Gen. Sam Brown was chosen chair

Prosperity Better Than Politics.

From the New York World
The second list of establishments
that have increased wages within a
a month, published in the World yes
terday, was even more significant and
gratifying than the first. 1t shows
that the business Improvement has
extended. Beginning with iron, 'Fthe
barometer of trade" it has spread to
wooden, cotton and linen mills, pot
teries, cork workers, and even to the
garment-makers of the sWeat-shops.
The increase in wages averages II
per cent and has benefited more than
$50, 900 workmen since the first of
April. The better times have like
wise given employment to a great
many wage-earners who have been
idle. There is no more talk of the
''army of unemployed"
The Republican organs that attrib-
ute this Improvement to the expecta-
ton that their party viii come into
full power again two years hence
must be permitted to indulge in their
hot-weather vagary. It apparently
amuses them and hurts nobody. 1t
certainly deceives no one No very
large reasoning power is required to
reach the conclusion that if times i'm
prove and wages advance under a
tariff that is certain to stand fer two
years at least, it is not due to politics.
Manufacturers do not run their bust
ness as part of a future campaign. They
do not increase wages on the gam
bler's chance of getting a different
sort of President in a couple of years.
If the tariff which cheapens rav' ma
terials and lessons in some measure
the cost of living is found good enough
for 1885 and 1886, there is going to be
no call for tearing it up in 1897. AS the
Boston Herald aptly puts it, "people
will not be at all disposed to give up
prosperity for politics."
The better times have checked the
silver craze. They will likewise put
a veto on tariff-ripping.

THE writer, who has just returned
from Old Mexico, among other things
of interest says in reference to the
wages paid in that free silver country
about which we hear 10 much:
at is accurately estimated that the
high-grade laborer here gets only one
seventh of what the same grade of
labor does in the United States. These
are facts-indisputable- which every
miner, smelter, stroker, feeder, and
Taper should remember. As one
descends the scale the wages get
poorer. For instance, sheep herders,
who are regarded as first class labor
ers, get only So n month and one
bushel of corn.
"Bricklayers get only 40 cents a day.
II must constantly be kept in mind
that all the indges are computed on the
siirer basis, arhich must be dirided by
t~o ,cten its purchasing pouer is rom
sidered.
"The clerk in the store who draws
monthly s25 or $50 thinks himself
prosperous. The best walters in the
restaurants get $40 a month and find
themselves. The most expert seam
stress get 35 cents a day, and must
bring their own dinner If they go out
by the day. The best cook a COM
mand IS a month, but house girls and
men servants get only from SO to 90 a
month.
''The spinners, yarners, dyers, and
others employed in the various fac
tories get from is to so cents a day.
Rents In every part of the republic are
very high, higher than they are in the
United States, and a respectable house
or room, wen half as good as those
occupied by our factory hands, is en-
tirely beyond the reach of the best
paid labor. There 10 e~xaggeration in

Somebody called the Journal of Min
neapolis to the proof of the statement
that had been going the rounds of the
press, that there were LOO cords of sill
yer piled up in the United States treas
ury. The Journal has received a let
ter from the treasury of the United
States, with exact figures, which viii
reduce somewhat the estimate of bulk.
These r the figures given by the
treasury: "Of standard dollars, 92,616
cubic feet. OF subsidiary coin, 2,4SS
cubic feet. OF bullion, 16,51S cubic
feet. Total 1852 cubic feet or s72
1854 cords of silver in the treasury on
June 1, 1896"
To the plain people the supply of
silver, though not quite LOO cords, is
large enough for the present, and be-
fore coming any more they would
like some means devised for getting
these S72 cords afioat.

ticket this year. A correspondent of
the st. Louis Republic from Carthage,
Mo-, referring to this matter, says:
1t leaked out that another matter of
great interest is being contemplated
by the committee in the proposition
to include in the call for a State Con-
vention the nomination of candidates
on the State ticket. 1t was intended
that this matter should not be made
public; therefore, as soon as your o
respondent learned of 1t, he called
upon Cornelius Roach, who has been
prominently mentioned as a candidate
for the Office of Secretary of State be-
fore the next convention, to inquire
whether or not he had learned Of this
latest sensation. In response, Mr..
Roach said that, personally, he had nc
interest in the matter beyond the de-
sire to see Democratic principles up
held in the grand old State of Mis-
souri,. AS to the propriety of includ-
ing in the call for a State Convention
the nomination of a State ticket, he
said that it was a matter of total in
difference to him. He CURLY added:
at is o n of my business when the
nominating convention is called. l
have heard that a number, perhaps a
minority, of the State Committee ia
vored nomination of a State ticket if a
convention be called at all this year.
Any time suits me-"
