Labor’s Opportunity.'
As the result of a meeting of workers
in the textile manufacturies of Phila-
delphia, a delegation representing fifty
thousand omrators,,®on'whom a quar-
ter of a million of people depend, have
appeared before the " House Ways and
Means Committee at Washington. The
chairman of the delegation presented
a petition, wi thfen thousand signatures,
. asking that the tariff on textile fabrics
should be left at the present rate. From
a report of the hearing, we take the
following pertinent paragraphs :‘
Mr. Stewart stated that the object of
their visit was to present in person the
immense petition bearing over 10,000
individual” signatures and ask that the
committee leave the tariff of textile
manufacturesat-fthe present rate. He
read theipetition and supplemented it
with a vivid description of the condi-
tion of chairs in Kensington and other
parts of Philadelphia in the upholstery
and chenille trade.
He stated that the McKinley law had
built up that business. The trade had
increased, more work was provided at
good wages, and, prices of goods had
been reduced to the consumer. Every-
thing was going on .swimmingly' until
the industry was menaced by a change
in the tarifi'.
Mr. Turner of the Committee asked
Mr. Stewart whether workingmen would
not be benefitted b the admission of
free wool. Mr. tewart answered
promptly that the would not, inas-
much as that won (I give the foreign
dealers a monopoly of the market and
they would immediately raise the price.
As to the increased price.on. woolens,
owing to the tariff, he said it did_not
amount to two days’ wages on a suit _of
clothes, and the workingmcn were W11-
5ling to stand that.
Bynum asked how, if the manufac-
tured goods‘in his industry were cheap-
er than before the McKmley bill be-
came a law, higher wages could be
paid. He got answer that a greater
market had been created by the compo-
tition among American manufacturers
which a protective duty had engen-
dered. .
No city in the Union has a better, a
more industrious or a more intelligent
body of wage-earners than those em-
ployed in the textile establishments of
Philadelphia. They are well informed
as to the conditions which affect their'
line of work, and they unquestionably
‘,have a better knowledge of the eco-
nomic problems involved in the tarifi‘
questidh than the statesmen who at— '
tempted to make light of the petition
presented. The movement begun by
the Philadelphia workmen should be
taken up by the wagevearn'ers in every
city and town in the Union. ’
In these days of financial and eco-
nomic agitation organized labor ought
to find its opportunity for patriotic
effort. Labor organizations and labor
agitators have frequently complained
that they are excluded from the coun-
cils of the states and nation and that
the interests of the working people are
not there considered, except to forward
the partisan ends of politicians, or to
aid capitalists in efforts to rob labor.
There has been a change. It may be
that the conditions complained of have
changed, and the party which rode into
power as the champion of labor that
was being cheated and robbed, will lis-
ten to and heed labor’s demands.
If there ever was a time in American
history when laboring people were in-
terested in the decisions of Congress, it
is now. The majority of that body
propose to change the relations exist-
ing between capital and labor; to repeal
the measure that has brought prosperity
. to both capitalisits and Workman, and
to try theories that have never been
productive of prosperity to the masses
in this country.
In these conditions, if organized la-
bor has any wise counsels to give, it
should do it promptly. One of the‘
rights of American citizens, either as
individuals or as organizations, is the
right of petition. Through the exer-
cise of this right Congress can at least
be informed of what the laboring mas-
ses think. We are -sure that the intel-
ligent workingmen of this country,
have always been in favor of protect
ive tariffs, and if they have giventheir
votes against this policy they have done
so under some transient impulse of
partisanship or prejudice. We are sure,
also, that the working peeple of the
country have no desire that the pro-
tective policy shall be reversed.
Congress should be flooded with petia
tions and overwhelmed with delegations
of workingmen, emphasizing the pre-
sent desire of the people that the tariff
shall be let-alone. If orggnized labor
can effect this result, it will earn the
gratitude of the whole people, and will
. ,prove' that it is really the advocate of
‘ Elabor’s true interests. This would 'do
more to restore prosperity than alleles.
that could be done.

Struck With a Hammer.
Wednesday afternoon a number of
lads were playing in a wagon in front
of B. B. Banks’ shop at Broad River.
Mr. Banks ordered them out of the
wagon. As they appeared to take no
notice he picked up a hammer and
hurled it for the purpose of frighten-
ing them. Just then a five-year-old
son of Theodore Rogers came from the
back of a bake wagon and the hammer
struck him in the forehead fracturing
the frontal bone. The boy was picked
up unconscious and taken home. Dr.
Walter Hitchcock was summoned and
dressed the wound, and he thinks the
boy will pull through all right. Mr.
Banks feels very much aggrieved over
the, matter and says that he threw the
hammer only to frighten the boys.
Banks has been placed under arrest,
and will be given a hearing before J us-
tice Austin this evening.

