In letter 10 the Iron Trade Review.

Carnegie says: 1T seems to me that
1895 is going to be better year for the

that brief sentence there is good deal
that bears directly upon the prospect
for the retail trade of this and other

Any improvement in the iron and steel
industry Of the country means an in
creased demand for these commodities,
and that means an increase in the vol

means that the pay roll of the con

This means employment both for skilled

r In the past twenty-five years the
wholesale merchants of st. Paul have
been prominent Ill all the great enter
priSes that have given to the Capital
City of Minnesota its Importance in the
Northwest. The steadily increasing
magnitude of their operations, as they

its citizens with great interest,
not unmingled with pride, when
noticing the enterprise shown by them
in pushing their business into new
fields and competing with other pusi.

formerly been considered as belonging

ORGANIZED LABOR.
HARRY FRANKLIN,

president Allied Printing Trades Council
The past year was most trying one
for the trade union movement, but it
has demonstrated that the organization
of labor will ultimately be the means Of
bringing about complete emaucipa-
ton of the working classes from the
hands of corporate greed and avarice.
The conditions in the industrial world
were such that during the entire year
the efforts of the leaders were copceu-
trated with a view of maintaining the
present position, and little attempt was
made to add new forces to the move
ment. In this city several new organ
izations were established, it is true, and
anumber of unions enjoyed all increase
in their membership. but the greatest
gain for the cause lies in the fact that
most of the unions were able to main
tain their old scale OF wages and also
provide for their unemployed members;
and organized labor has gained recOgni-
ton at the hands of the daily newspa-
pers of our city, as may be seen each
Sunday.
AT the inception of 1895 the labor
movement in st. Paul is in better con-
dition than it has ever been before, for
it has been tried and tested to such an
extent that the workingmen are con-
vinced that it is most etfectual and
efficient defender and promoter of their
vital interests. Just what will be &C
cOmplished during the year is hard to
i'm yi,cto Mt al
ognition at the hands of our own state
legislature and from congress that will
furnish complete protection for labor
unions within legitimate grounds; aud.
if that is secured, there will be revival
in the work that will nearly double the
membership.
The tendency of the organizations is
toward the adoption of complete list
of benefit features that will offer a
double inducement for men to join ana
be loyal, and the present year will see
some advancement in this direction.
The industrial organizations are now
reaching the point of perfection, and, in
many places. the spirit of cooperation
has been developed as a means of re-
lleving the present conditions that sur
round the working classes, and some
reforms in this line will probably be in
augurated.
Viewed in general sense the out
look for 1895 is most encouraging for all
classes of working men-busin ess is I'M
proving, labor organizations are being
recognized more fully as factor i'll Our
industrial world, the shorter workday is
slowly but surely coming. the rights of
capital and labor are being more fully
defined; and, little by little. the workers
are gaining, and will soon occupy, the
pot ion in the affairs OF the country that
they should hold. and will be a most
potent factor in promoting our country's

A LITTI E incident occurred in New
York the other day which illustrates
how, back Of all these schemes whose
pretended aim is the benefit of the
Workingman, there stands the greedy
individual, working it for his own BEN
eft. One Cullum was employed as a
painter to do work for the government.
He was member of the painters
union. he was put to work by his boss
at .25 day. The government paid
the boss $3.50 day for CuIlum's work.
The check for the full amount was sent
to the boss, who had Cullum indorse it,
and no then paid CulIum his so % a day
and pocketed the difference himself.
That was his compensation for being
boss. Maj. Phipps, of the army, who
was in charge of the work, said to a
reporter of the World that before the
formation of labor unions he coulI hire
men direct for single days or short time
jobs, but that now he is obliged to deal
with the bosses. eve are charged the
rate which the union demands" Os-
tenslbly this union was formed for the
purpose of securing to the painters SO. so
a day for their work. In practice we
see that it was formed for the purpose
of enabling the boss to get So. so day
for tins mans work, the man to be paid
at such rates as he and the boss could
agree upon.

enable them to enjoy few of the lux

This is exactly what the retail trade
OF st. Paul needs. and this is what is
what l believe we will see brought
about by the 1st of July, 1895. That is
why | believe there is no need TO be

prospects of the Northwest or their
bearing or the retail trade of this city.
While there is some connection between
the two, it is so remote and so small
that deem it hardly worth mentioning.
Its bearing is largely, if not wholly. on
the wholesale trade. 1t is to the profit
able and continuous employment of
labor that we must look largely for i'm.
provement in the conditions of the re-
tail trade, and as the employment of
labor, and especially skilled labor, is
very closely allied to the output of iron
and steel in the country, | consider the

be not only very significant. but it terse-
ly predicts the promise of improvement

