St. Clond, Minn., April 29.—The strikers have been put in a abate of in dignation at the action of the Brother hood of Engineer! laat night, who met and decided to go to work at once on the strength of the proposition offered by the company and to retanv at the old schedule of wages. It was followed this afternoon by the Brotherhood of Firemen accepting the same teitna. The men say resolution had been unanimously passed that no propositions were to be considered unless they came through the American Railway Union chiefs. The indignation of the striketa knew no bounds, but they aay that they are bound to carry the dav regardless of this action, and are in hopes the other divisions will ttbt follow the example of this one. Nothing In the yards has been moved today, but the official* say that tomorrow the company will resume *11 traffic of every character. Tito men deny Ola. . A Park for Charlotte. / Washington, D.

Ihose ameliorations have a tendency to en courage confidence. The rates of duty.' h(*wever, are |»erhnps less important to tha. major part of our industries than the rates of wages. Upon a wide range of important products the present duties go to\vond the si net requirements of protection, and the uew duties will suffict to keep out the foreign gomta. This is a rule of wide application: but more than this is most probably needed. There has l»een a general reduction In the prices of the foreign good* with which our manufacturers have to compete; and to meet that change it may be found necessary that there be a reduction in the rate of wage*. That is the one con dition upon which a successful resump tion of active business is more or les* dependent. The general demand in. tli«* manufacturing and mining industries fol lower wages thus beeom** n matter of th$ first importance to the revival for which all interests are hoping. So far, the trades unions are offering stub born resistance, upon a In-ond scale, to this demand; and it does not seem im possible that the struggle may he pro longed. That labor will have to yield in the end. there can be no doubt; fqr manufacturer* are now in no position to continue doing business at a loss and will prefer stopping their Works to tak ing that course. It thu* becomes a question whether, following the iariff uncertain lie*,- we- are to have a labor conflict. Upon that hangs the further question—when may wc hope to see onr induatrie* restored to-a basis of confl- dsnee in the revival of trade: for, in all other respests, the country a prepared for an active resumption o( trade and for the undertaking of enterprisea that would afford free employment for labor and capital. For onr part, notwithstand ing the present unyielding attitude of labor, we incline to the opinion that 0 rational public opinion will bring about » second thought among the unions that will bring tbetn to soon accept the inev itable.
