A DAMAGING CONFESSION.

To the Editor of tile Eagle.
The report of Labor Commissioner
Peck OF New York on the condition of
labor since the Mckinley bill became a
law has compelled the Democratic party
to plead guilty to the charge of being a
calamity outfit. Mr.. Peck is Democrat
and it is not our business to question the
truth of his statements. Let them settle
that among themselves. Leaving the
truth or falsity of the report out of the
question the mere fact that the Demo
Gratis are anxious to prove that it is not
true is enough to damn any party in ex-
istence. 1t shows that their hopes of
success are based solely upon their abili-
ty to make a prosperous people believe
they are in dire distress.
Think of it. A great party asking the
suffrage of laboring men, is Injured by a
report that labor is doing better under a
certain order of things than at some
other period of our history.
And the most striking feature of this
absurd business is the fact that if the re-
port proves true the INJURY to this great
party will be irreparable. Great God.
What dead give-away! If the report
is true the Republican party will be
benefited: who then is the friend of
labor: | work for wages. and may a
just God paralyze my good right arm if
ever | vote with party that is injured
in political campaign by prosperity.

SLAVES IN MOROCCO.
The Market Overstocked and Prices l.,
-Pitiful Scenes.

The Market Overstocked and Prices Low
-Pitiful Scenes.
Few people, perhaps, have any idea
of the extent to which the slave trade
fourishes in Morocco. The following
extracts from private letter just pub
hshed in England throws some light on
the subject: Il must now tell of the
caravan which arrived at Tenduf from
Timbuctoo at the end of March last. 1t
brought scarcely any merchandise, but
there were four thousand slaves, prin-
cipally young girls and boys! So great
was the influx of slaves at Marakesh
(Morocco City, that instead of holding
the market twice a week, as usual,
it was held daily, from the 25th of April
to the l4th OF May; and the prices were
comparatively low, ranging from ten to
fourteen pounds head. During the
feast of Ramadan the Kaids who come
to Marakesh in order to present gifts to
the sultan's son. who is the khalifa of
his father. agreed that the most accepta-
bic present would he some of these
young slaves from Timbuctoo. There
were forty-three kaids, and each of
them gave this young man, only eight
cen years of age, three slave girls and
two slave boys-over two hundred
young slaves in all! AS the young kha-
lifa has a bad reputation for cruelty
and other vices, it is not pleasant to
think of the fate of these young cap
tives. 1t is said that more than eight
hundred slaves were sold at this mar
ket in ten days, to merchants who had
come from Riff, Tafilat and other dis
tant places to obtain a supply of human
chattels; and besides this many were
sold privately. was myself the wit
ness OF sad scene in the market, when
three little negresses, from eight to ten
years old, who had evidently come from
a very distant part, as no one there
could speak their language, were ruth
lessly parted from each other and sold
to different owners, amid tears, pi.iful
cries and such resistance as the poor
little creatures could employ. Each
had to go off alone among a strange
people, not one of whom understood
word she said'

The Bluff City Independent of last
week. If il had been issued three years
ago would have been accepted as a regu-
lar boom edition in the interest of real
estate dealers in Harper county. It was
made up mainly OF statements Of per-
sonal experiences Of farmers in that vi
cinity during their terms of residence
there. The showing is one Of uniform
success, every one having pfospered 10 q
degree that. IN any other country, would
be considered marvellous. Tie state
ments are all from weli known and relia-
BILE citizens and are certified 10. There
is no partisan politics in the matter and
no political illusions, and yet il is one of
the strongest and best campaign docu-
nents that has been issued this year,
completely refutirg, as it does. the ca
lamlty assertion about the material ruin
that threatens the country.

VERY SMALL BUSINESS.

| Nothing could be more ridiculous OF
| contemptibly absurd than the statement
of an afternoon paper that Sedgwick
county is actuated by political consider
tions in the matter of contributing to
| the fund for making an exhibit at the
worlds fair. 1t bases its senseless asser-
| ton upon the circumstance that the last
legislature failed to make appropriation
Of sufficient sum to provide for suit
able exhibit by the state, and charges
such failure upon the Republican mem
bers of the general assembly. 1t isn't
necessary to discuss that statement;
everybody that is at all conversant with
the matter knows that the statement is
not true, but, on the contrary, that the
| Alliance house refused to pass the fair
bill. Such an attempt to create preJu-
| dice among those who may not be
familiar with the history of the last leg
islature on the worlds fair appropriation
bill is contemplate anu unworthy OF
honorable journalism.
The dilatory manner in which Sedg-
wick county has acted in the matter Of
raising its quota of the necessary funds
and also in the matter Of organizing for
the collection of the products of the
county for exhibition is not credltahle
TO the county, and is in marked contrast
with its wanted interest in such matters
Of public enterprise; but it Is an unwar-
ranted aspersion upon the community to
say that the Republicans of the county
are responsible for it. And to show that
the assertion is insincere, if the political
opponents OF the Republicans believed
there was any partisan advantage to be
gained thereby they would be only too
quick to avail themselves Of it and take
the matter in hand.
The attempt to work up partisan
prejudice in matter of this character,
one in which every citizen is equally in
terested, is deprecated by all good peo-
pie and should be discountenanced by
all, But the important matter in ques-
ton ought not to be permitted to suffer
from lack of public interest on account
of the attempted misrepresentation.

A NEW SEASIDE TRICK.

Always Presentable.


Seaside bangs" said the sign, ''so /"
"What are the bangs?" asked New
York Herald reporter, looking into a
case of fluffy looking appendages in a
store in West Twentythird street.
''When lady goes in bathing" said
the clerk, ''she naturally gets her hair
all out of shape. She hates to appear
among her friends looking like
fright, so she claps on bit of artificial
tuft in front, nicely curled-the sea-
side bang" And it is always in curl?"
1T is. The seaside bang will deceive

afford to be without them. When she
comes out of the water, and while she
is lolling round in the sand, her maid

etical enough in the water, but our
girls have learned that it is horror On

could answer in came great. lumber

was tile question suggested by the honest,
the Peck report justify the protection
| tariff
If wages are increased does not the
cost of the manufactured article increase
to the consumer?
From the most reliable sources the in
dications are that the general price Of
manufactured products has fallen appre-
Gladly, owing, as the protectionist
claims, to the beneficent operation of
home competition. The cost to the con-
sumner is lower than in 1890, but Senator
Carlisle maintains that with protection
removed the cost to the consumer would
be still lower. Gentlemen, when they
admit so much, are getting a little
''groggy." as they say in sporting circles,
and are liable to be knocked OUT
In this connection Democrats are fond
of quoting the report of the senate COM
mittee that, also. in unprotected indus
tries, wages had increased" What of
it? Protection increases production; in
creases the demand for labor, and there
fore increases wages.
Circumstances protect the so called
unprotected industries" in this that there
is no substantial forign competition.
The law discrininates to help the "pro
tected industries and the result in
wages is general rather than specific.
1t is amusing to learn that Mr.. Peck is
one of those freaks who call themselves
protection Democrats. This remark
comes from the south where the freaks"
are less numerous than i'll New York.
Bur poor Mr.. Peck is in need Of sympa-
thy. He is liar, an migrate, traitor,
an enemy of the STUFFED prophet"

even friend of Hill. Thus far have we

It Looks Funny

Nine or ten months ago John L. Sulli-
