he had killed his man, or perhaps half
a dozen of them. If he hadn't fought
Indians and stood up to the bad, bad
men of the far west, then his looks be-

of time to size him up, decided to ask
him how and where he got the wound

WAGES AND COST OF LIVING

The fallacy that the wages paid in
England under free trade are as high
as those paid i'm the United States
under protection has been pretty thor
oughly exploded, and the free traders
have been forced to admit that our
wage-rate is higher than that of Eng
land-that our workingmen, mechanics
and salaried men, including clerks of
all kinds, receive higher pay than those
Of that country.
"But," says the Toledo Blade, "they
have endeavored to break the force of
this admission, so damaging to the free
trade cause, by the argument that the
English worl<ingmen, under free trade,
can buy the necessaTies Of life so much
cheaper than the prices here, that the
smaller wages in England will go as
far in purchasing power as the higher
wages paid here" This is entirely
false, as reliable statistics show.
The sixth annual report Of the United
States commissioner or labor devotes
considerable space to the comparative
cost of the living Of workingmen in
the United States and in Great Britain.
NVorkingmen i'm the same industry
iron and steel manufactures-were Sc
lected as subjects for this comparison.
This shows that the average expendi-

The Toledo Blade propounds the fol
lowing conundrum: If a Democratic
house of representatives, with a ma
jority of two-thirds, can run nearly
three months at an expense of over
100000, without doing anything, how
much can it expend and how little can
it accomplish in the course of two
years? The problem is one to be stud
led out before casting your vote for a
continuation of the Democratic party
in power in the house of representa-
tiVes.

WHAT HAS MADE CHICAGO
GREAT


Upon his return recently from a
three months Eastern trip the editor of
the San Francisco Daily Report fur
nished to the Examiner some very
pertinent observations upon the indus
tries and energies of the East, of which
he regards Chicago as the focal point.
His views evidently do not accord with
establishment of noble institutions af-
fording every facility for the study of
the arts and sciences, and fostering
among the people love for learning
and refinement. He notes particularly
the remarkable educational advance
ment which the people of Chicago have
made, Notwithstanding the mighty
rush of business in which they are
continually engaged. The Auditorium
theatre is the finest in the country; the
conservatory of music is superbly
equipped and has over 300 pupils; the
four stories of the fine Art Building are
filed with rare and costly pictures and
grand collection of original and
copied statuary; there are two or more
and schools for special training in prac-
teal trades and Sciences there are
grand churches, music halls, theatres,
libraries, reading rooms and museums,

short, everything that can in any man.
ner contribute to the pleasure and edu-
cation of the people. And to crown
all great university is being built, to
which the princely endowment of
S2,60O,000 has already been given by
one man. The men who have made
Chicago great are not men who refuse
to contribute lands or money to secure
the establishment of institutions for
the moral and educational advance
ment Of the people, seeking to excuse
their narrowness and niggardliness by
alleging that they "never knew "A uni
versty town that amounted to any
thing They are not built that way
"The grand business of Chicago was
generated in brains, and the men who
built the city built no better than they
knew says Mr.. Bunker, and he is
right. An advantageous location is
but one Cf the great essentials to COM
mercial greatness. The people must be
broad-minded, liberal and progressive
united and determined in whatever
concerns the community as a whole.
"The people Of the East" says the
gentleman above quoted, "do not leave
the work of industrial development to
the merchants and then calmly await
the expansion of business; on the con-
trary, the owners Of real estate cheer
fully perform their share of the work,
and are anxious to figure in every dis
play of legitimate enterprise" When
some of our picayunish, non-progres-
sive local land holders realize the force
of this observation and evince will
ingness to do their proper part in the
great work which must be done to
build a city here, real development
will begin in earnest, and the little
clouds which the croakers picture
lowering over the horizon of the future
will rapidly roll away.

The American, in one year, eats
more than twice the amount of meat,
butter and coffee, almost four times as
much sugar, and about one-half more
flour, than the English worker. The
American eats more and better food,
yet his years supply costs him but a
trifle more than does the much smaller
years supply of the Englishman. If
the former ate no more than the latter,
it would cost him actually less!
This showing is official, and no one
attempts to dispute the accuracy of the
statistics furnished. Another free
trade falsehood is shown up, and the
argument in favor of protection is in
vincible.

The Real Columbus.

In The Magazine of American History
Hon. Arthur Harvey, president of the
Canadian institute throws a light on
the character of the great Genoese dis
coverer which is quite different from the
halo through which we are accustomed
to behold him In his defense of himself
| Columbus speaks of himself as a captain
who by divine will has conquered a new
world and put it under the dominion of
Spain, adding these significant words,
Through which Spain, which used to
be called poor, is now rich"
In that last clause is a summing up of
inhuman outrages and cruelties for
which not only Spain, but civilized man.

stands. Columbus obtained from their
maJesties of Spain his exploring outfit
solely on the strength of the idea that he
would find gold for them-gold, gold
goldl 1t was his idea and theirs from
first to last
One of the first pieces of enterprise on
the part of Columbus was to seize hun
dreds of the natives as slaves, to be sent
to Europe and sold This was done in
the beginning on the excuse that they
were cannibals Then thousands of
them were seized and put to hunting
and washing gold In the provinces
where gold was found each Indian
above fourteen was forced To bring to
the Spaniard every three months a GER
tain amount of gold. and those else
where had to give Ian arroba of cotton.
The Indians rebelled. They grew so
desperate that they fled to the noun
tains and tried to starve the Spanish con
querors out, In vain; they were pursued
and treated with unspeakable ferocity
The pious Columbus himself on one oc-
casion writes home, "ln the name of
the Holy Trinity there can be sent as
many slaves as sale can be found for in
Spain, and they tell me that 1000 can be

been leased by Mrs. Mary j. Van Doren.

edifice. 1t is understood that Mrs Van
Doren was able to buy outright three
fourths Of the land necessary for the site
but that for the corner part of it she was
compelled to pay the almost incredible
ground rent of $4,000 year clear, she
agreeing to pay the taxes.
1t is understood also that the lease is
