Tho Senate has passed tho House bill
to establish' tt Dopaitmcnt of labor.
Them weie several unimportant amend-1
mentH niado which will necessitate to-
turning the bill to the House for its con-
currenco.
Tho Senate committee on ttgilcultiiie '
have madii a favorable rcort on the
House bill to enlarge thu duties of the!
Department of Agrlciilluio and make it!
an executive department. The bill, as it
passed tho House, provided for the t ru us

War
Department to tho department of Agri
culture. This has been struck out of thu

Tho Republicans of the I louse have

on l ie .Mills tat I n I. wniiout lutiuori
discussion or amendment. This action !
on the part of the Republicans shows j
plainly that tliev were afraid thu bill
would puss if they allowed It to come to a
vote without fuitlicr delay. Tho bill will,
w hen taken up again, Imj considered under
tho llo minute rule by sections. At this
stage amendments will bo in otdnr. It

Tliero is an old story of slave days in
South Carolina which wo leeommend to
Ids ' the attention of tho monopolist "pro
tected" IntoioMs which aro opposing tho
: .Mills bill. At a coloted Itimtixt 'itn-
mcrsiou" the clergyman held one of Ids
' Hock, u burly coluied brother, somewhat
, too long under tho water, lie came up
! spluttering, and as soon as he could get
' Ids lueatii, shouted out. "Look hcah; ef
iyoti don't slop dls fooiin', fust ling you
I know some gentleman will lose a nigger."
.Monopolies, as everybody knows, die
hard; but all history shows that thev
polish mainly because of their own stub-
Pom resistance to tho most moderate
reformers. The Southern slave-holders
went to war because they would not to
eruto tho extremely mild reform tie -
minid..il he the North to keen slavery
out of thu Terrltotles. Louis .Napoleon
(beamed for veuis of giving Franco her
liberty, but liufoto ho could maku tin his
mind in nhalo nnvtliiiiL' of bis monopoly

If the capitalists emxaiied in what ato
called tlio "protected imlusfties" have
sense, and desho to save a patt of their
privileges, they ought totally at once to tlio

see so mild, so temperate, so oxticniclv
conservative a measure of tarilt' reform
pioitorotl again as that which thev allow
their thick-wilted spoliesnuui in t ongiess
to denounce as a free trade bill, This bill
is in fact so small, so inadcitmto a
measure of tefoim, that if it had been
brought forwaid by the monopolist cup
italics who are opposing It It could well
have been opposed as a measure ingen
iously contrived by them to stave oil" a
real reform of tarill' abuses.

iiieir own tarill' commission, in 18SJ,
urged a leductlou of twenty-live per
cent.
To lie sure, tho capitalist monopolists
turned their back angrily on the commis
ciou they themselves hud netted, but
that was oulv another of their stupidities,
for their rejection of moderate refotm
then has kept them In hot water over
shuVi.iund brought them face to face with
