The silver Lining.



l9siFaeIRHBe nears for the reform
tariff bill to become law, we are re
joiced to see that the esteemed Ga
zette takes O more cheerful view of
the industrial and business condition.
To be sure, it say "the iniquitous
free trade crusade of the Democratic
administration has materially lower
ed wages" but it adds the assurance
that slow wages are better than no
wages" which may be called true
fact. We were under the impression
that the Republicans had abandoned
the theory that protection insured
high wages. Mckinley claimed that
his law would advance or maintain
wages, but when it did neither, and
its passage was followed by gener-
al cut, especially in the protected in
dustries, the Republican organs and
Republican manufacturers took the
position that the tariff had no mater
ial effect on wages, and the rate was
merely a question of supply and de
mand. That was honest, and the
truth. The disruption of labor or
CARNATIONS and reduction OF wages
that took place at Braddock and
Homestead were based on the princi-
pie that the companies had the right
to get their work done at the market
price and that the tariff was not in
it, This was in Mckinley times,
and these establishments set the
pace for other industries. Wages are
at a low cbb now, not because of ap-
pretended tariff changes, but be-
cause of the great number of idle
men-a world wide complaint. There
are two men for every days work,
and wages must come down, but this
condition is rapidly changing. Be-
fore year the status NAV be two
days work for every man. Then wa
ges will go up, labor organizations
will revive and employees will share
with employers the control of the la
Dor market This is the experience
of the past. We have had two great
panics, with industrial depression
those Of 1878 and 1S93-in periods
of high protective tariffs. Sometimes
wages and business are in the trough
of the sea, and at other times boom
ing on the topmost waves OF prosper
ity. The tariff is an infinitesimal
factor as to wages. We concede,
however, that the state of uncertain
ty that attends tariff revision, no
matter whether up or down does af-
feet business until that uncertainty
is changed to fixed and established
conditions. Business and industry
y
are not improving in way that is
noticeable throughout the country
despite the tariff uncertainty, which
has been reduced to a minimum BY
the probabilities of speedy legisla-
ton, and reasonably correct esti-
mate of what that legislation will be.
We welcome the Gazette TO the
more gracious role of a believer in
the future, with reform tariff IN
operation within the next 80 days.
The nearer we come to the fatal hour,
as the Republicans have taught,
when McKinleyism will be thing
of the past, the better for business,
commerce, industry, wages and ev-
erything else that goes to make the
sum total of general prosperity.
That is not III line with Republican
appeals to voters on the eve of cleo
ton, but it is demonstrated truth.

The editor of one of our republi
can exchanges says ''the hard times
Of the past year will be greatly in
creased by the passage of the Wilson
bill" Our contemporary ought to
know that the hard times of the past
year were brought about by com
bination of Republican blunders, the
chief of these being the Sherman sill
yer purchasing act and the McKin-
ley monopoly tariff, and the unpar-
alloled extravaganza of the "Billion
Dollar Congress. Affairs of the
nation were going from bad to worse
and our country would have been
brought to utter ruin had not Dem
ocratic administration been placed
in charge and the brakes applied.

The Minneapolis Tribune says tina

THE Minneapolis Tribune says that
the Chicago Rail,oay Age administers
red-hot roast to Mayor Hopkins for
asking permission of Debs to remove
the dead carcasses Of animals from
the stock yards district, instead of Or
dering out the police and compelling
the mobs to stop interfering with the
execution of the city ordinances. The
Age publishes a fac-simile of the order
signed by Debs giving permission to
the Mayor to execute his municipal
functions, and accuses Hopkins of alb
ject poltroonery. The idea of an ex-
ecutive officer of great city asking a
private citizen for permission to ex-
ecute the ordinances of his city has a
very sickening tinge to it, and ought
to drive the man who does it into OBJ
scurity too deep to ever be cut open.

THE RAILROADS AND THE
STRIKERS.

