is uonding in Ncw-Yolk, so far as their
leading features are concerned. In all of them
the Legislatures aimed primarily not % reap
norton so as to deal as Justly as possible with
all the voters. They simply reaprortioned for
potics-sO as 20 gain an unlawful partisan ad-
vantage These gerrymanders have been char
acterized as conspiracies against the rights OF
the reople and that is precisely what they arc.
BALLOT reform will not have accomplished its
mission until some scheme is devised which
will render gerrymanderng an impOssibility
There is one paragraph in the Indiana de-
cision in which certain essential truths that
must govern In dispOsng of such controversies
as those in question are stated with great clear
ness and vgor. This is the paragraph:
OF course exact equality is not expected required
and is perhaps not possible but substantial equality
Of apportionment Is required wherever possible. and
nothing less than this will fulfil the constitutional
command. ApportlODment Is the power granted, and
not Acknowledgement. The Constitution does not re.
quire an mpracticabe impossible thing, but 1t has
certainly not been demonstrated that such appor-
tIonment the Constitution does require Is either I'm
practicable or impossible "There can be no legislative
discretion under the Constitution 10 give county OF
less population than another greater representation

THAT Is WHAT RICHARD CROKER SAID ABOUT
GROVER CLEVELAND.
From The New.York sun, June 10, 1892.
The entire New York State delegation Is now here
Every one Of them Is convinced that Cleveland would
stand show OF carrying the Empire state The
delegates who expressed these sentiments are men OF
experience, and have been In tine forefront OF many
a fray. All are enthusiastic for David b. I'LL. Big
Chief Croker followed his previous interview with
these words today: I'VE have nothing against
Cleveland only the Democrats OF New-iork don't
want him-that's all. Mugwumps and Democrats are
different kinds OF animals. They don't mix well, you
know The nomination OF Cleveland would simply
mean the destruction Of the Democratic Organization
as it now exists In the state or New-lork. Fairchd
the OF these people, who are against us now,
have always been against In the State OF New York.
In every victory that have achieved in that state

The prospect of two local Democratic tickets
in this city, which the Anti-Snappers' meeting
on Thursday night makes probable, is well
calculated 20 fill the breasts of the Democratic
party managers with keen alarm. The task OF
getting Tammany and anti-Tammany to pull
together this year will be prodigious, if not
absolutely impossible. The mingling of oil and
water would be childs play in comparison.
The election inspectors for this city, 3,411
of them, were appointed by the Police Com
missioners yesterday. For the first time they
are not equally divided between the great po-
litical parties, but the Democrats have two for
each district, while the Republicans have only
one. This is in accordance with the infamous
law passed by the VIGOROUSLY partisan Legs-
lature of this year. The chances of an honest
election in this city are seriously diminished
by giving Tammany control Of the election ma
chnery There will be especial need Of dill
gence and vigilance on the part of the solitary
Republican inspector in each district
Yesterdays panic in the Ludlow-st. syna-
gOgue was utterly senseless. as panics usually
are yet four lives were lost and a number of
persons injured in fleeing from a danger that
was purely imaginary. For the fire was really
put out the instant after it blazed up. and the
only danger was that inherent in the hasty
flight of large crowd of people from build
ing with narrow passages and stairways. 1t is
easy enough now to assert that a building con-
structed on the plan of tenement house should
never have been used for synagogue purposes.
II is probable that similar risks are frequently
run in other buildings of the same order. For
those suddenly bereaved and for the sufferers
by this appalling occurrence the sincerest SYM
patty will be felt by every citizen of New-York.
There seems to be no reason, apart from the
natural anxiety of relatives, why any one should
