There is no better organization of any me trade than the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel AVorkers. There is no trade more thoroughly organized and better disci plined than .that of the window glass workers, or one in w*hich higher wages are paid. The warning of the officers representing those trades against free trade are very significant and should be heeded.

I cannot re main inactive in such a conflict; therefore, to you and your associates on ’ the National Republican committee, as the representa tives of the Republican pf.rty, I offer my ser vices in any position or r ipacity where they may be de.slrable or tho/f .5 most useful tf ' aid ill securing the success of Harrison and Morton, the representatives in this campaign of the American idea of protection to -Amer ican labor.

THE LONDON POLICE. ‘ of London is about to lose some of its most efficient officers, owing to the inau- agenient of Scotland Yard, the police head quarters. Sir Charles Warren, chief com missioner, who will bo remora bered for luL peremptory v-ommands during the Trafalga>’ square riot, is charged by his fellow offlceis \■ith exercising his powers with too high ■> CONGRESSIONAL WORK. THE SENATE DISCUSSES THE RE TALIATION MESSAGE. Mr. BJair Desires an Examination o f the New System of Tolegrapliy—Keproaon- tativo 'i'racoy Uesigns from the Pacific Kail roads niul Otlier Committees—Other Uusiiioss Transacted. W ashington , Aug. 81.—Discussion president’s retaliation message by Sc George and Cullom was tlie feature Mr. Blair offered a res referred to the committee ponses, insi state comi system of telegraphy n the Oapilol. maters ition, which was a contingent ex- imittpe on inter ne D. H. Craig’s on exhibition at with exercising his powers with too high ■> hand and making It impossible for them t.'. serve under him. They complain that he is an autocrat, and declare that ho is rapidly destroying the efficiency of the service. As sistant Commissioner Monroe has already r .- signed, and others will shortly do so. Mr. Monroe is ono of the ablest men at tached to Scotland yard, and it was throu; h his untiring efforts that the various plots of the dyimmiter.s during the jubilee oolebraiion and at other times wore foiled. Thera is inch feeling about the retiring of th oe ofd- and it is not improbable that the hon .> that ti 0 Republican party, in adopting and advocating Iho American systeni of eiicour aiAcmciit) luvi protoclion to the labor and wages of onr laiicl. is nearer the declarations and de.sircs of organized labor than its free- trade opponent, the Democratic party. The conflict is hetwevn the American sys tem, a-i repre.v lik'd by the Republican party, uhi h would foster and encourage the labor of our own people and retain for them the iiuu ket aii l wages of our own country, and S c r a ? e m £ S ‘whTch7o“ ^ r s “and“ t f s Z t \ i m p r S ' 'Jong\ delayed letteV of - :x . £ r : , r i E s s s ivie.s Kill foreign labor, thus making ' ,p.

I teai tint le wouM not bo elected. laid the object of the resolution wu.s to have this system of telegraphy ex amined and if found to be as represented, a superior sy.stem, to secure it for the beneflt of the people. Thu senate then resumed consideration of taken by Mr. Edmunds that the president had no constitutional right to suspend the op eration of the section of the revised statutes which allowed the transit of goods between the United States and Canada without the pay ment of duty. The president, he held, could not abrogate a solemn enactment of con gress, absolute in its terras and without any contingency whatnvei'. Mr. Cullom s-vid that the retaliation mes sage might be taken as evidence that the president had become satisfied that his Jfcreaty was a mistake and to retrieve what lie had lost by that mistake the president bad sea with greater the treasury had all the jwwer necessary to piacticaily prohibit the shipment of goods from Canada to the United States foi' ex portation. He could under existing laws es- tabli-h such rules and regulations os would Just Arrived NEW YORK CITY! ulos and regulations os wo lake It inconvenient and unprofitable to so. Discriminations against American ves sels in Canadian canals, he said, might have been remove ! by a remonstrance addressed to the British government, and it would be time enough when remonstrance proved un availing, to apply to congress for additional legislation. When ho applied the president’s n.cssago to the existing question nnds.aw how little excuse there was for it, the more it he- emno apparent that it was inspired for politi cal ncee-.:ity. The message might be implied as Mr Cl ‘velaiid’s long delayed letter of idle otir own to.ki-s and nducing to a low edi.o,. of B-rlin Vall-sb!n*-t is roiH'. • ’ WhPu Mr. Cullom closed the message w ,.v„ .1,. *'» \>»>«• ictive a t his heels, intent upon -’k----------ti.u. , huL, .v.,h tocx>.*nato takes this em :‘cu silg. committee aniei / j - B, the ini'ipr litv of wages will disapiiear, not liv leveliiiif'. our wages dovm hut by levelling ti|.eir WU 3 -.4 lip. It is far better to level up tl^un to level down, as the larger the income the larger th power to consume. Until this cipiiili.'.nlion ean be accomplished, mid until thb %vages ot labor abroad shall equal those at Jionie. there nim-t bo a proper restriction of i imnigration so that our land may not be thc'.dmnfiiig ground of the pauper and de- grail'd lal or of the balance of the world. Tbid restricllou, supplemented by a continu- aiioii of the rough systematic organization of tho labor already here, in conjunction with the American idea of protection to Amaican labor cannot fall to secure for our pff.pil.- the best re lilts of their toil and by our examp'.o lift the tabor of the whole world to a higher and better plane of existence. w'hfehovcr party wins, something must be done t'> ivgulate more strictly this importa tion of for. igii labor under contract and the imiuigi atiun of paupers and dependents. If nothiii;^ should be done then Democratic siit - a ss would mean not only free trade in goods made by pauper labor, but the importation of Leth tho labor and goods. While under frc'.' trad'goods may be cheaper to the con sumer iuiecrtnin lines, the labor made idle in the e liiitU must turn to other means of ein- plo.V meiiti .ni^ thus by competition compel a lower ra p of wages to those already em ployed th.^rein. iS, or theft, ceasaa I prefer that ........ ....... nild be a land of workers rather than a land W thieves and paupers. What is true of tho iiVdividual is equally true of the nation. Thd primary elements of national wealth and iffitioiial prosperity are produc tion, distribution and consumption, over effoeto tfiR power of labor to consume effects the ehtire interests of the nation. Whatever loWci-s the wages of labor affects its power to cpnsume. An “average reduc tion” of 7 percpituin on the cost of goods im ported wi.l nof compensate American labor for the loss of .lOO percentum in wages in the lines affected, aVid of from 10 to 50 parcentum in the w ages in >;ho line of employment by the titutioii of the free trade for the protet system. I hold it to be far wiser states 111 to coinii aiul a market in foreigiviands ured by the ^wliolesale degredation and uperization of our own people. Every dollar's worth of labor value im ported is by so much a reduction of home laborer’s wages. The axiom is not offset by the declaration that thei-e are more goods in the imported dollar’s worth. The position of the protectionist is rather strengthened by such a specious presentation ot the matter .ccauae the question is then forced upon vorv intelligent man. How can American ibor earn dollars if the industry in which be experienced is transferred to foreign' 'I lie theory of prote.’tion advocated by the mib'iean party is the same as the undei-- ‘ g principle upon which all labor orgaui •jiwaie founded.
