it has given employment to hundreds OF
men; and at the present time some 400
men are employed in the works.
In all the manufacturing institutions in
the state, or even in the West, not one
can be found in which there has been less
friction between the employees and the
company, or less cause for complaint,
than in the Upham shops at Marshheld.
Maj. William II. Upham, Republican can
didate for governor. is president of the
company. So uniformly wise and consid
crate has he been of the welfare OF his
men that there has never been a strike
at the Upham works. There have never
been mutterings of even discomfort in re-
gard to the amount of wages paid, or
dissatisfaction as to the manner in which
the wages have been paid.
Some Of the Democratic papers and
speakers, having no regard for the truth
or even decency, in political warfare, are
busily engaged in hbeling and slandering
OF his workingmen. They do not try to
speak the truth. They do not want the
truth known. The popularity Of Maj
lpham among the workngmen at Marsh
field Is a fact which troubles his oppo-
nents. During all the fifteen years of the
existence Of the Upham works the men
have never been forced. or even asked
70 take for their services anything but
the honest currency of the government
Their pay has always been good, and
has been promptly given when due.
Not only have the workingmen been
paid promptly and In good money, but
they have been encouraged to save money
and to live in their own houses; and act
Ing In a practical sort of way in this
business the Upham Manufacturing com
pany voluntarily made advances to the
Workingmen, offering in very substan-
tial manner to aid them in building homes
tor themselves. The wonderful success
1oiioWlng this kindly treatment Of the
workingmen IS seen in the fact that of tho
40 men who recently signed paper as
to the truth of these statements over 100
OF them own the houses in which they
live. A more cheering or satisfactory
condition Of labor, so far as its relations
with the employers are concerned, cannot
be found in any other manufacturing com
pany in the union.

The Remarkable Prophecy of Mr.,

FACTS FOR CHAIRMAN WILSON.

| The Economic Systems of England and
| tho United States Strikingly Compared.
| The New York Advertiser presents
some cold facts for the consideration of
| Chairman Wilson, who framed, in most
part, the present tariff law:
| The United States and Great Britain
| are the chief commercial rivals of the
| world. Sharing alike the world conquer
Ing Anglo Saxon blood, and advancing
side BY side in the great march of prog
ress, still they are in many respects ex-
act opposites in national conditions and
policies. England seated on her "snug
little isle reaches out with her mighty
navy to the utttermost ends of the earth,
and plays her hand in the great game of
nations.
There is no continent where her flag
does not 6oat, no sea that does net bear
her commerce, and no harbor where her
drum beat is not heard.
The policy Of the United States ever
since the days Of Washington has been
the opposite. A continental and not
colonial policy While England has
spread herself over the world, the Ameri-
can people has devoted itself to building
up America.
The result has been that today we
may claim, without boasting, the leading
place among the nations-frst In natural
resources, first in agricultural, first in
mining, first In manufactures, and first
In domestic commerce. We have rail-
roads sufficient to g1rdle the world more
than seven times. We have increased in
population, in wealth, in manufactures,
and in the distribution Of wealth more
rapidly than any other nation on the
globe or that ever existed. 1t has not
been our policy to reach out and spread
ourselves over the whole world, but rath-
or to make America the best and richest
country in the world, with the most M
telligent, most comfortable and most en-
terprising people.
And this is what we have done, not
withstanding Europe has been sending
to US In tho last forty-ive years 16,OOO,-
600 Of her poorest and least intelligent
population.
In 1891 the United Kingdom, includ-
Ing the adjacent islands, had population
Of 80, 104 900. In 1890 the United States
had 81, ,622 900. Today we have beyond
doubt not less than 67,OOO,OOO. When
the question is raised as to the compare
tive conditions of the two countries we
need only to consult the tables Of immi-
grafton. Examining these, we find that
there left the United Kingdom and came
to the United States the following num-
bers of persons in the periods named.

A SHOCKING MURDER
Mr.. PETER SCHOOLGIRLS HEAD NEARLY
SEVERED FROM HIS BODY.


FREDERICKSBURG. VA. December
cial)--Informatio was received
here this evening of most brutal and
shocking murder which occurred In STAFF
ford county Friday night but which was
not brought to light until yesterday. inc
victim was Mr.. Peter Schooler, highly
respected citizen, and brother-indaw OF
Sheriff Kennedy, who lives alone not far
from Mr.. Kennedy's house. The weapon
used was an axe, with which the MUIR
derer or murderers nearly severed his
head from the body. After committing
the deed they set fire TO the body and
badly burned II. This was done. II Is sup
posed, to burn the house. and thus cover
I'D the deed: but IL was destined other
wise. The crime was discovered by Mr..
Allie Limerick. who late yesterday eve
ming visited Mr.. Schooler's house for the
purpose OF seeing him on some business.
and falling to receive any answer. after
repeated calls and knocks, turned the
knob OF the door, and. finding 1t to be
open, entered.
FRIGHTFUL SPECTACLE.
The sight which met him was shock
Ing. Mr.. Schooler was lying on the floor,
with his head nearly severed from the
body, his stomach and thighs terribly
burned, and an axe lying across his chest.
After recovering from the shock Mr..
Limerick Immediately went for Sheriff
Kennedy. and the matter Is now being
thoroughly investigated. The cause OF the
crime is supposed to have been money.
for II is said that on Friday he sent a
quantity OF pork TO this city, which was
sold, and the money sent him. 1t is also
thought that he was Just going TO bed
when the murderer visited him, for the
covering was turned down. and he was
In his night-clothes. The deceased was
6S years old. and known for his quiet
and peaceful disposition. He was also the
brother OF Mr.. James Schooler.
