Strange TO say, that amid the Re
publican groans OF panic our BOYS
are all finding places to work for
good wages, and winter wages have
been better here this winter than
they have been for several years.
Some may wonder why that, &C.
cording to the Journals statistics
of an increase in coal productions
during the past year, hands were
so plentiful during the winter. We
answer that 1t was mostly caused
by the winter being favorable, so
as to allow all to be employed in
stead of sitting IN the house, as
usually is the case in cold, stormy
winters. There has been more EN- i.
terprise in this section during the
winter than usually has been in the
past, and lt takes but a small BRAN
to foresee that il the season is fa.
yorable, we will have y boom dur
ing the coming season. Twelve
years ago the farmers Of this section
hired hands at fifty cents day in
harvest, pitched their hay with
wooden forks, picked wintergreen
and chestnuts TO buy groceries with,
rode on sheep SKINS to church to
keep the dirt from their cheap
jeans pants, and tbreshed their
grain out with a fail, and women
did their sewing with tho needle,
which was all done away with dur
ing the first reign Of that "father."
Cleveland, yet our Republican
politicians look back to that time
and cry glorious protection. But
now the moderate farmer goes to
the hay stable we'll dressed (?) with
a shoddy or cotton suit and looks
at his moving machine, threshing
machine, hay carrier, hay rake,
grain drill, spring Wagons and bug
gies, &C., and goes back to his
house and sees his wife washing
with good washing machine or
sewing with good sewing machine,
and he feels tired and blue over
having been to two or more secret
orders during the evenings Of the
week, and cries cut panic. ] should
not wonder II that Power Of the
universe does not send rs some
curse which would cause such PEG.
pie to lament in earnest.
