work as was feared and expected, although 1t
was made primarily in the inner councils OF
the Wigwam. The action Of the Aldermen IN
the matter was purely formal. OF the thirty
districts three are surely Republican, and the
Republicans will have at least fighting chance
in three or four others. In point Of population
tie districts arc made up with reasonable fair
ness. In Brooklyn a gerrymander OF the NEST
decided character has been pcrpetrated. There
are eighteen districts in Kings County under
the now law, OF which the Republicans will
control only two. That proportion is unfair
enough but il is outrageous to make IN
two Republican districts with population OF
lC2 sos and sS,555, respectively. while three
of the Democratic districts contain only 3l'6So'
33. 100 and 36.3j8 people.

wacrS IYD HOMES or STRIKERS

When Democratic journals assert that the
trouble at Homestead proves that Protection
gives no advantage and is of no benefit to
labor. they challenge the worst possible com
narison for themselves. In what country with
ont Protection can wages for similar labor be
found which approximate to those paid at the
Homestead works? Mr.. Frck, at his cxamina-
ton by the Congressional Committee, submitted
tho actual payroll of men at one mill at Home
stead for the month of May. The amount paid
TO each man is given, with the number Of
hours he worked and the position he occupied.
Three men earned over $500 for the month
and four averaged from SS to ~ - per day.
At the other extreme one boy earned only > ID
pcr day, four laborcrs from : 81 to ~ SO per
day, a weighmastcr ~ so per day, two mould
crs' helpers 81 sc and 81 g. per day, and one
regulator 81 81 per day, making eight regular
men and a boy earning less than 50 per day,
and Of all these the wages would have been in
no way changed by the proposed scale. The
reduction was exclusively in the wages Of men
earning from 81 so to 80 "a per day.
Taking the entire payroll ut this one mill. il
s found that fifty three stec-worlsers earned
81 o54 in the month of May, working / 81 a
DAYS. or 81 90 IL per day for each man. The
workers whose wages were less, and were not
TO be changed. numbered fourteen, and earned
in 292 days 1891 80. or 81 OF IL per dag for
each man. the one boy included. The organ
lied labor Of this country will admit that these
wages arc not paid in most cases, but it must
be accounted proof of the efficacy of pro-
tectiye duties that it has been possible to pay
sucb wages in an establishment which could
not have existed at all but for Protection.
Surely it is not a thing to be regretted that
industrious and law-abiding Americans earn

The circumstances at Homestead gave the
company some reason for asking reduction
in wages of men averaging - per day. The

works principally for the manufacture OF beams

Fricl, states that the reduction averaged for
the skilled men in four departments about II
nor cent. no others being affected. The de-
cline in beams was in part because the Mckinley
hill had reduced the duties from 1.25 cent to
o Of 4 cent per pound. and after the reduction
German bcams were sold somewhat largely IN
This country. SO that makers here began to com
note with each other at the lowest prices they
could afford. In like manner plates were re-

The proposal Of the company was to reduce the

agreed upon by them two years ago.

II is stated that Governor Flower has deter
mined to make n tour of inspection of the in
situations which depend upon the State for
their support. "Thc NewYork Tines re-
ports him rs SAYING: If | wcrc a private

cornmcndablc one. being calculated to incito
the managers of our State institutions to in.
creased efficiency and fidelity.
In case tho Governor has little leisure be-
fore starting out upon this inspection of state
institutions. We would suggest to him that he
could employ some hours proitably by making
tour which will not call him out of the great
building al Albany in which the Executive
Chamber is situated. Let him 60 into the
Office Of the Secretary of State and insist upon
finding ont for himself whether or not tho
census which issued from that Office this year
was honest or dishonest TIE TRIBUNE has
demonstrated that it was dishonest that four
distinct varieties OF fraud showed themselves
in its taking. Here is n golden opportunity
for the Governor, il he is really bent upon
doing the people substantial service 1t is
desirable that our State institutions should be
economical in their expenditure of the public
money but it is infinitely moro important that
the state census should be kept free from fraud,
since n bogus census operates to swindlc thou
sands of voters out of their fundamental rights.
