The contrast between the procedure
at Washington in this Congress, in re-
lation TO the tariff, d that in the
same halls in the Congress of 1890 GER
tainly must strike every enc who can
see the difference between black and
white. If, four years ago, the attempt
of the Republican Congress To pas,
the Mckinley bill had been attended
with such confusion, 5obbery and evil
dence of deceit, falsehCod and trickery,
with such prolonged and bitter dis
pu es betwe IN the actions of the ma
Jority, we should have had lectures
without end from the free trade camp
anu their mugwump allies. 1t must
certainly be evident that the men who
are endeavoring now to cut 1wn the
tariff, and whose main purpose Is 20
pass some sort of BILL in order to
carry out their partisan program are
totally incompetent to deal with the
subject. and that such incompetency
is Overwhelming reason or dismissing
them from control. - The Manutec-

Ma,p,.s Decisive Verdict.

T. @ most enthusiastic of Pepubli-
cans have not expected that the
phenomena victorie Of last fall would
tie repeated this year but the biggest
ma o'lty ever givo the history of
Ohio was no more remarkab in its
way than the bigges ma GRITTY in the
hi tory of Maine, which was recorded
Monday.
tvidently it was no mere within that
caused the people to inlict the disas-
t.ous defeats OF both the fall ana
spring upon the Democratic party.
Maine Joins Vermont in showing that
these adverse votes were tn result of
n deep-seated conviction that Lemo-
cratic rule was a constant mcna q TO
the welfare of the country. 20 de-
cisive is the verdict that it
can he predicted with absolute
certainty that the landslide of
the coming November will be even
more remarkable than the Democratic
victories of 1890. 1t shows that Re-
publican sentiment in New England is
on fire. 1t shows that the attempt to
win her from prot ction moorings by
the bribe of free raw materials has
failed ingloriously. Vermont and
Maine are not manufacturing States,
such as Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, but they reflect the general
sentiment.

New England Clothing Trades Have

Boston. Sept 16.-There is every indi-
cation to-day that within few days there
will be inaugurated here one of the big
gest strikes in the history of the clothing
trade of New England.
The various branches of the trade held
meetings to-day and indorsed the recon-
mendationS of the Clio thing Trade Council
that the dumping system be abolished.
that the weekly wage system be estab-
iished; also that a uniform number of
working hours be established. The matter
will be brought before mass-neetine of
the united craft tomorrow, and il the
recommendations are adopted bv a two
thirds majority, then series of confer
ences with the manufacturers and con-
tractors will be held as soon as possible,
Ii the employers agree to the demands
the threatened strike will be averted, but
if they refuse strike will be ordered at
once.
The operatives claim they are in better
shape for struggle than their employers.
as the latter have been waiting the result
of the tariff bill, and are consequently be-
hind with their work. They also asserted
that they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose, as they are ground down
at present beyond endurance. A feature
the men are expecting will aid them is
that owing TO the present strike in New
York the manufacturers there have been
sending their work to be made up here.
The entire trade appears encouraged over
the prospect, and at the meeting to-day a
strike would have been ordered il it had
been possible.
