LABoR,s SHARE OF THE PRODUCT.

The commissioner Of labor, in the
March bulletin Of his department, takes
occasion to correct, in an editorial note.
a misleading statement that has gone
the rounds Of the press, in which he
Is made to say that the census shows
that labor gets but 17.S per cent Of
the product, while the employer gets
S2.2 per cent. So far as relates to the
latter assertion, he says it should also
DE stated that, as shown by the CEN
sus Of 1890, while the share of labor Of
the value Of the whole product was 2O.1S
per cent, the remaining 1882 per cent
was represented by 55.oS per cent, which
went for the materials on which labor
was employed, and 24.74 per cent went
to the employer to defray salaries, in
tereSt administrative expenses and
profits.
While it Is proper that the statements
attributed to Mr.. Wright should be
accurate. and while any one might
know, on moments reflection. that
the employer could not get all the re-
mainder, the fact remains that imports
OF foreign goods are taxed, even under
the reduction made by the senate bill,
from two to three times the entire
percentage Of labor cost in the home
made goods. And this under the pre-
tense Of protecting" the workingman
with tariff that should "equalize the
difference between home and foreign
labor" This deceit will exist lust as
long as workingmen permit themselves
to be deceived that some one may
make unreasonable profits.

A Remarkable Photoeranb.

Prof. Boys, Of London, recently delivered
an illustrated lecture in which he showed
photographs of the Lee-Metford bullet as il
passed through a quarter-inch sheet Of glass.
Just before the bullet touched the sheet the
air wave cut a disk Of glass about an inch in
diameter clean out. At the same time the
glass around the hole was crushed into pow
der and driven back at an extremely rapid
rate. The glass stuck to the bullet for a
short time after 1t had passed through, the

CALLING FOR RECIPROCITY.

! A very strong movement is behind
the two bills pending in the house of
representatives working for the re-
! enactment of the Blaine reciprocity
clause of the tariff bill of 1890. The
! Aillers' association, comprising $4,000
millers in all parts Of the United States,
/ is especially interested in the subject
( The milling industries received a great
I impetus from the beneficent workings
of Blaine's reciprocity plan. New mar
| kets were opened for American -four,
| new business was created, and both
! farmers and miIlerS and dealers in flour
products shared in the general prosper
ity that followed
Two bills are now in the hands of the
ways and means committee calling for
the re-enactment of the reciprocity
clause inserted in the tariff bill of 1890.
So far little attention has been paid TO
these bills. Some hearings have been
arranged, but 1t seems TO be understood
that there shall be no tariff legislation
by the present congress. and the millerS
are growing indignant at the treatment
they are receiving. They insist that if
the edict has gone forth that these bills
shall die. the farce of public hearings
on the measures should not be con
tinued.
1t Is interesting to notice the change
in public sentiment in the attitude Of
several statesmen Oh this same sub
Ject of reciprocity. 1t is well known
that IL was a favorite theme with
James G. Blaine. II might almost be
called his hobby. His persistency
alone secured the insertion of the reci-
procity clause in the tariff bill of 1890. (
But not even his unanswerable argu-
mentS in support OF his favorite mea-
sure secured the assent Of some very
distinguished Republicans who are
now loud IN praise Of reciprocity. When I
the Mckinley bin left the house II con- /
tanned no plan or encouragement for I
developing reciprocal trade with other 4
nations. Mr.. Mckinley and other /
leading Republicans in the house op- !

THE POSTS SYMPATHY.

The New York Evening Post has
taken upon itself the unenviable task
of defending General Weyler against
the charges Of brutality made against
him by Senators Sherman, Morgan and
others, basing lis denial OF alleged
cruelties on the part Of the Spanish
general in Cuba, upon the lately pub
| liShed asseverations of the Spanish
minister at Washington. This is on
| par with combining the evidence in a
| criminal trial TO the criminal, for the
| sufficient reason that the Spanish min
lister is as much a part Of the devilish
governmental machinery which is try
ing TO crush the revolution ia Cuba, as
the general who was chosen for his
mercilesS treatment of prisoners of
war,
1t is not so much that the Spanish
butcher, who is on trial before the bar
of civilization, as the Spanish govern
ment. whose entire history consists of
an unbroken line of wholesale rapine
and slaughter, and it will require more
reliable testimony than that of the
Spanish government or any of her
plant seryile instruments of chronic
savagery, TO eXonerate her from well
substantiated accusations. 1t is rea-
sOnable and fair TO assume that prom
inent senators and congressman who
are in sympathy with the Cuban pa
triots are in possession of sufficient
evidence to authorize their action. and
it is quite certain that the great mass Of
the American people is prepared to ac-
cept their statements of Spanish atroc-
tiles in Cuba, rather than the unsup- |
ported assertions of interested parti- |
sans like DeLome, the Post and u few |
other recreant Americans whose SYM |
pathies are enlisted on the side of OPP |
preston. For an American newspaper /
to speak disparagingly and contempt
uOusly Of the struggling Cubans and in
the same breath try TO cOndOne the
crimes of an effete monarchy, is an in
suit to the country that gave them
birth and treason against humanity.
