THE GREAT APOSTLE.
Three Different Descriptions of the Kind

Some 50 or 40 years ago the pastor of u

the Wednesday evening meeting he would
give out some topic 10 DC discussed on the

was IT Paul. After the preliminary dcyo-

Birmingham, England,

Birmingham, England, which
believes in advanced municipal ideas,
has established a city public house
in the suburbs where the liquors are
bought by the corporation, and
retailed by a manager who has no
interest in the amount sold. The
morning beer limit for a man is one
quart, and the evening limit is two
quarts. This allowance is certainly
liberal enough to escape the standing
malediction placed on the "h'eyes"

Wages and Politics.

The extent of the voluntary ad-
vances in wages cannot be accurately
stated, but il is safe to estimate that
at least one million workingmen IN
this country have received an increase
of pay averaging ten per cent. Moth
inc of this kind has ever before been
known. 1t marks new departure
in the matter of the relations be-
tween employers and employees, and
teaches a salutary lesson with regard
TO the important questions OF capital
and labor. Furthermore, II has pro
nounced political significance, and
this is the feature of II that deserves
closest attention. The democrats are
trying to make it appear that their
party has brought about this remark
able result; but it is easy to see that
there is no foundation for such a
claim. The fact is well known that
when the present administration
came in, the country was prosperous,
and workingmen had employment at
good wages. Within a very short
time that situation began to change
for the worse. A period Of depres.
sion and uncertainty ensued, and
employers were forced to reduce
wages and curtail operations. The
conditions were the same as those
which existed under the preceding
republican administration, except III
a political aspect. Democratic rule
was the obvious cause of the trouble,
and no other explanation will answer.
In proof of this assertion, let II be
stated that there was a change III the
case when the republicans carried the
elections LOST fall. That was the be
ginning Of the improvement which
is now restoring the wages that were
reduced during the time that the
democrats had entire control of the
government. 1t is not to be sup
posed that this gratifying change
would have taken place If the poht-
zeal situation had remained the same
as it was a year ago. The demo
cratic party has not done anything
since the last election to revive busl-
ness and promote prosperity. 1t was
not until the last congress ad journed,
and all danger of mischievous legis-
lation was removed, that employers
felt safe in making calculations for
the future.
There was no advance in wages so
long as the possibility of democratic
trifling with commercial and indus
trial interests remained. The fact
that the republicans will have power
in the next congress to prevent loose
and hurried legislation is the one
to which the workingmen are the
most indebted for the advances
they are now obtaining. Their pay
would not have been raised, their
chances of employment would not
have been increased, if a democratic
house had been elected last Novem
Der. The advances in wages are due
TO political causes-to the assurance
that there is to be no more such
tinkering with the tariff and other
vital issues as that which produced
the hard times; and the people thus
benefited will bear this III mind
when they come to vote for the next
president.

waithams striking Mill Hands.

wALTHANi, Mass. Aug. 10.-The strike
situation here grows more serious, the
number of idle employees having been
swelled to nearly 700. In all departments,
as fast as the work in hand is completed
the operatives are given notice that their
services will be no longer required until
the trouble with the forty.six original
strikers is settled, superintendent Bailey
informed the several committees that,
while he is not in position to treat with
them, he has no doubt that if the ag-
grieved ones return to work and ask their
foremen for the increase of wages desired
the matter will be seriously considered.
The strikers say they will not return un-
der any such conditions.
