On Sunday, March IC, The Tiuuink pub?
lished a description of tho condition of tho silk
industry in Paterbin?"Thc Lyons of America."
, A letter bon Mr. Robert P. Porter in regard to
thc Lyons of Prance and ita silk-weavers will
be found elsewhere in this issue. A comparison
of the statistics of the two articles shows that
wldle, the industry at Pat4*rson has had a re?
markable development, it has not yet over?
taken Lyons by any means. The number of
hands employed in silk -weaving in the New
Jersey city is about 15,000 ; at Lyons they
number 150,000, It cannot be said, therefore,
that silk making in America is as yet a full
grown industry. On the contrary, it is still In
its infancy, and while it is growing fast it is
not ready to stand without Protection. Owing
to the greater use of machinery bo America, a
comparison between the wages paid to silk
weavers here and in France is not satisfactory ;
but still it is evident that the pny in Prance is
so much less than in the United States that if
the tariff barrier were thrown down, it would
menu good-bye to silk-weaving in this country.
TRYING TO CATCH Ur.
By all means, Messrs. Democrats! If you
eau catch up with the age as far as the Turift
Coin mission of 15-82, it will bea great leap
forward for you. Do it if you are able ; why,
certainly! The position boldly and firmly
taken by the Ways and Means Committee, on
thc Mon ill tarill of 1861, was a good one?for
Democrat-. Bepnblicani advanced to a better
and wiser, lt is true, twenty-two years ago, and
a party that cannot get within twenty yean
of the age can hardly be called quite spry
enough for theee telegraphic times. Hut if the
Democrat ie party can gel Itself along as far as
the Republican position of 1882, that would bc
nally meritoriouf progress.
Messrs. Carlisle, Mollison, Hurd _ Co., it
should bc said injustice to them, display no
willingness to undertake so startling an acro?
batic feat aa a single frying leap from 1861 to
1882. But other men of tliepartv aliow more
courage and agility. Mr. Buckner, of Missouri,
lor instance, would like to have the Democratic
party enact a Tarifl Commie-ion act like the
one passed by the lae! Republican Congress,
and then heroic illy refuse to do or to say any
thing else on tlie tarill question. It would not
matter thal almoal every Democral in Con?
gress is committed, either by bia votes aa a
member two yean ago, or by bia apeechesin
the Bubsequi ni campaign, against the Republi?
can policy ol Investigating before acting. The
traditional Democratic policy, we are aware, ls
to leap first and look afterward. When the
Commission bill waa pending, bon savagely it
waa denounced aa a dodge bj Democrats of all
*-h.ul.'-, and sises, Possibly we might not be
able tn ii''ness a gmfle ox taro, it the very men
who ao loftily berated the BqpubUcans of 1882
should now Clime tagging along in their foot?
steps, only two years t.?i late. Still, tunes
change, and Democrats change with them. If
tho party can jump the gulf between 1861 and
18S2, and get aa much common-sense and in?
formation as the Bepnblicani had two yean
earlier, it will be a good thing for the couutiy.
To positions which they have abandoned, the
Republicans axe ever ready to welcome their
opponent! with a cordiality only equalled by
Ton Corwin'a welcome " with bloody hands to
hospitable grave-."
THE CRY JOH FREE SUITS.
Nt.i *, ith.-tandiiig the fact that " Our Naviga?
tion Laws" have been discussed extensively in
every part ofthe Country, few persons seem
really to understand them; and yet tiny eon
t in in* to cry out against these statutes as unwise
and unsound, and of inch a nature as _to pre?
vent the United Staten from becoming again a
maritime nation. There are ninety-seven Acta
ofOongresa comprising our navigation laws,
seventy-two of which bear directly on naviga?
tion and the rest upon the m.ale of determining
tonnage measurement. Thoae apecial acts date
li.-ni December 31,1792 to May rt, Ism. it
cannot bc shown that any ono ol' them i.s injur?
ious to our National prosperity, The j.lea is
mado that the statute against admitting to
American registry ships bought in foreign
Countries ls the chief OaUSC ol' the decline ill
American commerce, and that we want "free
ship-." There are three claaaea clan..iring for
free ships?that part of the presa which prefers
to advocate British sohemea and interests; the
ship-broken representing EngHah firms who
will benefit by a commission on all Jthe salea of
ships made to merchanta on this side ot the
Atlantic; and commission merchants not hav?
ing lufficii ni capita] to own either -hip or cargo,
who would be content to act as agent-,
Most of the a hip-own era are opposed to bee
ships". ship-builders ure hostile, and navigaton
aiul .hip-master, are advene to the acheme,
preferring home-bnill ship*, to those of foreign
(?<m-traction. Neither the producer of wealth
nor tile greal shipping merchant asks Congress
for such a change in the laws; and the artisans,
whose industriee contribute to the Nation's
riches, ale more strongly Opposed to such a
proposition than any oilier claas. Tlie preesure
foi free ships comes from England, whose
builders and ship-owners have large fleets of
-?? .ini-hips iiiiil Railing vessels which they arc
anxious to sell. Theee veasela were built upon
speculation, or have passed beyond their time
ol usefulness. This ls the class which La
(specially .-n,,'ig in lhe belief th.it our hr.
wrong, and this el asaila extremely anxious to
get in an entering wedge in the hope thal it will
be driven further un> il our laws penni! the use
of foreign-built ships in our coasting, lake and
river navigation. Tho few American ship?
builders and ship-owners havo bought the
materials for the construction aud equipment
ot their veaaels- and have paid the Government
a large amount in duties1 hence, the Govern?
ment properly protects tbem in the exclusive
right to carry ita flag on the inland araten and
in theeoaatwiae trade. It wouhl lur plainly ni -
j, ;si to penult foreign-bnill veasela to enter into
competition with them, and il would be mon
iinjiir-t to the artisans who are employi 1 In the
industries connected with thc building of
\. - el*-.
riifortiinately, owing to-thc r< volution in the
construction of ships which occurred during
our war while British built privateer*, wen

