TROLLEY TIE UP.
No Rapid Transit on Grove
Street Unless the Com
pany Will Pay the
City.

The Street and Water Commissioners
at their meeting this afternoon, took nc
action on the petition of the North Hud-
son County Railway to change the mo-
tive power on its Grove street line. The
company is anxious to get rid of It's Ole
horse cars and substitute trolleys The
property owners along the line are di-
vided as to the advisability of allowing
the proposed change. The Street ano
Water Commissioners will not move until
the property owners arrive at some agree
ment.
The Mayor this afternoon sent the fol.
lowing communication to the Street ane
Water Board
Gentlemen-In order that there may
not be any misunderstanding OF my
attitude in the question of granting
franchises to railroad companies,
think the present proper time 10
express views by which l will be gov
erned in acting upon resolutions CIV
ing privileges to carriers who main
tain railroads in the streets OF Jersey
City.
The revenue now derived from the
street railway companies lis so small
that it is evident the privileges hereto
fore granted were underestimated by
those who gave them. # It had peen
insisted upon. no one Will doupt lnat
en- Jersey City at least one hundred
thousand dollars more each year.
Everything seems to have been given
for the asking.
Against this and other abuses the
voters of Jersey City entered their
protest last April, endorsing the
declaration in the platform upon which
the officers then elected were chosen.
I accepted that platform and ex-
pect to live up to it's declarations, 1t
declared that privileges should not be
granted without proper compensation.
The promises of that platform cannot
be broken without dishonof, and con-
slider that breach of a public pledge
cannot be excused any more than
could the falsehood in a private busi-.
ness transaction.
Entertaining this view, l shall veto
any resolution granting privileges in
the streets of this city which does not
make a proper contribution to the
public revenue a condition of the
grant.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD HOOS,
MayOr.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. II, 1888
A shut down, the most complete in the
history of the cotton mills of New Bed
ford, began this morning. Not a spin
die is turning nor a loom in motion IN
the factories of the cloth corporations an
hour after the usual time of beginning
work. Between 40 and so operatives went
into Bristol mill, and rs or 80 into the
Whitman, but aside from these no mills
made any show of running, and these
two soon shut down. Nine corporations
operating Is mills, in which upwards of
5000 hands are employed, are involved in
the strike The cut down is uniform all
over the city, 10 per cent. The total
payroll of these corporations is estimat-
ed at 10000 weekly.

BIDDEFORD, Me-, Jan. H. 1SsS.-Every
department of the Pepperell & Laconia
mills in this city, and all the departments
of the York mills in Saco with, the excep-
tion of the Carding and mule spinning
rooms are shut down fiat this morning as
a result of the decision of the operatives
to resist 10 per cent. reduction in wages
which was to go into effect today. The
Dressers' Union, who are the leaders in
the strike movement, had a meeting at
$3.50 o clock for the purpose of keeping the
members away from the mill gates, and
although most of the other operatives
went into their rooms as usual, they came
out again almost Immediately, the gates
which aHe usually locked after seven
o'clock being opened to allow them to
leave the mills. At. eight O'Clock every
department of the Pepperell and Laconia
mills was shut down and $500 operatives
and 200 600 spindles were idle.
At the York mills in Saco, the weavers
followed the example of the operatives on
the Biddeford side of the river. and re-
manned out and were, followed by the
slashers and ring spinners. 1t was then
expected that others would come out and
that the York mills would also be COM
PEELED to close. The cut at these mills is
said to average II per cent. There are
15O0 operatives and 51,264 spindles The
management of the mills refuse to say
what their policy will be regarded the
action of the operatives.

S WARCESFER, Mass, Jan. IT, 1S9S-A
reduction in wages of about 10 per cent
went into effect today at the Linwood

The Baskerville Manufacturing Com
pany, also cut wages this morning about

work.
The operatives at all of these mills
have quietly submitted to the cut down
and went into work as usual today. The
mills are among the best in the Black
stone Valley and make fine and. fancy
goods. The weavers have been making
from SIS to S12 per week, with an average
of SO. Under the new schedule. the av-

The Dingley tariff bears inspection
from another standpoint than that OF
the stickler for the protection OF Amer
lean industrial interests. The people OF
this country abhor u deficit in the ma
tIonal treasury as much as nature alb
hors vacuum. How does the Dingley
tariff turn out as revenue producer?
That Is a fair question. Well, in the
face of the large reduction of importa-
tions of manufactured goods. the Ding
ley law in its first five months came
within an average of $l.000.000 per
month OF producing customs revenues
equaling those collected under the cor
responding five months Of the Wilson
law. In other words. the new law is
in fair way of meeting the double ex-
pectation of producing revenue ade-
quate for the support Of the govern
ment and at the same time reducing
the importations OF those classes OF
goods manufactured by the great in
dustries of the nation and the millions
whom they employ" The importations
OF sugar and wool, which are largely
relied upon to bring the revenue up to
satisfactory figure. have not yet
reached anything like their normal vol
ume. the importations OF sugar in jan
uary being less than half the usual
amount for that month. and those OF
wool being less than half those Of the
corresponding month Of 1895 and rs per
cent less than those OF the correspond
ing month in the last year Of the Nc
Kinley law The receipts Of the treas
ury thus far this month have averaged
over 100000 per day. and when wool
and sugar reach their normal importa-
tion. as 1t is expected they will do very
soon, 1t is believed that the revenues
will prove equal to the current expendi-
lures.
Such are the fruits Of protection

Those democratic members OF con-
gress who close their eyes to the fact
that prosperity is everywhere apparent
and refuse to see the infallible signs Of
improved Industrial conditions. do SO
for political effect alone. The contrast
between the memorable years OF '94
and '95. when our highways were
crowded with workingmen wandering
from town to town in search of work.
and subsIsting upon the charity OF the
cities and towns. is SO strongly marked
that the wonder Is that they would ex-
pose their ignorance by asserting that
prosperity has not already pitched its
tent in our country, and in every sec
tion is giving exhibitions morning,
noon and night. In every section OF
Westmoreland county and western
Pennsylvania are to be found indis-
putable evidences of prosperous times.
In all this country there Is not a
smokeless stack, and in many sections
Is this true. not only during the day
but for the eEt!re twenty-four hours,
owing to the great demand for the pro-
ductions of these hives Of industry.
The swarms OF idle men found on our
highways in 'o4 and '95 hunting work,
have found that coveted boon and are
no longer strangers in q strange land
without SO much as crust Of bread
or a place to lay their heads. They
have secured work. and are once more
happy and contented. The coal mines
and coke works are taxed to their ut
most to supply the demand made upon
them. Farmers and more ready sale
for their products. and at better prices.
too. Laborers are sought for instead
of having to do the seeking themselves,
only to find that their services were
not needed. Money is easier; in fact.
there is none so blind or pretudiced as
not to admit that we are again sailing
on prosperous sea.-Greensburg (Pa.)
