of wages, and their standard is fixed
by the cost of living. Higher wages
and fewer hours of labor for the TO-
100000 working men and women of
the United States means greater activ-
ity in all branches of business, in
creased consumption of products, bet
ter education of children happier
homes, purer politics, firmer guaran-
tees for constitutional self government.
Lower wages and more hours of labor
must be followed by stagnation, de-
preston and moral. intellectual, and
and physical determination. 1t is not
question of party supremacy, but of
self preservation. Products cheap
ened by low wages are bad. but men
cheapened by degraded competition
are worse.
Labor organizations, therefore, in
stead of being stigmatized and re-
pressed, should be favored, fOstered,
and strengthened by legislation, the
courts. the press, and by public opin-
ION. They are vast conservative
agencies in the threatening tumulJ of
modern society. Being composed of
human beings, they sometimes err.
The walking delegate and the political
demagogue might be dropped flom the
rolls with advantage.
Foolish and Intellectual remedies for
admitted evils are sometimes seriously
advocated. Indefensible wrongs die
tated by passion and revenge occasion
ally ALLEVIATE public sympathy. but
much of the beneficial legislation that
has contributed largely to an indus
trial progress and the amelioration of
social conditions is directly due to
their intervention. With the demands
formulated in their declaration of
principles for more equitable distri-
bution of the burdens and benefits of
society, for the speedy administration
of justice, for the protection of the
life and health of workmen and opera
tives, for the prohibition of child
labor, for the elevation of women
and the substitution of arbitra-
ton for strikes and lockouts all patrio-
tic and thoughtful men must sincerity
concur. They are an assurance that
reforms are to be sought by constitu-
tional methods; that changes in exist
ing institutions are to be accomplished
by the ballot; that wrongs are to be
redressed and enforced by legal tribu-
nails and not by the revolutionary and
violent prOpagandism of dynamite and
anarchy.

READER, are you opposed to taxa:
ton without Representations If you
are, please explain. how you can put:
your principles intospractice without
government ownership of railways:
telegraphs, telephones, etc.p Yo9'
know these institutions levy tax upon,
the people at will; that all attempts to
control their charges, or tax, by rail-
way commissions have proven abortive.
You know the people are not consult:
ed about their charges, or allowed any
vote in fixing rates. Are you in favor
of those who pay debts and taxes, con-
tracing themg If so how can the peo-
pie who pay all the debts of railways
and other corporations. through taxes
levied upon them, be consulted unless
their government owns and controls
these corporations? Under present
arrangements we have one class of
people contracting debts which others
must pay. This is the essence of ty-
Mercury.

Some Facts.

. To the old high tariff mossbacks, the
writer would like for them to explain
the following condition of things,
w hich the writer knows to be facts.
:aIn 1888 was in the employ of the
'Deering Binder company as salesman
and expert. After having closed up
where the said binders were sold for
the sum of $3.50. was ordered by
:the company to go to Manitoba. in the
dominion of Canada, and sell binders
'as at first supposed at the same price
OF perhaps higher, judge of my sur
prise. After having reached WinGi-
peg City, to find the same binder sell
l1ug for $3.50. Why is this my high
tariff mossback friends?
2 [ once heard Congressman Hatch of
Missouri, say that she could buy the
Oliver chilled steel pillow in Canada.
bring it here and sell it for less money
and make more on it than the home
dealer was making" I enquired into
itiand found that the farmers were
paying one dollar per inch for the
Oliver chilled steel pillow. while the
canadian farmer Was getting the same
pillow for so cents per inch.
:: The genuine frame drawer Singer
sewing machine that was selling here
for $40 was selling there for $22. so.
How is this M old brighted moss
back friends?
In 1889. the year following, was in
chihuahua, Mexico. While there
had occasion to purchase few tools.
For an Atha two and one-half pound
hammer. for which gave 20 cents, in
Kansas City. Mo-, paid 80 cents for
the same hammer. l paid for pair
of nippers IN Kansas City 80 cents,
and in Chihuahua 1 bought the same
tool for 40 cents. [ found that old
American-made tools that I could get
them from 25 to 60 per cent cheaper
than could at home.
Personal inquiry in the following,
year, in Rio DeJanero, showed the
prices range about as they did in Can
ada and Mexico.
When such things are as they are, is
there not something rotten in Den
mark?
Take a sober, unbiased view of it.
Why can foreigners buy our goods
cheaper than we can? If the Oliver
chilled pillow can be sold in Canada at
so cents per inch at a fair profit. why
cannot the same thing be done at
home?
If sewing machines and binders can
be sold for less in other nations why
cannot they be sold for less at home?
You answer by saying sswe are pro-
teeted by tariff F" Who does the
tariff protect The manufacturers
Who pays the tariff? The consumer.
Now my mossback friends does he
pay too much or not enough; or is ii
right as it stands?
If all the fair minded voters will
study this question and vote as their
Judgment dictate. they viii, with their
votes, bury the two old parties so deep
in the sea of oblivion that not a bubble
viii rise to mark their resting place.

