In answer to tae question Of protec
tiouist, whose zeal for his cause Is greater
than his knowledge, namely; why our
cotton factories canuot compete with the
English cotton factories, the New York
Evening Post quotes an extract from the
report of James G. Blaine Secretary Of
State, dated June %, 1881, Mr. Blaine
says;
Owing to the different arrangements
of the English and American tables Of
wages, II Is difficult TO give comparative
analysis thereof which would show at a
glance the difference 10 the wfges Of the
operatives OF both countries The wages
OF spinners and weavers In Lancashire
and In Massachusetts,, accor ing to the
foregoing statements, were as follows
per week; Spinners, English, s. 20 to

as $l2): American, $7O7 TO $l030

average wages OF employees in the Massa.

to the official returns: Men, IS 80, women,

OF January, 1880, was 3 bout IS per week
subject TO reduction Of 10 per cent

Reduction Of 10 per cent. The hours OF
labor in the Lancashire mills are ffty-six,

The hours Of labor In the mills In the
other New England states, where the
wages are generally less than in Massa
chusetts, are usually sixty six to sixty

A STRANGE case Of suicide occurred in
New York Alexander Agar, a stationer,
shot himself ut home because he had got
in frenzy Of worry about the state Of
the country. He was an experienced and
successful merchant, and his own busi-
ness was in prosperous condition. Be
cause there was no reason for worrying
about bis own business, hence, by a
strange, though not uncommon, psyche
logical phenomenon, he worried about
other peoples business. This is an
object lesson OF the advice frequently
given by the EVENING JOURNAL, tc

THRBK has oeen no doubt OF miscon-

party on the tariff for at least eight
years. There was no possibility Of error
