FACTS FOR WORKMEN.

What Five Dollars Will Buy in the United
States and in England.
Working-men are told by the prohib-
tory tariff advocates that they get bet
ter wages under our high protective
policy than do the workmen in Eu-
rope, and that the cost of living is no
greater, and in fact is less as far as the
necessaries of comfortable living are
concerned. Perhaps the working-men
have believed this, because they have
had no means at hand for testing its
truth. They may think differently
when the facts are laid before them.
A working-man in Cleveland has five
dollars to spend in necessaries for his
family. Another working-man in Lon
don has an equivalent sum. Which
mans money will go the farthest? An
examination of the price-lists of the
establishments of similar class in
London and Cleveland will answer the
question. ALI the standard brands
of Chicago meats are quoted the
same in London as here. In hams.
bacon and lard and all brands of
-four the difference is so small
that Cleveland prices and London
psices are practically the same. But
ter and cheese would come in the same
category. If there are any extra dis
counts from the price list where the
articles are packed in tin it will be on
the side of the English purchaser, as
an exporter gets rebate on tin sent
out of the country. 1t is when we get
to the grocery department that our
high protective tariff gets in its work.
The following is what the Cleveland
working-man can buy with his five
dollars at one of our first-class stores.
The prices quoted are taken from a
list issued monthly by one of our
largest retail merchants, and we have
not the least doubt in saying that his
profits are as small as it is possible to
do business on:

use. In the political atmosphere OF
the capital the President was for long
time a phenomenon, a puzzle to those
accustomed to it's conditions. The
politicians of the country, accustomed
to perverted craftsmanship, perverted
methods, perverted policies, those who
were trained for a generation to con-
slider public men and politics as game
and gamesters, did not at first make
out this President of ours. The Sem
ate attempted to crowd him. The
chariot of the American House of Lords
drove against him and was ditched.
This man treats us, said the Senators,
as if we were the Common Council of
Buffalo. In the midst of this confusion
common sense said you are all looking
behind, below, around, anywhere
but at the simple nature of things.
This President, who seems to you
unscrutable in his ways and
strange in his methods, so rare
in this life of yours, is simply an
honest man, an honest man with a
great brain, intrepid heart and tireless

lutte fearlessness and conscious power,
who stands for the right with the
firmness of the rock of ages itself.
Known and appreciated of all men, he
is hated and reviled with bitterness
of partisan malignity by the hosts of
error, and he is still loved for the enc
mics he has made and is making. In
private life he is plain American citi-
zen, of simple manners and of singular
gentleness and kindness of heart. He
has an embracing sympathy for dis
tress which can feel for the suffering
of a people, or, as I know, can take
from pelting storm to the shelter of
his carriage ragged, frightened child
from the street.
Sc Standing out against the horizon
of the history of the age one of the
noblest figures in the life of the Re-
public will be that of Grover Cleve-
land. It will be written of him that
he was an unselfish American states
man, and that he served the people.

SHERBRooKE, Can. Oct There was
another collision between the Italians
and soldiers at HalPs Stream bridge ear
ly yesterday morning. Three of the
Italians were badly wounded and one Of
the soldiers was seriously cut by stone.
Five companies Of the Fifty Eighth Regi-
ment of Highlanders, under Captain
Kelly, were on duty. At a. m. the alarm
was given that $50 rioters were again at
work on the trestle. Companies were
quickly formed and orders were given to
load with ball. Captain Kelly command
ed the Italians to leave the neighborhood
and was answered with yells and shower
of missiles. He was struck by stone
and ordered company No. 1 to fire into
the rioters. The volley was given and a
shower of stones, mingled with revolver
shots, was returned. The whole command
then charged the Italians with fixed
bayonets. The rioter fed, leaving three
of their number on the ground. They
were cared for by the surgeon and placed
under arrest. None were seriously shot.

ScaIpers Scalped.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The hundred and odd
railway ticket scalpers in this city have
been yictimized to the amount of about
$1,000. A clever swindler made the
rounds of the brokers' offices. and at each
one disposed of from two to five tickets
from New Orleans to New York via Chi
cage. from which the coupons from New
Orleans to Chicago had been detached.
In each case the confidence man stated he
had brought his family thus far and lad
decided not to continue his journey to
New York. The tickets were discovered
to be clever forgeries, but the swindler
had slipped.

runs the Batavia & Geneva accommo-
dation receives $S7.l0. And the Chica-
go d Northwestern pays for like runs
S97.2O, the distance being two miles
greater on the Chicago, Burlington &

The reason We ask more pay for the

for the extra work done, OH account Of

"NasaI Voices, Caiarrh and False
Teeth"


A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang. and yet il is fact cauSel by our
stimulating atmosphere, and the uni
versal presepce of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth?
That is more of q poser to the Eng
lish. 1t is quite impossible tn account
for il except on the theory of deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
in eating and by want of regular exer-
else.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and cOnsump-
ton, which are promoted by mal-nutrl-
ton induced by deranged stomach ac-
ton. The condition is a modern one,
one unknown to our ancestors who pre-
vented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular

ally and fatally prevail among our peo-
pie.
