The Alliance has been and is now
non partisan, but our Democratic
friends may rest assured that the large
majority of members will vote for that
party that has taken up the Alliance
demands and inserted in its platform.
The majority of Alliancemen are Peo-
ple's party men and will vote for
Weaver and Field in spite OF ali the
catumny, slander and filth raked out
of the dead past the organs and pop
guns of Democracy can throw upon
them. Quadrennial for the past 20
ears turns up the issue of tariff reform
in contradistinction of protection as
! the issues between the Democratic and
! Republican parties. These cure all
patent nostrums have been discussed
until every body has become sick and
nauseated. IF it is the remedy for all
the ills that beset people, If tariff for
revenue or what is more, free trade, is
possible it NAV come as soon through
the Republican as the Democratic
party. but probably never will be en-
acted by either of them With the IN
crease of manufacturing enterprises In
the various brances of industry IN the
South, and the consequent demand for
labor more or less skilled, the sentiment
OF protection is gaining ground. Inc
manufacturers of cotton and iron goods
\ In Georgia end Alabama are to-day as
much IN favor of protective tarlH for
Gnelr goods as the Yankee brother IN
massachusetts, or Pennsylvanla, and
the same votes that killed the free
coinage bill will be ready to give the
Gead blow to any tariff reform measure
Ghat may come before Congress.

The ball toam will arrive home early
this morning from Columbus. and begin q
series of two games with the Cincinnati

Notwithstanding the fact that the club
lost the two games to Columbus, it argues
nothing at this stage of the season. Re-
member they hadn't had n minutes prac-
tico. while the Columbus club had played
Louisville, Toledo and picked ninea
in their own town. These men are all
cracking good ball players. with records be.

the early cr0akers are asked to simply rivet
their eyes ON the teams work for the next

their names do not appear on the passenger

An additional element of interest was

Transfers and Contractors.


Yesterday afternoon committee from
the Teamsters' Union. composed of John p.
Lepage. Charles Walters. Oliver Myers
and Philip HOffbauer, met in the Council
chamber with several street contractors.
MI. HOffbauer was chosen chairman
of the meeting. For some time
the teamsters and street laborers have
felt that they have been too poorly paid
and yesterdays meeting had for its object
better wages in the future. The prices hore-
tOfOre have been 60 per day for q man and
team, and Sl.50 day for laborers The
Teamsters aud Shovelers Union. at a re-
cent meeting, decided to demand the adj
vance OF teamsters wages TO "a. and that
OF sh0velers to Sl.10 day. The object in
calling in the contractors was to asesytain
MesSrs. Fulmer Remington, hudson and
Others responded to the aviation There
arc 525 teamsters In the union and twice
that number of snOvelers.
Mr.. Hoffbauer stated briefly the object of
the meeting. He SAID it had been agreed
by the union that one yard of gravel should
be considered load, and that the men
would work ten hours a day. Dir. Ken
ningtOn suggested that IL foreign CON-
Tractors came in and hired teams not
owned by union men at 90 day it would
mix things up badly. In such case the
chairman pledged the contractors the sup
port and cooperation OF the entire union.
Mr.. Fulmer thought S u day for team.
irrespective of its working quail
ity, would be unfair. Three fourths
of them. he said. could not
haul a yard OF gravel. MIR. Fulmer thought
that it was probable that the union, in fix
ing the prices il had. had gone 10 the other
extreme: he thought $3.50 for teams would
have been right. However. if the contract
Ors were assured of protection they would
not object to paying the increase. as it all
came out of the pockets of the property
owners. The only question was. he said,
that the bids of contractors might be so
high. by reason of the increase of wages
that the Board of Public Works would re-
fuse to award contracts. The other con-
tractors present expressed themselves in
about the same way. Various arguments
We're made. pro and con. but nothing def
mite resulted from the conference. The
teamsters and the contractors however
understand each other better. The former
will ma Ike a report to the ion, and anOth
er meeting will DO held.
