The messenger of this committee,
whose pay is $1,440 a year, acts as
stenographer and typewriter and
does all the work.
Senator Palmer, the Democratic
veteran of Illinois, having no son
available, appointed his daughter
clerk to the Committee on Pensions,
just to keep it in the family.
A 12-YEAR-oLD BOY APPOINTED.
Senator Colquitt of Georgia is
chairman of the Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads. He has
only been in the Senate since 1888.
His eldest son was but a babe when
his father was elected, but has grown
to be a successful candidate for office.
Master w. T. Colquitt, son of Sena-
tor Colquitt, a lad of 12-years, holds
the position of messenger to the Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post roads
at a salary of 81 ,440 per annum. A
political atmosphere develops Won
derful precocity.
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky

senatorial years. The new regime
gave to Senator Blackburn the chair
manship of the committee on Rules.
Mr.. Joseph Blackburn, Jr., bis son,

THE OLD PARTIES ARRAIGNED.

Silver, which has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history, has been
demonetized to add to the purchasing
power of gold by decreasing the value Of
all forms Of property, as well as human
labor, and the supply Of currency is pur-
pOsely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprises and ensIave industry. A
vast conspiracy against mankind has
been organized on two continents and is
rapidly taking possession of the world.
If not met and overthrOwn at once it
fOrebodes terrible social commissions, the
destruction of civilization, or the estab-
ishment of an absolute despotism.
We have witnessed for more than a
century the struggles Of the two great
political parties for power and plumber,
while grievous wrongs have been in
ficted upon the suffering people. We
charge that the controlling influences
dominating both these parties have per-
mitted the exising dreadful conditions to
develop without serious effort to prevent
or restrain them. Neither do they now
promise us any substantial reform. They
have agreed together to ignore in the
coming campaign every issue but one.
They propose to drown the outcries Of
plundered people with the uproar of a
sham battle over the trriff, so that CAPT.
talists, corporations, national banks,
rings, trusts, watered stock, the demone-
tization Of silver and the expressions Of
the usurers may all be lost sight Of
They propose to sacrifice our homes,
wives and children on the altar Of Mann
mon to destroy the multitude in order
to secure corruption funds from the mill
ionaires.
Assembled on the anniversary of the
birthday of the nation, and filled with
the spirit Of the grand generation who
established our independence, we seek to
restore the government Of the republic
to the hands Of ''the plain people" with
which class it originated.

THE WAR IS OVER.

We assert our purposes to be Identical
with the purposes of the national con-
stitution - ''To form a more perfect
union, establishdj justice, insure domes-
tic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings Of liberty for
ourselves and our posterity." We de-
clare that this republic can only endure
as a free government while built upon
the love Of the whole people for each
other and for the nation that it cannot
be pinned together by bayonets that the
civil war is over, and that every passion
and resentment which grew out of it
must die with it, and that we must be in
fact, as we are in name, one united
brotherhood of freemen.
Our country finds itself confronted by
conditions for which there is no prece-
dent IN the history Of the world-our
annual agricultural productions amount
to billions of dollars in value, which
must within few weeks or months be
exchanged for billions of dollars Of COM
mOdltles consumed in their production
the existing currency supply is wholly
inadequate to make this exchange the
results are falling prices, the formation
OF combines and rings and the impOv-
erishment of the producing classes. We
pledge ourselves that if given power we
will labor to correct these evils by wise
and reasonable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of govern
ment-in other words, of the people
should be expanded Gas in the case
the postal service) as rapidly and
as far as the good sense Of an intelligent
people and the teachings of experience
shall justify, to the end that oppression,
injustice and poverty shall eventually
cease in the land.

THREEFOLD DECLARATION.

Whlle our sympatIes as a party of re-
form are naturally upon the side of
every proposition which will tend to
make men intelligent, virtuous and tenn
perate, we nevertheless regard these
questions, important as they are, as
secondary to the great issues now pres
sing for solution, and upon which not
only our individual prosperity but the
very existence of free institutions de-
pend and we ask all men to first help
us to determine whether we are to have
a republic to administer before we differ
as to the conditions upon which it is to
be administered, believing that the
forces of reform this day organized will
never cease TO move forward until every
wrong is remedied and equal rights and
equal privileges securely established for
a. the men and women of the country
We declare, therefore
l. That the union of the labor forces
of the United States this day consum-
mated, shall be permanent and per-
petual. May its spirit enter into all
hearts for the salvation Of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
2. Wealth belongs to him who creates
it. and every dollar taken from industry
without an equivalent is robbery. eff any
will not work, neither shall he eat"
The interests of rural and civic labor are
the same their enemies are identical.
3. We believe that the time has come
when the railroad corporations will
either own the people or the people must
own them, and should the government
enter upon the work of owning and
managing any or all railroads we should
favor an amendment to the constitution
by which all persons engaged in the
government service shall be placed un-
der a civil service regulation of the most
rigid character, SO as to prevent the in
crease of the power Of national admin
istration by the use of such additional
government employees.

''This industry offers wide field for the
South. The export trade OF this country
in canned goods has never been pushed
as it should have. and while it has, grown
during the last few years. it is not nearly
so great as it might be made by due en-
terprise. With the announcement of d.
rect trade between southern and foreign
ports this industry should receive large
share of attention. No section of the
country is better adapted forgrowing the
vegetables and fruits needed for canning
than the Southern States, and the rapid
growth of the canneries there during the
past six months attests to the success of
their operation"

The Canning Industry.

