LAB0R'S VOICE.

AIR-" Nearing ofth Green"
o work men dear. and do you hear
The roar of I.abor's gun
II means "A Democratic year,
And the fight has just begun.
They fooled us great In eighty eight
with the tree-trade hugaboo,
when they talked and wrote for the Labor vote
But they can't In ninety-two.
met with Andy Carnegie,
And he took me by the hand,
And he said. "Come here. my honest friend.
And tell me how you stand"
stand against protection. sir;
And this Is what mean:
l lost my vote four years ago
This time I'm not so green.
We want no Force bill on our plate.
For danger i'm IL turks.
We've had the shotgun policy,
And know lust how IL works.
We want no high protection
'Tis a fizzle and snare
That makes the poor man poorer
And protects the millionaire.
We want no fulsome promises,
No shirts of crimson hue,
We want no chestnut arguments
In eighteen ninety-two
We want more Of humbug.
For we've had enough Of that;
We want no human iceberg.
Aud we want no grandpa's hat.
I've told you what we don't want,
Now I'll tell you what we do:
We want an honest tariff,
And an honest revenue.
We want an honest ballot.
And We want an honest count.
We want for honest labor
But an honest just amount.
We want a civil-service law
To so change things about
That we may keep the good men in
And ''turn the rascals out"
And for such honest government
our Uncle Sam employs
Such men Grover Cleveland
And his mate from Illinois.

The tide of public opinion is un-
mistakably turning strongly in
favor of keeping the Worlds Falr
opened on Sunday, provided a
" silent" Fair be assured. The
Exposition authorities have never
bad any idea of keeping the machi-
merry running OH Sunday and every
thing going at full boom as on week
days, and since they have so de-
clared themselves, the demands for
Sunday closing have diminished
greatly in number. Not a few who
had petitioned for a closed FAIR,
have changed their minds and
revoked their request and have
asked that the gates be opened.

WAGES.
Some Truths OF History and Political
Economy.
written for tho Argus.

June -, 1892.
Wages in the West have always
been higher than in tho East. The
newer section OF our country still
offer more money for days work
than the older states do. The gold
excitement of lS49 made California
the first far off western state. The
region was new, labor was allured
by golden prospects, and fortune
beckoned to those who had some
means. BY and by the same uni
versal hope for betterment of condi-
ton grasped the advantages for
making money afforded by mining
and stock raising in the distant
territories, and California now looks
complacently on sister states clus-
tered around her.
Wages have always been better in
California than in Connecticut or
the Carolinas. OF late years wages
have decreased gradually as popu-
lation has increased. Trans-couti-
mental lines of railroad forward
labor in abundance and make it
much cheaper than in the days of
the oX-team train across the dusty
plains. Where one used to enter
this land of promise to embrace
opportunities TO make money there
seems nowadays rush like the
settlement of Oklahoma. Ranch
hands still get from S25 to $50 "A
month and board the year round
That rate is about $40 month
more than farm hands realize in
the eastern states when working by
the year. Chinese competition cut
down heavily for while on wages,
but now the rascals hold out for
wages alice samee" white man,
and average nearly the same. They
reduce the wages yet, Of course, but
more through the increased supply
of laborcrs than through lower rates
of competing.
The western states are an out
growth Of the eastern and in
origin and development .he New
World is an outgrowth Of the Old
Egypt, China, and India-oldcst
and dcnscst populated nations-pay
least wages Europe, later in civil
ization, pays better and America,
last settled, pays best of all.
Civilization, with its convemiences
Of transportation and travel, tends
to equalize wages all round the
globe. Wages, like water, find a
common level. The inlets Of indus
trial rivalry which bring about
equality of wages, are immigration
and commerce. The farm hand in
the east who is paid $3.50 and
board can afford to pay 800 for
railroad fare and expenses OF travel
to the Pacific coast and work here
for $500 or $500 a year clear. Aud
so it is with the crowded toilcrs OF
Europe and the iostling drudgcs Of
Asia. They come, and arc coming,
swarmin2 here, more and more
every year. Their room is better
TO the American laborer than their
company, for an over-supply Of
laborers means an invcrsely proper
tomato sbrinkagc IN wages. Many
hands and not much TO do is the
law Of low wages. Few hands and
much to do is the law OF high
wages.

SOME DEDUCTIONS.

The foregoing are truths in his
tory and political economy. Now
let Us make few deductions.
]. A now country, not over.rnn
with population, where there is
present activity Of development,
pays labor more literally than
countries where d" walled cities" lie
in ruins, or countries where aristo-
cracy lords it over the common
wealth. This one fact, corrobora-
tive Of the law Of supply and de-
mand, is the main indisputablc fact
that accounts for higher wages in
America than in Europe.
2. Legislation may effect wages.
Exclusion Of foreign labor would
increase wages Exclusion OF for
eign labor products would increase
the price Of manufactured articles.
Exclusion of labor. products bcne-
fits employer relatively most, en-
ploye last.
Exclusion Of foreign labor benefits
emp!Oye most, no doubt. Begisla-
tion has elaborated regular
" American System " in tho inter
ests Of capital, but has not been
largely exclusive in the interests Of

RETALIATION ON TOLLS.
The Canal EmbrogIio From a
Canadian Standpoint.