TO THE FAIR.
JEWELS RAINMAklNG MACHINE
TO BE EXHIBITED AT THE FAIR.
Clinton B. Jewell. the Rock Islands
RainmaI1er has Added Some
Valuable improvements.

Clinton B. Jewell, the rainmaker
who has been for the past three months
in the employ of the Rock Island
road, has been in the city for few
days, says The Capital. He has been
operating along the line of the Rock
Island in the northwestern portion of
the state for some time and has album
dainty satisfied the farmers of that
region. and is now seeking other
drouthy sections to soak.
Mr.. Jewell claims to operate on a
widely different plan from the other
rainmakers. and says he has added
some new and important forces to his
laboratory. He explained how. while
at Phillipsburg, he had provided him
self with the best rockets to be had.
These he remodeled and loaded with
some of his chemicals. so arranged as
to explode with the explosion of the
rocket when at the greatest height.
After he had been operating some
time and the light f1eecy clouds began
to appear overhead, he sent up few
of these rockets and the effect was i'm
mediate and wonderful. The light
clouds thickened and blackened, and
soon they witnessed great storm,
Mr.. Jewell says that at no place where
he has operated have the elements
failed to pour fourth hountiful rains.
He is how going 10 Seward county,
where no rain has fallen fo3 10 months,
and he is confident that before he is
there many days there will be water
on the soil and joy in the hearts of the
people of that region.
Mr.. Jewell now uses an ordinary
box car in which he has his labora-
tory, and from which he sends forth
the gases and other influences into the
upper atmosphere. This car is already
on its way to Liberal, and will be used
in, this effort. But General Superin-
tendenT Allen, of the Rock Island. is
having car especially constructed
for the work, and Mr.. Jewell will
soon start on a raihmaking tour
through Iowa and Illinois, bringing
WR at the big fair in time for kansas
week" He and the Rock Island peo-
IJple say it will not be a full and COM
plete Kansas incident without a SAM
pie of genuine Kansas weather, and
Jewell says that is just what he will
give them. The sky rocket will be-
come Il permanent attachment to his
laboratory, and at Chicago he will give
itqa most thorough test.
...Ehe rainmaker says that he is the
recipient of about a bushel of letters
from the cranks of the world. They
make all sorts and kinds of PROPOSE
tions, few of them within the bounds
of reason, but the most of them such
as you would expect to emanate only
from an insane asylum. One man in
Canada urged him to hasten to the
worlds fair and bring down such a
rain every Sunday morning as would
prevent all attendance on that day,
and the lovers of the holy Sabbath
would see that he spent the remainder
of his days in luxurious ease. Jewell
seems to be wrapped up in his work
and speaks of the results of his efforts
as confidently as an angler on his way
to a brook he knew was full of hungry
trout.

A STORY with a Moral.

Deep in the forest wild tent
Arose, all patched and white;
The wild birds wondered what it meant
And screaming, fed in fright.
But soon within that tent was seen
A man of hopeful face:
A hand press somber and serene
And type laid in case.
The wild beasts passed the spot in dread,
Or paused to take look
AT that lone editorial head
Der a subscription book.
But soon paper from that press,
Changed all the forests hues;
The beasts forgot their loneliness
And beloved out the news.
And one morn when the man of fate
His locals jotted down.
He found himself within the great,
Brisk middle of a town.

SECTIONAL issues caused the civil

SECTIONAL issues caused the civil
war. Sectional issues are now agitat-
ing the American people. There is
this difference, however. in the pres
ent condition: The coinage of both
precious metals is constitutional
power of congress, and privilege Of
all the people irrespective of section,
and equally beneficial to all sections.
1t would not hurt the east, but would
UNNECESSARILY benefit all sections of
our common country, Bnt when one
section, having a corrupt controlling
power over congress. endeavors to
work hardships contrary to the express
provisions of the constitution, upon
another section, then they become the
aggressors and the oppressors. and the
opposing interests may even lead to a
breach of friendship, and even to a
conflict of arms. All patriotic Ameri-
cans should depreciat tie this condition
and labor to remove the cause.
