YEAR OF TIE M'KINLEY BILL.
The period covered by investigation
includes the year Immediately prior to
the enactment of the Mckinley bill and
the year Immediately following its be-
coming law-that is, for the year com.
mencing September !, 1889, up to and
including August 81, 1899, and the year
commencing September /, 1890, up to
and including August 81, 1891. The
statistics relate to only wholesale manu-
featuring establishments. To have
undertaken to cover the retail
and custom manufacturing establish
ments of tho state, the report says,
would have been physical and tinan-
cial impossibility in the present status
OF the bureau. Some eight thousand
blanks were addressed aud mailed to as
many separate establishments through
out the state, and of this number six
thousand, or seventy-five per cent, were
returned fully and correctly answered
by leading business firms.
From sixty-seven industries covered
1t appears that there was net increase
in wages OF $6,377, 1925 90 in the year
1891 as compared with the amount paid
in 1880, and net increase of production
OF S3l, ,3l5, ,130 6S in the year 1891 over
that OF 1880. A simple analysis OF the
table further demonstrates that OF tho
sixty.seven industries covered seventy
seven per cent OF them show an in
crease either OF wages or product, or
both, and that there were no less than
S9,717 instances OF individual increases
Of wages during the same year. The
total trades represented amount to ], ,l2l
and give employment to 2S5,OOO work
ingmen and women.
INCREASED AVERAGE EARNINGS.
A comparative table is also given
showing the increases and decreases Of
the average yearly earnings sof employees
in the year 1891 over 1890 OF the
sixty-eight industries included seventy
five per cent. OF them show an increased
average yearly earnings in the year
1901, while the total average increase OF
yearly earnings OF the 5000 employees
was $23.1 each. The average increase
Of yearly earnings of the employees in
fifty-one trades showing an increase
was S4396 each in 1891 as compared
with 1890.
In addition to the investigation Of
this special subject the bureau has con-
/ tinued its annual investigation Of all
labor disturbances occurring in the
state during the past year. Tho total
number OF strikes reported for the year
1891 was 4,519, as against c, 1858 occurring
in the year 1904 decrease OF LAO.
OF the total number, 4,5l9, 2,375, or
tifty-three per cent OF them, were in the
building trades, fact that seems to
follow in natural sequence the results
obtained in the special investigation Of
the effect Of the Tariff on Labor and
Wages"

Commissioner Peck closed the inter-

In conclusion he vigorously denied

LONDON, August SO.-Considerable
uneasiness is felt here because Of the
knowledge that cholera has certainly
obtained a foothold in London and in
one OF the worst places in which it
could. Notwithstanding the quaran-
tine that has been established, people
from Hamburg are allowed to land and
the result Of this is shown by the fact
that two new cases of cholera have oc-
Cured in the city road, London.
The victims arrived yesterday on the
steamship Peregline from Hamburg.
They showed no symptoms OF disease
and were permitted to land. They pro-
ceeded to their homes and to-day the
disease appeared. The district is filed
with small houses and is densely
populated.

AS nE FOUND THEM.

'tThe first returns came from tho silk
industry and were very pleasing to my
way Of thinking. But l am free to ad-
NIT that the report as o whole is not in
harmony with the Democrrtic plat
form, so far as the tariff is concerned.
However, my duty as a state official Is
to report things as / find them, not as
reckless partisans would like to have
them construed. There is no political
bias about any Of my reports, nor do !!
believe there is any in the reports OF
any labor bureau in the country. ALI
l can say is that the statements OF my
report arc based on actual confidential
letters received from six thousand rep
resentatives OF wholesale manutactu-
rers of New York. The result shows
me that the leading Democratic speak
ers on the tariff are in error as to the
effects OF the Mckinley bill. The fig
ures in my report speak for themselves
and there is no getting away from
them"
"Are the original letters on file in
your Officer. i asked.
"They are, every one OF them," was
the reply, "but they cannot be thrown
open to the public. They are in many
cases confidential letters from business
men who would onlY+hgree to furnish
me statistics on the assurance that the
private facts concerning their business
should not be made public"

Senator Hill takes the situation coolly
