GETTING PERSONAL

AA@1sSN~N<1As
Hiess-There are members of this coun-
Gil who object to retrenchment because
it would lay off their relatives. There is
Moran, whose father-in-law has posi-
tions on the sewers, has done no
work for six weeks but draws his
pay every week There is Horn who
asked that certain man be not laid off
because he is boarding with him.
Horn objected on a point of order and
was sustained by the chair.
Hardy-Evans should be ashamed to
introduce such resolution. 1t is done
solely to kill the original retrenchment
report was some good.
Kelly was tired OF what he called gal
Iery talk, and wanted to get down to
business.
Eyans-The resolution is almost word
for word the same as the report of the re-
trenchment committee as far as it goes.
/ want the retrenchment to begin and this
will start il.
Folland-The effect of this resolution
will be that extravaganza will be in
creased instead of lessened.
THE LIE PASSES.
Moran said he had a. father-in-la
working for the city and ne supposed it
would be necessary for him to get d.
vorce to please some people. Mr.. Heiss
also mao a 1atners1n-laW VINO worked in
one of the city additions last summer.
Heiss-It's a lie.
Chairman-Order, order. gentlemen.
Heiss moved an amendment as follows:
'sThat no head of department be author
lied to discharge any employee without
consulting the committee. and the COM
mittee be authorized to discharge when
necessary Amendment laid on the
table.
The previous question was called for
and the resolution prevailed, Beardsley.
Bell, Evans, Horn, Kelly, Lawson, Mo-
ran, Simondi and Mainland voting ave.
and POLAND, Hardy and Rich no.
NEARLY A FIGHT.
Moran then moved that the committees
report be taken up. Mo-
ton prevailed. Moran immediately
moved that the report be filed.
POLAND called for the reading of the
report and the recorder waded through
its long and numerous clauses, after
which Rich, Simondi, Horn, Moran and
Folland almost simultaneously jumped
to their feet in an effort to be recognized
by the chair (Which had been taken BIZ

government discrimination between
the dollars of its own creation that

speculate upon the money of the
country, and perpetrste the most gi-
gsutic robberies of the people. Such
discrimination has also cost this
country moro than all its wars and all
the pensions that have ever been paid

GETTING READY TO ISSUE BONDS.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE gold rs-
serve continues to decrease, and to-day is
lower than it has ever been, standing at
86,868 900, showing a reduction of $780,
600 since the first of the month.-Press Dis
patch.
Notwithstanding the failure thus
far of the gold-bugs to secure the
Legislation they started out to obtain,
their conspiracy with the admins
tration has placed the country, in
practice, upon an absolute gold basis.
Nothing but gold is considered or
treated as money; and, in reducing
the reserve which is held that 1t is
necessary to maintain, the depart
ment is paving the way for q demand
for more bonds with which to buy
gold, and also increase the basis for
national bank issues. The bonds
now outstanding mature in the year
1901, and unless provision is made
previous to that time for more "the
best banking system the world has
ever known" (for the banker) must
terminate for want of a basis. AL
ready the repealers are considering
the propriety of a compromise with
with the obstinate" senator's upon
the silver question, and they will
seek to engraft a provision for new
bonds upon any compromise measure
that may be proposed. Watch them
and see.

No PARTY that was ever organized in this
country has made more mistakes in its brief
career than the 90 -oslled Peoples party
Emporia Republican, October 10.
Judged from the standpoint of a
republican who never exerts hi mself
enough to think or reason, but who
shuts his eyes and gropes blindly
along the party race course, never
daring to look over the fence on
either side, this is probably true. Any
departure from republican methods
or policy is regarded as a mistake.
The Republican should remember
that a majority of the people do not
Judge the acts of the Peoples party
from such standpoint, and, further,
that If departure from republican
policy and methods is a mistake, the
people would prefer the mistakes for
q whlle.

LabOrers Must Out Off Luxurieg.

Henry Clews, the Wall street banker,
in his financial review Of October 7, has
given US some new light ~ on the labor
question. We have hitherto been OF the
opinion that the wage workers Of the
country did pretty we'll under present
conditions il they were able to secure
the necesssries Of life, to say nothing Of
comforts and luxuries. But Mr.. Clews
thinks that the reductions Of wages
which manufacturers are making will
only deprive the )aboring classes OF q
few "luxuriee," etc. In order to put be-
fore our readers the nsbob's view Of the
laboring man, we quote from Mr.. Olews'
financial review. Speaking CT the status
of business, he says:
The number Of manufacturing establish
ments daily starting steadily exceeds the
number Of shut-dOWns. UnqueStiOnAbly
there are many Thousands lesS Of the unem-
ployed than q month ago. II il be said that
wages are being reduced, IL may also be
said that the majority Of these reductions
have been about 10 per cent; and, 40 wages
have been unusually high and the majority
of the necessities Of life uDpEecOdentedly
low, such moderate reduction as this can
not inflict real hardship upon the lSbonng
Glasses. At most, il viii only deprive them
OF few of the luxurieS and pleasures which
oan be benefi-ially dispensed with. More
over, the red4c'iOns in wages viii put many
manufacturers on q better basis for meet
ing foreign competition when general re-
puction Of the tariff is In order, and thus In

