TILE WHY EAST RIVER BRIDGE.

The question of purchasing the rights and
franchise Of the East River Bridge Company
is now fairly before the New East River Bridge
Commissioners and clearly must be disposed or
before anything of importance can be done by
Them Two propositions on behalf or the com
many were presented to the Commission at It's
meeting on Wednesday, and it remains to be seen
whether an agreement can be arrived at To
understand the matter clearly it must be borne
in mind that in 1892 charter for the construc-
tion of two bridges was granted TO the East
River Bridge Company, largely in response to
an emphatic demand from the people OF Brook
lvn's Eastern District for better means Of com
munication with this city. 1t was the intention
If the company. composed as it was mainly OF
men Interested in the Brooklyn Elevated Rail
road. to run trains directly to New-York, and
q vital part Of its scheme was an elevated rail-
road across this city near Grand-st by which its
notrons could be brought into direct connection
with the transportation systems on Manhattan
Island The company's attention was first
turned to the proposed elevated road, but its
efforts in that direction were absolutely defeat
ed Nothing more than pretence Of beginning
work on the bridges was ever made, although
surveys were had, plans prepared, in part at
least, ana the consent OF lHe SeCTetdIy vi w III
to the construction of a bridge between Grand
st. and Broadway. in Brooklyn. obtained Then
came the hard times and the severe competition
Of the trolley lines with the Brooklyn Elevated
Railroad, and the bridge scheme was practical
". though not formally, abandoned.
When the plan Of building a bridge by the
cities was brought forward by Mayor Schcren
and Mayor Strong. the East River Bridge Com
pany offered no objection to it, but in fact pro-
NOTED the passage Of the BILL though with the
understanding that 1t was to be compensated for
the outlay 1t had incurred. Qualified provision
therefor was made in the Bridge bill, which says
that IF any corporation shall possess valid
"charter with authority to construct such IA
bridge as is contemplated by the provisions Of
"this act, said Commissioners may, II they so
"Jetermine, with the express consent Of the
Mayors and Controllers Of the respective cities
.nurchase said charter and all the rights and
powers granted thereby from the corporation

WAGES AND IMPORTS.

Three more strikes in woollcn mills for better
wages are mentioned 1t is not strange that
the workers, seeing notices in the papers every
day of restoration of wages, should insist that
their turn had come. The Fall River cotton
workers are organizing for complete restOra-
ton Of wages to rates paid before the panic and
have thoroughly canvasscd the matter so that
disnatches state a general advance will probably
be demanded 1t may be that the cotton work
ers have not fully considered the fact that nearly
II per cent more cotton goods have been brought
into this country in ten months under the new
tariff than in the same months of the previous
year II may be that the woollen workers do
not realize that S29,OS2 80 in declared foreign
value of woollen goods has been placed on the
market in the first six months of 1870, against
only S7,SS4,711 in the same months OF last year,
with the certainty that the undervaluations have
never been so great or dangerous as they are
this year.

which earned the i'll will of manufacturers by
agitating for free wool, discovers that the new
tariff does not work out blessed results, and in
two editorials this week gives details which APP
near TO prove in It's own words, THE complete
failure Of the present ad vaorem system" 1t
states that 10000 yards of 1S-ounce Clay wors-
teds were sold for immediate delivery last week
by one firm at 81 O7la, and that large sales were
made by one other house, to the extent Of over
800 pieces, Of 12ounce Clay worSteds at 92la
cents. Though similar invoices had been passed
by Appraiser Schoonhof-formcrly the Free
Trade agent Of President Cleveland's Admins
traton in Europc-but were detained for reap
praisement by other officials, invoices of Ike
nature and in great quantity appear 10 be CON
stantly passing. Men in the business know
without argument whether these prices are CON
sistent with honest manufacture and duty pay
ing
The goods come in, whether honestly involced
or not, Free Traders being in charge Of the
Offices, and in quantities large enough to require
attention. In the first six months Of 1899 the
imports Of woollen cloths Amounted to 19.41s,-
95l pounds, against only 2.7l6720 pounds in the
same months Of last year The imports Of dress
goods amounted TO 13,2O7 .6G; pounds in the same
six months, which is equivalent to 52,S3O,G6i
yards, against 16.Sl4,G2l yards last year. More
over there were taken from warehouse during
the same months and placed on the market no
less than 1l51,67S pounds woollcn cloths and
G0l0916 yards Of dress goods. This is the rec
ord for only half a year-and the first half too
before the foreign manufacturers had learned
all that they now know Of the modes by which
the American tariff can he beaten and the Amerl.
can industries as well.
Sooner or later these facts Will have to be con-
sidered by the workers in American mills. Most

THE BEHRING SEA CLAIMS.

The International Parliamentary Conference
in session this week at Brussels is most re-
spectacle body with lofty and laudable aims
lis members doubtless all mean we'll The in
formation Of some OF them, however, appears TO
be not quite equal to their good intentions. The
result is that they now and then talk nonsense
to the dscredit and detrment Of their own
cause.
For example, on Wednesday one Of the dele
gates, Mr. Shape. of Liverpool, took up a
solemn burden of prophecy against the United
States. charging it with unfaithfulness TO the
principles of international arbitration because,
he said this country or its Congress had refused
Ito vote the sum Of money decided upon by the
"Behring Sea Tribunal of Arbitration in settle
'ment Of claims Of British subjects There was
just enough Of truth in that statement TO make
ii seem plausible, and 10 give it, If uncontradic-
ed, much power for mischief. Happily, 1t was
at once contradicted. Mr.. w. II. Cremer. lately
q member of the British Parliament rose TO
correct Mr.. Shape. He explained that the United
States had not refused to pay the award, but
had merely postponed doing so on account Of
some unfounded claims. to the payment Of which
it objected. That explanation appeared 10 sat
isfy the Conference, as it should have done
Mr. Cremer Is IL gentleman Of much enthusiasml
who is sometimes rather impractical, and has
by some Of his critics been called "faddist"
On this occasion he was In the right, and he did
a graceful and honorable thing.
A further explanation might here be added,
which Mr.. Cremer courteously refrained from
making That is, that the award in question
was arranged by the United States Department
Of State on its own responsibility, in manner
which, in the case Of less august authority,
might well be reckoned scandalOus; that claims
VIGOROUSLY and confessedly extortionate, If not
altogether false. were granted without discrm-

unwelcome facts they are. and they do not give
much support to the belief that wages materially
higher than have been paid in the first half OF
1870 when these enormous importations oc-
Cured. can be paid by most Of the American
mills. In exceptional cases, where special qual-
,ties or grades of goods are manufactured the
domestic maker may be able to defy competition
under existing duties. even though the Foreign
goods are greatly underyalued But the pam
truih is that the American workingman Is con
demned to lower wages. not by the III VIII OF
the greed of manufacturers, but by the free-
Trade fanaticsm and folly Of Democrats WHO
enacted the present tariff II they wish 10 or
