INDUSTRIAL FACTS

Some of the Benefcent Results of a
Protective Policy
In 1860 with a population of 30, ,O00,-
600 we had invested in manufacturing
enterprises only about 81 200, 900, 200,
employing 100000 laborers, who
earned about 800, 900, 900 per annum,
or less than 81 a day, says the Post
lntelllgencer. Ia 1880 our population
was oO,O0O,OOO; our manufacturing cap
ftaf had increased to $50 600, 600, 900,
employing 2,7O0,000 and the wages had
Increased 20 $3.50, 100000 yearly, or an
average of SLIP per day; $46 yearly
more than in 1860, when tariff for
revenue only was i'm existence. In
1880, after twenty years Of protective
tariff, the country had shown "A much
larger growth than had occurred dur
ing the interval of almost 100 years
from the foundation of the government
until 1860.
IN 1880 the number of farms was
4,OOO,OOO, an increae of 30 per cent
over the number in 1860, with like
Increase in their value. In 1860 we
! produced no steel rails but imported
them from Great Britain. Last year
we imported but 2O7 tons from Great
Britain.
In 1860 we produced only G40, 100000
bushels of cereals. Last year the pro-
duction was 800 100000 bushels, and
during the same period the amount of
wool grown i'm this country had in
creased from 5OOOO,OO0 pounds TO $780,
oOO,OOO, with proportionate increase
also IN the production of tobacco, cot
ton, coal and many other products.

policy has built up American manufac-
lures and given opportunities for work

secure higher wages.

eral foreign cities, reported to the Man
uiacturer that his margin of saving is
43 per cent larger In PHILADELPHIA
than in Paris and 40 per cent. larger
than in Stockholm. Probably 40 per
cent. and upward would fairly repre-
sent the additional saving possible on
the higher wages here, even with the
higher cost Of living. The English
iarm labOrer gets i'm money only about
hall as much as the American, and out
OF this he has to support himself, while
the American laborer is lodged and fed
in addition to his wages.
Under the protective policy Ameri-
can wages have steadily risen from the
beginning of the present century. The
average rate Of wages the land over in
1900 was about SG5 year, with food
and perhaps lodging, and at later
date, when men worked I'm Illinois,
Indiana and elsewhere in the West for
90 cents day, they paid for common
calico % t630 cents a yard. As late as
1872 the wages Of first-class machinist
In Lowell, Mass, was from 81 to Si.25
a day of fourteen and one-half hours,
including an hour for breakfast and
three-quarters of an hour for dinner.
Today machinist works only ten
hours and gets more than twice the
wages he did forty years ago. a barrel
of salt that cost $3.50 then costs 20
cents now. The necessities Of life are
all cheaper.

Marks the Victim for Life.
From the Seattle Press Times.l
R. a. Hysda, prospector, of foreign ex-
traction, tells a reporter of the Preas-Times
the following wierd and doubtful story of
a visit to Alaska:
'Tn the spring of 1884," he said, "three
companions and myself commenced the as
cent of the Chilkst River. think We might
have followed the course of that river for
nearly seventy-fve miles, when we sudden
ly ran across an Indian village.
"The Indians, who appeared to be very
friendly, told us that the district WAS
haunted and that strange things happened
there, and if we valued our lives to choose
some other route. As none of us believed
in anything supernatural we came to the
conclusion that the Indians had an object
in frightening us away, and that the dis
trict would pan out big.
''The next night we were probably TWEEN
ty miles from the Indian camp and had
made up our minds TO 60 back, as we saw
no indications.
"Just before our meal time walked up
the creek four or FIVE hundred yards, and
ran across an old log and brush cabin. 1t
made me feel uneasy, for close to the door
could see a number of bones scattered
around, but whether they belonged to man
or animal or both could not tell. just
around the corner of the cabin saw q rude

from the center beam down the shaft /
thought would wind it up to see what
was on the end of it. l ssw at glance
that some poor devil of prospector had
worked his last claim, and was eager to
know what he had struck.
"I walked up to the windlass, but just as
was about to take hold of it terrible
feeling came over me that something WAS
coming around the corner of the house,
and it seemed to me that it was a large,
fierce dog.
'T drew my gun and went clear around
the house, but could see nothing. Still
there seemed to be an eye watching my
movements, and, coupled with the extreme
Stiffness and loneliness, it had the effect of
making me feel very nervous.

