A p%IsaRACEFUL AFFAIR.

The Jersey City authorities ought to
be thoroughly ashamed Of the rowdy
proceedings In that city yesterday when
the coaching party on the Alert were
passing through. The New York po-
lice authorities are not much behind the
Jersey people In the disgrace.
AS the coach passed along. a crowd OF
rufians, thugs and thieves gathered In
Wayne street and met It with n shower
OF all kinds OF missiles and all sorts
of vile remarks. A number of ladies
were on the coach, and It was all their
escorts could do to shield them from
serious injury. The men were quite
severely cut and bruised.
In New York. at Twenty-fourth street
and Tenth avenue. some OF the stable
Gang pelted the coach with small
stones and gravel.
AS there had been some rowdy demon
straticns on a former trip. the police
authorities of both cities were the more
to blame for the disgraceful occurrence.

Mr.. Richard Croker is in Washington.
So Is Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan.
TIE last time that Mr., Croker visited
thu National capital he went ostensibly
to give directions to his representatives
In the Senate and House to oppose the
income tax. Tha was before Senator
Hits speech against the tax had been de-
liveI ed.
But at that time the sugar schedule
was before the House. and It was shrewd-
ly rumored that sugar sweetened the
TaInmlny leaders trip.
NJ, Croker now announces that he goes
to Washington to spend two days with
the Troy boss. Senator Murphy. But 1t Is
alleged that his visit has been to Cord
Meyer. IT,. the wealthy sugar retiner. and
there is just now an effort to head OF
any disturbance OF the schedule.

Who Gets That Other $40?

10 the Editor:
In a letter printed in THE Evening World
several days since MI. Benjamin Doblin. citing
the claim OF a certain protectionist that printers
In this country earn Ss per week. while in
England they receive only 81, asked; Who gets
the dinerence?' Before trying to answer this
question. l will remark that great as is the
discrepancy here shown. there Ia greater az be-
tween the wages OF printers In different parts OF
our own beloved and betaxed country-nay. right
In New York State wages OF printers vary from
100 to 800 per cent, going as low rs IS and $40
in small towns, and az high as $50 In New York
city. Ir light Of this fact. how absurd II
seems to give to protectionism the credit OF the
higher average wages paid to printers in this
country. This craft. OF all others. Is the last
In need OF protection. and least susceptible to It.
VIII SOM protectIonist tell me why It Is that in
free trade ~ England printers get higher wages
than In any other European country. all OF which
are highly protected? Now, II answer to Mr..
Doblln's question. in my opinion the protected
manufacturers and mlnc-owners get the other SO
provided It exists. PRlNTER
