Wages Lost In Eastern Mills.

The extent Of the depression in the
textile industries of New England may
be gagged by the following statement of
the losses in wages in Lowell, Mass.
The mills were shut down for periods as
follows, and the losses, as near as can
be obtained, are also given: Merrimack,
two weeks; loss, $44, 900. Lawrence,
three weeks; loss, $50, 900. Lowell,
brussels department, four weeks; in
grain department, seven weeks; loss,
$4,000. Appleton, twelve and half
weeks; loss, $1O6, 900. fremont and
Suffolk, eight weeks; loss, $3.50, 900.
Hamilton, two weeks; loss, $2S, 900.
Faulkner's, seven weeks; loss, 1874, 900.
chickering's hosiery, twelve weeks; loss,
$4,000. Pulling 8 shoeshop, nine weeks
loss, $4,000. Collins mills, six weeks
loss, 8,4OO, Mohair Plush company,
eight weeks; loss, g., Howard
Knitting company, six weeks; loss,
$23, 900. Stott Bros, running two
thirds time; loss, $1,000; making to-
tai loss to employees Of 1918, 800. Be-
sides this many small concerns have
been shut down for three months, and
If the total losses of these could be OBJ
tanned it would undoubtedly be found
that the working people of the city have
lost in wages fully $3.50, 600 this season.
But the loss is not at an end, as the mills
have all cut down wages about per
cent and are usually running ON re-
duced time and with reduced help

Agricultural Ignorance.

Does not every dollars worth of imports
kept out by protective policy keep In a dol
lars worth of import grain that would other
wise leap to go out?
This is one of those profound conun-
drums that the secretary of agriculture
tried to solve at the congress of agricul-
ture recently held in Chicago. We do
not believe that any schoolboy would
ask such aquestion. The protective
tariff has nothing whatever to do with
the exports of the country. The guam
tity of grain that will leap to go out"
depends entirely upon the crops in other
countries as we'll as in our own-in
fact, upon the question of supply and
consequent demand. The protective
tariff, Mr.. Morton, is to keep out from
this country things that are grown or
manufactured In other countries, and
which we ourselves are able to grow or
manufacture. We presume that Mr..
Morton is not aware that during the
period of the greatest protection this
country has ever had our exports
of wheat were larger than ever
known in the history Of the coun-
try, the result being that our i'm
ports were phenomenally smaller than
our exports; hence our exceeding pros
perity under protection. The dense
ignorance shown by the secretary of
agriculture in the affairs pertaining to
his department would be amusing, were
it not 80 shameful, in coming from the
head of the department that should be
representative of our vast agricultural
resources. -American Economist

THE SUFFERING PEOPLE.
A Hard Winter Before the Workers OF the
Nation.

Hard Winter Before the Workers Of the
Nation.
General Hastings of Pennsylvania, in
a speech at Philadelphia, has tersely
summed up the situation in the country.
The condition of the Pennsylvania farm
er and workingman as he presents it is
not overdrawn, and 1t will be the condi-
ton OF the New York farmer and worker
before year rolls round unless the peo-
pie call a halt at the ballot box. He says:
"People are now in want, with hard
winter and poverty staring them in the
face, and who can say that all this is not
due to Democracy and the Democratic
congress?
"The country is in such condition
now that men turn to each other with
blanched faces and ask how long their
employment will last. Mills are closing
every day. The party in power at Wash
ington is responsible for the existing con-
dition of affairs. The farmer is feeling
the stress of financial and political
weather as we'll as the artisan and pro-
fessional man. and through the length
and breadth of our beautiful state one
hears the cry for relief. But the Demo
cratic party remains inactive and unre-
sponsive to the public demand.
"The Democrats repudiated protection
at Chicago and said they would do bet
ter things. They have done nothing but
cause wave of destruction and poverty
to sweep the land. They painted tariff
reform in such glowing colors that the
people thought they would like change.
They got it, but at what a cost!
During the 25 years the Republican
party ran the government wages in
creased from 10 to 80 per cent, and the
people prospered and saved money. Sat-
isfied with affairs, our foreign neighbors
were glad to deal with us and take our
money, but as soon as the Democrats
gained power they began to question our
stability and wonder if silver was to be
the same as before.
1.-THE people are frightened. Manu-
facturers are at their wits ends. If the
manufacturers had the assurance that
the tariff would not be tinkered with for
10 years and promise that no change
would be made in the currency of the
nation, all the mills in the country
would begin work inside of two weeks.

