Why the Pro'eetionist Organs Are
Calamity HOwlcrs.

The real reason why the Republican
press is trying to show TINT the coun-
try has not recovered from the hard
times of the Mckinley panic, is their
desire to serve tho ends of their own
ers, the protected manufacturers. The
principal benefoiaries OF the now
tariff had for years previous to the
enactment OF the Mckinley law pro-
tested that they only wanted protec-
tion SO that they could pay their work
men high wages. But after the tariff
OF 1890 increased the duties on foreign
goods these manufacturers showed
their true colors, and under the oper.
alton of the highest protection ever
known in the history of tho country
reduced wages in most OF the leading
industries from fifteen per cent. to
twenty-five per cent. The workmen
who refused TO accept tho reduction
and won't on strike were beaten in
practically every contest.
With the repeal OF tho Mckinley
thrill, the era of closed factories and
wage reductions ended. At once trade
began to revive, and in less than year
from the adoption of n revenue tariff
the demand for goods was SO great
that mills and factories found diff.
Guilty in filling orders. More work
men were needed, and under these
favorable conditions there has been
general movement for higher wages,
especially in the protected iron aud
steel, glass, coal mining, wooden and
cotton industries. Strikes for in.
creased wages have been numerous,
and in nearly every instance success.
full. Those manufacturers who volun.
tnrily raised wages, did so in order to
retain their employees, or 10 avert
threatened strike.
This widespread advance in wages
is naturally opposed by the manufac-
tnrerF, who havo supported protec.
ZIONIST papers for the purpose of de.
ceiving tho workingmen as to the real
effect OF high tariffs OH wages. So in
obedience to their owners tho bribed
organs of McKinlcyism are now ell.
gagged in] disappearing the condi.
ton OF business and claiming that in
dustry is still in n very bad way. In
order to prevent the workingmen
from demanding moro pay, these pa
pers preach ruin and despair, and wall
long and loud that matters arc not
much better than under protection.
But their false statements no longer
delude the people. Every ono knows
that prosperity has returned to the
country, and the clamor of the mon
opoly press can do little to prevent
the workers from getting their fair
share of its benefits.

The i'runc Industry.

The raising OF prunes has come to be
n leading industry in some of the West.
ern States. Immense orchards are to
be found in Washington, Oregon, Mon.
tana, Idaho and Utah, while California
takes the lead rs producer of the fruit.
The last named State alone may pro.
duce 150,000000 pounds per annum,
when all her prune trees bear, but It
has never happened that they have
borne full crops. In 1893 the output of
that State was 500O0,0oO, and 1t was
supposed the product of 1894 would
greatly exceed that; but the yield fell
to 10000. 600 pounds because OF drought
and other causes In the spring Of last
year.
