Wages and Living Forty Years Ago.

The Springfield Republican pub
fishes a portion Of the address OF
James Bartlett, an old citizen of De-
troit, at the semi-centennial OF Mlchl-
gan. Mr.. Bartlett is an intelligent
workingman and no rhapsodist. He
had long been machinist in Mas
sachusetts when young, and spoke OF
things within his own knowledge.
His own recollection went back forty
five years, for he first began IN 1872,
in machine shop employing about
ffty men on cotton machinery for
Lowell. He said:
''The wages Of machinist in this
shop were 81 to S125 day; one ma
bob of pattern maker received the
sum Of S1.5O. They went to work at
5 o'clock in the morning and worked
until 7:3O at night, with an hour for
breakfast and three-q quarters for din
ner. It was several years before we
obtained eleven hours day. 1t has
now been ten hours day for twenty
five wears or more, and we grumble at
that, though we may get more than
twice the wages we did forty years
ago; and we are hoping to get the
same or higher pay for working eight
hours. know the condition OF the
machinist is better than when | first
joined the guild. He has better pay,
better houses, better education, better
living; and I hope he will keep ON i'm
proving for the next fifty years.
Large machine shops were started be-
fore 1886. One in Lowell employed
over 1000 men on cotton machinery.
Now the country is dotted with them.
For my part, don't want any more
of the good old times. The present
time is the best we have ever had,
though I hope not the best we shall
ever see. In fifty years we have re-
duced our hours of labor from four
teen hours day, our wages are dou-
bled, and the necessaries of life are
much cheaper "a barrel of salt, which
cost $3.50 years ago, has been sold IN
Michigan for Is cents.) The great
curse of drunkenness is very much
diminished. We live in better hous-
es, better warmed and lighted, and we
are better clothed; high school edu-
cation is in the reach of every child;
books are free to all; the poorest lab
orer who meets with an accident IN
our streets will receive surgical aid
that no king could purchase fifty
years ago. Our great railroads dis
tribute the fruits of labor so that fam
ines are impossible. Beef killed on
the prairie is sent all over the country
and supplies the market Of Europe
Fish from the salt seas and from oul
great lakes are fresh all over the con:
tinent, and tropical fruits are peddled
round all our streets. .'-Scaentyte

Death In The Mines.
Thomas Easterling Crushed By
Falling Slate!

Many years ago Thomas Easterllng
moved to Jackson, and was engaged
in work about the furnaces and mines
for time. He was firm, brave man,
and the Republicans elected him
Marshal Of jackson. After serving
one term he retired from office, and
went into other business. He married
the widow Of the late George w.
johnson, and few years ago removed
to Waverly, where he had resided ever
since, until few days before his
death. His widow and one step-chlld
still reside in Waverly. He has
two sons living with their uncle Ben
iamin, at Sand Run.
Thomas came to Jackson only
few DAYS ago, and secured work un-
der his old friend George J. Longber-
Ger. in the mines Of ]. Il. Price,
couple of miles above town. lie was
engaged in driving entry. A new
opening has been made on the east
side of the hill, and an entry was be-
inc driven through to run the coal
out ON the Railroad. Easterling was
shooting the slate in the mine, and
2 had been frequently cautioned by the
Mine Boss not to remove any or
number Of props that supported the
i. slate. One large piece of slate was
cracked and looked dangerous, but
o had prop supporting it, just how
or why Easterling knocked this proE
y out cannot be known to certainty
. but he knocked it out, when the grea
piece of slate fell, catching his head
n and breaking his neck. The remain
; were removed to the residence OF hob
- - ert Carmichael, where Rev. G. E. Ted
e ford conducted a funeral service, ol
h Friday. The remains were brough
\ to jackson, and were met by gu
" SQUAD of Francis Smith Post q. A. II
- and escorted to the cemetery, whe1
;, the usual military salute was fired oN
,e er the grave.
40 Thomas Easterling was brave 80
a. dier in the 91st Ohio Infantry, an
,;s we have testimony to this effect fro
70 men who faced death with him. n

prospering in his new home, and

These figures are England's shame
and Ireland's bitter woe. A fertile
country, having climate which It's
people love, and an unusual supply OF
Natures resources has lost nearly
4,OOC,0 900 in population or about one
half it's people by famine and emlgra-
ton in the last fifty years.
The number Of Irish Americans born
in Ireland is over fifty per cent OF the
total population in the old country
and Irish born parents and children OF
the first generation in this country
exceed the total population OF Ire
land" Boston Com. Bulletin.
According to the theory advanced
by the Democratic party, the present
condition of Ireland is the very best
that could be conceived for the Irish
people. The Democratic theory is
thata tariff for protection takes money
away from the poorer class Of people
and puts it into the pockets Of the
rich. But here is a country capable
with right conditions-of wonderful
growth and great social happiness, in
which the realty is held by a class OF
capitalists, and handed down from one
generation of capitalists to another,
while the loyal natives must either
starve or come to America, aOhere aoe
haze protection! The Democratic
partv would introduce, in this country,
the method which would place Amer
ican workmen in the same condition.