The Canal EmbrogIio From a
Canadian Standpoint.
MONTREAL, July 2S.- Regarding the
retaliation bill and the canal tolls, The
Gazette, local government organ. in
an evidently inspired article, editorially
says:
We must be prepared to be done by
as we do, and it is not at all certain that
the Americans have gone further as yet
in their legislation than to apply to
traffic through the Welland canal. All
vessels, whether American or British,
carrying cargo through the Sault st.
Marie canal to Canadian port will be
required to pay toll. but all vessels.
whether American or British, carrying
cargo through the tSault Ste. Mariesto
an American port will he exempt from
toll. There is an equality of treatment
in the opinion of congress in the sense
the Canadian government has inter-
preted Article 81, and it is not an easy
matter to gainsay the contention.
KINGSTON, Ont, July 29.-The state
ment comes from good authority in the
cabinet that the Canadian government
will not retaliate nor change the pres
ent orders of the council regarding the
rebates on grain for Europe, but will
refer the matter to the British govern
ment, charging that the United States
is violating treaty. This will result
in arbitration, with damages against
whichever government is in the wrong.
This will decide whether the Canadian
government has been discriminating in
its desire to secure the traffic for the
st. Lawrence route.

A MONOMETRIC QUEEN.
That Is, Victoria Has Single
Standard to Measure Men.


Standard to Measure Men.
Pail Mall Budget.
Our fellow citizens may be surprised
to hear that Queen Victoria is mono
metric" woman. They will wonder
what this oddly named quality is. Prof.
Karl Vogt will enlighten them. In a
memoir of his lately deceased colleague.
DIR. August Wilhelm Hoffman, which he
has contributed to Swiss paper, he di-
vldeS the sex into "polymetric and
monometric ladies'" The queen of Eng
land, says he, is 'eine monOmetriSche
Dame" A woman of this species
always selects one man whom she con-
StituteS her measure or ideal of all other
men of the same Office, social class or
profession. "For the Queen of Eng
land says the old republican philoso-
pher, "there existed only one perfect
husband, the Prince Consort: only one
cOnsummate flower of craftsmanship,
Lord Disraeli Beaconsfeld, and only
one ideally complete natural scientist,
August Wilhelm Hoffman,
The loyal Englishman will ask what
the queen had TO do with the late DIR.
Hoffman. When she made her Rhine
tour with Prince Albert, after their
marriage. she expressed an eager desire
to see the rooms in which her husband
had lived during his student days at
Bonn. They were inhabited at the time
by DR.. Hoffman, and the queen found
the then privatdoZent at the university
busy at chemical experiment. The
scientist, as Prof. VOgt punnlngly says,
Twas Hoffman (courtierly NAM i'll nat
ure as well as in surname" The young
queen was charmed with his talk, con-
there
chemical researcher in the world. and
this was the reason why he was called
in 1913 to the Royal College of Chemis-
try i'll London.

SPECULATIVE DRIFT.
Strong Undertone Apparent in th,
Dealings.

Strong Undertone Apparent in the
Dealings.
NEW YORK, July 29.-Bradstreet's re-
view Of the stock market says: AL
though the excessively high tempera-
ture would have justified complete
speculative stagnation, the market this
week has shown considerable interest,
with fair share of activity. The feat
ure of the movement has. it's true, been
the industrial stocks, and the manipula-
ton of the leading members of this
group. which have generally attained
higher quotations, has been of an I'M
miStakable character.
The speculative community has, how
ever, welcomed the movement In cues
ton as decided change from the I'M
profitable stagnatiOn that had hitherto
prevailed i'll Wall street. At the same
time it is noticeable that sentiment in
regard to railroad securities has gone
over TO the bull side, and so far as the
railroad share. list participated in the
increased activity, its tendency also has
mainly in the direction of higher level
of values.
European interests have continued in
different to the condition Of affairs here,
and. while no pressure to sell our Sc
CuTltieS iidS appeared from U0du point,
there was marked absence of buying
for London account. Some slight i'm
provement in public participation has
been noticed, although, so far as this
had any effect upon the market. it was
mainly confined to the industrial list.
Leading operators, it would seem, still
hesitate to take active part in the mar
ket, cause of the hesitation being found
in the uncertainty regarding the fate of
the anti-option bill in congress and
with somewhat conflicting adviceS from
the West regarding the weather and the
crops.
The condition of corn was to some
extent the chief factor of interest. The
receipt of accounts indicating that
hot weather and drouth had lowered
the average throughout the corn belt
was not without effect, although the
later adviceS indicating that abundant
rains had restored the favorable condi-
ton modified the earlier impressions.
The strength of exchange of gold ship
! ments furnished another cause for spec
| ulative hesitation. Notwithstanding
these drawbacks, however. the general
market has exhibited an exceedingly
strong undertone, and. while such adj
vances as were recorded may he
ascribed in part to the sympathy with
the rise in the industrials, the impress
sion remaihS that any movement in
railroad shares would assume bullisl
character.
