Noawmm "Truth above all things.” FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 15, 1893. [Entered in the Post-Office as a Newspaper.] Labor’s Opportunity. As the result of a meeting of workers in the textile manufactories of Phila- delphia, a delegation representing fifty thousand operators, upon whom a quaro 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, with ten 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 farifi‘ of textile manufactures at the present rate. He read the petition and supplemented it with a vivid description of the condi- tion of affairs 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 tarifl’. Mr. Turner of the Committee asked Mr. Stewart whether workingmen would not be benefitted by the admission of free wool. Mr. Stewart answered promptly that they would not, inas- much as that would 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 workingmen were wil- ling to stand that. Bynum asked, how, if the manufac- tured goods in hid industry were cheap- er than before the McKinley bill be- came a. law, higher wages could be paid. He got answer that a greater market had been created by the compe- 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 i..leved in the tariff question than the statesmen who at- tempted to make lightof the petition presented. The movement begun by the Philadelphia workmen should be taken up by the wage-earners 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 capitaland labor; to repeal the measure that has brought prosperity to both capitalists and workmen, and to try theories that have never been productive of prosperity to the masses in this country. In these conditions, if organized la- bor haii'mny 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 given their votes against this policy they have done so under some transient impulse of partisanship or preludicc. We are sure, also, that the working people of the Country have no desire that the pro- tective policy shall be reversed. Congress should be flooded with peti- tions and overwhelmed with delegations of workingmen, emphasizing the pre- sent des ireof the people that the tariff shall be let alone. If organized labor can effect this result, it will earn the gratitude of the whole'people, and will prove that it is really the advocate of labor’s true interests. This would do more to restore prosperity than all else that could be done. fi-‘ A Fatal Boiler Explosion.

Conway RELIGION fEMIINENT PEOPLE PRESENT. “ “Needs of Humanity Supplied by the Cath- olic Religion” Read by Bishop Keane Owing. to the Indisposition 0! Cardinal Gibbons. CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—An audience that filled Columbus hall to overflowing wel— comed the opening of the fourth day’s pro- ceedings of the world’s parliament of re- ligion. It was a striking collection of men of eminence that faced the audience from the platform. Rev. Edward Everett Hale sat with Prince Serge VVolkensky of Rus- - sia, Julia Ward Howe with H. Toki of In- dia, Rev. Joseph Cook with Professor Jean Reville of Paris, Rev. Dr. Lyman" Abbott with Right Rev. Reuchi Shibata of Cal- outta. Interest centered largely upon the paper prepared by his eminence, Cardinal Gib- bons, upon the “Needs of Humanity Sup- plied by the Catholic Religion.” It’ had been expected that the cardinal would pre- sent the paper in person, but owing to his ill "health it was read by Bishop Keane of the Catholic university at lVashington. As became its author, it was a scholarly production, couched in that mild noncom- bative style characteristic of the writer, and while it was attentively listened to its salient points were repeatedly interrupted with applause. ' Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott took for his sub- ject, “Religion Essentially Characteristic of Humanity,” while the paper of J ulia Ward Howe dealt with religion as the es- sential expression of relations between God and man. Something concerning the ori- gin of Shintoism was told the audience by Rev. Takayoshi Matsuhami of Japan. The congresses in the other halls were attended by members of the various denominations under whose auspices they were held. They were the United Brethren, the Advent Christians. Congregationalists, Universal- ists, Disciples of Christ and the Church of the New Jerusalem. The presentation of the tenets of the Reformed Episcopal church took place this afternoon in the Hall of ‘Vashington, a large audience being present. Cardinal Gibbons Paper. Cardinal Gibbons’ paper, read by Bishop Keane, contained the following, among other statements: “Before the advent of Christ the whole world, with the exception of the secluded Roman province of Palestine, was buried in idolatory. Every striking object in na- ture had its tutelary divinities. Men wor- shiped the sun and moon and stars of heaven. They worshiped their very pas- sions. They worshiped everything except God, to whom alone divine homage is due. In the words of the apostle of the Gen- tiles: ‘They changed thd glory of the in— corruptible God into the likeness of the corruptible man and of birds and beasts and creeping things. They worshiped and served the creature rather than the Crea: tor, who is blessed forever.’ ' ~ “But at last the great light for which th prophets of Israel had sighed and prayed, . .~ and toward which even the pagan sages had stretched forth their hands with eager longing, arose and shone unto them ‘that sat in darkness and the shadow of death.’ The truth concerning our Creator, which had hitherto been hidden in J udsea, that there it might be sheltered from the world- wide idolatry, was now proclaimed and in far greater clearness and fullness unto the whole world. Jesus Christ taught all man- kind to know the one true God, a God ex— isting from eternity to eternity, a God who created all things by his power, who gov- erns all things by his wisdom and whose superintending providence watches over the affairs of nations aswell asof men, _ ‘Without whom not even a bird falls to the ground.’ He proclaimed a God infinitely holy, just and merciful. “This idea of the Deity, consonant to our rational conceptions, was in striking con- trast with the low and sensual notions which the pagan world had formed of its divinities. The religion of Christ imparts to us not only a. sublime concept-ion of God, but also a rational idea of man and his re- lations to his Creator. Before the coming of Christ, man was a riddle and a mystery to himself. He knew not whence he came nor whither he was going. He was grop- ing in the dark. All he knew for certain was that he was passing through a brief phase of existence. The past and the fu- ture were enveloped in a mist which the light of philosophy was unable to pene- trate. Our Redeemer has dispelled the cloud and enlightened us regarding our origin and destiny and the means of attain- ing it. He has rescued man from the fright- ful labyrinth of error in which paganism had involved him. “The gospel of Christ as pronounéed by the Catholic church has brought not only light to the intellect, but comfort also to the heart. It has given us ‘that peace 'of God which surpasseth all understanding,’ the peace which springs from the conscious possession of truth. It has taught us how to enjoy that triple peace which constitutes true happiness as far as it is attainable in this life—peace with God by the observance of his commandments; peace with our neighbor by the exercise of charity and justice toward him, and peace with our- selves by repressing our inordinate ap- petites, and keeping our passions subject to the law of reason, and our reason il- lumined and controlled by the law of God. “Christ alone of all religious founders had the courage to say to his disciples: ‘Go teach all nations.’ ‘Preach the gospel to every creature.’ ‘You shall be Witness to me in J udaea and Samaria and even to the uttermost bounds of the earth.’ Be not restrained in your mission by national or state lines. ' Let my gospel be as free and universal as the air of heaven. ‘The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.’ All mankind are the children of my Father and my brethren. I have died for all and embrace all in my charity. Let the whole. human race be your audience and the world be the theater of your labors.” Hailstones Stun Cattle. ' ST.
