Oo Friday, December Mr. Starh labtrg, a manufacturer of our city, offered to bit employees a reduction of their wages, he was thr- other bosses on the Monday following. Our unions determined not to allow any reduction whatever, tboogh their Central Executive Committee of the (our unions, refused to accede to any in the matter, and called on the where the above named were members, to assist our unions in defeating them. The just named association called a meeting their members, invited the Presidents of unions to attend the same, and after a leng hy debate, concluded not to allow any of heir members to reduce the price of labor oo grounds: First, that the earnings of the at present, were hardly aufficieat support themselves and families and secnod, that the present embarrassment of' the bde could not be remedied by a reduction of but, resulting from the low standard of rold, and, mostly, from the insufficiency of duties on cigars, could remedied only by a petition of the whole trtde to Congress for f'gtier duty, to protect said branch of industry Thii agreement was fulfilled by the unioni led to several combined miss meetings, in a memorial and petititon to Congress, tnown to all of you. 11 mi? be stated here, that thereupon the -duclion was withdrawn, except by two manu-' those two costing our funds the ol 13,800.

The plasterers wbo have been working in the Insurance Exchange have this day conaidered it to be to their interest to demand a higher rate of wages. Plasterers being compelled to remain idle daring the winter, think they are justified in trying to get the highest wages during summer, that they may be enabled to support tbeasrelves and families. All plasterers are respectfully requested not to work there until this is settled to the satisfaction of all construed therein.

Several of thorn are io an attitude of hostility to tho who contend that without a reduction of they cannot profitably conduct their bnaweas. We all know the absurdity of this elaim. But unfortunately we are quite as fully aware of tbe untoward combination sf circumstances which renders oar ability to defeat their selfish extremely doubtruL 11 to tbe vast area of this city, it is quite natural that within 13 limits it is easier for a man with moderate moans to purchase his own home, than io BMtropolitan New York, or other compact cities We have land sufficient within the boundarie of tbe city, upon which to build a borne for every mechanic in tbe State, and then have an abundance to spare. Having the material, it would seem that we possess also the spirit to it. It la with a peculiar gratification that we notice and ament to this claim, as we have so seldom an opportunity of saying anything indioative of spirit upon the part of our city's work people.

Yet, we are scarcely justified in ordaining to ourselvea any especial credit for facilities bore afforded mechanics in tbe way of accommodations. It does not require a display of an inordinate amaupt of go-ahaadatlsun oai to take advantage of that condition of created by putting into hands both material and tools, when a necessity for the article to be fashioned already exiata, and that is precisely Philadelphia's case. Tbe ground upon which to build, we have in profane abundance, while a few men, several generations ahead of their contemporaries, have bought up so assiduously the ground rent," and building of co-opo ration, that the meet stupid have been actually forced to recognise their intrinsic value, and thay have become to be what are not incorrectly titled peculiarities. It is estimated that from fifteen to twenty millions of are invented in the business of mooting houses for sale in thb city. Its certainly have no cause to complain of their inveetiment, wbieh net thorn a return of about sixteen per cent.

The houses put up by tbit investment are principally boons houses, put up to sell without any regard to substance. tbe comprehensive phrase applied to them by aaechanics. Nevertheless, these are a benefit to mechanics, including those who cannot afford to buy, in that they increase the an ply of houaes for rentage, and of a consequence keep rents st a lower figure than they would otherwise be. It is- to the English Institution of Building Associations, however, that Philadelphi principally ones its reputation for possession of more moderate houses for moderate means," than any other eity in the country. There are probably between one or two thousand of these associationa-in our city, the average disbursements of each, being about one thousand aaontbly.

Aa the only security taken by these is real estate, from this it appears, that there are at least twelve millions of dollars annually invested by them. In view of these facts, it to be a matter of wonderment that our city contains more than New York and Brooklyn combined, and that yet growing, it fair to soon cover its satire surface with brick and mortar. Lioauxuo Tm rn every session of oor State Legislature, held within the last ten years, an attempt has been made to increase the rate of interest recognised ss legal and just within the jurisdiction of this oommonwealth. From different causes, these propositions have been defeated as often as offered. The present session, we did think, would disperse without adding to its long list of failures in this particu Ur, bet as is unsally the case when we expect that immaculate body to do, or to neglect doing a thing, we are disappointed.