papers, and the "me too" papers will
be running il for q couple Of months
yet. Col. Moore, not yet having been
admitted to a seat in congress, what
would he be doing IN q democratic
caucus? Being in Washington, sup
pose that he has been present at a
caucus by invitation Of some personal
friend (as that Is the only way he
could secure admission to a Caucus) !,
what would be the significance of
such q visit? Mr.. Moore could not
be there in any representative CapaC-
ity, nor could he participate in any
manner whatever in the proceedings.
Verify, resublicans are hard up for
argument, and they have to devote 30
much time and space to such rot as
this that they cannot Rs much as
mention one of the living issues Of
the times.

DR. McLAILN denies chat the 50. Louis
convention will result in = new party. He
says that the southern democracy iS now

Aocking to the Populists. That is proba-
bly, true. This is the southern democrats
favorite time for going over 20 third party.
He has no important election on hand. he
will get back TO the democratic camp all
right before another president is elected
Emporis Republican, October IL.
Yes, he will get back just as Kan
sas republicans have been getting
back since the first break in 1890.
The getting back will all be in the
columns of the old party papers.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-10-18

The Ottawa Republican calls attention to
startling contrast. Gov. Lewelling and
Gov. Tillmsn, Of South Carolina, shook
hands over the bloody OhaSm and the cleo
tion of a rebel colonel named Harris TO
congress from Kansas. II says that no men
tion was made Of the possibility Of Kan
sas republican going TO congress from South
Carolina. City Gazette, October 10.
That's about right, as near as we
can figure 1t out. The people are
about done sending republicans to
congress from any state. They turn
out to be only democrats when they
get there, and they are no good, any
how.

foundation. Much OF the fear about tariff
revision is wholly unnecessary for revenue
necessities will prevent any radical changes,
and few appear to be contemplated, except
in the wOOlen and iron schedules.
We have shown in another article
that the thousands Of unemployed are
going to work at reduced wages; and
that this reduction is a part Of the
''game"-one of the fruits, and we sus-
peCt one Of the purposes Of the depres-
sion Mr.. Clews thinks that 10 per
cent. 10 very small reduction, especially
when wages have been unusually
high" Such small reduction cannot
iDAiCt any hardship upon the lRboring
classes-'t will only deprive them Of
few luxuries, and pleasures which can
be beneicially dispensed with (D."
The Wall street mouthpiecs argues
correctly that such a reduction will
put many manufacturers on a better
basis for meeting foreign competition"
etc. Then it will be seen that the man
ufscturers do two good deeds-they put
their own business on a "better basis,"
and they deprive the laboring classes of
luxurles and pleasures which can bs
''bene6cislly dispensed with"
Inasmuch as Mr.. Olews has referred to
woolsn and iron schedules, we turn to the
seventh annual report OF the commits
sioner Of labor, which has just come to
our hands fresh from Washington, for
official figures concerning the woolen and
iron industry. Concerning wages, cost
Of living, etc., OF lsborers in the wooden
industry, table "a, with sub-tables from
A to Fl, inclusive, gives reospitulation
Of cost OF living by states. The table
shows that the annual income per fam
i)y from all sources in the woolen indus
try in 1891, 9l1 families Of America being
considered, was $66313. Out Of this
small income OF the whole family, 593
families each saved on an average $l36.I6;
while 268 families experienced deficit
Of $6l 40 sRch-indulged in too many
''luxuries," We suppose.
As an example Of the pay for iron
workers the report shows that in nine
mixed iron and steel establishments,
2,202 lsborerS were paid all the way
from Al cents to SO per day, but nearly
1900 of them were paid from s1.21 to
$l.40 per dBy-not much room to lop of
'luxuries." IL our readers desire to
have official figures concerning the
wages paid in the manufacturing indus
tries, they should send to the commits
0ioner Of labor, Washington, D. O., for
his reports. 1t will be found that the
annual income Of whole families, who
have no time for recreation, is less than
the daily income Of some individuals of
the class for whom Mr.. CleWs is spokes-
man.
Instead Of talking Of cutting down the
pay Of the producing element, it would
be better to increase their wages, but cut
down rates Of interest, reduce official
salaries, tax the incomes of the wealthy
heavily, and deprive that class of many
luxuries and pleasures which would only
be beneficial" to them. There could be
no harm in that. Give the labOripg
man chance to accumulate surplus,
for rainy day, have some time for rest
and recreation, and an opportunity to
