AMERICAN WATCH co,
WALTHAM, MASS.

This case is formed in one solid piece with
out joint or seam, opening in FRONT ONLY,
thus avoiding the usual CAP, and securing
greater strength and durability.
These Watches are all OPEN FACE. The
bezel, into which an extra strong chrystal is
fitted with an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached to the case by
screwing it thereon. and thus forms an air
tight junction with the body of the case,
which is proof against dust and moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners, lum-
bermen and others who are almost constantly
exposed and who have to make frequent
reference to the watch, these qualities are Of
the utmost Importance.

BEFORE the Senate subcommittee on
Labor on the 18th, in New York, William
G. Moody, of Brooklyn, author of "Land
and Labor" said that many foreign cap
italists were purchasing vast tracts of land
in the South and West. English Lords
were dominating over territory that was
three times larger than Great Britain, and
by their system of wholesale farming had
driven American farmers from homesteads
and into the ranks of wage slavery. Our
railr DAD despots, he said, had more power
than the feudal monarchs of Europe, and
were in possession of 298 100000 of acres
an area larger than Austria, Italy and
4 Switzerland combined. Most of the small
farmers were unable to secure decent
competency, as their farms were mort
! gagged and gradually fell into the hands Of
capitalists. The only remedy for this was
the abolition of private property in land.
