12 THE LABOR PROBLEM. Horace White and Charles Franois Adams, Jr., Before the Hewitt 5 Commattea, The Former Believes Business Is Injured by & Pro- tective Tarifl; That Workingmen Wounld Be Better Off Under a Free-Trade Bystem, Adams Confines His Remarks Chiefly to the Railroad Business. Mr. Todersl Supervision Over Railroads Hardly Practicable. New Yonrx, Aug, 23.—The Labor and Com- mercial Depression Investigating Committee ve- sumed Its session this morning. Horace Whits was calied by the Commltice, and atated that he had studied the fnancial question, and had paid a reat deal of attention 10 it when he was a journalist; and sinco he re- tired from Journalism. He thought the pres- ent commercial crisis is only one of a serics that have occurred among nattons for the past 200 years, and they bave been preceded by rampant speculations. 1n 1873 he thought speculations in raliroads had a great deal to do {n causing the depression which existed. There was enormous speculstion in lands all over the coontry. ‘The prices of real estatc mul- plled besond anything (o the recul- Jection of the witness. - The obligs- tlons f{ncurred by the buflding of these raflroads and the purchase of real estate causcd many partfes to become insolvent, The condi- tlon of the currency had not Incressed this stato of things, the witness thought. Ife found that “these periods of crisis came upon nations, no matter whether the currcacy was gold or paper. The speculative era which existed from 1569 to 1873, the witness thought, had something to do with the present condition of affairs. The ac- cumulation of capital sctiog on the sanguine tempernments of a certaln race of pcoplo would produce a speculative era. Over-productivn by machinery had contributed to decrease busi- ness, by producing more than there wasa de- 10and for, and prices fell accordingly. He did not think that the fntroduction of machinery had prodaced this speculative era and the vol- lapse which followed it ‘Ihe witness did not think that a protective tarst would ralse the woges of the working peovle. 1t might raise the price of some of the commodities to be bought. Protective tarifls would stimulate some branghes of business and lead capltal to some extent into it. The wit- ness sald he did not think the wages of the la- borlng classes had been decreased by competi- tlon between countrica in producing and ex- porting. The wazes of the laboring classes had been greatly Increased during the past 200 years. In rezard to tarlff dutles, ho would recommend thot they should be taken off of aome raw materials, & About the mlidle-men question the witness said that a great inary of these had been driven out of Lusiness, and went futo bankruotey bes cause they were uunecessars. ‘oo mony of then were tn business, If thera was any sur- plus of capital during the speculative era, ithud nuw retreated to the bank vaults, belng driven by the Jow rate of interest. ‘Theamounty rd out by the bauls were, in great bulk, the troperty of the community, “Thie witness sald that businoss was injured to xtent by a protective tarif.

He did not think that the proceeds of the enlvs of the publie lands could be uscd by the tovermuent far colonization purposes. It wottd he o hazardous thiug for our Gov- ernment, with {ts present Civil-Servica system, to take hold uf_such o thive. He did not think the surplus population In citfes would be con- teut to live on landa in the West, and did not suppose that they could be drawn there with o yuke of oxen; snd, i€ taken there, they would ot stay on the landa, ‘The witnes sald that he thought the working clagses would be better off under freu trade than uuder a tarlll system. CHARLES PRANCIS ADAMS, This concluded Mr, White's testimony, and . Charles F. Adams, Jr,, of Quincy, Mass,, was valled, Mr. Adams spoke of rallroad ennstruction, -und Rald excessive construction led to the pres- ent depression o business. The ratlroad man- ugzer bad nothing 1o do with the construction of Tajlroads, and #0 had notbing to do with caus- ‘iug the depression. o thought the railroad mouagers had, to & great extent, relloved or ‘tried to relfeve thia depresston, He did not see iow leglalation could help or remedy the pres- tent depression. The raliroad eysteém was en- #aged fu a rujpous competition, sud this led to < two points—ous was violeut fuctuations and discrimivation against Jocalitles. He thought this could only be rewmedied by equalizing rates * ang fares, ‘The dificulty in legislation in railroad matters has been 80 far that thev have nxpplled tho retedy before knowing the diseare.

The first Monday in August is purcly sccular in Its origin,—the other three being, ot course, chosen owling to thelr religious nssociations, It Is only a few years ago—about five, [ think—that 8ir John Lubbock, M.

Having scen how desirable It was to Rive his own clerks a summer-holiday, he finally was ablo to make Parllament and the country take the same view; and the result Is, that no business is done in England, except works of necessity, on the first Monday In August, Every one must go somewhere on Bank-Hol- day. Saturday isonly half a day: so that thou- sands of clerks and shopkeepers go off to Brighton, Margate, and to various places on the south coast, to remaln over Monday.

Asweknew that a tall from the Unitel States had srrived in the morning, we naturally wanted out letters, Now, ordinarily we should have had to wait for them untll the'next day. for on DankHolidays the Post-Oflice people rest from thelr labors ps well as_others; but, rurtunntelf. our letters were nddressed fn thie care of ihe Amerlean Exchange, No, 440 Strand; and, as It Is Gillig's boast that he dellvers tmatl every dayin the year, wo drove thither to see whnetner itwas so. Sure enoutgh, our letters by the steamer of tue 25th of July from New York were awalting us, and we thus got a day's start of our [ricnds who had had thelr letters sent to other addresses, And we returned home saying: *Great Ia Gillig, and Bowles is his prophet.” ‘[here was onc thing which scemed atranze about. this holiday: although the public-houses were open all day, there was FAR LESS DRUNKRNNESS visible on the strects, and far fewer casea belore the Pollce-Justices next day, than there are usually after Hunday, whew the publics are clused during a good” portion of the day, The number of persons chargzed with belng drunk, disorderly, aud_simliarly amenable to punish- ment, on Tllcs{ln{ morning, was far below the average of the Monday-morning record In all the Police-Courts.

This is one theory to ac- count for the exceasive drunkenness on Sunday as comparcd with that ou the Bank-Hollday.