unity among all who for the love of
Christ seek to elevate humanity.
Indications for the future are encour-
aging.
There are not so many out OF employ
ment and needing help as there were a
year ago. Still, there are many to he
cared for. There is no place yet for any
relaxation in charitable efforts. City
funds, available last year to help ths
unemployed, are all exhausted. The
demands for aid are still sufficient to tax
to the utmost the generosity of the peo1
pie and the most earnest efforts of all
those organizations and agencies which
have in charge relief work. Tn,
churches are finding that contribution
for their work are coming in more readt
lily than year ago, and feeling of det
preston is giving place to one of in4
crsasing hOpefulness. The plans fol
the year, while calling for careful estit
mates OF expenditures, are, neverthet
less. being made with confidence aud
with some advance over last year.
While the year before us will prob
ably see very little church bollding in
this city. it gives promise of enlarged
work, which will call for new appIl
ances and new buildings IN the near
future. 1t IS not unreasonable to ext
pect that with returning prosperity
there will be in the coming few ears
in our city religious activity and
growth surprising that of many pre-.
Vious years. These trying times havs
been preparation for this. Religious
interests may be among the first to suf.

hood, these same religious interests are
the first to reap the fruits of returning
prosperity.
The outlook is hopeful. st. Paul has
a large-hearted, religiousIy disposed
people. 1t is true that there are various
natiOnalities and denominations. We
are far enough FROM having a homo
geneous population. This state OF
things may seem, for the time, to Oper.

RELIGION AND CHARITIES.
j. w. CONLEY,

Pastor First Baptist Church
The religious and charitable organiZa-
tious of st. Paul-are worthy of the most
cordial commentator. Few other cit
les. if any, can point to charitable
work so thoroughly systematized and so
satisfactorily done during the past year
as that of our own city. The plans in
operation here were very favorably
commented upon throughout the coUn-
try.
In religious work, the past year has
been very perplexing and trying time
financially. Some of the churches dur
ing the prosperous times few years
ago, in charging their work and build
ing houses Of worship, incurred debts
which have proved very burdensome
during these hard times. But in this
respect st. Paul churches are not so
badly situated as those of many other
Western cities. Those whose debts are
the heaviest have been able TO meet all
their obligations and carry on their
work with cOmmendable vig0r.
In many respects the past year has
been very encouraging one among the
churches. Periods of financial depres-
sion are nearly always marked by a
deepening interest in religious matters.
The past months have been no excep>
ton to this, as is evidenced by the large
additions to the churches and by the
encouraging attendance upon their sery-
ices. There has been, too. magnify
ing of the bonds which unite all who are
working for the good OF humanity. In
meeting the constant calls for the relief
of suffering the churches have cordially
united, and differing names and creeds
have largely been lost sight of in the
one common, Christ-llke work Of help
ing the needy. Such commingling of
the various religious and philanthrOpic
forces in our city cannot fail to be help

POPULATION AND GROWTH.
EDWARD j. HODGsON,

president Security Trust Company.]
Any forecast Of the future of st. Paul
that would be worth the making or
printing must be made upon careful
and Intelligent consideration Of present
and past conditions, viewed IN the cal
cium light of experience. There Is no
ray can pierce the blackness of the fut-
ure save from the torch of experience.
What. then, are these conditions. and
what do they predicate for the future Of
our Queenly city?
Within the past year and half the
Great Northern has been completed to
the Pacific coast, there to intercept and
receive part of the Oriental trade that
is seeking in increasing quantities our
Western coast. And ST. Paul is the
Eastern terminus of this great con-
tinental road with its international
traffic connections. Within the same
time branch of the $780," some 500
miles in length, has been completed
to junction with the Canadian Pa
cific, making st. Paul the eastern
terminus of that branch of the 800"
and its connections, as well as one Of
the important termini of the Canadian
Pacific itself. And during the same
period the Great Northern has also
completed its branch from Sioux Falls
to Yankton, making some of the best
portions of South Dakota directly
tributary to st. Paul. In addition to
these outside extensions, during the
year 1894 250 miles of new railroad were
built within the state of Minnesota,
opening up new territory and develop
ing old.
Now, it must be admitted-for am
not trying to make boom argument
that much of these vast areas of new
territory that have been thus opened up
in the last year or two Is as yet very
sparsely settled. and development is
still in its most rudimentary forms. But
we know of certainty that develop
ment will go OIL over all these mighty
stretches. that farms will be opened up,
mines uncovered and worked, multi
piled flocks and herds be prodl in
duStries he established; that towns will
spring up and grow, pouring their ever
increasing tides Of traffic into the great
commercial heart Of this Northwestern
country lying at the head of the Mis-
sissippi valley.
But while this is going on in the re-
Gently opened territory, we must not
forget that development is going on at
much more rapid rate in the old terri
tory. Here and there, all over these
vast spaces, newcomers are continually
settling down, opening up new farms.
telling forests, delying in the mines,
and in hundred ways converting our
now idle and n-productive resources
into living fountains, whence shall
henceforth issue streams of wealth.
Nor is this all. Tbs old settlers are
continually increasing their cultivated
areas and their productive power. and
so making more wealth, more traffic
and more business; for very few Of the
farmers in the territory tributary to st.
Paul have as yet got all their land under
cultivation or anywhere near reached
the limit of their capacity for produc-
ton. In fact, the most OF them have
simply got into good condition to in-
