Revenue protection was a sneak thief
in tho land of the people. As the war

out tho American sjstem. It was not
an American system. It was the old
cast-oil and abandoned system of Eng
land. It wus tho specter of the most
lawless and meanest of the English
kings—James L James Stuart, with his

Berlin, May 10.—Tho Reichstag, bo
ginning tho active labors of tho session
Monday with tho debate on tho East
African credits, has ouly six weeks'
work before prorogration, which lias
been fixed for June 20. The considera
tion of tho military bill will precede the
moasures for benefiting tho workingmen.
Not much will bo heard of the hut men
tioned moasures before tho adjournment
THU labor bill deceitful.
Since the labor protection bill was is
sued Wednesday, scrutiny reveals a
number of amendments to the main pro
posals tending to muko illusory some of
the best prov unions of the measure, by
giving employers means of escaping
them. Thus, under special circum
stances. the employers can he author
ized to break the rule limiting the work
of dhildren under 13 year* to six boura,
and of youth* under 10 to U n hour*.
The bill mentions the spinning factories
and similar occupations where excep
tions may be granted oi which the em
ployers may readily avail themselves.
Another clause transfer* tho direct
responsibility for a broach of the laws
from the employers to the managers or
foremen, thus owning the way for ova-
siotu and making men of straw
answerable instead of the principal*.
The proposals relating to a breach of
contracts are held by the Freissinnige
party and socialists to lie disguised at
tacks upon the right of coalition, leading
to further powers for the suppression of
strikers. The opposition gut hers force,
the socialists declaring that the supposed
new era of lalor reforms differs from
tho Bismarkian era and that tho hill will
be a deception unless much ifioditlcd.
This spirit of opposition promises n
sequence of irritating debates imtore the
house can dispose of the labor bill.
THE EXPtROK to BUY WORKMEN.
Another labor conference having intlu-
ence in moulding tho final form of
the bill will be hold here. The
etnperor intends to ^ summon dele
te discuss trade questions and he pro-
p»os to establish a sjwcial permanent
operative council, under the presidency
of Baron von Herllpsch, minister of com
merce, each member having 2,00*) marks
yearly, with the title or arbitrator. Tbe
members of tho council will bo selected
from delegates to the conference. The
