the worcy conflict at full pitch for the year or
more before the next general election; and. de-
spite the authoritative and inspired declara tons
of little while ago, that dissolution was i'm
pending and was actually fixed for few davs
after Easter, it is now seen that, as we have
consistently assumed in these columns the pres
ent House Of COMMONS is likely to last until
the end OF its constitutional term. A year or
so hence, therefore, we may expect TO see the
tariff reform campaign renewed with all pos
sible vigor. Meantime the American echoes

PASS THE BTJLDIyG LAW.

1t is greatly TO be regretted that the Board of
Aldermen has not yet taken favorable action
on Alderman Davies's ordinance designed TO
prevent such accidents as the recent Darlington
collapse This measure gives TO the Superin-
tendent of Buildings summary power to stop
work structures in process Of erection when
in his Judgment such work is a menace to life
and limb. This ordinance was introduced at
the instance of The Tribune and of the Republi-
County Committee. 1t was drawn under
the direction Of ex-Judge Mayer, former counsel
TO the Buildings Department and an expert in
this branch Of law. The aldermen have re-
ceived the measure in friendly spirit but one
thing after another has so far interfered with
its becoming a law.
To the influence OF The Tribune and Of the
Republican County Committee has been added
the sanction Of the grand jury, which in recent
presentment urged the passage of such n law as
Alderman Davies has fathered. 1t is to be
hoped that the aldermen at their meeting to-
day will send the measure to Mayor Mcclellan.
If it had been on the statute book, the Darling
ton disaster in all probability, would not have
occurred. 1t should become law at once to
prevent another such accident The aldermen
should act. and act quickly, on the theory that

BVSY LEGISLATORS

More than fifteen thousand bills introduced in
the lower house OF Congress, and more than
six thousand in the Senate! How amazing such
totals! 1t is true that only a comparatively
moderate percentage of these proposed enact
ments became laws. But was not the task of
sitting out so huge a grist of projected legisla-
ton almost appalling, and. with the constant
additions TO the statutes as adopted at Wash
ingtOn and at the various State capitals OF the
Union, will there ever be an end to the making
of lawbooks?
Thousands Of years ago the Wise Man in
Ecclesiastes declared that Of the making of
many books there is no end Nevertheless
there were no Parllaments, Senates, Congress
men or other bodies of legislators when the au-
thor of the Book OF Ecclesiastes was writing
his comments on men and things.

Old RATES STILL KEPT Up

Our State Legislature adjourned without tax
Ing action toward the reduction Of the rates
which pawnbrokers are allowed TO exact; and
yet the present schedules, which were estab-
iished many years ago. when the savings banks
were all paying per cent interest are not , lIy
unreasonable. but unjust. Loans, mortgages and
investments Of every kind in the period when
the existing figures were settled by the State
government for the benefit of those lenders
who advertise their business by displaying the
signs OF the three golden balls comma nded
much higher returns than they do now
The men who advance money on pledges have
been for decades peculiarly and mysterlousIy

law TO get from their unfortunate patrons in
excusably excessive payments upon the prin-
eipal or the loans which they make Why
should they not share the common lot of sub

invested! The pawnbrokers run no risks what
ever. They are careful and expert appraisers
or the market certalnties of the stuff upon
which they pay out money, and few OF them
ever make the mistake of even ordinary liner

which the pledges could be disposed OF at any

increase in population. But including agricult-
ure there has been a net loss. While the in
crease has been $4,000, IL should have been, in
proportion to the population, 62S,00O, so that
there has been q proportionate loss of 10000
There are $4,000 fewer men employed in those
trades than there should be, 70 maintain the
standard of prosperity of twenty years ago.
Finally, putting the two categories together
we find that in the fourteen trades there has
been in twenty years an increase or 56lOoo
when, 10 keep pace with the population there
should have been an increase of 999,OOO Really
there has been a proportionate loss of $4,000.
Now that is an impressive fact, that 43S0oO
persons are out OF work who would be en-
ployed if conditions of industry were now as
good as they were twenty years ago II is
fact that must appeal strongly to worklngmen-
trade unionists and -uniOnsts alike More
over it is highly significant that the greatest
loss has been in those trades in which Great
Britain has to meet foreign competition and
the least loss has been in those in which, from
the nature of the case. there is no competition.
The gist Of the matter is. then, that foreign
competition is driving British wOrkmen into
idleness at the rate of $4,000 a year. Such n
process as that is not compatible with prosper
fly. The only answer the Cobdenite makes is
that it cannot be helped, for it would be wicked
to protect British wOrkmen against foreign
competition But we are inclined TO think that
when British workingmen have a chance to
choose between the "wickedness of protection
and the what you-may -call-it OF being thrown
out OF work and into pauperism, they will pref
" promptly decide in favor Of protection
