Tho average computeit for fifty-one dlstinct trades is only 603 conts per diem, or $3.63 per week. The compensation of women Is very much lower. The avernge for them in elaven, trades Is 313¢ cents per diem, or $1.873¢ por week, The highest paid Workmen a quarter of a century ago and now are decorative sculptors, They re- coived 06 cents In 1854, and are now pnid 923¢ conts,—an increase of 263g cents. ‘Ihe halr- dressers both then and now bring up the bot- tom of the list, ‘They recelyed 233 cents in 1853 and are now glad to get 443¢ cents per diem, Between these narrow {mits alt the other trades are found, Among women the Hleur-makers are the best and makers of toady-mado lMnen the worst paid. ‘The av. erage wages of workingwomen have risen fn A quarter of o century only from 2034 to BL cents per dlem, an increase of 10% cents, or 51 per cent, ‘Tue Hon, Galusha A, Grow ly In favor of changing the Constitution of the United States so thal the Prealdent may be relleved from the gnormous burden of appolnting- personally the whole army of clvil servants, Ar.

Work- ers” of Cincinnati demanded nn increase of wages 20 per cent greater than thoso, pald for shuilar work In Pittsburg, the great com- peting polnt of iron. production, + ‘The pro- prietors naturally refused to comply with this preposterous demand, whoreupon 1 strike took ‘place of syveral thousand men, and the strike is still on. ‘Tho tron mills have stuce then been all closed, and tho fool- ish workmen unemployed’ have received no means of support savo such occastonal con- tributions as have been sont thom by. “Union” workmon in other elfies, ‘The re- sultis, that, in a season of unprecedented “prosperity, these joitrneymon have spent three months in fdleness‘and have. forfeited $800,000 In wages, and driven from Cineln- natl the sale of over $1,000,000 worth of Iron and stect goods, The iron mills continue elused, and on the Oth Inst, the proprietors of nil tho mills west of Pittsburg, nt 6 mect- ing In Clucinnat!, undritmousty adopted a- resolution that “hereafter they will pay only Viltsburg prices for skilled Inbor in all de- partmentsof thelr rolling-mills and will only employ non-Unidh mon. * ‘The allegation wns directly mado that the demand for wages and tho strike were the result of n conspiracy fomented in Pittsburg, but whether this be true or not the suspen- slon of work in Ohio hag had the effect of driving the work to Pittsburg. Tho strike hns proved a shocktng fallure. It hus closed the Ohio mills, and {t has bone- fited no workmen in Ohio, Some of the fam- illes of these voluntary idlors have been re- duced to the necessity of begging. Tho men have lost the possible earnings of the busiest season that has occurred for many years, and now find themselves excluded from any em- ployment in Ohlo until they renounce the trides-unlon for which they have mate this enormous and absurd sacrifice, The de- mand was an unnatural and unreasonable one. Ohlo and Pittsburg are competitors, The price at which fron can be sold 1g that at which {t can be obtained elgewhere, ‘To de- mand 20 per cent muro wages In Clnelonatl than wore pald?Pittsburg prohibited the sate of Iron in Cincinnati except at a price 20 per cent greater than It could be purchased for in Pittsburg. ‘To this the Clucinnatl mills: could tot, of course, consent, and ‘the work- men were guilty of the folly of attempting to contpel them to destroy themselves. ‘Pho experience of the worl: has been that the wages of labor cannot bo raised com-_ pulsorily one moment longer than the em- ployer can afford to pay the demand at o profit, ‘Tha demand of the Cincinnati work- men to be puld 20 per cent more than was paid at Pittsburg, a coinpeting markot, was 80 unrensonadle and asiuine that the wonder is that any member ‘of the ‘trades-union could expect or bellaya lt would be paid, ‘The rise and fall of wages is controlled by alaw which admits of no Interference, and the unfortunate workmen at Cincinnati are now expertencing the effects of an attempt to violate that Inw. The furniture-makers and Upholsterers of Ciiengo attempted not Jong figo to exact wages greater than were.pald at siinilar and competing factories In Michigan and Ohlo, and the attempt proved an utter failure, after the toss of severnt weeks! wages, So it hns ever been, and so it will ever be, and tho inisfortune Is that so many honest and deserving men ond fatnilins are, from tiie to time, so cruelly victimized by the bosses, who peranada them that force can successfully compel aimployers to carry on Dusiness ata loss, * THE BOURBON CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA, The Bourbon campaign in Virginia, both in itscandidates and its platform, fs as arranta. specimen of political hypocrisy as could well belmagined. At tho head of the ticket is Jolin W.

