THKRE is an indication that the time
is arrived for footing up the accounts Of
another great struggle between en-
pioyers and employees The local strike
in the building trades seems to be rapidly
nearing an end with a failure scored by
the walking delegates, a loss of half
million dollars, one murder, several dis
turbances and much suffering to be
charged against the strikers. New York
Tribune
There is another account to balance
also-the tarif-wages account. For years
the protectionists have been promising to
give wages for tariffs. They have got their
tariffs. II. w. Oliver the millionaire
agent Of the protected steel and iron in

Kinley bill, for the protection of the
American labor, was the most salts

a partisan and reckless lot Of legislators
by a sleek, lying. bribing and sactimo-
neously corrupt and corrupting lobby
Whether Republicans intended to guar

They promised better wages and the work

wages. They have less average wages

ton companies. house servants, bricklay-
ers, carpenters, bakers longshoremen,
plasterers and many others who cannot

plain, sensible man TO imagine the feel
ings which titillate the Farmers Alliance
bosom Of Representative Watson but it is
likely that they are pleasurable. Farmers
Alliance cranks are so different from the
ordinary phenomena of the crank tribe
that is difficult TO comprehend precisely
their conception of pleasure. They
