WY PFSTLTS ARE so UNEQUAL

I'm October 1892. The last month before the
Presidential election which turned over the law
making and Executive power to the Democratic
Marty. the mills and furnaces OF the Country
were fully employed and hands were getting
the best wages, on the whole. they have ever re-
cclvcL. Home competition was so vigorous that
Il had reduced prices 10 consumers In two years
under the Republican tarir-n all iron and steel
products. for instance-iS per cent, and yet the
profits in manufacture sufficient to encour-
ngc rapid extension Of the producing force. 1t
will not be denied that these were conditions
I'm the highest degree favorable for the wage
Garner because promising further develop
mcnt Of the demand for labor TO keep pace with
the increase in population and In number OF
hands TO be employed.
Nearly three years have passed, and, as all
know, these have not been years OF prosperity.
The production has been greatly reduced, and
now. after months Of rapid improvement. swelled
by the accumulation OF deferred work. IL not rs
large on the whole. as 1t was In 1882. The
wages Of many thousand hands have been
raised. perhaps more generally In the iron and
steel manufacture and the supply Of It's ma
tcrials than In other departments and yet they
are by no means up to the level Of 1892. Three
years Of increase In population have brought
more hands to be employed. and more mouths
TO he fed. but not more work, and actually less
wages.
II Is natural that results have been I'M
equal because the change Of duties has been
unequal. In the cotton manufacture, as a whole.
the reduction Of duties was about fifth, 2118
per cent; In metal production, as a whole, about
three-eighths, or 37.37 per cent In silk goods,
about an eighth. or 1898 per cent, and In wool
lens over one-half, 505 per cent Besides these
extraordinary differences In the rates OF duty
reduction. there were differences even greater
in effect, because ad valorem duties were In some
classes substituted for specific, making 1t easy
TO rob Government and beat down home indus
tries by differentiation Of imports. These ex-
IRENE irregularities In the change OF duties were
not intelligeny graduated to fit any real or sup
posed public need, but resulted from the greater

Mr.. Hackett's personal illusions to Mr.. Brook
field are Of small consequence, but they too dis
close rather more Of the internal working OF the
machinery of the management than seems DIS

Of passion that every one OF the members OF
that management Is quite as honorable man
.as William Brookfied ever was-that no one
"of them has ever yet been known to turn ana
.bite the hand that fed him and that had done
"him oft-repeatcd klndncsses." The obvious III
ference is that Mr.. Brookfeld has turned anu
bitten the hand that fed him. and that, OF COURSE
is the hand Of Mr. Thomas G. Plat. IL would
be interesting to know precisely how this iced

known. has not fed much on public ofnce IL

by what charter Mr.. Platt feeds anybody with
office. as well as how his feeding anybody with
office should compel the person so fed 10 become

foo much. He would do well to return to the
Florida wilds and cork up. The st. Lawrence
wilds tap his fuency too much.

soldier in the Russian army. But he was never
dclu,led with tho notion that Russia was fighting
for Bulgarian freedom. or for anything but self
sh conquest. He knew perfectly well that Rus

Naturally he objected to any such scheme. He
preferred even the cmeter to the knout but he
believed Bulgaria might be kept free from both.
1t was he who kept her free, more than any
other man. That brought and centred the wrath
of Russia upon him-the wrath OF the conqueror

of modern history than the story of his defiance

before Good Government Club last night Mr..
Roosevelt directed attention TO the fact, which
the advocates Of lawbreaking are unwilling to
recognize. that the Sunday law has frequently
been enforced with the result Of bringing more

would have been against Warden Raabe and his

Jury that the escape was made possible pri-
marily. by the purchase Of extraordinary priv
ileges through the simple expedient or becoming
boarders at the Warden's table. For $50 per
week each they enjoyed every conceivable priv
ilege except that which they took without asking
when they walked out Of Jail. To the comic
opera aspect Of the case is added the feature
that Warden Raabe and Keeper McCaDe were
so sOlicitous for the comfort Of their prisoners
that they played cards with them. We wonder
il it was poker? Who won? Were the stakes
high? The men seem to have had plenty or
money which was supplied to them during their

The arguments that have already been offered
for charging the Republican State Committee
are supplemented. In graphic and forcible man
ner, this morning by the letter Of our Albany
correspondent. The utter unfairness Of the ex-
listing basis Of representation, in consequence OF
which the majority Of Republican voters do not
possess a majority in the committee, Is pointed
out and the responsibility Of it placed where 1t
belongs-on Mr.. Platt who actually proposes to
prevent any enlargement Of the committee or
any change in the Congress districts until after
the next National Convention 1t Is possible that
the great Republican party Of this State may
permit him to have his way in the matter, but
The Tribune has serious doubts on the subject.
1t will be strange if the Horn -Harvey debate
which was begun yesterday in Chicago does not
excite extraordinary interest throughout the
length and breadth Of the land. 1t is an entirely
novel intellectual combat In which many Of the
weapons generally used upon the platform, and
many Of the devices usually depended on to gain
the applause Of the public, will not be used at
all. The speeches Of the first day show that both
men have carefully laid their plans, and that so
far as Mr. Horr Is concerned, there will be an
energetic and comprehensive attack on all the
cial School" Mr.. Harvey's mental agility will
doubtless be put to the test in meeting Mr. Horr's
onslaughts.
The death Of the Rev. Arthur Brooks Is made
inexpressibly sad by Its accompanying clrcum-
stances. Only three weeks ago he sailed for Eu-
rope in the hope Of finding surcease Of suffering
from the dread disease which had fastened upon
him some time before lie was disappointed,
and was returning to his home on the same
steamer on which he had been an ou,ward-bound
passenger when he died at sea. Though filling
. smaller place In the public eye than his distn-
guished brother. he was a man of extraordinary
devotion and zeal. Of high order Of ability and
richly endowed with gentle gifts and graces
His death will be deeply and sincerely deplored
