The Commissioner Of Labor has Just
completed report upon strikes, the

During the years 1891 and 1892 the
country was under an Administration
favorable to protection. During the
later period to June 80, 1894, we were
afflicted with a free trade Administra-
tion for sixteen months and the GER
tainty of it during the other two
months.
During the free trade year and
half there were 242, 245 more employees
made idle by strikes than in the two
full years of protection.
During the free trade year and
half the loss of wages to employees was
$15, 979, 093 more than in the two full
years of protection.
During the free trade year and a
half the loss to employers of labor
was $6959, 31S more than in the two
full years of protection.
Bringing the facts down to an aver
age monthly basis, we have the fol-
lowing:

During the present free trade Ad-
ministration there we're 0,482 more
employees idle every month, through
strikes or lockouts, than during the
protection period. The loss of wages
to employees was 81, ,294, ,S67 month
more under Mr.. Cleveland's regime,
ard the loss to employers was $780,
003 month more. Both employers
and employees have common ground,
and good reason, to oppose anything
that will ever help to restore to power
an Administration favorable to free
trade.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1895-12-20

This country has furnished so many
remarkable criminals that it is a relief
to the Atlanta Constitution to find
Europe coming to the front with a
similar exhibit. The latest monster
is claimed by Germany. He is named
Springstein. blacksmith residing at
Prenzlau. Within the past few months
he has poisoned his wife, mother and
brother-in-law, the latter's sou, a
goyerness, one of his apprentices and
a neighbor's daughter. He is also
accused of drowning his own father.
His other victims were poisoned by
the administration of strychnine. The
case will rank with the most celebrated
irials in the criminal annals of Ger
many. Springstein's motive for the
commission of these murders is not
known and the general opinion seems
to be that he is simply one of those
exceptional monsters who appear from
time to time in the worlds history
1t is safe to say that he will not be
acquitted on the ground of insanity
nor will he receive any misplaced
sympathy. The Germans never make
pets of their big criminals and they
turn them over to the exectioner with
out any unnecessary delay.

LAPORTE, PA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20. 1895.

how Jenny had looked when she came
toddling out to meet him, wearing it
for the first time.
1t was 8 o'clock when he went back
to the kitchen. His wife looked up
from the weekly paper she was read
ing and said:
why, Jason, you amt been up in
the attic all this time? Is'posed you'd
come down an gone to bed long ago."
"Pm goin' right away. Set me out
some breakfast on the table and fix
the coffee so I kin make me cup
fore I start"
"I shall get up an get you good
hot breakfast myself, Jason"
"You needn't to, Marthy, it'll be so
early"
81 shall get up just the same. How
husky your voice is, Jason. I'm 'fraid
you took cold up there in the attic.
What ever were you doing up there
all this timer"
"Oh, just lookin' over some old
things didn't take any cold. Bet
ter go to bed, Marthy. if you're bent
on gittin' up at in the mornin'."
Why. Jason, how'd you happen to
come in at the front door?"
1t was 9 o'clock at night, bitterly
cold and stormy, and Christmas Eve.
Jason had just come home from He
bron. His wife had heard him drive
into the barnyard and had made haste
with her supper that it might be
ready and hot when he came in. She
had also bathed her eyes hastily in

cold water that he might not know
that she had been crying. But he
would know if he had any discernment
at all, for she had been crying nearly
all day. Her heart had been so heavy
with thoughts of Jenny.
"How'd you happen to come in at
the front door?" she asked.
"You mustn't ask questions SO near
Christmas time" he said in voice SO
light and joyous that she looked up
quickly. He picked up a lamp and
said:
II want to go into the parlor min
ute before supper.
A moment later he called out
cheerily:
"Come in here an see your Christ
mas gift, ma. It's such q beauty l
can't wait until morning"
''Better wait until after supper any
how. It's all on the table"
"No; come in here first"
When she reached the open door of
the parlor she saw her husband on his
knees between a little boy OF about
four years and little girl of two, his
arms around their waists. A little wo-
man with a thin, pale, tear stained
face showing beneath her cheap little
mourning bonnet, was standing be.
hind Jason.
"And this is Walter Jason, named
for me, and this is Marthy Isabelle,
named for you," said Jason, joyously.
"Come, come ma; stop huggin' an
cryin' over Jenny an take look at
your gran children. What do you say
to them for Christmas gift?'
She knelt down and took them in
her arms, saying incoherently
'Jenny-Jason- oh, dear-I-I-
you dear, little thinGs Gran'ma's
babies! You darlings You darlings!
You're the best gift, the sweetest gift,
the dearest gift in all the world The

essarily resides there more or less, has
been carefully noting the conditions
OF English agriculture. His investi-
cations have extended over consider
able time past in different parts of
that country. He wrote recently,

of England, do not discuss the tariff
to any extent. They are all, and are
growing more SO, protective as to their
own industries and England will soon
have to change front or she will kill
off the few farmers yet left. In fact,

money in agriculture to pay rent and
tithes."
English agricultural statistics, show
ing the decreasing area planted to
staple crops every year. sustain this
sentiment.
