Cards In Russia,

There is only one factory in Russia for
the manufacture of playinR-cards. II has a
monopoly of the business and belongs to
the Founding hospital. 1t is figured that
there are 10000. 600 people in Russia who
play cards. and to supply the demand this
factory puts out 5000. 600 packs OF cards an
nually. In order to make this enormous
quantity of cards only 329 women, AGED
from Is to 70 years, and sixty eight men
are employed. And they are chosen amid
the sisters, wives. and daughters of the
workmen at the factory. Both sxtsriorl y
and interlorly the factory is a model of
cleanliness. This is one of the essential
conditions of this brarch of the produc-
ton. All the employees live at the factory
and earn from 81 to SIS 4 month. They
work from six in the morning to six O'Clock
at night. and are allowed two hours a day
Tor their meals. Besides the ordinary PLAY
ing cards of different qualities the factory
produces annually 12O. 600 packs of figured
cards for the German colonies, besides
l2.OOO miniature playinR-cards as toys. The
annual profit of the factory amounts to
about $500, 600. The cardboard 10 supplied

WHERE TIL FRIENDS OF SILVER Arr


The credit of all legislation favorable
to silver in the present congress is given
to the democrats by the majority OF
eastern newspapers, though the Helena
Journal processes to find enemies to
silver interests only in the democratic
camp, The New York Press states the
situation in these words:
1.-The democracy Of congress has pro-
nouneed for free silver; and the democratic
patty in more than thirty of its state con-
ventions within the last three month"; has
declared for free silver. This record is ir-
revocnbls. It canno be kept out of sight
by meaningless declarations in the demo-
cratic platform or explained away by demo-
cratic organs. 1t proves that the free silver
sentiment in the democracy is so strong
that not even the dictates OF prudence
could suppress it in the face Of an approach
ing presidential election; it demonstrate
beyond all question that if the noe attic
party should gain control Of the federal
government the enactment of q ruinous
free silver law would 20 land i'll hand with
the repeal of the Mckinley tariff"
The Press is quite right except where
it characterizes the Stewar t bill as
ruinous. The point is that the gold
bugs of the east appreciate the fact
hat the democrats of the country are
far more friendly to the free coinage of
silver than the republicans. The only
silver bill introduced in the house was
of democratic origin and would have
passed if a few republicans had joined
the majority of silver democrats among
the representatives. The vote on the
Stewart bill, as was shown the other
day, is proof enough that the proportion
OF democratic senators favorable to free
coinage is much greater than that of
the republicans. Under these conditions
it is evident that all Montanans who
want justice to the great product Of the
state must look to the democratic party
for that end.

now CARNEGIE's MEN ARE PRO-
TECTED.

1t was very natural for Andrew Carne
gle to give fulsome praise to the high tar
iff in his book "Triumphant Democracy.
Had it not been for that product of mo
nopoly he would not have made a for
tune Of s20,OOo,OOO from his beginning
as q messenger boy, and the 5000 work
men at Homestead on Wednesday would
not have taken to the use Of dynamite and
bullets to protect their homes from star.
walton wages. An example which shows
how the system works is taken from the
item Of steel billets. A. steel billet cor
responds to pig iron in the manufacture
of steel implements, and the price of this
product has been used as a basis for
wages. The price has dropped from SIS
Il ton three years ago to SO a o now,
though the tariff as arranged under the
Mckinley bill bars all competition at the
latter figures. With the fall in price,
the wages which were on a sliding scale,
the minimum of which was e25, have
been lowered. But note the manner.
While the selling price of blllets had
dropped only So from SO, the minimum
OF the old scale, Carnegie cuts the wages
Of his mon at an average Of nearly thirty
per cent. per individual, and in some in
stances the reduction is forty per cent.
Then he proposes to keep the new scale
in existence three years, so that no matter
what may be the rise in the selling price
of his product during that time, the
workingmen will not get the benefit Of
the increase. This Is Mr.. Carnegie's
view Of the protective tariff as it applies
to the protection OF his ~workingmen.
But he carried the fight farther. His
manager, Mr.. Frisk, has announced the
determination of the Carnegie Steel
company to crush the Amalgamated AS
isolation Of steel workers and hereafter
that great labor union will not be recog-
MICE by the company. All these things
led up to the great battle that occurred
the other day, when the men were
determined to make one great struggle
against the oppression Of this %monopolis-
tic corporation. They understood per-
fectly that if Carnegie company would
cut IL scale of prices they would cut
another and that with competition
barred, the powe- Of this man under
our laws seems practically unlimited.
If this is the sort Of protection that the
tariff gives to the working man, is it not
time for a change? The workingmen
themselves begin to think so and John
McLuckey, n Of Mr.. ,Carnegie's en-
ployees, and the burgess Of Homestead
struck a key note when no said in a
recent speech:
"We have nurtured, protected and
fostered our infant industries in this
country until away past the time when
they should have been weaned. At last,
when we have been MIXED dry and
there is no more to be got from US, ou1
protected industries, now long past the
infant stage, turn around and try and
rip the very heart and life out of u.s."
That is it. If we are to have no more
bloody fights, if the w~orkingmen are te

tected the protective tariff must 90.
