Tho Wood-Carvers Decide to Ask for
Increased Wages.
The wood-carvers, like the box. sawyers,
are in tall grass lust now. Times have never
been so brisk with them, and it is hard to
find union men for all the work on hand.
For some time this union has been con-
templating demand for increased wages,
fixing ID to 20 per cent as the basis. 1t has
now been decided to make that demand on
October 1st next.
The employers have all been notified of
the proposed movement, and the feeling
seems to prevail that there will be little OPP
position to the demand. If there should be,
oil the union called at once to decide what
action shall be taken

FIELD OF LABOR.
The Boycott of Beer Spreading

An Emphatic Denial by the Molders That
They Are Observation-Disclosures

General Secretary Thurman # he Unite I
Brew cry Workmen received tele Il am l st
night from the Western Coast LABOR Union
of Seattle asking what breweries in Mil
waukee are non union. aud also requesting
a list of the boycotted firms in that city.
Secretary Thurman Immediately tele-
graphed back that all the breweries are
non-union, but the boycott is conferred on
Pabst, Schlitz and BlatZ beer. These brew
cries have the largest patronage Of any on
this Coast, and the attempt is being made
to drive them out altogether, if possible.
So far as this city aud many of the smaller
cities in this State are concerned their pa
tronage has been somewhat crippled-in
some places entirely driven out Now the
boycott Is reaching north, and promises to
be vigilant and effective.
A donation of 500 was made to the core
makers last night. The union now has
S73S7 on deposit In the bank.
The boycott as declared raised on bar
ber-shop opposite the Philadelphia Brewery,
the barber having agreed TO close at s o'clock
sharp.
Stringent measures were considered for
the enforcement of the boycott against Chi
nese-made cigars. One member of the Sac
ramento union was fined $40 for going into
place where Chinese cigars are sold.
Boycott circulars were ordered to be
printed against the Wenhardt brewery OF
Portland, Oregon. The heads OF the circu-
lars will be decorated with q cut of the
slungshot which the foreman used over the
heads of the workmen emp Dyed there.
An order was issued for all the members
Of the union to meet at headquarters on
Friday night and march to the masS-meet-
ing in Metropolitan Hall.
The arrangements are now all complete
for the first annual picnic of the San Fran
cisco and Oakland branches at Badgers
Park, on the 18th inst. The preparations
have been very elaborate and it Will be the
event of the year for this organization.

circulating medium, is produced in this
country in larger quantities than in any
other. Taking the statistics of 1888, it
will be found that the product of the
entire world was l60, 200 Kilograms. OF
this amount the United States produced
the greater part. This country produces
annually fifty tons Of gold, or one-third
the entire product of the world. Aus
tralla stands next on the list OF gold pro-
ducing countries, and shows an annual
output last year of forty-two tons, in
round numbers. Russia stands next in
the line with yield of thIrty-two tons,
while China is fourth with twenty-five
ons. The remaining countries where gold
sproduced TO any extent are far below
China. Africa, where the trade of gold
dust is of some Importance, produces
about six and half tons. Chill produces
1895 Kilograms, Columbia 2257 kilo-
grams, Canada 20G4, Germany 1910, Aus
tro-Hungary 1877, Mexico 1865, Venezu-
ella 1924. Other countries of comparative
insigniticance produce as follows: ia
par 226 Kilograms, Central America 33l,
Brazil in the neighborhood of 100,
Bolivia 220, England with nothing in
1885 and 1886, l60 for Italy, forty -seven
for the Argentine Republic, seventy-six
IN Sweden, and finally ten in Turkey.
One would think at first that, because
of its great value, gold would never be
allowed to drop out OF existence. 1t
would seem as though tho amount circu-
lated under various forms would remain
practically constant, or, at least, not
grow any less. But such Is Tar from be-
ing the case. Whether in the form Of
money or otherwise, gold gradually
wears away. Then there are other
causes that tend to lessen the amount of
gold in circulation. Misers who hoard
their money away always use this metal.
Ald in some cases it remains hidden al
ways. This is especially the case in In
dia, where large quantities of money is
said to have been hid away in the ground
aud lost forever. Besides the miser who
loses the money by hiding 1t. large guam
titles are lost by shipwreck, fire, etc.
This metal also disappears in the manu-
facture of various articles of jewelry and
by amalgamation. 1t is judged by these
interferences that the time may come
when all gold will disa ppear.

The day OF cheap watches has passed. The
country is flooded with them. THE GAZETTE,
abreast with the times, has resolved that every
one OF its subscribers shall have placed within
his reach a watch OF the best kind made-one
that he will be proud to wear and have comfort
in using.
Tim- was when the stop-watch, with the split
second hand, used for timing horses on race
tracks, cost many hundred dollars and could be
afforded by only few. Time was when a gold
case OF sufficient thickness to protect watch
was out of the range OF possibilities OF nearly all
men. The decrease in the cost of manufacture
of movements and the invention of three sheet

many, and almost to the price which is charged
by swindlers for the gold washed limitations
and brass counterfeits of common watches. The

facturers, are the same for use and wear as solid
gold cases and may be SO considered and treated.

IMMIGRATION.

1t may not be generally known that
the immigration TO this country is largely
composed of people from Hungary, Po-
and and Italy, who are alien TO us in
race, disposition and character, and con-
sequently difficult to asslmilate In the
body politic. Owing TO their lower scale
of living they are able to work more
cheaply and so crowd out a better class
of labor, which has a tendency to reduce
the rate of wages and the character OF
the working people. While this heavy
immigration of people of these nation
alities is going on it, certainly is source
of regret that there is falling of of
those from Germany, the United King
dom and Scandinavia. Our immigra-
lion laws should certainly be attended
TO, and certain restrictions made where
by we should have better class of peo-
pie coming among US. The present de-
mands it and the future needs it.

OKLAHolLA DEMOCRATIC.


The election in Oklahoma established
the fact that the territory is safely DEM
ocratic, no matter what the immediate
result. The compile xion of the legislature
is very much in doubt, and seems to be
evenly divided between the Democrats
and Republicans, with two or three
Alliance men holding the balance OF
power. The city and county OF Guthrie
went Republican by majority of 800,
thanks to the negro vote, aud the de-
lection of the Alliance witch was most
hurtful to the Democrats. 1t may be
that the Democratic delegate at large
was elected. At least there Is reason for
hoping so. But it is especially unfortu-
nate that a weak and futile effort at es-