A bill was offered in the State Senate last week, providing that on and after April 1st, seven per cent, should be considered the legal rate of interest In this State, and thet it should be lawful to contract in writing, to pay any rata not exceeding ten per cent. This would have practically 1 established tea per as the legal rate, ai I It in folly to snppoee that holders would be willing to loan their money at leas than ten pel when they could legally exact by contract that rentage, and while government bonds, offering what is equal to thirteen per an 1 to be had in such profusion. It was argued bj the advocates of this measure, that the preva1 fence cf legal rates of interest in states, in excess of aix per cent, enticed vasi 1 quantities of capital out of this State. The fol 1 ly of this argument is manifest to every man who will trouble himself to ascertain how im' possible it is to borrow money at six per cent even though to ask more than that is a violatioi 1 of the law, and the fact that the United State 1 in paying the inordinate promises that were ex 1 acted of it ia times of public trepidation, is vi olating the law of every State, is proof sufll cient, that the power to the rate of interes on money cannot be wrested from the mone monopoly of Wall and Third streets, except the plan the National Labor union bae pr op need Bat we will, for the sake of argument, allei that the effect of a lower legal rate ir. thia thai la neighboring states, ss they represent, to driv capital, needed at home, into more profitable I investments in other states, and in anch an admission we will find a powerful argument in sns tenance of ear policy.

If money eeeks investment only whore the highest rates of interest prevail, is it not obvious that the general government is recreant to its constitutionally prescribed duties, in permitting states to adopi conflicting rates of interest, so as to discriminate avainst one another And, if it be not i violation of the spirit and letter of the United States Constitution, to reserve that right to states, would it not be more in oonaonanoe will the teachings both of equity sod of common sense, far the labor of the ooantry to aaite demanding that the states surrender forever to the general government, a privilege fraught with so much danger to it. Reflections induced by a careful canvass of these questions in the mind, ought to make positives of to dissipate all doubts as to the justice of that policy which makes it impossible for oongregated capital is one state, to operate in harmony to another state by giving to the general government the privilege of dee resing that a uniform rate of interest shall obtain throughout its jurisdiction. The bill above alluded to was defeated in the Bute Senate by a vote of eighteen to twelve. The First American Flag. From the PMMe.pMe Age.

Last evening an interesting meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Society was held. Col. John Snowden occupied the chair, and William J. Canby, read an essay upon The American He discovered, in tracing history of this national emblem, that the first instances when the Stars and Stripes were unfurled at the siege of Fort Sohnyler, Aug. 17, 1777, and upon an occasion about one year prior to that time, the brig Nancy was chartered by the Continental Congress to procure military stores in the West Indies, daring the latter part of 1775.

While at Porto Rioo, in July of the ensuing year, the information came that the colonies had declared their independence, and with tbia information came the description of the flag that had been acoepted as the national banner. A young man, Capt Thomas Mandenville, set to work to make one, and successfully accomplished it. The flag was unfurled, and sainted with thirteen guns. When the brig Nancy was upon her return voyage, she was hemmed in by British vessels off Cape May. Her officers succeeded in removing all her munitions to the shore, and when the last boat put off, a young man in John Hancock, jumped into the sea, swam to the vessel, ran up the shrouds of the mast, and, securing the flag, brought it triumphantly to shore, through a hot fire from the British men-of-war The first American flag, however, according to the design and approval of Congress, was made by Mrs.

Elisabeth Roes. Three of her daughters still live in our vicinity to confirm this their belief, not upon what they aaw, for it waa made many yean before they were born, but upon wbat their mother had often told them. A niece of this lady, Mn. Margaret Boggs, aged 95 yean, who now lives in Germantown, is conversant with the fact. The fact is not genenlly known that to Philadelphia not only belongs the honor of flinging the first star-spangled banner to the breexe, bat to a Philadelphia lady belongs the honor of having made it The bouse in which it was made still 239 Arch street (the old No.

being last of an old row. It is related that when Coograss had decided upon the design, Col. George Ross and Gen. Washington visited Mrs. Ross and asked her to make it She said, I knew whether I can, but Til and directly suggested to the gentlemen that the design was wrong, in tout the st ji were six-cornered and not five-cornered as they should be.

This was corrected, she made the flag, Congress accepted it, and for half a doxen years this lady furnished the Government with til its national flags, having, of ooorsc, a large assistance This lady was also the wifo of Claypole, one of the lineal descendants of Oliver Cromwell.
