BREEDERS OF WAGE PANIcs.

What the Republican Monopolists Arc
Doing tor the worklngman.
The organs of tariff monopoly are
doing all they can to put wages
down. Every day they serve up col
umn or more each of editorial lamen-
tations over the alleged fall, actual or
prospective, in wages With ceaseless
iteration they assert that wages are
going down everywhere Not day
passes without its story of reductions
somewhere
And wages must keep on going
attempt to prevent the fall SO long as
there is any prospect OF the passage of
the Wilson bill.
The attention of workingmen and
labor organizations is hereby invited to
the fact that the deliberate purpose of
all this talk is to force wages down.
The purpose of the republican mo-
nopoly tariff organs is to encourage
protected employers in cutting wages
and to make employees believe tina. it is
useless for them to resis.
Processing to be the only true friends
of labor, the tariff monopolists and
their republican organs join hands in
depressing labor to its utmost in or
der, if possible, to defeat the Wilson
bill
With them it is anything to beat
tariff reform; anything to regain con-
troll of congress and prolong the life of
the robber system under which they
grow rich enough to buy up unnumbered
s'blocks of Eve" What matters it to
them how much suffering they infiict
upon workingmen so they but gain the
end they have in view?
No doubt there has been some fall in
wages since the silverprotection panic
Of last summer. but that is something

EXCEPT LONESOME OLD COYOTE"
Our gentlemanly and efficient express
agent like they are always putting
in out here. The dear old lady
nervously feels about for her specta-
cles, which she can never find, where
she has pushed them up on her fore
head. At last she has them safely in
front of her eyes. and has smoothed
the ruffied gray hairs into place. She
opens the paper and stares hard at the
scare head: Stop thief! Where is
Edward Hastings, and where, oh.
where is the Stage Co.'S five hundred
dollars?' could see her read the in
fer1al black letters in 4 dazed way
then the truth-the lie, the black lie
gather up her bruised spirit and bear it
away while her head is bowed in grief!
And-and l could see myself in that
hole. mangled and bleeding!
Il thought all this and more, too,
boys. A man lives a long time when
he knows that he has got to die the
next minute. Then 1 felt my grip
slowly relaxing. l commended my
soul to God, shut my eyes, let go and
dropped-'
The interest of his listeners was in
tense now. Even Dams hand shook a
little as he took his pipe from between
his lips, and Hastings voice dropped
almost to a whisper. Ee paused mo
ment and added:
"Dropped-just eighteen inches.'
There was a dead silence for fully q
half a minute; then Grasshopper JIM,
''fm Kansas" got up, slowly wiped his
eyes with the back of his hand, in
spected the hand critically for mo-
boot leg, where it left a long damp
streak in its wake. Then he sat down
again, looking fxedly at the express
agent. and CALCULATED. amidst the ap-
proving glances of every miner present:
well, l call tibet Their a shame!''
The S. T. 1860, Y, bottle was passed
from lip to lip, but no motion was
made to pass it on to Hastings until
Dan recovered enough to explain that
the story was true in every particular
that he could vouch for the most of
it Hastings. in fact, had fallen into
the Bobtail shaft, and the only reason
he had fallen eighteen inches. instead
of six hundred feet, was because in
digging the mine the miners had found
after going down about six feet that
they were some four feet to the left of
the vein and had simply ''sheived" and
gone on; and that morning, as ne was
coming to work, he had found Hastings
''roosting onto tibet shelf" too weak
from fright to help himself out.
Missouri Joe evidently had sifted the
whole matter through his mind and
was not satisfied with the conclusion.
II s-a-a-y, Neddie," he drawled, what
did you do when you struck bottom?
Did you finish that there prayer"
Ned colored guiltily as he replied:
Nav; you know l didn't finish the
prayer. What do you suppose did?"
.Just cussed," suggested Joe.
s'Surer' answered Ned.
