How much did the Arkansas Pass

Has not the Express after May 28th

Do people bestow offices vicariously,

Mr.. Nelson having been absent

explain and answer whether he will

When officials combine to boss the

The ring officials aided by Mr..

Every candidate ON the peoples

THE manufacturing statistics as re-
ported by the late census invariably
show large increase of wages over
operatives. The per cent of increase
in the number of operatives employed
is far below the per cent of increase in
the wages paid. This proves that the
wages of the country have risen very
materially in the past ten years under
the stimulus of the protective policies
of the nation.
