D., — LasS than forty years ago the numo of John P. Hule was on the lips of every Amevican for his fiery denunciation of his party in its annexation of Texas and _subsorviency to the growing slave party by the repeal of the Missourl compro- mise. He was one of the greatest anti- slavery agitators in the history of Ameriea, but his mewory has almost pussod away, Last week a stutue of this man was presented to the state of New Hampshire by Senator Chandlor, his son-in-law, and the eelobration of that ovent will serve to awaken in the minds of men a knowledge of one of the really eourageous mon of American history. | with the PRUPARING FOR LABOR DAY. The Omaha Central Labor union has issued n cireular to the labor organiza- tions of the state {nviting them to join Centeal Labor union, com- posed of trades unions and Knights of | Labor assemblies, in a grand colebra- tion of Labor day, to take place in this city on Monday, September 5. It is ex- pected that this will bs the greatest demonstration of the kind ever wit- nessed west of the Missouri river. A feature of the exercises will be a pro- cession composed of the various trade and labor organizations. Labor day has come to be one of the red lettor days on the ecalendar. Itis the one day in all the year when work- ingmen of all degrees meet upon & common footing to do honor to their respective callings and to proclaim their devotion to honest toil. Labor is everywhere acknowledgod to be the bedrock upon which society rests. All wealth is the product of labor; toil is the only. known creative agency, and without it there can be neither social nor material progress. It is woll that lnbor unions here and elsawhers should make amp'e proparus tions for the celebration'of the day es- pecially set apart for the enjoyment and profit of the wage-onrning masses. It is well that they should magnify the dignity of labor and make public dem- onstration of their numerical strength, and in doing this they will do honor to themselves and to the whole country. Thay will not fall into the error of set- ting the members of labor organizations apurt from the rest of mankind as the only representitives of the great wage- earning class, nor will they assume that the only real toilers are those who work with hand and brain at the various trades or those who labor in the factory or the mine. In one respect Laborday will be an oc- casion of more than ordinary interest this year. Owing to labor difficulties unusual in their extent and very serious in their consequences thove has arisen of late in the minds of some people a mis- takaen notion that organized labor has placed itself in an attitude of antagon- ism toward vested interests; that it re- fuses to recognize the rights of em- ployers, and that it mennces the veace and secu This is not position of the great mass of those who affilinte with the labor organizations, but it is an injustice to them. It is safe to predict that the Labor day demonstra- tions this year will be as orderly and peaceablo as they huve been hitherto, and that recreation and social inter- course will be the features of the gr holiday. Itis to be hoped that the call of the Omaha Central Labor union will meet with a generous resvonse and that eiti- zens of all classes will endeavor to make the celebration in this city a memorable one. OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBORS. The attention of the New York Chamber of Cemmerce has been called to the movement now on foot in North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Mani- toba looking to the establishment of closer trade relations botween this ceuntry and Canada. As THE BEE hus alrendy stated, a convention is to be neld at Grand Forks on September 1 and 2 next, at which the representation will be on the basis of 1,000 delegates from Manitoba, Assiniboia and Alberta in Canada, and Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and the region of the great lukes. Among the prominent advocates of the extension of trade relations who are expected to be present are Joseph Nimmo, jr., Erastus Wiman and ex- Congressman W. D. Hill from the United States, and Consul Taylor of Winnipeg and Premier Greenway and others from Manitoba. It is proposed to discuss trade relations between the Canadian northwest and the United States and also lake navigation and a deep water outlet from the great lakes to tidewater by the natural channel of the St. Lawrence. An effort is being made by our north- orn neighbors to create a general in- terest throughout the country in this movement. For the localities in which it originated it is particularly import- ant, and even in Nebraska the conven- tion will be lookéd forward to with some interest, as we have a trade of growing importance in the Canadian northwest which might be promoted by a suce ful issue of the efforts which are being made in behalf of closer trade relations between the two countries. PACTS AGAL THEOR:ES. The New York Journal of Finance, which may be presumed to know some- thing about the condition of the coun- tey, has the following editorial comment upon the outlook for the year: **Our agricultural classes are prosperons. Corn will not be burned next winter be- cause it lacks o market. We hear less of what we have become familiar with us grangerism—the bitterness of un- happy farmers, seeking vengeance on vested interests, Our me: nics are employed. Wages are good. Manu- fucturers are bu Such labor troubles asappear do not in any way reflect pau- perism among our