American wage workers earn
more money than any others of the
same class on the globe. They live
more luxuriantly, save more of their
income, are better conditioned every
way, more respected, intelligent,
more influential, and have less real
cause for complaint than any other
workmgmen in the world.
Garret Roach, the ship builder,
hits the nail on the -head when he
remarks that the lowering of pro
tective duty means either lower
wages or the abandonment of the
injured industry. Both of these
horns of the delimma sore the
workingman. In one event he gets
less, and in another he gets nothing
until he takes his labor into the
market and increases the supply.
Then again he will get less.

In these degenerate days of one

An English builder of theaters
nas invented a panic-lock for
theater doors. It is contained in a
panel which occupies a large surface
on ine insiae or me aoor, ana any
one coming in contact with the
door must press the panel, upon
which the doors open instantly. It
is impossible for the doors of a
building: fitted with this lock to be
i. j it 1 n .
rastenea so mac tne egress is pre
vented, but from the outside no en-
rance is possible except with a reg
ular Key. Terry s theater in London
has been htted throughout with the
new lock.

Boston Journal: "Reading ac

or nis pigs, 'me tails are the in
dicators of porker's condition. If
piggy does not feel very well, if his

The Boston Transcript believes

of a fatalist to the alleged fact that
Buchanen, Tilden and Cleveland

defeated. So long as the democratic
party is traveling on its luck it can
not afford to entirely ignore this