FIRST OF ITS KIND.
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES ENJolNED
FROM STRIKING.

Judge jenkins Issues the Order and
Never Before In the History of the
United States Has Such a Proceeding
Taken Place Before Strike Was In
augurated.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 27.-A conflict is
on between the receivers of the North
ern Pacific railroad and its employees,
including all the engineers, conductors,
firemen, trainmen, switchmen and so on.
The new schedule of wages adopted
by the receivers, which implies cut
of to 10 per cent in employees pay, was
rejected by the employees representa-
tives at conference held at st. Paul
with General Manager Kendrick Mon
day and the prospects are that on Jan.
/, when the new schedule is to go into
effect, $500 men employed all along the
road will quit work.
This outcome of the controversy was
forseen by the receivers, for as early as
Dec. 10 they applied for and obtained
from Judge Jenkins of the United
States court of this city an order au-
thorizing and directing them to put
into operation the new schedule OF
wages and restraining employees and
their unions from combining and con-
spring to quit with or without notice
the service of the road with the object
of Gripping or embarrassing it's opera
ton, and generally from interfering
with the officers and agents of receivers
or their employees in any manner by
actual violence, intimidation, threat or
otherwise"
This injunction was held back till
Tuesday, the receivers having expected
to arrive at an amicable agreement.
When they found such an agreement
impossible, they telegraphed to their
agents and attorneys all along the line
to have the injunction served by the
United States marshals on the proper
men and to make the injunction gener-
ally known.
The order of the court restraining
the Northern Pacific employees from
ICON mining and conspiring to quit the
service of the road" is an extraordi-
nary document. 1t is the first order of
its kind, it is said, ever issued in the
United States. A somewhat similar
injunction was issued by a United
States court in Michigan during the
strike of the Toledo and Ann Arbor
employees, but that injunction was is
sued after the strike was in progress.

The clock licked on, the fire sput-

raised his head and looked at Margaret
as she lay with closed eyes. Her~vhite,

four years since she had stood bride
of nineteen and given herself to him.
Why, could it be only four years! It
seemed like an eternity And yet the

ness of yesterday-the organs tone,
the brilliant procession, the subdued
hush of the church, and then the rec
tors solemn words. He wondered if
he could remember any of them.

She glanced furtively at him. He
rested his head on his right hand, his
left clasping Beths. His eyes were
fixed on the child as if he would in
these few moments left feast his fam
ished heart upon that which had been
SO long withheld. Something in his
position made Margaret think of one
other night when they had sat like this
and watched Beth through the Group,
and how they had felt that if God
would only spare her they could have
nothing in life to trouble them again.
How gentle and tender John had been
that night!
And then there was the time that
Beth was burned and John had walked
with her the whole night long and
would not even let the mother rest
him, because ''she was weak and he
was strong" he had said. How the
memories came thronging upon her!
Oh, if she could only wake and find
that this year had been dream-a hor-
rible dream-and there had been no
quarrel! She threw her head back and
closed her eyes with sick feeling that
she had dug her own grave.
1t would never be! She would find
herself here tomorrow, but Beth
would be gone-downstairs would be a
baby that would look like her, but it
would not be Beth. And then there
would be the funeral. And then the
empty house, the house that John had
said he should never take from her and
Beth. And then-oh! what would she
do then? Why, she was only twenty
three, and most people didn't die till