Omy-Ot saving more OF the things pro-
duced which are now allowed to go to
waste. We referred briefly to the can
ming industry as a safeguard and urged
our people to give it some thought and
attention. The current issue of the Man
ufacturers' Record has chapter on the
subject which is especially timely and
will doubtless be of interest to our read
ers. That journal says:
'The canning industry of this country
has grown during the past fifty years
from nothing to its present important
position. In every State there are now
one or more well equipped factories, and
there is scarcely a product of land or sea
which is not preserved in cans.
"The economic value of this industry
can hardly be estimated. While railroads
and refrigerator cars have served to ham
die foods in large quantities from the
more remote points Of production to the
consumers, canning does even more, asst
enables the products Of the summer sea.
son to be kept for winter use and to be
transported long distances without the
expensive equipment necessary for refrig-
Grafton. Tomatoes canned in Georgia
or salmon canned in Alaska may beeaten
in Africa. Further than this, canning,
which can be done for an exceedingly
small cost by means of the improved
machinery in use places vegetables be-
fore the poorer people at a price which
they can easily afford to pay, and in this
serves to improve their diet. Again, the
stimulation given to the growth of GER
tain agricultural products isappreciable,
and the encouragement to needful di-
versifcation OF crops is gratifying. Els
pecialy is this so in the South, where
new canneries are being rapidly estab-
lished.
1.-The equipment necessary for acannery
is neither complicated nor expensive, and
the actual work of canning does not re-
quire any unusual degree of expert
knowledge. Taking tomatoes as an in
stance, when they are brought into the
Establishment they are placed in wire
scalding basket and dipped for few
moments in the scalding kettle contain
ing boiling water. After this they are
taken to the peeling table, where the OPP
eratives strip the skin off and pile the
tomatoes on a tray. This is taken to
the packing table, and here they are
placed in cans and the cover laid on.
The cans then go to the "capper," who
soldiers the top on leaving a small hole
in it, Then they go into an iron basket
and are lowered into an iron kettle. In
this the contents OF the can are heated
and all air expelled. When this has heen
done they are removed and passed to the
clipper" who quickly seals the small
opening with drop OF solder. From
him they go into another iron basketand
are lowered into kettle, where they are
'processed" or cooked for twenty-five
minutes, and upon being removed from
this are allowed to cool, Tabled and
packed in boxes for the market. With
other vegetables or fruits the process is
varied to suit the needs of the material
being worked on, but with none OF them
is it more intricate or difficult.

needed to set the kettles and construct
chimney, and a building twenty by thirty
feet would accommodate all. This equip
ment, apart from bricks or building, can
be secured for $1OO.
"The following list shows themachinery
necessary for larger-sized plants and it's
cost.
Canning machinery for 5000 cans, g.
pound, Or 4 10000 cans, 2-pOund:
zone process kettle, one exhaust kettle.
one scalding kettle, two fre-pots, one set
furnace doors and CRATE bar, two cap
ping machines. two Gaping coppers, two
tipping coppers, two scalding baskets,
two process cages, two exhaust cages,
crane fixtures and necessary small tools.
1t would require 5000 brick to set the
kettles and a building twenty by forty
feet to accommodate the appliances.
Cost $3.50, not including bricks or build
ing.
"Canning machinery for 1000 cans,
3-pound, or 5000 cans, 2-pound:
zone process kettle, one exhaust ket-
tie, one scalding kettle, one cooling tub,
two process cages, two exhaust cages,
three scalding baskets, two fire-pots,
crane fixtures, furnace doors, CRATE bars,
Gaping and tipping appliances and nee
essary small tools. Requires $500 bricks
to set kettles and chimney, and build
ing twenty by fifty feet. Price 5000, not
including bricks or building.
"CanniDg machinery for 10000 cans,
3-pound, or 13. 900 cans, 2-pound:
zone process kettle, one exhaust ket-
tie, one scalding kettle, one cooling tub,
four process cages, four exhaust cages,
four scalding baskets, three fire-pots,
crane fixtures, furnace doors, CRATE bars,
Gaping and tipping appliances and all
necessary small tools. Requires 1000
brick to set kettles and erect chimney,
and building thirty by sixty feet. Cost
$500, not including bricks or building.
This certainly does not represent a
large outlay of capital in the plant, and
all else that must be provided for is that
necessary to pay for material and labor.
This latter item depends, of course, upon
the size of the establishment. The larger
the plant the smaller will be the relative
proportion of the cost of some classes of
labor. AS a rule, however, in such plants
as Lave been described, one man at $3.50
to $500 per day can do the processing;
one fireman at 90 can attend the fur
mace and some small matters. For cap
ping and tipping together the average
price is Is cents per 100 cans. For peel
ing cents per ten-quart bucket, about
80 cents per 100 cans, is paid. For lab
cling cans IS cents per 100 is paid, and
for packing the general price is $1.OO per
day, 1000 cans being as days
work. Thus, in plant packing 400
cans Of two pounds each per day, the av-
erage labor cost will be about $500 per
day, or little over cents per can. Be-
sides this the raw material, cans and
small supplies must be secured.
"Abouta fair crop of tomatoes would be
from 800 to 400 bushels per acre. and in
mecases 900 bushels have been secured
AS one bushel will fill from sixteen to
twenty cans Of three pounds each, it.
