Republican candidate for governor of Vir-
ginia, but was overwhelmingly defeated.
An InterestinR E1nosure.

A correspondent of the New York Trib.
une, who has made careful investigation
of the subject, exposes the peculiarly men.
dacious means which certain free-trade
clubs have used in creating the impression
that there has been large and general in
crease in wages during the first year of the
new tariff. The method of operation has
been to prepare extended lists of concerns
which have raised wages, with the number
of men employed, and furnish these lists
to free-trade papers for publication. The
nature of the frauds practiced will be read
lily understood when it is stated that the
Carnegie company, owning large num-
Der of mills in nine separate establishments
and said to employ 5000 men, is first put
down for the full number, and then the
nine different establishments owned by
the company are all put down separately,
making $1,000 more men whose wages
were advanced. The Mahoning and Shen-
ango furnaces are put down once as a
body with 1000 hands, the Mahoning sep
arately as having 1000, and one of these,
the Thomas, of Niles, is given separately
with 800 hands, and again with ATS, while
of the Shenango furnaces all the Newcastle
works are entered with 500 and are repeat
ed. The wire-nail works of Ohio are Civ
en- as a body, 5000 hands; then two of
them, the Salem and Findlay, are separate
ly given twice, each time with 6,000, and
again repeated without number, while the
Bellaire works, also in Ohio, are given
with 1000 and three times repeated, and
the Junction works Of Mingo Junction,
with 800 hands, and the Bellaire steel
works, with 500, are also separately given.
In this fashion the Carnegie, Ohio wire
nail and the Mahoning and Shenango
works, said to have 81 200 hands, are suf-
ficiently repeated to make up an aggregate
of 6S, ATS hands. These Implications swell
the list to $4,000, and still more glaring
fraud is perpetrated by adding to it the
names of establishments which are not to
be found in the best trade directories.
The Tribune correspondent concludes
that the elimination of these frauds cuts
down the number of concerns raising
wages by more than one-third and the
number of hands affected nearly 40 per
cent. OF the manufacturing hands whose
wages have been actually raised almost
half are in the iron industry alone and
about 2S per cent in the cotton industry.
There has unquestionably been partial
and gradual recovery of the business of the
country as a whole during the past year,
and an improvement in the condition of
many of the working men, but it is piece
of folly for the free-trade partisans to set
up claim that it is the new tariff which
has done it.
