The Scranton Tribune Is a Republi

An Instructive Precedent.
It thn nrealdent has not yet phrased
to his satisfaction that part of his an
nual message which will treat of the re
lations of our government with foreign
governments, he could not do better
, than to reproduce the spirit pf the pa
triotic letter In which Daniel Webster,
as secretary of state, communicated
Under date of Dec. 21, 1850, his reply
to Mr. Hulsemann, Austrian charge
d'affalrs, who had, by direction of the
Vienna government, protested against
the steps taken by President Taylor
to ascertain the progress and probable
result of the revolutionary movements,
previously rife In Hungary. In partic
ular, Mr. Cleveland's attention la
called to the following extract from
that reply, which Is as pertinent to
present conditions as it then was to the
Ill-fated battle for liberty waged by
the Hungarian patriots:
The United States may be pardoned even
by thoee who profess adherence to the
principles of absolute goverment If they
entertain an ardent affection for thoso
popular forms of political organization
whloh have o rapidly advanced their
own prosperity and happiness and enabled
them in ao short a period to brlns their
country and the "hemisphere to which it
belong to the notice and respectful re
gard, not to say the admiration, of the
civilised world. The Vnlted 8tates has
abstained at ell times from acts of inter
ference with the political changes of the
earth. They cannot, however, fail to
cherish always a lively Interest in the
fortunes of nations struggling for Institu
tions like their own. It is the right of ev
ery Independent state to enter Into friend
ly relations with every other Independent
state. Of course, questions of prudence
naturally arise In reference to new states,
brought ,by successful revolutions Into
the family of . nations; but it Is not to be
required of neutral powers that they
should await for recognition of the now
government by the parent state. No prln.
clple of public low has been more fre
quently aoted upon, within the .Inst thirty
years, by the great powers of the world,
than this. Within that period eight or
ten new states have established Independ
ent governments within the limits of the
colonial dominions of Spain, on this conti
nent; and In Europe the same thing has
been done by Belgium and Greece. The
existence of aH these governments was
recognised by some of the leading powers
of Europe as well as by the United States
before It was acknowledged by the
States from which they had separated
themselves. If, therefore, the United
States had gone so far as formally
to acknowledge the Independence of Hun-
f ary, although as the result has proved,
t would have been a precipitate step, and
one from which no benefit would have re
suited to either party; It would not, never
theless, have been an act against the law
of nations, provided they took no part In
her contest with Austria.
In conclusion, Secretary Webster
aid:
Toward the end of his note Mr. Hjilse
tiann remarks that "if the government of
die United States were to think It proper
o take an Indirect part In the political
Movements Of Europe, American policy
would be exposed to acts of: retaliation,
ind to certain . Inconveniences, which
would not fall to affect the commerce and
industry of the two hemispheres." As to
tajlatlon, the government and people of

'only eighty miles distant from the

Exposing False Representations.
The report of the United States com
mission recently appointee; 10 inspcn
the proposed route of the Nicaragua
canal and make an Independent and
unbiased estimate of its cost Is now in
the hands of the president. Its conclu
sions have not been officially revealed,
but It Is said the report declares that it
Is neither practicable nor advisable to
attempt to construct the canal upon the
data at present available.; Tne com
mission makes as Its provisional esti
mate of the canal's probable cost the
guess of 1133.472,893 or nearly double the
Maritime Canal company's original
estimate of $69,893,660, and recommends
that before anything else be done In the
premises congress appropriate $350,000
for extensive additional surveys and ex
aminations, covering a period of at least
eighteen months.
The Inference to be derived from this
report Is that the glowing representa
tions which have from time to time
been made to congress by representa
tives of the two canal companies which
have endeavored to get Uncle Sam to
indorse and vitalize their otherwise
unpopular securities have consisted
mainly of Imagination. This has long
been suspected, and no doubt If the
truth were fully known the canal pro
ject In Its past forms would become the
crowning political scandal of the cen
tury.' But It does not follow, because
the Nicaragua canal has been seised
upon as a convenient theme by specu
lators; that it Is Itself a delusion. Under
proper conditions of ownership and con
trol a trans-lsthmlan, deep-channel
water-way through Nicaragua would
undoubtedlv be an Invaluable stim
ulus to commerce. Such ; a canal,
hotvever, should be built and managed
by the United States, or under condi
tions assuring to this government a
paramount voice in the practical direc
tion of its affairs.
Before he, goes to Washington to mis

