The Number OF Electoral Votes ControTea

The interview of Col. Joe Hickey,
In the Cincinnati Enquirer. relating to
the land loan bill introduced by Sena-

left some things unsaid and I should
like to supplement his remarks by some
of mine
Col Hickey said that the candidate of
the agriculturists could be elected, but
he gave no figures to prove his asser-
ton. That statement OF his is proven
from the official records Of the popula-
ton when properly analyzed.
Unfortunately, Gen. Walker, in TAX
ing the census of 1880, did not seem to
consider that anyone would ever desire
to know how many persons of voting
age, engaged in any particular pursuit,
resided in any Of the states, 50 his
blundering classifcations of employ
ments give ''ages from 10 to 16, !" from
16 to go" and lover 60" To arrive at
the number of males of voting age in
any class, it is necessary to add those.

ON THE OTHER FOOT,
Labor Hires Capital, Instead Of Capita
Hiring Labor.

Labor Hires Capital, Instead Of Capital
Hiring Labor.
We often hear the remark made that
this or that capitalist with his capital
employed so many men. We fail to
see it in that light. A shoe manufact-
urer gives a shoemaker so many pounds
OF leather to make dozen pairs of
boots. The leather in its raw state we
viii say is worth sixteen dollars. By
the time the shoemaker has the boots
made up the leather In that form is
worth twenty-five dollars. All the time
that this changing process has been
going on, and the value of the leather
increasing. the title to the leather has
remained in the capitalist who owned
the leather. There IS no law whereby
the shoemaker can dispose of his share
in the boots without committing a
