An agent of the New York Tribune, who
has been distributing fuel and food among
the unemployed in that city, describes the
interior of one tenement which he visited
as follows:
The first floor over the basement was oc-
cupied by "sweat-shop''-but the shop was
closed and those who passed the door looked
through the glass longngly at the idle sew
ing machines which might have been bring
ing them at least a pittance If the times
were not so hard On the top floor front was
a family of German Hebrews. The woman
had seven children. The Oldest boy sew
enteen or eighteen years old, sat idly on a
cot and the others stood about Besides the
immediate family there were two young
women boarders, one of whom was present
Two of the three chairs in the apartment
cot-bed in the room, a small stove and a
table. The husband was out looking for
work. The wife told in German of their
miseries Her husband had lost his job
seven months ago, and had not been able
to get work at any price. They owed for
rent and groceries and for coal-not much,
though, for no one would trust them for
many dollars. Some attempt had been made
to brighten up the room by lacking illus
trated advertisements on the walls. There
was one other thing on the wall which is
worth mentioning. 1t was fancy card
bearing the portrait of President Cleveland,
and the following curious motto, in gilt let

few days ago. in an insulting reply to
a petition sent him by the employees of the
Merritt wooden mill. Representative Bynum
declared that under the Wilson bill wooden
manufacturers would receive 40 per cent,
and Indiana wooden manufacturers did not
pay their employees $40 on 500 worth of
goods. In the first place. the duty is only
80 per cent. ad valorem, and as the value
will be fixed by the importer. it may be
less than % per cent of the cost of the
goods here. A free-trade paper at once
picked up the statement of Mr.. Bynum,
ascertained the value of the goods sold
which they were made. and declared that
the workman got but IA per cent. of the
value of the goods. Every practical man
knows that the only portion of a product
in which any class of worlmen are inter-
ested Is the value which their labor adds
to the material. The material used by
the Indianapolis wooden mills in 1892 was
valued at s225. 900. while the value of the
goods produced was $4,000, consequently,
the value added in the manufacture is $685.
600. That $500 is what the employees of the
wooden mills have to do. The wages of the
employees being s45.1O5 they received 4733
per cent. of the value added to the material
by manufacture. That is. OF 500 added TO
the value OF the material, out of which
are paid all the wages, salaries. commits,
sions, taxes interest. ETC., the labor in the
mill receives s47.SS. which is very much
more than the $40 on 500 to which Mr.. By
mum refers.
Another point: The highest authority re-
garding any matter pertaining to British
commerce and industry is the official Board
erage annual earnings of workers in British
wooden mills in 1889 was sl65.1O. Taking the
figures of the free-trade paper and the re-
port of the Bureau of Statistics, and
eliminating the salaries of two superintend-
ents, and the annual wages for each OF
ninety-one employees was $i62.5S. or s42.l05
for the entire number in the Indianapolis
mills. If they were paid upon the British
scale, the ninety-one would have received
sl5,O2il0. That is, while the employees in
the Indianapolis wooden mills received s42.-
1O5 of the s95. 900 added TO the value OF ma
terials II they had been paid the British
scale OF wages they would have received

and everything now points to Republican
success-Mount Vernon Republican
great many Republicans are urging
that the State convention be held as early
as March April Now we have not the
least doubt that these Republicans desire
to do the best thing for the party, but in
this case Ii seems to us that their judg-
ment is at fault. If the convention is held
the latter part of March or the first of
April 1t leaves a campaign of seven months
before us, which is entirely too much time.
Let the convention be held In June and
that leaves five months for campaigning,
which is certainly abundance of time.

not be any doubt about it. Under his peer

tend that all they have has been

THE CARLIsLE-WILsON WHISKY
TRUST.

What the Journal said in regard to the
recommendation of the Wilson committee
in regard to the tax con whisky and to in
crease the bond period several days since is
confirmed by Washington advices. The in
crease of the whisky tax ten cents gall
lon and the extension of the bonded period
from three to eight years would not only
fail to afford the government immediate rev.
enue. but would prolong for years the time
of payment of the tax. Now. when whisky
has been in bond three years, the tax must
be Paid even if it is not sold. The PROPOSE
ton of the Wilson committee would en-
able the whisky monopoly to keep the gov
eminent out of tax on goods manufac-
tured at the present time during eight years.
All the increase of revenue it would get
would be the additional ten cents upon
whisky taken out of bond for consumption,
which would be next to nothing. Indeed if
there should be a large quantity of whisky
years ago. the government would obtain
much less revenue under the Carlisle-wil-
son proposition than under the bill as it
stands. There is no such monopoly in this
country at the present time as the whisky
ring. 1t practically holds the stock and con-
trolls the output. If the Wilson proposition
becomes a law the ring can make the price
of whisky for years. atA
But mere than all others in Congress Mr..
Voorhees, seems to be the foremost cham
pion Of the whisky ring. Mr.. Voorhees,
never does things by halves. His PROPOSE
ton is to increase the tax on whisky made
after a given date, and at the same time
to extend the bonded period. AS none of the
new whisky would be Sold the ring could
to the price of whisky in stock and compel
the consumer to pay it to them. Thus the
act of Congress would enabls the ring to
pocket millions. Mr.. voorhees, is too en-
thusiastic in behalf of his townsmen Of the
whisky ring
For years the whisky ring has been labor
ing with Congress to increase the bonded
period. 1t has had a powerful lobby at
times and had a friend near the throne
when Mr.. Carlisle was Speaker. but hither-
to all it's efforts have failed. 1t now re-
mains to be seen if Democratic House
and Senate and Democratic executive will
put the whisky interest Of the country into
the hands of trust the most potential In

WANTED TO HIRE THE "CZAR.,

ExueuseS IN Talk.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE managers
Of a Jersey City banquet. which is TO
take place Jan. &c, are doomed TO disap-
pointment, and members of Congress are
laughing at their expense The Jersey
City men wrote recently to Senator Nc
Pherson asking him to invite ex-Speaker
Reed and Representative Wilson. Of West
Virginia, to attend a banquet and respond
to a tariff toast In the absence or the
Senator q Jersey City Representative un-
dertook the task. He was authorized by
the latter TO offer to Messrs. Reed and
Wilson 800 each and their expenses When
Mr. Reed heard the proposition he grinned
and said: "Of course the laborer Is worthy
of his hire. but for the present and the
next few weeks l will have a pretty big
Job on my hands here. l regret that II
will be impossible for me to accept the gen.
erous offer"
Mr. Wilson was at first disposed TO re-
gard the proposition as a joke. but when
informed that 1t was made seriously he
smiled and said: II am afraid you viii
have to excuse me-" Both men have re-
ce!ved many invitations TO public dinners,
but this is the first that has been accom-
panied by an offer of money.