Journalists on the Half-Shell.
An effort is to be made to manufac-
ture newspaper men something like the
nickel-in-the-slot machine manner, says
the New Haven Palladium. The pupil
is to go into school, and after a period
he is to issue forth a well-bred, compe-
tent, all ’round newspaper man ; that
is, the intention is to do all this.
The University of Pennsylvania will
offer amon the college courses this
year one esigned to prepare young
men for newspaper work. This course
will cover a period of four years, and
it is expected to turn out into the cold,
unfeeling world , yearly swarms of
young Greeleys, Danas, Bennetts and "
Raymonds, as well as some others who
will not achieve such success as did the
editors named.
The majority of the boys who take
this special course of instruction ,no
doubt will think it was time profitably
spent, and that much valuable informa-
tion and knowledge were gained. Per-
haps they may not be deceived, and
may realize all that they confidently
expect, but the chances are that after
graduation and they have settled down
to hard work—the real, genuine news-
paper, work and the stern, ‘inflexible
demands and requisites for the Simon-
pure article—and have consecutive
“hot” assignments, they will discover
many things they may be glad to un-
learn. This unlearning proCess, if the
young man honestly intends to make
Journalistic work a profession, will
come more naturally to his aid than
did the studies he pursued in the uni-
versity. '
To criticise college-bred young news-
paper workers is not the intention and
aim of this writ-ing. But the efi‘ort to
turn out thoroughly equipped,"'ready
made, always reliable toilers for. the
newspaper vineyard, We fear will fail,
if for no other reason than because the
young men will fail because oftheir
college training. ' _ ' -. ' -

clear-Wallace left off work, and telling
Callaghan that he wpfild be- back in a
minute, entered thqiimplige. The next

When Mr. and Mrs. ' lham returned
they found that Wallace had gone
through ‘AMrs. Pelham’s trunk and
stolen $79.50, which‘his mother was to
have deposited in thdjbank to-day. He
unlocked three doors} and 5 locked them
again, showing that! he was provided
with false keys and.‘ had planned the
robbery beforehand, He next went up
stairs to the apartments of Mrs. Charles
Stevens and stole a sllverwatch, which
formerly belonged t' :her deceased hus-
band. He overloo .d a pocketbook
containing $115, which Mrs. Stevens
had placed on top of}: book case. After

Funeral Etiquette.
The fifth annual meeting of the Fu-
neral Directors’ association of this state
convened in the Grand Army hall at
Meriden yesterday. The body listened
to the reading of papers upon topics of
interest, among which was a paper by
George B. Hawley, of Hawley, Wilmot
& Reynolds Bridgeport, upon“ Common
Sense Etiquette in Making Funeral Ar-
rangements.” ' 5*.
Among the pertinent resommenda-
tions made was one that the undertaker
should not lay down any arbitrary rule,
but should conform himself as far as
possible to the particular desires and
tastes of the family, only seeing that no
established canons of good taste were
violated. ,5.;*.
Under another head he referred to the
grave breach of etiquette sometimes
committed by families in setting or fix-
ing the time of the funeral without con-
sulting the clergyman who is to offici-
ate.
A bit of advice which speaks for itself
is that in which the impropriety of long
burial services are made apparent an
the statement made that the time will
soon come when in the churches of all
evangelical denominations the service
will be confined to simple ritualism.
Further, the principles of family§and
neighborhood etiquette are tastefully
and gracefully laid down; the matter of
invitations given passing attention and
the matter of floral offerings discussed
atlength. Particularl said Mr. Hawley
in this connection, “t e undertaker at
the request of the family may remove
cards, or cepy inventory of offerings
and leave cards of inventory with the
bereaved family to acknowledge. The
first method of procedure, viz, remov-
ing the cards, is especially desirable in
neighborhoods where idle or morbid
curiosity prompts many persons to in-
trude upon the sancity of sorrow
and make invidious comparisons as to
the extent of the individual sympathy
as evinced by their respective offerings.
Also, concluded Mr. Hawley, the sen-
sibilities of many persons are deeply
offended by. the long list of donors fre-
quently published by the newspapers.
Most people of refinement will agree
that the author of the paper has had the
“courage to say something that has long
needed saying and suggests the remedy
for a most Oppressive annoyance.
Throughout the paper was interesting
and confirms the honor frequently ac-
corded to Mr. Hawley of being . an au-
thority upon the subjects of which he
treated, .
The attendance at the sessions was
gratifying and a large amount of busi-
_ness was transacted. '