A TARTY QUESTION.
This is what Civil Service Reform has now
openly become, and no Republican is sorry t.
have it so just at a time when the Independent
voters need to understand the real Spirit of boll
parties, lt was, practically, a party queation,
when the National law was passed, for the
Democrats in Congress sought to cripple it witli
amendments, and their secret feeling was om
ot hostility. Thc only bills to repeal the law
have been introduced by Ih niocrats. The last
Democratic Legislature in this Btate did, trade]
tho stress ot publio sentiment, pass a law, but
by the time thia session opened they had re?
pented of having reformed. The only billa tc
repeal the law have conic from Democrats, and
the other day all tho votes in lhe Assembly but
one against the bill makin,, the luw compulsory
in all cities of over 20,000 people ennie from
Democrats,
The same spectacle wa- repeated a day 0. '.wc
since in the Massachusetts Senate. A Civil
Service law was under consideration, and Dem?
ocrats attacked it, jeered at it, voled against it.
One Senator said the bill was "? thc embodiment
oi' hypocrisy"?"a trick to keep men in wann
berths on the eve of a, change."1 Another said
lt was M a humbugn and "a civil fraud." Thr
bill was passed by a strict party vote?a record
of whieh thc Republicans hiv.- do re?son to l>.
ashamed and \\ hich is likely to be repeated.
IMPBI80NMBNT Ko I! UEnT.
All abuses timi defenders. Noa that atten?
tion baa ben oalled to tin- existence of Im?
prison men I for debt notwithstanding thal the
people of New-York yean ago declared they
would tolerate it no longer, apologists begin to
advance and asserl that after all il is only a
particnltu kind of impi isonmenl thal exists, and
Ilia! m.'.mil need i.e itt:jiiis'itit-tl long it they are
willing to complj with certain legal forms, li
was shown recently that a man haa been con?
fined liv.* yean in the Ludlow Street Jail. Is ii
tobe pretended thal this mau preferred im?
prisonment to freedom ? <?; is thc ca**.- that, as
..fold, men are required t<> make impossible
statements or to do Impossible things, before
they can be liberated*. What the Eacte prove
j.-* that the will ot the people ol New-York has
been thwarted in this matter* that a reform
that they decreed ha** boon refused, and an
ancient abase kept alive, either for the benefit
of greedy legal practitionen oi corrupt and
rapacious officials. It has been shown that the
Ludlow Street Jail has been conducted very
lunch after thc method ol' the old Mai-hillsea
Prison, a*- described by Dickens iii "Little
Dorrit,'' though some ol' the Ludlow Street
practices are only to !..? paralleled in thc history
of the Fleet Prison, of infamous memory. The
strong presumption ia that thc practice of im?
prisoning nen nnder civil procesfl has been re?
tained lor anything but publio or honorable
motives, and it is certain iii it whatever thc pre?
text thc custom ih w holly liail ami altogether iu
deliance of public opinion.
Creditors have all the protection and recourse
they arc entitled to without this. No man over
paid his debts the quicker tor being imprisoned
unless he mus a rogue, and it a debtor i>- a rogue
the law provides ample moana ot circumventing
and punishinghim. There la no difficult] in
imprisoning a man on a charge of fraud, bot ll
luis been and even low ia the practice to clap
debtonin jail when no ground Cor a charge ol
fraud exist-j when the Callan to pay debts
ia plainly dun to sheer inability. There can be
noexcu.se or justilical iou lor this. Then can
be no SXCUSe tor Imprisoning any one on a civil
process. Ii is barbarous, lt is against tbe
spirit if not the letter of the Constitution. It is
under the existing political condition** not only
an abuse but an outrage, sinoe lt puta helpless
and Innocent citizens into the power of venal
and unprincipled politicians, who plunder them
without compunction, and donut hesitate to
subject them to WOTM treatment than tint vilest
criminal receives in the penitentiaries. Laws
which penni* such things to be done should nor
i.e tolerated for a moment utter the truth la
made known. No party can Liar thc odium of
sustaining snch legislation. Tin-re ought, then
fore, to ba no attempt to palteT with this ques?
tion, but the State Legialatnn should at once
repeal the luws under which this shameful
abuse bas so long been f..si?*ie.| and protected.
MORRY ASE BUSINESS.
Redemption of bonds by the Treasury last
Week Cl 11.-v-d I lld bill I.S to g.lill ill lCselVf. At
the same timedulneas in tin-stock and other
marketa diminished loans and deposits, so thal
ihe Burplufl reported on Saturday wai
$8,589,125, againat $6,654,825 for the pre
viona week. The actual gain of the banka in
specie was more than appear, in the st.it.-ment,
because the reserve was doubtless considerably
lower at thc end ol' the previous week than the
statement indicated. The Treasury lost over
$3,000,000 in gold certificates and gold coin,
and ;.:iid ..ut *s7"7,**77 legal tenden t<> add
$763,545 mon- useless silver to its stock
owned. This ind ites that the banks gained
n.'iiih t'\i,-n as much irohl as they appear from
their averages to have gained, lhe monej
market is abundantly supplied, and the sniall
cxports of gold only took ofl a fraction oi
amount dUbursed by thc Treasury for bombi
The week was marked by several Interesting
monetary events. Tin- new 5 percent second
mortgage on the Canada Southern for
?6,000,000, taken '?? a combination ol' German
houses and the Vanderbilt party, according to
report, and the placin ; of th.- $3,000,000 loan
ol'ihe Oregon Navigation, which dispatches
from Boston sav was ill taken bj aboul noon,
show the abundance oi Dione) that is -.'kin.'
satisfactory luveetment or nae. Exchange
waa quiet on Saturday, ind ramon ol' further
drawings on account of ihe Dominion of Cau
ad.i nen- denied.
The busineaa outlook, notwithstanding the
abundance of money, is unsatisfactory ; indeed,
ihe shrinkage of loans must lu- attributed to the
shrinkage of business rather than any oonserv
iti -tn *m t In* p.ul of th.- bank*, tor tiny am
burdened with a large amount >>? unemployed
lilllds. 'ihe moat COnSpicUOUS event ol tho
week was the second [eduction of freight rates
Irom the \\'e*t by Commissioner Kink. The
Penna)Kania Insists that, if the pool is to con?
tinue at all, its rules shall be rigidly enforced
.gainst all it-* member*. If thej cannot h. M
enforced, that will form snflcient reason for
abandoning the pool and milking some other ar
ritngeiiioiit. Tha Clearing House plan is grow?
ing iii favor with railroad men who are not es?
pecially Interested in stock speculation, and lt
li advocated with great ability and cann -.tncss
by Mr. Fink. Perhaps tho demonstrated Inea
jiacity of the pool to cnfuroo its compact-* may
lead to the adoption of this more coll, lent and
rational system. The nominal rate from Chicago,
now 16santa pei 100poonda for grain,Innot
yet iis low is tho actual rate hus been for some
time, for nominal charges for transportation nie
now and lor weeks have been gi. itel than the
diflerenee between New-York and Chicago
price**, and yet grain is constantly coming to
New-York. Reports ure that Chi.ago
New-York freight cont niels hav<* been made sfl
low i.s 1<) cents. That these rafi's are below
tho average cost of transporting all freight Tki