There is great deal of rot being
published in some quarters regarding
the action of the railroads in taking
the strikers back to work. Whatever
may be said about any action which
the railways may have taken in the
strike which may not conform with
ones idea of ethics in the business
world, it seems to the FREE PRESS
that the roads have played very fair
in the matter of taking back men
who left their employ without any
grievance and subjected both them
and the public to the great incOnven-
fences and losses which followed.
They have expressed themselves atal
times as willing to take back.Sall the
men who left their employ, under
these circumstances, who did not en-
gage in acts Of violence. Here they
draw the line. And Mr. Debs himself
has endorsed this position by stating
that it would not be expected that
the roads would take back those who
had joined in the destruction of their
property.
But it cannot be expected under
these circumstances that the roads
would drop those men who staid by
them or came to them during the
dark days of the..strike and riSked their
lives that the passenger traffic might
not be wholly impeded. Such course
would be most dishonorable one,
and the roads are to be commended
for the stand they have taken in the
matter
But it is claimed in some quarters
that they are not taking back all of
the men who have not engaged in acts
of violence. This is undoubtedly true.
But we can see several reasons for
this. In the first place not all of the
men have offered their services again,
so the roads have had no chance to re-
engage them. In the second place,
business has so fallen off as result of
the strike that as many men are not
at present needed. This point will be
recognized by all reasonable men at
once, for they know that as business
increases, so will the traffic, and all of
the old men will be given their form
er places
In the strengthening out of the tan
gle into which the strike has thrown
the business affairs of the country the
leaders and officials of organized labor
are given lesson which will prove
most beneficial, if they will but profit
by it, and that is to be more sure of
their footing before they plunge the
country, or any section of it, into an
industrial war.

nADELlA lTEnS.

Hello, Editor FREE PRESS: l am
not dead, but the town has been since
the 4th. The farmers are all busy
haying and harvesting. The crops
around here are number one, corn
never looked better, but we are in
need Of rain.
Billie Marble, the Snowman, and
wife are spending their vacation here
with friends and relatives.
The wedding bells rang out loud
and clear Tuesday the 10th, it being
the marriage of James Hale and Miss
McGinn, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Hale
runs confectionery store here, and
has many friends who wish them a
long and happy life. They took the
afternoon train for ST. Paul, return
ing Thursday. Father E. j. O'Con-
nell performed the ceremony.
Talk about riding on the cars at the
rate of a mile minute, or on a
bicycle, but one of our BARRIERS broke
the record with team and carriage
the morning of the fifth, driving
from st. James to Madelia a distance
of Is miles in st hours. The lady
said they didn't have to urge the
horses either. Well, John, we won't
mention any names, then they wont
know who it is.
G. n. BOyntOn lost valuable work
mare Friday.
The brick work on j. j. HOffman'S
new building is completed, also the
roof is on and they are at work finish
ing off the inside. 1t adds much to
the appearance of that side of the
street.
Steven NoOnan, proprietor of tbs
Flanders hotel, has placed in his par
lor $4OO Mahlen piano. Jim Gran
dali, agent. Jim is a hustler.
About 60 old soldiers and Sons of
Veterans spent the 4th at Sleepy Eye
and all report a good time.
Our firemen are busy putting up
the wire for our electric fire alarm.
There will be Is boxes in all, that will
place them around our village in good
shape. What is needed now is fire
in some of these old rat traps.
About two-thirds of the population
of our city has got the whooping
cough. There has only been one
death so far, babe II years old.

The Minneapolis Tribune in it's re-
view of the wheat market for the
week says the government crop report
issued last week was of no value WHAT
ever as the matter therein contained
were so out of line with the
ascertained facts which operators
had received. In referring to the
Northwest it says: SIN the
Northwest, it is said that dry, hot
weather, has FASTENED the ripening of
the grain materially during the past
week or so, and that harvesting prom,
iseS to be much earlier than last year.
Advlces, private and public, indicate
that the crop is very much spotted
and that results will vary greatly, &C
cOrding to locality. South Dakota ap-
pears to be the greatest sufferer, large
areas being reported as not being
worth the labor to harvest. A gener-
al average by good authorities places
the crop at one-third to one-half of an
average"

The large pump at the pumping
station suffices to supply all the wants
of the city very easily. During this
heated spell, no more water is being
pumped than was the case last sum-
mer, as the waste has been largely
stopped. About 100000 gallons a
day is used, and the pump runs from
twelve to fourteen hours day. Had
it not been repaired, it would have
had difficulty in supplying the de-
mands put upon it, but as it is tie
new pump will probably not have to
be used.