psople. Indeed all strikers now in sight aro relying upon their prosperity to enable them to gain what they are contending for. Probably our crops this year will bo greater than they were last. Europe will need as much of our grain as she did then. In our trade with the world the bulance is heavily in our favor.” The journal quoted undoubtedly understands the business situation, for it is devoted to that and nothing else; but perhaps it is ut fault in its assump- tion that there is loss now than formerly of what it calls “'the bitterness of un- happy farmers seeking vengeance on vested interests,” It seems to e it for granted that the prosperous condi- tion of the country to which it refors must have dissipated the discontent that gave rise 1o the farmors’ alliance, now called the people’s party; but that is ot true. When once such a movement is startod und a considerable number of people are lod to believe that the timo is ripo for great ana radical experi- ments in methods of finance it is not to be expected that facts will at once pre- vall against such seductive theories as thoy are chorishing. They will noed & THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: littlo time to think the matter over. It is to bo hoped that the more rational and cool headed of them will become sufficiently calm to give a little attention to Iacts bafore next November. They will be subjected to all the influences which professional demagogues can bring to bear upon them, but it will no doubt be found that many of them will come to their senses at length and sas the folly of the course which they are pursuing. THE OCBEAN RECORD BREAKERS. Most people take pride in the wonder- ful progress that is being made by the greyhounds of the sea in reduciag the timo required for passage ncross the Atlantie, but no nervous person who has oceasion to take the trip can fail to ba slightly approhensive when he knows that he is on board of a racer that is bent on breaking records. A few days ago the Inman liner City of Paris arrived at Sandy Hook after a voyage of five days, fifteen hours and fifty-eight minutes, venting the record of the Teutonic, of the White Star line, by thirty-three minutes. The Teutonic had for some time enjoyed the distinction of being the fastest of the transatlantic flyers, and when her record was beaten her skipper resolved toput her through foraquicker passage than that of the City of Paris. The effort was made on the Teutonic’s last voyage from the other side. She not only failed to beat the time of the City of Paris but she disabled one of her engines and reached New York con sider- ably behind her own regular tima. Be- fore she was orippled, however, she made one day’s run of 528 knots, which is eight knots better than the bast pre- vious day’s run ever made. This ocean racing and record break- ing is exciting and caleulated to stir up the enthusiasm of the partisans of the competing ships, but it cannot bo denied that it is attendéd with some danger to passengers. A vessel that is being sent for a record will lose as little time as possible on account of fogs or other dangers of the sea, and in spite of the best seamanship she must be exposed to perils which under ordinary conditions could easily be averted. THE TENDENCY OF TRADE. The weekly trade reviews inter- esting reading to all who desire inform- ation concerning the condition of busi- ness throughout the country. This week R. G. Dun & Co’s report is fully as en- couraging as it was last, and shows that trade is everywhere active aud the out- look for the fall business very bright. The report for Omaha is flattering, as it has been for several weeks past, and the cities of the west and south generally appear to be doing well. This is due to various causes, most important of which is the oxcellent crop prospect. The volume of trade is reported to be 15 per cent greater during July than during the same month last year, and greater than in any previous year in the history of the country. One of the most interesting features of the report is the information given covering the wool and cotton market. In the former the transactions ave large and the prices firm, as manufacturnrs aro buying freely. The cotton mills are sold out of stock for several woeks ahend and the southern cotton markots are active in consequence of the de- mands of the manufacturers. In the boot and shoe business trade is active, us it has been for many weeks past. The significance of this steady and large demand for woolen and cotton goods, boots aad shoes and otherarticles which the people consume in greater or less quantities according to their ability to buy, will be readily understood. An in- creased consumption in these lines means that the people at large are prosperous and that they have faith in the future. The signs of the times are full of promise, and the American people never had better reason for con- tentment than they have today. THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. The first session of the Fifty-second congress will be more memorable for what it did not do than for what it accomplished. No house of represen- tatives ever met under conditions more favorable for making a good legislative record than did the house of the present congress, yet what a contrast it presents to the splendid record of the preceding tongress. In the houseof the Fifty-first congress the republicans had a comper- atively meager majority, and owing to the revolutionary methods resorted to by the democrats to obstruct