1t appears that during the first six months
uader the new tariff there were practically
no ad vances, and in March the only consider
able advance was by the Frick Coke Com
pany. credited with 1900 hands. After
Congress had adjourned, and not before, the
rise BEGAN with a, 400 hands in April, reached
again r. 100 in July, and has since been less
than 5000 per month. OF the manufacturing
hands. about 90, ,0OO IN nuinber, almost half
are OF the iron industry alone, about y per
cent of the cotton industry, only about IA per
cent. of the WOODEN industry and about per
cent. Of all other manufacturing concerns.
The iron industry has been able TO advance
prices 53 per cent. since March without meet
ing new foreign competition until this month,
and has raised wages about a quarter OF the
iron working hands III this country. The
cotton industry has realized profit of ell,
0OO,OO0 on cotton bought whom ~ was cheap,
and has raised wages about third of the cot.
ton workers in this country. Not nth of
the wooden workers have gained, not terlh
OF the miners and not a twcDtieth OF the
hands employed in all other manuf2c:ures.
The advance averages for all TN ;eT.SsO hands
1912 per cent, about half tho reduction in lSol
and 1894. Such Is the record of The year, and

Remarkable Meetings.

were those at the Pearl Street Church
yesterday. In spite of the rain, good au-
diences were present. Mr.. j. A. Birkholz
of New York city led the singing, and
gave several solos with fine expression
and effect.
Mr.. Pratt preached two powerful ser
mons, and made an impressive address to
the Sunday school, and about 20 new
cases OF inquiry resulted.
His subject in ;he morning was "Saved
10 Serve. Christians, he affirmed, are
called TO bear Christ's yoke, that is TO be
"yoked up with Him." When this Is the
case they sre strong TO do effective SER
vice. But they are uniaithful 10 Him,
their very profession becomes a source OF
weakness and annoyance just as one-half
OF broken yoke becomes hindrance to
the animal that bears IL.
Meetings every evening this week, and
on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, at
4:30, Mr. Birkholz will give two of his
unique "chalk talks" Young people are
specially invited; but older ones are not
excluded. over 30 persons more now ex-
pressed their determination 10 ptgin a

That Quincy Quibble.
Boston Advertiser

The Herald rebukes with just and perfectly
fair severity MIR. Josiah Quincy FOR his
monstrous Quibbling. when IN his speech Ms
chairman Of the late Massachusetts Democratic
convention, he had the gall 10 chide the Re-
publican party for failure TO support fresi-
dent Cleveland's efforts In behalf of sound
money. The Herald reminds Mr. Quincy Of
what IL Is inconceivable that he could have
forgotten, namely, that during the extra ses.
sion Of Congress, which tho President called
to secure tho repeal OF tho silver purchafing
clause of the sherman act, the Democrats or
the House gave party majority in favor OF
re-enacting the odious Bland bll, and that in
the Senate IL was impussib BILE for the President
10 obtain a party majority in favor OF silver
purchase repeal: ana that in both House ana
Senate The Republicans were Overwhelmingly
with the President, who succeeded solely on
account OF their firm and loyal support In
this matter The Herald's course Is as honor
able, that OF Mr. Qulncy's was--wcil,

the reputation of the man or by the cir

lice have kept close watch over him.
The vigilance of the police was rewarded
Saturday night. The officers were on the
opposite side OF the street from the house
when Smith came across the street and

was taken prisoner Immediately. Peo-
pie entered the burning house, and upon
hurried investigation found that the own

From this pile of infiammable material

rooms, evidently for the purpose of caus-
ing the fire TO spread rapidly. The fire
did spread rapidly, and before assistance
could reach the scene the building site