IT is stated that the foundation for
the many kilograms which Mayor Pin
gree, of Detroit, sent out in reference
to the strike, was an ambition to be
governor of Michigan. The Mayor
ought to know that such road is
difficult one to travel. Some of the
sentiments he put forth might return
to bother him, unless his everyday
actions strictly conform Herewith.

The excavation for Carlos BOyn-
tons new house was begun yesterday.
Work on the new jail is going on
fast, with large force of men. The
contractors are having good weather
for their work.
Mr.. Burdick states that his con-
tract at the Normal school will be

Mrs. Town, the insane sister of
Mrs. Capt. Holmes, was found near
Red Jacket at three o'clock yesterday

brought her home.
The foundation is in for an addi-
tion to Geo. w. Thoms' old brick
building two doors north of his fruit
store. 1t will be fifty feet deep and

apolis or ST. Paul firm and that the
Mankato limestone will be used. The
Omaha firm, which was the lowest
bidder, has had trouble with the
treasury department in previous con-
tracts and will not be awarded this
one.

act scientific men call it. Parents
must use their utmost intelligence if
baby is to get safely through the sum-
mer. Cholera infantum never at
tacks properly nourished children, no
matter how heated the season. Only
the weak, dropping babies succumb to
summer complaints.
At the first indication of faulty
nourishment, indigestion or diarrhea.
the prudent mother will look at baby's
diet. If she is trying to nurse baby
hrself through the hot summer. she
will make sure that her milk is cap
able of fully nourishing the little one.
But if she finds that baby is not
thriving, lactated food should be Civ
en- either as an additional nutriment
or for complete diet.
No less an authority than DR..
Guernsey, the senior editor of the
New York Medical Times, says that
he uses lactated food with children.
He says it is pleasant to taste and cas-
lily digested and assimilated. The
famous DR.. Agnew, as is well known
among physicians, was one of the first
to publicly recommend the food. DR..
}. Lewis Smith, perhaps the. greatest
authority in the country on the dis
eases Of children, professor of Belle
vue Hospital college, New York, also
commends it's use. There are hun
dreds of physicians in New England,
says the Boston Journal, who prescribe
lactated food invariably as the near
est approach to healthy mothers milk
and as rich baby food that builds
up the strength and bodies of young
children and inyalids.
Lactated food is an ideal infant
nutriment. Babies like it. They
grow fat and ruddy when fed on it as
an exclusive diet. 1t makes the i'm
poverished blood of puny children
grow rich and capable of making
growing bone and flesh. All fear of
cholera infantum may be dismissed
after baby is put on a diet of lactated
food: for the essential elements of
this dread complaint-impurity and
lack Of nourishing qualities in the
fOOd-are absolutely removed. Moth
ers may sleep peacefully without fear
of being awaked by a feverish cry by
night that may tell of some grave
intestinal disorder.
Babies fed on lactated food gain
steadily in weight and escape sum-
mer sickness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Soutar, who
live on Campbell street, Sandusky,
Ohio, owe their happiness to lactated
food They write:
"When our baby, Ruth, was sick
there was nothing that would stay on
her stomach. The doctor advised the
use of lactated food, and very thank
full we are, for in short time it work
ed wonders. She is now a large,
healthy child. Her age is one year
and four months. We are convinced
that if it had not been for the timely
used of lactated food our baby would
have died. We now have another lit
tie one that we are raising on lactated
food, we have such faith in it, and we
also recommend it to all our friends. y
