British Skilled Labor Coming To America

?rom the New York Times. Moored at the Castle Garden doek yesterday aftenioon, and apparently a ittle impatient to get under way, lay ;he dirty little steamer Vulcan, half Eeny and half freight boat, under an engagement with the Frary Cutlery Company, of Bridgeport, Conn., to take about 130 cutlers, who arrived from Sheilield in the Algeria on ïuesday night, to that enterprising Connecticut town. In conversation with Mr. Frary the reporter was informed that comfortable tenements in East Bridgeport liad already been provided forthe newconiers, and that they would be immediately set at Work, producing cutlery of the iinest quality. Eacli man's tenement lias a little garden which he can cultivate, if he will, and each workman will be encouraged in every feasible way to f ound a pleasant home for his family. The company pays all the expenses of transportation from Sheffleld to Bridgeport, landing them at their new thresholds free of cost and of Hen upon their wages. Twenty or thirty were brought over as an experiment several weeks ago, and in October about 500 English and Germán cutlers will be furnished with transportation to Bridgeport and set at work. The Sheflield papers speak very disparagingly of the new movement, which is understood to involve ciipital as well as skilied labor. The philosophy of it is brieily set forth by Mr. Frary. O wing to the high tariff on knives in this country, and the free trade in men,capitalists have conceived the idea that it is better to bring their factories ad workmen over here and make knives that have no tariff to pay, than it is to keep on contending against American manufacturera with a large discrimination in favor of the latter. The removal of the operatives, who arrived yesterday is practically the removal of an old and well-established Sheflield factory, and the transfer of its capital and labor to America. A new aspect of the tarifL question is that of the attraction of foreign capital to the development of American manufacturera; but should the venture of the Frarv Cutlery Company prove successful, it will, no doubt, be imitated by other manufacturing interests.