In addition to his Bourbonisin ho ts tainted with Flitism, and during the Fiat craze favored the payment of the National bonds Jn irredeemable greenbacks, to be manu- factured for that purpose, When running for Lientenant-Governor in 1878 ho wrote a let- ter declaring that ha {ndvovatod. ‘ paying? the orfsinal ~ outstanding 520 bonds, ~8420,000,000,—In yreenbacks according to the contract, thus giving to the people that. much more currency.” But ho Hed when he sald that there was an orlginal contract with the purchasers of those bonds whereby the Government reserved the right to print off 480 rolillous of Srredeema- dja shinplasters for tho payment of those bonds, There never was any such contract, ayreoment, or understanding, or anything Ike It, and Dantel knows It. ‘The man at the tall of tho toket, Barbour, who was put on it to catch Roadjustore’ yotes, has been u candidate for office In every Conyentlon since the War, and commenced running for ofice when. 91 years of age.

They announce in ong breath that thay will pay the State debt and that they ara not In favor of an ineroasa of taxation,~—nit inconsistency nt tho outset, since the rev- entes of the State are not suffielent to to it, Then, having announced that they will pay the debt, they declare that thoy will make arrangenionts to procure a settlement of the public debt with the consent of the croditors “which is consistent with honor and dletated by justice and sound pubile polley? Tut if thoy are going to pny the public debt, why nuke any arrangements at all with the cred- {tors ?) What more satisfactory arrangement could bo made than tho paymentof the debt? What do tho creditors care about Virginian honor provided they get their monoy? ‘Che trouble Is, that the Bourbons, who have never yet pald anything on the debt and never in- tended to, would not pay It it they contd, and could not If they would, asa few figures will show. Tho amount of thadebt ts stated gencrally at $93,000,000, ‘ha most that ean be realized from tuxation Is $2,800,000, Tho current Habilities of ihe State in 1880 were $1,900,000, Ieaving $400,000 to pay the Snter- est upon a debt of $33,000,000, the fiterest upon which, even If sented at tho low rate of 3 per cent, as tho Bourbous propose in thelr platform, woult be a round million of dollars. Worse than this, when the Bour- bons went out of power in 1880, they wore over a million and a half of doilars defictent, and yet they coolly proposo to meet this In- terest without Increasing taxation! 1£ the people of Virginia vlect tho Bourbon ticket upon such a pintforin as this, it would seom to indicate n lack of intelligence of the most painful description, ————— QAPT. COOK'S CAMPAIGN, Capt. Cook, of Brownsyille, Licking Coun- ty, 0., bidafair to become ns famous as Capt. Cook of Pocahontas memory through tho stnple process of slapping the mouth of o scoundrel namo George Morrison. Men’s mouths are often struck, but the Interest -is usually confined to the slappor and slappee, but in this case 25,000 persons, men, women, and childron, millonatres, mechnantes, boot- blacks, sewlng-girls, lawyers, doctors, den- cons, ministers, and hostlers, have already risgn up and congratulated Capt, Cook tor his act, and each day thongands upon thous sands’more Buckeyes are rising up, and go rapidly that the CincInnat! Commercial, which fs the organ of their per cantum grat- itude, can hardly find room to print the nannes of the donors to the fund. ‘Tho ocen- ston of Capt. Cook’s back-handed npplicn- tion to tha foul mouth of Morrison was the public remark of the latter that he “hoped to God Garfleld would die’ It was an unfortunate day for Morrison, as Capt. Cook heard the romark, and the slap on the mouth followed it as quickly as. the thunder follows the finsh when It strikes near by. ‘Tho Captain was arrested and fined by a Bourbon Justice $93, Including costs, for assault, The Commerclul thero- upon suggested that tho people should pay hig fino and purelinse a testimonial for him by a cont, subscription, so. that the. largest possible number could indorso the slapping by contributing toward the func. ‘Tho idea took like wittlire, and the paper had hardly been delivered to Its subserivers befora cop-' pers came raining into tho offles like hall from a cloud. ‘Twenty-five thousand. men, women, and children In Ohlo have forward- ed their names and cofns, and there ate fin- dreds of precincts that sent In word they want to be heard from, while on enthusl- astlo deacon ja Toledo rises in meeting and proposes that Capt, Cook hit him ugaln, so that tho subscriptions can be doubled, Where this thing will end no one can tell, for many Democrats, and uven some ox-Con- federates, are buginulng to pour in their pon- nics, and tho movement Is spreading Into tho outside States aud threatens to take the form ofa National subscription, The trouble is that there are many rnililon people in this country who want the President to pet well, and would {Ike to testify to it Iu the innuner proposed by the Commerolal,: Thero aro probably very fow hands In the United States that did. not tingle to repent Capt.

