The method of averaging imputed to tha Eveu the most bureau wa not uaed. of the Bulletin caraory axamiuation aoald not fail to disclose the falsity of the premise upon which the entire criticism as to method la based. It baa been charged in Koine quarter that the increase of 18.8 per cent. In wages shown by the bureau ia greater than is actually tha caae, barause the wage which form tba basis of the report represent highly unionised center, where wagee hare bteu increased moat rapidly. This charge la readily refuted by comparing the Bulletin wages with the average of the minimum union wages shown for the same occupations, as compiled by the Secretary of tb Building Contractors' Council of Chicago. III., aud published by the Building Employers' Association of New York City. Bearing iu mind that the onion wages quoted are minimum wage and that tba actual union wages would average considerably higher, the comparisons in a few occupations are aa follows: Minimum union wages of masons la 29 cities average 54 cent per hour, while the average of the bureau ia not quit 45 cents; minimum union wages of bricklayers in 29 cities average 57 cent per hour, while the average of minimum cents; the bureau ia 54 onion wages of, structural iron worker In 25 cities average 40 cent per hour,1 while the average of the bureau is less than 41 cents; minimum union wnges of plumbers in 28 cities average 47 cents per hour, while the average of the cents. These examples bureau is 43 might be multiplied, but those given are sofilcient to show that the averages of he bureau are considerably lower than the average of minimum union wages, and are, therefore, fairly representative n labor in the (of both union and occupations covered. The charge that n unjustifiable increase in wages is secured by the bureau by the collection of it figures from strongly unionized centers ia readily refuted by the above facts. The principal charges have been men Boned the minor ones are equally and unsupported by the facts. The report of the bureau represents the sum of a patient and painstaking invest gation of nearly three years, and its permanent value cannot be lessened or obscured by partisan attacks. Its value aa a scientific study of economic conditions and as a contribution to the somewhat meagre statistics of wages and cost of living hag already been recognized both at home and abroad. The accuracy and excellence of the reports of this bureau of the government have never been seriously questioned during its eighteen years of existence. Under the able and conservative management of Commissioner W right, it has always merit-aits reputation of being a office for the collection and presentation of facts, and so far as can be seen from a careful examination of its latest report, the charges made for partisan effect will not warrant the withdrawal of the confidence of the public. pear! to non-nnio- d n Olney and Cleveland' Monnmental Braes.

He held that Congress was not competent to deal with th agitation, that it wa a question for the individual and that it waa lietter for nil parties, including the slave themselves, that it should remain so. Aa President be deferred to before their leader and quailed threata of secession. While he temporized the seceder perfected their plan, luatead of meeting titeir threata with the words and measures of an Andrew Jaekson he took the illogical and impotent position that, while the State! had a right to secede the nation, with a little n. had no power to prevent them doing so. And this i the man of "mature, experienee." who, in Mr. Cleveland' judgment, i the prototype of Judge Parker. Irresolute and ineffective at Mr. l.iirhnnan was, wa ar not o sure but injustice ia done him in comparing him with Judge Parker. He waa certainly a man of greater maturity than the man from Ksoptt. not only in years but in experience with affair and in knowledge of men. Everything that experience could teach of politica aud statecraft Buchanan knew ouly tb intrinsic capacity to master them waa lacking. Judg Parker has had absolutely none of the experience and training that seemed to fit Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency. In 1877, at the age of twenty-five- , be waa elected surrogate of Ulster County, New York, and under the sheltering wing of DavJd B. Ilill he baa vegetated in some judicial position ever since. That there ia a certain parallelism between bis weak, umlramatie and vacillating utteances aud those of Mr. Buchanan cannot be denied. Their view upon the unconstitutionality of the power of self perpetuation in the Union and of the folly of an army and navy commensurate to the dignity and necessities of a great nation, are strikingly similar and equally false, barren and reactionary. Buchanan lived to repent the "undra-mati- c moderation that warmed accession into life. He supported Lincolns administration and lent all bis influence to the prosecution of the war. But it does not appear that either Judge Parker or Henry Gassaway Davis, who also barks back to the days of Buchanan, follow his precept and example when, in the fierce flame of civil war, he saw a bright light that taught him that the Union must be saved at all hazards. When he came to the conclusion that his country was more to him than his own interpretation of its constitution, Judge Parker and Mr. Davis quit his company and continue to steer their courses by the chart that ran his administration on the breakers. The American people will never elect a counterfeit replica of James Buchanan to the Presidency, if they are warned in Clevetime; and, thanks to land, they recognize that Judge Parker has all of the failings and none of the redeeming qualities of President Buchanan. b- u al-n- anti-slarer- 8ut.