An Unprofitable Weapon,
The first number of the bi-monthly
bulletin provided for by the last con
gress has been Issued by the federal
department, under the direction of La
bor Commissioner Wright, One Inter
esting feature of It Is a review of the
strikes and lock-outs in the United
States from Jan. 1, 1881, to June 30,
1894, prepared by ' the commissioner
himself. From this it appears, accord
ing to an abstract by W. E. Curtis, that
there have been 14,390 strikes, involving
69,167 establishments and 3,714,408 per
sons thrown out of employment, during
the period named.
The largest number of strikes was In
1890, when the total reached 1,833; the
lowest number was In 1884, when the
total was only 443. In 1885, however, the
number of establishments involved in
strikes was smaller than any previous
or succeeding year. For the first six
monthu of 1894 there were strikes in
6,164 establishments, indicating that if
the same proportion was continued
during the year It would reach In
round numbers to 10,300, slightly more
than for 1886, when 10,053 establish
ments were Involved in strikes the
largest ever known. During the first
six months of. 1894, 482,066 persons were
thrown out of employment by strikes,
Which number was not reached during
any-previous year except In 1886, when
tbeiotal was 608,044. In fact more than
one-fourth of all the persons thrown
out of employment by strikes during
the last thirteen and a half years lost
their places in 1886 and during the first
six months of 1894. The largest number
of lock-outs occurred in 1892.
During the period named we find the
largest number of establishments af
fected' by strikes ' to have been:. In
New York, 18,787; Illinois, 12,828; Penn
sylvanla, 10,651. Industries most large
ly affected were: Building trades, 26,-
8(0; coal and coke, 8,018; tobacco, 6,465;
clothing, 4,454; transportation, 2,
furniture-, 950; brick, 884; printing, 831;
cooperage; 765. The number of actual
strikers during- the whole period of
thirteen and one-half years is shown
fohave been 2,854,374. That strikes
have rapidly increased during that time
Ig shown by the fact that the number
Involved during the first six years was
1,020,064, During the later seven and
one-half years It was 1,834,218, The
number of lockouts during the thirteen
and one-half years mentioned was
4,0ft, In which 449,927 employes were
engaged. Of these J66,9),'pr 81.50 per
cent.; were thrown out of 'employment,
and 411441 lost their places permanently,
new ' employee , being substituted , for
them.' Of'the total number of employes
thrown out of employment Jy strikes
9L22 per cent, were men and 8.78 per
cent, women. -
While It may do no particular good
to call attention to the fact that for
every dollar gained by strikes labor in
this country has lost, on an average,
$3, without mentioning the loss to em
ployers and to the' community in gen
eral, yet this is the truth, and it needs
to be clearly comprehended. If its sig
nificance were duly appreciated there
would probably soon be a marked de
cline in the number and cost of strikes.

BAYARD'S BAD BREAK.
From the Washington Post.
The London Daily News of NoV. 8 prints
with approving comment Mr. Bayard's
latest speech denouncing the voters of the
United states for their repudiation of free
trade. The synopsis Is 'given, as follows
The ouenlnn address ot the Edinburgh
Philosophical institution was delivered
last night by Mr. thtyard, ambassador of
the United States of America, who select
ed Tor. the subject individual rreeaom tne
eerm of national orogress and perma
nence.' He- contended that the freedom of
Its individual members was the essential
basis of the freedom pf the state. In his
own country he had, he said, witnessed
the Insatiable growth ot that form of
state socialism styled "protection,' which
he beiieveu naa none more to rosier eiass
legislation and create Inequality of for
tune, to corruDt oubllc life, to banish men
of independent mind and character from
tne puDllc councils, to lower xn lone oi
national representation, blunt public con
science, create false standards In the
nnDuUir mind, to familiarise it with re-
liunco unon state aid and guardianship in
private aaffirs, divorce ethics from poll
tics, and place politics upon the low level
of a mercenary scramble, than any other
single cause. Step by step, and largely
owing to confusion of civil strife. It had
auncperlert In obtaining control of the sov
ereign power of taxation, never hesitating
at any alliance, or to resort to any combi
nation that promised to assist Its purpose
of oerverting pudiio ismuon irom n

ating revenues ior ine support ui uie iut-
ernment ot tne wnoie people inio an en

beneficiaries
and combinations
called
!trusts.'
"Under its dictation Individual enter-
nrlA anit Inddnandenca had been OD'
pressed, and the energy of discovery and
Invention debilitated and discouraged. It
had unhesitatingly allied itself with every

operation for generations and where the
Inequalities of fortune are greater than
In any civilized country on the face of the
earth. So much for his facts. His theo
ries are equally absurd. He contends that
nations cannot be prosperous under pro
tertlon. and vat France, the most prosper
ous of all nations, subsists under a tariff
almost exclusively protective. He says a
great many other silly and extravagant