CREMATION.

Cremation hasn't gained in popularity
very fast in this country, although several
orematories have been established, and
they are occasionally used by some who
have broken away from the earth-burial
idea. In Europe, however, the idea and the
practice of cremation are making quite
rapid progress. Especially is this the case
in Italy, where the crematories are we'll
patronized. The latest important utter
ance concerning the matter in this country
is that of the Mississippi Valley Medical
association. That society, after discussing
the matter, decides, and publishes its con-
viotions; and to this effect: That the meth
cd for disposing of the dead should be
founded on reason, and not on custom or
sentiment; that the interment of the dead
in the earth was never enforced by a stat
ute, Jewish or Christian, being merely in
cidental to both dispensations; that no
law, human or divine, requires any such
disposal of the dead as is prejudicial to
the health and comfort of the
living. The society concludes that while
it may be an open question as to the right
of the State to decide on the manner OF
| disposing of the dead (unless in exception
al cases), it is clearly the province and
duty of the State to prevent such prac
tice as will in anywise jeopardize the inter
est of the living. The southern doctors
add, finally, that in view of all the fact
| attainable, it is their conviction that Htht
| graveyard, as a constant menace to public
health, should become thing of the past
| and that incineration is the method mos
in accordance with science, sanitation
reason and religion"
| "Science. sanitation and reason" are al
right, but the southern doctors will be dis
| puted when 1t comes to religion. AND
sentiment is to be reckoned with in thil
matter quite as much perhaps as religious
belief. It looked at one time as If the ere
mationists were about to increase rapid,
in number in this country, but there hav
been few indications of such increas

SENATOR RAWLEY.

Those who heard what one of its hearers
| called the majestic speech of Senator Haw.
ley at the banquet of the New Haven
Chamber of Commerce felt anew how fl
he is to represent the State of Connecticut
in the United States senate, or anywhere
else. And when Mr.. Bromley, out of g
full heart, aad in graceful and touching
words, spoke his abounding admiration of
the mau and the speech all present felt
that merited tribute had been worthily
paid. 1t was pleasant and an impressive
incident.
Those who are advocating the re-elec-
tion of Senator Hawley have firm
foundation to stand on. They need not
disparsge other candidates. They can
well afford to give them all the credit
and all the honor properly due them. So
far as we know they wish to do go. But
it is not claimed that any candidate who
has arisen, or who may arise, has career
and a record like that of Senator Hawley
for his supporters to point to. And it is
not claimed that any candidate is his
superior in ability, experience and power.
1t cannot be justly claimed that any oandi-
date is his equal in these respects. His
character, his patriotism, his statesman
ship, his oratory and his great achieve
ments are matters of pride to every true
son and daughter of Connecticut, and it is
not surprising that Democrats as well as
Republicans are found rejoicing in them.
There is some curious and feeble talk
about the future of the Republican. party
in this State and its great need of first
class politician to represent it in the
Senate of the United States. We can re-
speotfully inform those who thus talk
that the crying need of the Republican
party In Connecticut just now is not for
politicians or their activities. 1t is now
suffering from them. It has nothing to
gain by sending even its most
mastery politician to represent it
in the Senate. But 1t would lose
much and make itself unpleasantly
notorious by depriving itself and the State
of Senator Hawley's craftsmanship, his
real political sagacity, his grand mental
equipment, his long training and his
acknowledged and conspicuous power AND
wisdom in the formation of policies and OF
legislation. The assertion, or insinuation
that any politician Connections contains
can be more useful in the Senate to the
Republican party than he has been Ii
ridiculous. Those who make 1t must be
hard up for reason why he should not bs
reelected.
Senator Hawley is an honor to his party
and his State. Both will profit by his re
election,