legislation the majority met with obstacles in the way of the transaction of business such a8 no other house had ever encountered in the history of the country. The present house met with a democratic majority, including the alliance votes, of 158, the democrats thus having the power to do practically as they pleased. But with a two-thirds majority the record of the house finds a parallel only in the Fiftieth congress, which went down to history as that of the great *‘do- nothing house,” When the present house met it pro- posed to distinguish itself in the matter of economical appropriations, but its economies were chiefly in the direction of putting a check upon public worl, most of which will probably have to be provided tor at the next session or by the next congress, and with all the efforts in this direction the appro- priations exceed in amount those of the first session of the preceding congress by $44,000,000. Beyond the aypropri- ation bills not a single measure of great importance will go on the statute book us the result of the work of this house. As was pointedly said by ex-Speaker Reed: ‘‘Not one measure above the dignity of rye straw will mark the annals of the house of representatives of the Fifty-second congress. In his- tory it will present .the dead- level of a Dutch landscape with all its windmills, but without a trace of its beauty or fertility. The only pictur- esque object which will break the sky line will be Mr. Holman, draped as u statue of economy, standing upon the railroad-crowned summit of the Law- renceourg embankment, for which he secured an appropriation, trying in vain with & spygluss to find any trace of a river the embankment was intended to confine,” After passing a river and barbor bill which carried u larger ap- prepriation than aoy other similar ‘chairman of the SUNDAY m easure in the histovy of the govern- ment, the democratic house of repre- sentatives refused n respectable appro- priation for inerensing the nayy, & minority under the leadership of the mittee on appro- priations maintained a deadlock for days on a propoditjn to give:the W orld’s fair more inonoy, involving & stoppage for a e of important gov- ornment business, nd failed to pass a single measure fgr the construction of public buildings, alhough a number of such bills passed by the senate were un- questionably meritorious. The record of thy first session of tho oresent democratic house of rep- resentatives has . amply demon- strated, though not for the first time, the utter incapacity of that party for giving the country wise legis- lution. It has shown conclusively, how- over, that the democratic party is in favor of destroying ithe protective sys- tem of the country and of débasing the currency. All the ‘effortsof ita repre- ‘sentatives have bedn in the direction of freo trade and the defeat of measures for the free and unlimited coinage of silver was due to the votes of the repub- lican minority. The democracy can find nothing in the record of the presont house of representatives to commend the party to the confidence of the country. A POET'S CENIENARY. Thuraday, August 4, was the cente- nary of Shelloy, and whereyer the Eng- lish tongue is spoken and English litera- ture is loved, the day was observed in public or in private, Numberless Shel- ley sociaties on both sides of the Atlan- tic eulogized and lauded the genius which their ancestors and his contempo-’ raries execrated. Tho greatest poet of his time and one of the few truly immor- talsot all time, it was not until the short span of his life was crossed that he received more than the partial recognition of the worid, save from a fow personal acquaintarces. Born at o time when the spirit of the French revo- lution quickened tto life the genius of independence and free thought, his in- nate hatred ot tyranny in all its forms. voiced itself in o manner especially de- tested by the reprosentatives of the rot- ten aristocracy of the time, and his out- spoken utterance of the truth brought upon him a storm of denunciation whose echoes may still bo heard from tho bigots of our day. But today no one questions his sincerity, no one doubts his philanthropy, none dare balittle his genius. That he did not always act in accordance with the established code is true, but in all he was true to his honast and deep seated convictions. His pootry is tht of a real singer, not the sensuous sweehoss of Keats, not the mire strains thjt distigure Byron’s brightest verses,' but! flofty in purpose, brilliant in imagary,grand in diction. He was no dilletante weaver of rhymes, but a poet in the highest, purest sense. The general tendency to honor his cen- tenary while that of Byron was barely recognized showsj the development of literary taste sinde their day and is of the highest creditito the intelligont dis- crimination of thls age. His faults in teaching and life were faults of his time and the best of his thoughts and pootry is that by which he will and should be judged, AW IMAN'S VIEWS, One of the most prominent men en- gaged inmanufacturing in Great Britain is J. H. Rogers, chairman of the Welsh Tin Plate Makers association, who has recently been in this country to look into the growth and development of the tin plate industry here. Since his re- turn to Wales Mr. Rogers has been in- terviewed upon ‘the subject of his in- vestigations by the Swansea Intclligencer, the official ovgan of the association with which he is connected. In reply to the question, “‘Supposing Mr. Cleveland were elected, what