The Fine Art Craze
Smathers AS An Involuntary Art
Critic.

There is in the human heart and
mind a commendable ambition to get
up, into higher walks and higher
aims. We always feel that there are
yet still greater things in store for
us than have yet been developed. The
march of enlightenment, of refine
ment. is upward. and onward. These
things knew Smathers, and he was
not surprised, he was only pleased,
when he came in late to supper and
found the good lady Of the house
calmly tracing the glaring colors OF
dandelion blossom on an old mustard
Jug. Art was being developed IN his
household; he was pleased.
It was Saturday night, and Smath-
ers. being religiously inclined, retired
early, and left the good wife at her
painting. What charming dreams OF
art and beauty danced through h his
fancies during the whole OF that
night! Bright and early Smathers
arose. Seizing the iron poker for the
purpose of stirring up the embers, he
discovered that a gaudy vine with
glaring ''morning-glories" had been
traced thereon. There was a.smell OF
tnrpentine as he neared the coal-scut-
tie. and he beheld the shovel gllsten-
, ing like polished glass, while from the
!; center peeped large rose; still he re-
ioiced at the tone Of artistic taste
? manifest everywhere.
At breakfast he drank from a cul
p wreathed with laurel-blossoms, and
|, saucer decked with ivy; yet that ar
:. tistic taste continued to please. Wher
the time came for donning his boots
thew were presented to him, hlghl,
u polished, but with huge bunch o
S dog-fennel-blossoms adoring eacl
foot! The now thoroughly establishe
J. art critic began to be somewhat shak
r. on the question Of ornamentatlon, bu
: # might ruin the ambition OF an al
tistic mind. The best thing for tn
l. present would be te encourage tn
studious wife. Acting upon this sus
3. gestion, Smathers calmly put on h
Y. overcoat and started to church. Thel
was goodly turnout; the house wi
comfortable; the music was good; tt
minister was eloquent; but Smathe
could not get interested in that Sc
vice. He was annoyed and displeas'
by the incessant tittering OF son
n young ladies in the rear OF him, eve
. time the congregation was called
stand up. It proved a miserable Sc
vice to him. He returned home sa
hearted and discouraged. Mechanics
ly removing his overcoat be sudden
made discovery which complete
paralyzed him. He then remember
how, after putting on his overcoat,
: sat down for few moments in ne
ly-painted chair, which the good W
assured him was perfectly Or.
This was the first specimen OF
''transfer" picture he had seen. The
glaring from the tail Of his overco
was the gold-tinted face of hi
sunfomer, which had been lifted fr
. the chair.
This had wonderfully cooling
feet on Smathers' artistic taste, E
4 he has since been vainly trying to
q cure his wife a situation as decora
in wagon-shop.

What The Democratic Idea Has
Done For Ireland

Held the Passenger,

On Monday evening, few minutes be-
fore seven, the green engineer, running q
freight from Streator to Chicago, found the
rails wet on the hill, for II was raining, and
his train, which was long one, became un-
manageable, and started dewn the steep IN
cline at terrific rate Of speed. The en-.
g,neer whistled down brakes, but with every
brake on the train screwed down hard, the
terrible rate was still maintained, and even
increased. As last resort he reversed his
engine, and the shock, which was fearful,
threw his fireman into the tender and broke
both connecting rods of the driving wheels.
The speed was slackened, however, and the
trainmen managed to stop the laundering
string Of cars just as the engine reached the
depot. The train was so situated as to block
the main track and the entrance to the side
track, and as it could not be moved, three
freights and the down passenger were soon
stalled and remained so until ten o'clock,
whom the engine was repaired. Most of the
passengers were disguised with the delay
and went to the hotels.

days ago, and left behind him the impression
that he had gone to visit his sister, who re
sides south of that place. He was about 90
years old and was married. How he came
to his death, unless through drunkenness, is
not known.

Down freight No, 81, of the c., B. & O.,
went through an open switch at Madison St..
crossing on Thursday evening, and running
in on the side track back of the depot, struck
and demolished three freight cars which
were standing on the track. One OF the cars
was pushed to the Main street crossing and
the trucks being knocked from under il
stood across the track, obstructing It 50 as to
make the passage Of trains an impossibility
The train SO obstruoted the tracks as to
block them for nearly six hours, and the
evening passenger was consequently rem
dered useless to passengers, who took to the
hotets. The switch had been left open by 3
brakeman on No. so, who, after assisting in
switching, had forgotten to close it.