Neither industrial nor commercial prospects
are altogether pleasing. It waa to bo expelled
that threats of tariff reduction would seriounly
embarnss some industries. Bui the floods have
alao had a share, and tho unusual weather, and
the hostility of Kuropean (Joverninciits to
American pork, nnd the dissatisfaction of China
about our u hoodlums" and their legislative de?
mands, and, moro than all, the readiness with
which laboring people engage in struggles with
employers. The number of particularly un?
reasonable strike* is larger than usual this year.

and so it possible that those whose business it

hourly the dlsaatrooa elfeeta of their trade, may
think ii is deserving of respect. Hut the publio

flourishes upon the ruin ol' its supporters,
which derives its revenues from the plunder of

of the community i which mini-ten to every

The (few-Jersey Legislators hoe done well In

ought to pass a similar law, and muke lt apply to

the Hay and waters adjoining this city have almost

Health Offlsar Smith has been urging in his an?
nual reports tho lorre- si ty of a law to compel the
Isolation of hospitals on passenger steamers, so ns
to prevent the dissemination of contagion. This
matter ls of much imporranco to tho health, uot
only of all those who "go down to the sea in
ships," bal to the commnnities with which the
passengers mingle immediately after landing. Dr.
Smith says in his last report: "Neither National
nor State law provides for the isolation of hospitals
for contagious diseases, or gives to the quarantine
otli,-er tho power to connie! such au rirrnntj*-iiii*nt ai
will prevent the Infection Of tho well. To detain at
quarantine paassnger st ea ninia until the incubative
period of smallpox, for instance, has expired would
practically pfn-e an embargo on passenger travel to
this port." The hospital** of new transatlantic
passenger steamer.' aro properly isolated; but many
of tho old steamers, Dr, Smith says, arc badly oft in
thia respect. This and other sanitary reforms on
ter iteamers he thinks should be a matter of
statutory regulation.
