Mr.. w. A. Johnson, real estate

He wants to buy some large tracts Of

The first part of the week would
not have been a very seasonable time
for military drills or other outdoor

out with very bland smile on her

We call special attention of our

Gartner, to be found on another page.
In addition to the various kinds of

His little boy, John Lyle, has been
quite sick also, but both he and his
mother are improving now.
DIR. n. A. Nicely left Wednesday
for Cookeville, and will be absent on
professional business for ten days or
two weeks. An erroneous impress
sion has become current that DIR.
Nicely was contemplating permanent
removal from McMinnville. He re-
quests us to say that there is no foun-
dalton for the rumor whatever, and
that he has had no such thought or
intention.
The regular annual meeting OF
the McMinnville Building, Loan and
Savings Association will be held at
the Courthouse on the first Monday
night in June, at o'clock, for the
purpose of electing a Board of Direc.

other business as may come before
them. All stockholders should be
present or represented by proxy.

AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN
WAGES.

A favorlte argument used by free
trade journals is that American work
men derive no substantial benefit from
high wages. Labor" they say, may
be higher here than in Europe, but 80
are prices. Therefore the purchasing
power of money is lost" Let US see II
there is any truth Ia that assertion. Mr..
Schoenhof, United States consul at
Trunstall, and Democratic free trader
himself, in a recent report TO the State
Department, said:
80 far as clothing and dry goods in
general are concerned, l find cotton
goods fully az cheap in the United States
as here. Shirtings and sheetings il any.
thing, are superior at the same price.
Articles of underwear for women are
superior in workmanship and cheaper IN
price in the United States, and of boots
and shoes the same may be said. There
is no marked difference in the value Of
ready made things. find all these ar
ticles superior in the United States. This
is true of clothing as well as collars and
cuffs and all articles"
Mr.. Schoenhof who wrote the above
wss called to Washington last winter by
Chairman Mills H. assist Parsee Moore in
preparing the tariff bill. He therefore
may be regarded as something of an au-
thority. That being so it is obvious that
American workmen do not pay more for
the necessaries OF life than people in
Eastern countries are forced 70 pay. Mr..
Schoenhof is an interesting writer. On
page 307 Of the consular report issued
last November, our free trade friends
will find him writing from Ireland and
making these statements
Wages are mostly from twenty-five
cents to 81 so per week. Only the best
men and most skillful workmen obtain
So so per week. These wages are all
that are paid in the fax and wooden
mills of Ireland. One mill that employs
$50 hands pays about 81 600 a week in
wages, a trifle over 50 so per week per
hand. This includes overseers' wages.
On the other hand let us take the fol-
lowing from a speech delivered in the
United States Senate ON February Q, 1887
by Mr.. Plat Of Connecticut
"The wage earners OF this count y
own more property than all the other
wage earners OF the world put together,
Nay, more, think / would not over
state the matter II made 1t stronger.
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1888-04-26

In the discussion preceding the vote
overriding the veto, Alderman BOWL
ing accused the Mayor of owing partic-
ular hostility to the Irish. He said he
was willing to vote for placing
any friendly nations flag on the City
Hall on occasions of national festivi-
ties.
Alderman Forster took a similar posi-
ton. He said that only the American
flag represented sovereignty in this
country, and the flying Of others was
only sentiment that made foreign born
citizens better patriots.
He is right about the sovereignty and
sentiment, but it is not clear that the
display of any foreign flag makes its ad.
mirers any better lovers of this coun.
try. The statement is illogical. Such
display is all well enough as an act OF
courtesy on proper occasions, but to q
mixed population the flags of old coun-
tries or of lost causes often awaken bit.
ter hostilities.
America struck out on her glorious
career by severing all alliances with
Europe and cutting loose from all en-.
Engagements with the controversies OF
the Old World. The Europeans who
have since come here have come for q
new and better chance. The true theory
of American citizenship puts the past
behind and makes every man cease 10
be an Irishman, Englishman, German,
Frenchman or Spaniard. Our education
in patriotism is not to be promoted by
keeping alive here the embers of old
conflicts and the race or class prejudices
of other lands, but rather by studying
our new and equal opportunities and
promoting that homogeneity which is
best symbolized by one fag.-Herald.

The wage Farmers Of Connecticut and
Rhode Island own more property than
the wages earners of the whole world
outside of the United States"
To turn to Mr.. Schoenhof again. He
declares, speaking Of Ireland-and Eng
lishmen and Scotchmen are not much
better off-that the people rarely taste
tea, coffee or meat. They drink cold
water and eat yellow meal and potatoes,

ton is everywhere witnessed in Europe.
In Germany workmen rise at four in the
morning, and many with their wives
and children, are forced TO labor every
day in the year. Their diet consists Of
black bread and beer, or a mixture call
ed coffee. Sometimes they have little
cheese. The midday meal is eaten
where they labor. This is contained in
official documents.
With wages in this country twice as
high as they are in England; thrice
what they are in Ireland, France and
Germany, and twenty and thirty times
as high as they are in India and China,
what more could sane and paternal

IL American workmen are seduced in
to the belief that the Democratic party
is their friend. they will live to sadly re
greet it, for with free trade the conven-
fences and comforts which they now
possess will disappear with the high
wages that they now obtain. II they
are sometimes put to inconvenience now

atoms, let them turn and contemplate

Prohibition Vermont,

Through the medium of our Demo-
cratic exchanges, with Vermont circu-
lation, we learn that there is a wide
spread disaffection with what they call
the G. o. p. and it follows that other
epithets are also common. The Troy
Press gloats over the proposed access
sion to the ranks of the deputy Democ-
raGy in these words:
1t would seem that. if anywhere, the
Observation-Disclosures in Vermont would
have as little cause for desertion as ex
lists in the union. But, on the contrary,
here the protests against "non-enforce.
ment' are loudest and most vigorous.
This is shown by the large gathering of
"cranksn at Middlebury in February,
when ten counties were represented by
regular delegations, and by the fact that
at that time $1,000 ready cash was rails.
ed in the hall in an hour to put state
organization in the field. Their untir-
ing energy is further shown by the State
committee ohairman'S call tor county
caucuses or conferences, rs they term
them, to be held in each county. Such
conferences have already been called as
follows: Brattleboro, Tuesday, April
"a; Bennington, Thursday, April %;
Rutland, Friday, April 81; Middlebury,
Saturday, April %; and at Burlington,
Monday, April 80. This means organi-
cation for active work. The fact is the
&. o. p. is bleeding to death from prohi-
bition hemorrhage, and some other
check to this slowly ebbing tide of its
best life blood must be provided than
local option" or high license" styp-
tic.
The Republicans see through the real
effect of this movement and no honest
member of that party will be caught by
such fimsy excuse for the formation
of third party.
