A Card.

In reply to Charles V. Porter's
card in last weeks Eenterprise, re-
plying to an article in the Popu-
list of 26th of August, signed, "A
Sixth Ward Citizen" | beg to in
form Mr.. Porter that the under
signed IL the writer of said aaticle.
Now, instead of Mr.. Porter an
swering this article like a man who
could boast of q hairs breadth OF
good common sense would have
done, he, MIR. Porter, comes out
with a TRADE Of personal abuse
and offers no argument whatever,
contradictory or otherwise, con-
corning said article, which is prae-
tically ain acknowledgment of the
assertion made, concerning Mr..
Porter, in the said article. He,
Mr.. Porter stated that he had made
up his mind to do thus and SO in
regard to irresponsible newspapers
and parties that be KNEW to be IT.
responsible, but he yielded to the
temptation to bray ''iust this once, y
and it betrayed just what kind OF
an animal be is.
If the devil himself should at
tempt to create, out of all the imps
in his kingdom, u more infamous
bigot than this same Mr.. Porter,
who by bis "a Card to the Pub
lic," has already proclaimed, but
/ repeat it that he is a liar, why,
the devil would have to transport
bis material from other planets.
And as to irresponsible newspa-
pers, no other paper can claim the
honor of leading in that line while
Mr.. Porter eclipses them so badly
as editor of the Enterprise.
Now, this same Charles ". Por-
ter has the arrogance Of a Prince
and the yelping faculties of a very
common cur, which power in the
former cases he shows in ordinary
life, and when confronted with
facts, he drops back in the proper
sphere, Of which be is a poor spe-
cimen of the dog race. This dirty
little puppy, called G. V. Porter,
Wishes as to lay aside manly means
Of argument, our pen, and resort
to more brutal force to settle this
matter. / am man competent to
argue my positions, and have a
good cause to advocate but it is
quite different with this infamous
polluted scoundrel, he wishes to re-
sort to methods characteristic OF
his cur kind. | don't propose to
pay any more attention to the
barks OF this yelpiDg pup, and
will treat all articles be may write
with the proper contempt, ISL
lence."

Atlantic mines at Houghton. Mich,

ciiic advances a 10 per cent, the

PENNSYLVANIA Railway employees at
Egg Harbor City, N. j., receive an adj
vance OF Is per cent in wages.
Wages of miners at Creole, Col, adj
vanced 20 per cent.
The above are a few of the nuIner-
Gus announcements of increased wages
under the provisions OF the Dingley
law. which are presented as occurring
simultaneously with the single reduc-
ton in cotton mill wages about which
the free traders are making so much
noise. In contrast with this gencr-
ally improved condition, both in
wages and number of people employed,
the following statement is quoted as
representing the condition in the au-
tumn Of 1893. the corresponding period
of the Cleveland administration, being
taken from the American Ecor3 mist,
which bases its statement upon the
reports presented by Bradstreet's and
Dun's commercial publications. 1t is
as follows:
In a carefully prepared synopsis
OF existing conditions, based on the
reports of 900 correspondents, living in
Al states. and representing all divi-
sions and subdivisions of trade, man
ufacturing and agriculture, we have
arrived at the following: Out of 49,
40i hands employed in mills and fac
tories OF various kinds In the week
ending Nov. S, 1892, but 56,364 were
SAbPAoENu 6tp%s ~ 1890 - thio A6t0
Gil per cent of all the manufacturing
wage earners of the United States
have been thrown out of employment
in the period covered by these reports.
Considering that they cover 600 points
in Al states. it would seem as if they
furnished a fair basis fer estimate.
The same authority reports that a
number OF eIspioyes whose weekly
wage list averaged $1,509,S9 for sew
eral months preceding Nov. 5. 1892,
were discussing no mere than s459,089
during the week ending Sept, 2, 1893.
This indicates a s%hrinkage Of 6g1s per
cent in the wage fund of the country.
From a basis of 65, 900, 900 of people,
one in every five being a wage Garner,
1t is estimated that this would show
a weekly s%hrinkage of wages to the
extent of $4,000, 900 for the week
ending Sept. 2, 1898, as compared to
the week ending Nov. 5, 1892

That ChInese wall.

How about the Chinese WALL? In
August and September, 1896, under the
Wilson-Gcrman monstrosity, our ex-
ports to Belgium were worth ss,14s.-
5l9; in the same months of 1897 they
were worth $li, 0S9, $40. In these two
months Of 1896 our exports to France
were OF the value of SIS, 1888, 631. and In
1897 they counted as $l4,250,437. Our
exports to all parts of the world stood
at sl07 OF 1856 in August amt Septem-
Der of 1896, and at s131. 44G 1868 for the
like period OF 1885,.
The Democrats told US that as soon
as We bought less from foreign coun-
tries We should sell less to them; and
they spoke OF the new tariff as a Chi
nese wall. designed TO keep out trade.
Well, in round numbers. we bought
less by SIS. 900. 900 from foreign coua-
tries in August and September Of this
year than in the corresponding period
OF 1896: but we sold more to foreign
nations by considerably over $4,000
900. These figures prompt the Ques-
ton. How about the Chinese wall?-
