SPECIAL AGEST OSBORN'S REP0R1.
Tue Tribune this morning gives aniplo
space to the emphatic denials made hy Ap?
praiser McMullen snd the New-York Importers
of cutlery, who were attacked In tho startling
report submitted to the Treasury Department
by \V. ll. Osborn, tho special agent ss ho was
appointed tu investigate thn lin por at lome of
foreign cutlery.. The Tribune's only desire in
this, eas In every other matter, ls to render equal
and exact iustice to all. The Appraiser and the
importers certainly make pointed and vigorous
answers to Mr. Osborn's statements, and they
accuse him of the gravest misrepresentations.
It is the clear duty of the Treasury Depart?
ment to give the whole stabject the most thor?
ough and unsparing examination. It cannot be
denied that American manufacturers have been
seriously damaged and in many cases driven
out of business by tte fraudulent undervalua?
tions practised by importers. This is true not
only of the cutlery trade bnt also of many
other branches of business. The explanations
and statements of cutler*/ importers should bo
weighed fairly and without prejudice. It may
be that Mr. Osborn has dealt blows wildly and
recklessly. The Appraiser and the importers
cannot be condemned on the report of any one
man, even thou_:h he ia an expert. Hut of the
existence of extensive undervaluations in cu_?
lery importations there can be no serious dis?
pute; that these frauds have worked the grav?
est injury to an important American industry
ls equally beyond questiou. Now the Treasury
Department must Hud a remedy and apply it.
tOO MAE I EXFEETB,
_ There appears to be a singular disposition on
the part of members of the Aqueduct Com?
mission to employ experts to advise the
Commission in regard to matters which it ought
to be competent to decide on itself. At its
meeting yesterday expel ts were employed
to advise the Com mission concerning the
advisability of o-instructing the stupendous
Quaker Illidge Dam. The city has alroii<ly
paid about $.0,000 for expert testimony on
this question. In uibliiion the Commission heard
evidence for weeks aud months on the subj-ct.
The members are not so overburdened willi
work that tli-by cannot inform themselves
without employing more experts, at heavy
expense to the city, for the purpi/-** of advising
them in r *g ,r.l to it.
At a previous meeting the Ceimmissionera
decided to employ experts to advise them in
respect to tim question of light aud ventilation,
Experts were employed last wiring to report on
Ibis very question. The result of their labors
ia found in a.printed pamphlet accessible 19
every member ot tho Commission. It so
happens thnt one of tho exports who too* patt
in the previous inquiry on.ihls matter was a*ked
to go over the matter again. Is there any reason
except that of delny for incurring such an ex?
pense? SHU another commission of experts,
of which General Newton was a member,
incidentally made a report on this question.
This wan the commission to investigate the
Craven charges. Its work cost tho city several
thousand dollars.
With such experienced engineers as Mr.
n.irnesand Geneiil Newton on the Commission,
and the Other members haring amplo time to
de-vote to lln'ir duties, what need is thereof
moro expeitst Tiwi Commissioners should
bini- iu mind that there is a limit to tho
burdens to bo lie posed un trtxpiycrs. Tho
Commission has Just employed as an assistant
en-jineor nt a salary of ."jo,OOO a year an
"expert'1 who is not an engineer, and Rhose
services the chief engineer rained nt Ieee than
one-half that amount. It i9 time to call a halt
in the business of employing cxpoils to givo
advice. __?_???__?_?_?_____?__
PR.U TD AL Pilli A Mil Rr i TY,
Now that Mrs. Helen Campbell's articles on
the condition of the workingwomen have
aroused and interested the public nnd quick?
ened the con "eic nco of the churches, it is leeh*
able that whatever helpful impulses arise should
bo directed into useful channels, nnil not be
Wasted in futile experiment. While it ls em?
inently desirable that thoso who now sillier
I:om o'*ei work and underpnv should if possible
be put In tho way of doing better for th. m
f-eh cs, it is equally important that tlu-y ahoold
be enabled to get the utmost out of their pres?
ent conditions; and it is co-tuin that they have
not done so hitherto. There If, indeed, not a
little mis-ii,prehension a" to the real potential?
ities of tho earnings of tho poor. It hy no
?Oana follow- as a matter of course that a
woman who earns suv .*j*"f I week is in a state of
miser?. The truth is thnt the eom named, it
wisely expended, will (ninia! a raftdent supp!*;
of all Clings neees-ary to the mnlnten.inco of
health and reasonable comfort. In a larire per*
cenlago of cases, however, lick of economic
knowlediro and ignorance of cookery canes tho
poor to waste much of their wages, and dliablo
tin in from getting anything lil.e full value for
their expenditure-".
The most practical help that can perhaps bo
offered this cla-s ls such information as will
ennble them to economize. It need not be pre?
tended that it is the easiest thing Imaginable to
impart such knowledge. The poor, unfort
unatelv for their own best intei-tta, are very
conservative, vcrv proud nnd suspicious, anil
their prejudices are apt to tako form in tho
mo.-* unexpected end bewildering ways. Thus,
for instance, only tho other day, when the re?
mains ol' tile Lord Mayor's banquet were to be
distributed among some of the London poor,
they refused, for soino myste-rioiis reason, to
touch the tattle soup, utterly despising end re
1-eCttng that Aldermanio luxury. The same
spirit I as often led thom to spurn offers of p:il
itabla and wholesoioi* food, because it wal
[?heap, ''he dread of being thought poorer than
they are is indeed as present tu them as to moio
I'lcll-l'i-do people, and this feeling friquently
prevent- them Iron adopting economic habits.
To teach them how to lay out their money sn ns
to obtain the largest return for it is not easy,
'hen-fore, but it is possible, and it is a kind of
ivuik the cou partialineeeeiof which must
produce excellent and lasting effects, A new
plan announced for Brooklyn, whereby whole?
some meals are to be furnished at thp low rate
of ono cont, is tully in lino with this method of
working, and while it does not appear to \>?
intended for the class of workers (Hitler consid?
eration, it is a practical aud suggestive relief
measure.
How to buy food; what food t> buy ; and
bow to prepare ir when bought j are questions
the solution of which in a right way will great?
ly advance tho comfort, health and general
well-being of the poor. As it is to:> many of
thom squander their means upon positively un?
wholesome fcod, wheu if they knew bette' tin y
could for the Ramo or even less outlay procure
good and healthy provisions. Such instruction
in'marketing and cooking as would enable them
to prepare a very few simple but substantial
dishes Would bea real service to n um beru of
them. Many of conrso would at lirst refuso to
take the advice ottered them, but some would
bc giateful for and follow lt, and their example
would produce its natural rffoet in time. If by
these means even a percentage of the working?
women were taught to increase the purchasing
power of their earnings, it is obvious that tho
net result to them would be equivalent to Rn
inereaso of wages i and it must bo realized that
this way of improving their condition is much
more feasible than that of compelling employ?
ers to raise their payments or that of diminish?
ing the supply in the labor niaiket. Moreover,
the lessons of economy once learned aio apt to
stay bv the learner, and they will enhance tho
benelitot every subsequent gain in earnings ;
whereas without some knowledge of economy
it is questionable whether any elevation of the
w ages sf.andai il eau briug real or permanent im?
provement to the condition of the poor.
If improvement of thc Lrio Canal _aes_M a
clianze in the school-lax system, this city will
probably not object. It would rather be taxed
for the enlattrcnicnt of Its great waterway to tbo
Wost than, as now, to support the public schools
of remote counties of tho State.