would be the effect of his policy?” Mr. Rogers replied: *T think the result would be that the tariff would be lowered and that wages would consequently fall. The working classes would, of course, not be willing to remain without work,and the manufacturers would have to reduce wages to enable them to competo suc- cessfully with other countries. Wages in America are at present double what they are here, but if America adopted free trade they would probably be re- duced by one-half, and thus become equal to the wages pald here.” Ho further stated that from his own ob- servations in the United States he could say that the working classes carn higher wages and the cost of living 18 s0 little more than it is in Wales that the Americans have much greater com- fort and are able to save more rapidly. Rents are higher in America, but the necessaries of life to workingmen and families ave cheapor. The visit of Mr. Rogers to this coun- try was occasioned by the apprehension of the Welsh tin plate manufacturers that the growth of the industry in the United States would prove serious to them. The condition which he found here explained to his mind why so many workmen from foreign countries have sought employment here, and why the condition of the American working classes is 50 much better than that of the same class in Europe. The predic- tion as to the efféct that democratic suc- cess in the coming elpetion would have upon the Amerjgan, manufacturer nd wageworker is apparently an entirely independent and disinterested one. It is worthy of thé attention of all who are 1n search of the{zith concerning the in- fluence of the proteetive tariff. WHAT )i,i;.;b SHOULD DO, Aftor days of filibustering, which has brought reproA¢h “upon the country, congress finally. ngreed to appropriate 2,600,000 v aid in defraying the cost of completing the work of preparation for the World’s Columbian exposition. This is half the amount, which the directors of the great enterprise asked for, but the stubborn democratic opposition to any appropriation compelled a compro- mise, which was finally accepted by the rlends of the fair in congress. This donation, thrown ungraciously to Chi- cago, us was said by Senator Sherman, like a bone toa dog, is burdened with a condition which would result in a loss to the fair of several times the amount. It is provided that if the appropriation be accepted the exposition shall be AUGUST 7, 1892—-SIXTEEN PAGES. closed o Sunday. According to con- servative estimates this woula entail a loss of from $6,000,000 to £7,000,000 of revenue and it would exclude hundreds of thousands of people from the fair on the one day of the week when they could attend without loss of time and income. Every the exposition and of the masses of the people who will be most largely benefited by the educational influence of the ex- position dictates thar the Columbian commission should reject this appro- vriation and appeal to the generosity and patriotism of the people of Chicago to provide the additional amount neces- sary to complote the work of prepara- tion. There can be no doubt that such an appeal would meot with prompt and hearty response. If $5,000,000 is still ro- quired Chicago must provide half of it if the appropriation of congress he ac- copted, and she can enasily raise the whole amount. et the people of that great city say to the democrats of the house of represontatives, who from soo- tional prejudice or in the spirit of a nar- row and unpatriotic economy refused to give the needed aid to the World’s expo- sition, that Chicago can carry it to suc- cess without their help, and will manage it without their dictation. Having raised $10,000,000 for this purpose her resources are not yet exhausted and she can raise half as much more without exbausting them. Such action would redound more to the honor of the city than what has already been done, and it would have the approval of liberal minded people everywhere. The proposal to close the exposition on Sunday ought not to receive serious consideration. It is proposterous from every rational and practical point of view. The only classes to be benefited by doing 80 would be the saloonkeep- ors, the fukirs and the proprietors of the many schemes for fleccing the peoplo which will abound in Chicago during the fair. The Columbian exposition will be cssentially a great educational enterprise, illustrating the scientific, artistic and materinl progress of the world, and particularly of the United States. The class who will be most benefited by its instructive character are the plain people—the working men and working women of the land—thou- sands of whom are even now preparing by small accumulations to visit the fair. Many such within a radius of o hundred or two miles of Chicago will go often to the exposition if they can pass a Sunday there who could visit it but once, and some perhaps not at all, if compelled to take a week day for doing so. Wholly apart from, and far more important than, the financial loss that would result from Sunday closing is the consideration that it would deprive a very large number of people of the opportunity to acquire instruction which would be very much to their advantage, and thus the fair would come short of fulfilling one of its most important functions. Tho exposition authorities cannot afford to accept the gift of congress with the condition it imposes, and its rejec- tion would undoubtedly give the enter- prise a stronger hold upon popular in- terest both at home and abroad.
