WAGES.

That private letter written by Unit d
States Senator Smith from Carlsbad to a
friend in Newark was a good document
to burn when it had been read. There is
good ground for reasonable doubt that
James will approve the action of his
friend 10 giving the letter to the press for
publication, for it shows just the kind of
labor that Mr.. Smith has exerted himself
IN the past and will exert himself in the
future TO bring American workingmen in
to competition with.
The free traders deny the assertion
made by protectionists that foreign labor
is more poorly paid than American labor,
in the face of stacks Of statistics to show
that ii is really true. They say that such
figures are prepared by protectionsts for
the purpose of making their argument
good, and are, therefore, untrue.
Now comes Senator Smith in private
letter, saying that servants in the hotels
at Carlsbad receive one dollar and twenty
cents monthly, and that girls-think Of
it l-who carry the bod and serve masons
receive the muniiicent sum Of two dollars
a week. Girls who put in coal aud saw
wood get one dollar and twenty cents a
week, and woman who is hitched 10 the
pole of wagon alongside of COW to
draw the load, receives the same wages.
This is an astonishing part of the epis
tie, but that relating to the compensation
of mechanics is most interesting, since il
gives a comparison between the wages
paid there and those paid in the United
States for the same labor. The letter
says: "THE BEST MECHANICS, oAKPEN
TERs, MAsoNs, CHINA PAINTERS AND THE
GLASS AND PORCELAIN MAKERS RECEIVE " DO
TO So 90 WEEKLY. THE REASON WOMEN
AND GIRLS ARE OBLIGED TO WORK so HARD
Is BECAUSE OF THE SMALL WAGES PAID TO
THE MEN. GIRLS WHO WORK IN THE FAC
TORIES AND THERE ARE Maryland DO
THE WORK THAT WE HAVE MEN DO, RECEIVE
ONE DOLLAR WEEKLY. "
Is the cry OF cheap labor on the other
side OF the ocean false9 What have the
Democrats got to offer the American la
borer, whose Drawn, muscle and mind
they would place on the came level that
these working people have reached, 10
explanation OF this letter from the free
trade Democratic Senator2
Open the industrial market of the
United States to competition with coun-
tries where labor is so miserably paid,
and the day ia not far distant when the
mechanic iD America will be struggling
for an existence on from 50 to SO week

Last Friday evening the Republican
candidate for Congress in the Fourth Dis
tict, Mahlon Pitney, Esq of Morrislowu,
visited this city, and made his headquar-
tiers at the Lambertville House. During
the evening he WAS serenaded by the Re-
publicans of the city, the Liberty Cornet
Band furnishing the music, and he made
an excellent speech on the occasion.
Capt. John Shields, candidate for State
Senator, and VIM. G. Simpson, candidate
for Assembly, also spoke and made a
coed impression. Assemblyman Read
ing, who was expected, was prevented by
other engagements from being present. A
large number Of our citizens called on the
candidates during the evening and were
favorably impressed.

Capt. John Shields, nominee for State
Senator, is an excellent selection. He is
a man of ability, an excellent business
man, of wide experience, thoroughly
honest man and patriot. No man, Of
any party or sect, should be afraid TO
vote for Opt. Shields. He can be trust
ed. He is true American, who has
stood in defence of his country where
bullets flew thickest, aud men fell fastest
AT Gettysburg, he was in that living wall
that withstood rebel onslaughts and was
picked up as dead, when the carnage
ceased. He carries wounds that testify
to his courage and his patriotism. His
comrades have appreciated his ability and
his services by making him commander
Of the Ora I'd Army OF New Jersey. Give
him big, undivided and hearty support
for Senator. His election will aid in the
sending of United States Senator to
Congress who will vote for American
manufactures, American wages and
American homes.

The Newark Sunday call gives express
sion to very prevalent public sentiment
in saying that the press Of the State gen
orally and most citizens who have looked
into the matter, condemn the report OF
the Constitutional Commission and recon-
mend the Legislature to reject it prompt
" at it's next session. The Commission
was controlled by lawyers and its chief OBJ
ject seems to have been to provide more
offices for the profession and make the
practice more convenient and profitable.
The real reforms demandtd by the people
were totally ignored.
The question was put recently TO an OPP
erative In one of Paterson's largest indus
trial establishments, the call says, as to
what he thought about politics. swell, >

that two years ago were all Democrats
now say they will vote the Republican
ticket. There are no Democrats at all in
our shop this year ~ No wonder there
are more men DESTROYS OF declining Dem
ocratic nominations in that section just
now than willing candidates.

The question OF pure water Tor the
city of Philadelphia is one which is con
tiuually agitating the public in that quiet
Quaker town. While talking on this sub
iect few days ago, Mr.. Thomas Kimble,
of Lumberville, Pa gave his version OF
how Philadelphia could be supplied with
pure water. In the first place, 1t would
necessitate the purchase of the canal run
ming between Esston and Bristol. The
outlet locks at New Hope could be re-
moved to Lumberville and the boats from
that point could be ferried over to New
Jersey and enter the feeder there. Inc
canal proper from Lumberville to Bristol
and from there to a point some ten or
twelve miles below could be used for
viadnct. The waters of the streams To-
hickon, Paunacussing and those from
Ingham Springs could, without trouble,
he turned into the viaduct and emptied
into n reservoir which could be construct
ed at the terminal. The waters would
he the best which could be obtained and
all places along the route could also be
supplied, il necessary, from the same
source. The canal itself would be suf-
fcient!y large reservoir to supply all
water needed, yet 1t would be prudent to
have one which could be depended upon
in case of an accidental break There
has been talk of damming the Tohickon
and running pipes from that stream to
the city. The citizens of Bucks county,
in that neighborhood, are opposed to any
such project, as they do not want any
Johustown disaster which might result
from such procedure. There certainly
ia much that can be said in favor OF Mr..
Kimble's idea, and to those who are al
WAYS hunting after pure, cool, sparkling
water, here is en- opportunity for thought
aud observation.

The Werts ballot reform law requires
that the number of each Assembly District
shall be printed on the ballot. Since the
Supreme court decided that Assemblyme n

by districts, it was suggested that II the

thrown out and the election declared void.
The attention OF Governor Werts was
called TO the matter day or two ago, and
he has written an opinion to the effect that
he thinks " the ballots should be printed
in conformity with the decision OF the Sup.