If thare aro any others who share his sentiments, which for the sake of common decency It Is to be hopeil. “ig not the caso, It Is lkely that they will.be constrained to hold their pence, atleast until the tull returns are in from tho Cook cam- paigu. a OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE FRENOH POLICY, ‘Tho debate in the French Sonate on the S5th ult. was an Interesting one, as It elicited an explicit statement from the Government touching the operations of Sts army in'Tunls, and its relations to other Powers as affected by its Tunisian polley. During the debate, which wag upon the Forelgn Office eatl- mates, the Duo do Brogile eriticlaed thnt policy very severely, and asked whether tho convention nado with the Bey !n May Inst had altered French rotations with Turkey, He boldly charged Ahat the ‘unis expedition had incensed italy and England, coused dis- satisfaction in Spain, and had made Turkey o nelghbor by assuming the protectorate of Tunis,—a vicinage very undesirable, be cause of the Muxsulinan fanaticlsm which was controlled by the Sultan, In couciuston ho put to leading questions to the Goyorne ments first, wast proposiogto inyade ‘T'rlpo- 11? and, second, {n caso a serlous emergency should nriso, would it act again without Parllamentary consent? * . M, St. Hilaire, Minister of Forelgn Affairs, afsvored In behalf of the Government, and ag his roply is the first really official utter- ance. that has been made converning tho French policy In Northern Africa, the sub- stance of It js iinportant, At the outset, lie dented any interference with Parliamentary authority, as the Government had not made war upon Tunis, but In concert with tho Bey had put dowa an insurrection, after subju- katlny the Krotnnir, by the bombardment of Sfax. ‘The operations were juatiitud because for ten years French taturests had beon suf- fering trom inroads iiyon the Algerian front for, and 9 spirit of hostility had sprungup in the , Tunisian Government which, If-not overcoie, threatuncdl to @ndauger. the pos seasion of Algerla., The inroads were ofy Tectually ended by the puntstunent of the marauders, and the hostile fvallog In the Gove ernment was overcome by the Treaty of Ciuarantous,” which was nothing now, as It had beon solicited from the Hey repeatedly during tho past dive years, Mf, St. lillalro af- firmed that the Guvernmunt did not souk or desire thy couguest or thy unnoxation of ’ 3 THURSDAY, AUGUST i, ‘unis, and that the treaty was already bear- ing frult in securing the respect of the Bey for French counsel and authority, tn com- pensation for which France woul give to Tunis all the benofits of a higher form of alvillzation. Notwithstandiug the disclalmers and tho Pacific nssurances of M. St. Hilaire, at.this distance his explanation appears Uko 9 dls- tinction withont 9 difference, Diplomacy may understand tha diiference, but to 0 tay- man It willbe anntter of some difcully to see where St. Wiialre's protectorate differs from actual annexation, especially when tt Js remembered that the same specious plea was made in the ease of Algeria at one thine. As to Tripott, St. Hilnire’s statement is more noticeable for what it does not than for whnt it does contnin, Ie salit: “If f have reas- sured you ng to ‘Tunis, L can ee fortlorl re- assuro you In tho easo of ‘Tripoli. ‘That Quostion has beon started by tm prudent jour- natists. [havo assured tho British Govern- ment—and 1 hope you will not. be harder to convinces than [t—that the conquest of 'Trip- oll Is a dream which only the worst ene- mies of Francg coukt have imagined for her.’ ‘This statoment 1s In substance, how- evor, Ktentleal with that which was mado as to the Governinent’s polley with re- gard to Tunis when operntions were commenced, ‘There was to bo no con- quest, and yet to-day, fo all intents and purposes, Tunis {sn colonial dependency of Franco ns much as, and oven moreso that, Algerin, After Turkey has scht n few mora troops to Tripoli, and the Tripolitan tribes haye urged the 'Tuntsians Into further revolt, ond the Sultan has nroused the fanatical Mo- hammedans, shall we not also see a French protectorate In ‘Cripoll as well ag in Tunis? St. Hitatre’s reply to the question of the Die do Broglie ns to the relations of France and Turkey, that “there is nothing to fear on the part of tho Porte,” can have more meanings than one, and is, therefore, not en- tirely renssuring. The most remarkable feature of the Govertnent’s polley is, that it does not anticipate tine, and save life and expense by at once abandoning pretenses and annexing tha two provinces, for to this com- plexion it will come atinst. The indleations, if not the logien! outcome of-avonta In North- ern Africa, is the. absorption of Morocco by Spain, of Algiers, Tunls, and Tripoll by France, and of Egypt by England. And the quicker It {3 done tho better it will be for Africa, PROFESSIONAL IRIGH PATRIOTS; The professional irish patriot who Is.dont iciled in Americn at n safo distance from British jails is usunlly bold, deflant, and ofton obstrepcrous.
