cau,,,e OF Inc Collon strike.

81 The attempt OF Democratic politicians.
to make political capital ou. of the
strike situation in the New England
cotton mills against the Dlngley bill
Is not meeting with the success they had
4 hoped for. AS The facts connected with
the causes leading up to the strike come
out, and the public becomes familiar
with them, this dcmagogic effort OF the
I free traders to make the condition OF af-
fairs appear to be due 10 the workings OF
the Dlngley tariff becomes as absurd as
I; the endeayor OF the Bryaniles to squeeze
/ aSfree silver moral out Of It.
The whole matter was effectively COW
ored by Representative Dlnglcy, OF
Maine, in speech delivered by him in
Congress last Thursday. in which nc
made the point that the chief cause OF
the strike is the difference in the hours
I oflabor between Republican New Eng
Hand and the Democratic south. Under
4 the laws In Republican New, England
!, the operators cannot work their em-
ployes more than Ken hours per day,
while in the south where the state laws
provide eleven and twelve hour working
Z days, employees in the cotton factories
are rquired 70 work eleven hours a day.
Mr.. Dinglcy also proved that the rate
%of wages in the south Is lower than in
Ssthe north; so that, with lower wages and
longer hours, the difference in favor OF
< the southern operator Is from twenty
7stozthIrty per cent. Mr.. Dlngley also
very properly and pertlnently brought
9out the point that The intent OF the pro-
ectiye features OF the tariff is to regulate
accmpetition with foreign labor's pro-
ducts, md cannot affect competition
" on these points within our own country.
Vie also showed that one of the causes
(. was the overprodtictlon OF cotton. tho

ed, thus forcing a decline OF prices, the
United States producing seventy per

American Guns Mt Havana.
The ordering ofthe United States bat
tieship Maine into Cuban waters, al
legged to be at the request OF Consul
General Lee, has revived the statements,
which have been made from time to
time, that crisis Is rapidly approach
ing in the Cuban situation with refer
ence to the relations Of this country to
sthe question. There seems no reason,
beyond the assertions OF gosslps at the
national capital, to believe THAI the
/ cause of the sudden action Is other than
that which has been given out from on
cIal quarters. The action may! be Z no
more significant than the one which has
been taken by Germany. with view to
prosect the interests Of German subjects
during the disturbances that are occur
I ring at Havana. ~, "a 81.
Certain It is, however. that the Presl-
dent. by whose direct order the battle
ship proceeded to Havana, IS carrying
out his promise to General Lee to be
governed by his judgment. While no
United States seems to be Immediately
threatened, It appears that the adminls-
tration. acting on the Recommendation OF
the consul general, In whom It has per-
feet confidence, and who has the
confidence of the American public, has
determined to be prepared for an emer-
\ ,gency, should one arise. There Is no
I threat to Spain conveyed in the order.
It's a precaution which every supporter
otthe administrations policy felt would
Z be taken at any time when 1t was
deemed advisable. It is an indication,
also.a that should q crisis come, making
Z II necessary for the President to take
prompt and effective action. he will not
beitound wanting.
Carping critics never will find their
freely made charge of weakness on the
part Of the President made good. It is
3 to the credit OF the man who is at the
helm that he has not been carried away
by the demands of the jlngoes, and that
all obligations have been carefully re-
l5eIected.
In the meantime. should at any time
the gliYes and property of Americans IN
Cuba be in danger, the picked squadron
OF the Atlantic coast, 1t may be assured.
will be ready to respond. Between the
two extreme elements comprised OF
those who are for war at any cost and
those who are for peace at any price
stands a conservative, level-headed ad-
ministration that will guard the integ
\ rity. and honor of the American naton,
regardless Of the critics at either of the
radical ends OF the line.

but with an entire absence OF architec-

San Severino and several land batteries
are relied on. For commercial impor-
lance Matanzas ranks next to Havana
ard it is connected by railways with
Havana, Cardenas and other principal
towns on the island.
Prior TO the outbreak of the last rev.

The valley of the Yumuri. one OF the

as long, deep cut between two ridges
of hills, but its full beauty and rich
ness are not apparent till the valley Is
seen from above. The ridge by the val
ley is favorite point of observation for
sightseers. The climb up the hill to
the church which the devout Galatians
have erected for votive offerings TO the
Virgin Of Monserrat is toilsome one.