CAPITOL NOTES.
Hon. .David A. Wells, the veteran
Connecticut tarifl' reformer, has sub-
mitted a lengthy report to Secretary
Carlisle in answer to his request for an
"opinion as to the expediency, from a
strictly revenue point of view, of main-
taining or changing the present inter-'
nal revenue taxes on distilled spirits,
malt liquors, and tobacco.”
Mr. Wells’ conclusions are given in
part, as follows: V
The Wisest fiscal policy for the Fed-
eral Government, certainly for the im-
mediate future,_would seem to be to
impoye the maximum rates of taxation
on distilled spirits, fermented liquors,
and tobacco, that will not create in
face of efficient administration and se-
vere penalties, undue temptations for
revenue evasions. .
One effect of .the maintenance of
our excessively high duties on import-
ed spirits is that a greater opportunity
is offered to combinations (trusts) of
domestic producers to advance the
price of domestic consumers- and an-
other is that they encourage the domes-
tic manufacture from cheaper materials
of imitations of foreign spirits, where-
by the American consumer is induced
to use a_spurious in place of the gen-
uine article, and the Government is
defrauded of the difference in relative
taxation, .an amount believed to be
very considerable.
Mr. Wells estimates that by the
changes he proposes the internal reve-
nue from fermented liquors would be
increased from $32,000,000 to $64,000,-
000. Also that the customs revenues
from imported spirits, wines, and beer
would be increased from $9,000,000 to
$10,000,000, and from tobacco from
$13,000,000 to $16,000,000. The aggre-
gate receipts from internal revenue
taxes and customs duties on these three
commodities he thus estimates would
beincreased from $181,000,000 to $245,-
000,000. He concludes :
It is therefore obvious that from
taxes judiciously imposed on only three
commodities or branches of industry,
the Federal Government can at the
present time certainly, economically,
and With less burden and disturbance
to its people than by any other form of
levy, collect an annual revenue suffi-
cient. to defray all of its ordinary ex-
penditures, including interest on all its
debts, and have in addition an annual
surplus of near $50,000,000, leaving its
total revenue from other sources—i. 6.,
import duties, less those collected from
spirits, beer, and tobacco, and receipts
from permanent miscellaneous sources,
aggregating about $9,000,000—available
for the payment of pensions and for
other purposes.
Oneof the most important meetings
of business men ever held in this coun-
try is in session in this city. The boards
of trade, chambers of commerce, and
other organizations of the kind, repre-
sent the leadmg commercial, financial,
manufacturing,andtransportationinter-
ests of the N orth,East,South and West.
It has been settled that a central oflice
should atonce be established here,upon
which the 1,345 local boards through-
out the United States, can at any time,
by letter or telegram, call for informa-
tion about the status of commercial bills
pending before Congress, or for statis-
tical and other information.
_A flax manufacturer before the Com-
mittee on Ways and Means, asked that
the duty on flax should be retained.
The flax manufacturers here, he said,
were not afraid of the manufacturers of
France or Germany because the work-
ers of the United States were far more
skillful than the workers of those coun-
tries. But they were afraid of the work-
ers of England, who were equally skill-
ful and .avrepeal of the tariff would wipe
out the working men employed in the
flux industry.
’ As one measure of relief from the
“present deplorable condition of the
business of the country,” Representa-
tive Gorsvenor, of Ohio, introduced a
jomt resolution reciting that “it is not
the intention of the Fifty-third Con-
gressto make radical changes in the
principles of tariff taxation, and it is
herebysolemnly declared that Congress
Will not undertake a sweeping revision
of the tariff laws, nor will it remove
from American products, either of the
farm, the mine or the shop, that pro-
tection which now stands between the
American producer and the foreign
producer ; and especially is it hereby
declared that Congress will not remove
from products of agricultural industries
the full measure of protection now af-
forded bylaw, .to the and that wages
may be maintained at the present rates
and the producer be rewarded for his
labor and capital by adequate prices.”
The .resolution was referred to the
Committee on Ways and means.
