NC present slflke Isl net YET so
extensive and disastrous as the one
of 1877.
The great strike ofthat year spread
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and lasted from the middle Of July
until the middle of August. Hun
dreds of lives were lost and the
damage by FIRE and otherwise
amounted to many million dollars.
Tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad
refused to comply with the demands
of the striking brakemen and con-
ductors for the restoration of their
former wages, and ON the 18th of
July freight train on that road
was thrown from the tracks, dam
aging the engine and meof the
cars and injuring the engineer and
fireman. On the 18th President
Hayes issned proclamation COM
manding the rioters to disperse be-
fore noon of the following day or
take the consequences. BE also
ordered 300 artillery men to 60 to
Martinsburg, where there was dan
ger of mob violence. On the 18th
of July the brakemen and conduc-
tors on outgoing freight trains at
Pittsburg struck, and gave notice
that new men should not take their
places. On the 21st the situation
was serious at Pittsburg, Baltimore
and other places along the Balti-
moro and Ohio. The governor of
Maryland called out the militia. A
mob fred on the state troops in
Baltimore and the fire was returned,
killing four men and wounding
several. The mob increased in
number and fred on the troops
again and chased them down the
street. More than a dozen people
were killed during the night.
AT Pittsburg a reign of terror
prevailed. Mobs several thousand
strong stopped trains and obstruct-
ed the track. Two thousand troops
were attacked in the streets by the
mob and when the soldiers opened
fire fourteen persons were killed,
three of the slain and several of the
wounded being women. The mob
then attacked the roundhouse,
which contained 1900 soldiers.
They fired cannon at the impris.
oned troops, and an oil train was.
set on fire. The flames spread, the
union depot was burned, and the
fire destroyed 1000 cars, most of
them containing merchandise. Be-
fore the fire was subdued $4,000, 900
worth of property was destroyed
and more than a 100 persons were
killed. At Baltimore an oil train
was set on fire causing great de-
struction of property.
In Pittsburg the rioting continue
ed for days. Buildings were burn
ed and cars were robbed, and the
citizens were forced to organize a
vigilance committee. The strike
reached Chicago on the oath, and
the lumbermen and other working
men joined the railroad ntrikers.
The state troops were
and federal soldiers wo
dity. Several pitchl
Cured between tho
troops and police, and,
sons were killed ard wounded.
In ST. Louis the strikers controll-
ed the city, and set FIRE to cars,
buildings and a large lumber yard.
Early in August the strike began
to weaken, and by the midd'aoGthl
month all the roads had
traffic. Despite the fearful loss
life and property, in a few week
the affair was practically forgotten
and the business of the country
moved along as before.
This was the greatest strike in
our history, and the one now in
progress falls far short of it in mag.
nitude and results.

allowed to address the council. He
said Mr.. Breckenridge was Of the
opinion that If the old contract
was settled in all its parts he
would let the suit in court take it's
course. Also settlement of the
waterworks company's back taxes
was asked. He had been advised
that they had the right to recover
from city on the old contract, but
now'it will be settled and he asked
the city to release the right to
back taxes. They will pay what
they owe, $4,000, Of which last
quarters water will be deducted.
The mayor raised point il the
council could legally restore or

sGreat Strikes and High Tariffs Go To-
gether"

The Baltimore Sun shows that the
cause of the great discomfort and fire.
quent strikes of American labor for the
past thirty years can be traced to no
other cause but our disastrous protec-
tive tariffs. The San adduces from
the mercantile statistics of the country
the vast number of business failures
and it points out with unanswerable
argument the inseparaule connection
between these failures and the dis
tress, dissatisfaction and revolt of Ia
bor 1t says -
''If the constant stimulation of high
err tariff rates could, as their advocates
claimed, have given business larger
profits and labor larger pay. the last
twenty years must have witnessed a
steady decline in the number alike of
business failures and labor strikes. In
stead OF that, both have gone on in
creasing together. From 1878 to 1882,
inclusive, ten years, 74,97S failures are
recorded in this country. That was
unprecedented. But in the eight
years from 1888 to 1892 the more appal,
ling total of 80, 600 failures was register
ed. y = y Their number rose to very
ne arly II 900 in 1890, the year of Nc
Kinley's climax tariff. The next year
pTOieCUlOu having UOuCuou Gle uiSu
water mark of all our history. the list
of insolvents touched high water mark,
too, and 1928 failures were the melan-
choly product of the last and greatest
effort to tax the country into prosperi
ty. And this tale of disaster was over
topped again in 1898, after two full
years of the highest tariff ever enact
ed, by grand total of 1850 failures,
representing liabilities of 1852, 900, GOO"
This showing confirms the view Of
the Herald that the cause of the recent
great strikes was to be traced to PRO
lection" Surely partisanship may
well pause and yield tC patriotism in
the light of these historical facts. La
Dor cannot be satisfied where business
is paralyzed. Congress may now well
take to heart the closing words of the
Sun -
Manufacturers tied up to a home
market that is not equal to the output,
and agriculture forced to sell its prod
ucts in the cheapest and buy its sup
plies in tie dearest market, must both
be relieved. Larger markets, freer
trade and fairer chance for all is the
demand of the hour"

TEN perance.

Mr.. E. L Godkin, of the New York
Erenia1g Post in the course OF recent
address discusses the influence for tenn
perance eXerted by the use of machin-
cry. He says:
ut is said, and | believe with truth,
that nothing has done so much to pro-
mote temperance as the greatly in
creased used of machinery in modern
industry. One of the peculiarities of
all good machines is that they cannot
be managed by drunken men. The
touch of drunkard's hand sets them
wild. A very large proportion of the
skilled labor of the world is now
employed either in the superintendent
or in the aid of machinery. An artisan,
therefore, who wishes to get and keep
employment, has, as rule, to keep
sober. The anger of a mismanaged
machine is so serious in its consequence
that no employer can afford to overlook
even a single case of intemperance.
The man who drinks goes, and cannot
come back. So that by beautiful
process of artificial selection all the
good places of the world are naturally
passing into the hands of the sober
men, result which would probably
never have been brought about by
mere moral sussion."
Mr. Godkin is right as far as ne goes
But nowadays when competition in all
branches and vocations of labor has
become SO sharp the mechanic and ma
chinist is not the only one who has to
keep sober. The drunken doctor gets
no patients. The drunken lawyer gets
no clients, the drunken merchan' fails.
In these days there are two men for
every job Offering and the SOBER man
gets the job. Formerly drinking was
tolerated, but in the busy hum of mod
ern life a clear head and Steady hand
are required and the drinking man
goes to the wall.
Thus we see the laws of trade and
necessity accomplishing what no State
Or national law could ever accomplish
the prevention of liquor drinking
