CAPITALS IRON HEEL

Grover Clevelsnd's Uttersnces Devoid Of

Ii is pleasing and instructive 10 watch
what Mr.. Cleveland calls the iron heel
Of capital impinging on the meek OF
toll - For several weeks now, at almost
every industrial center in the country,
employers of labor have been raising the
wages of their men. They have been do
ing il freely and unsolicited, under no
sort If pressure from organized labor,
and of their own volitiOn merely. The
reason is that business has revived |;
that the commercial outlook is full of
encouragement, and that being able to
improve wages they prefer to do so. IN
der like conditions the American en-
ployer has always done the same thing.
The converse of this proposition
would appear TO be that labor, when
evil times overtake employers, should Of
it's OVID initiative reduce wages. That
is TO say. labor should recognize the
true nature of it's relation TO capital as
promptly and as nationally as capital
recognizes its relation and its obligation
TO labor. This is not popular view Of
the subject, but il is common sense, and
although labor does not admit the fact
il is the principle which determines the
decrease in wages precisely as under
other and opposite conditions it operates
10 raise wages
When Mr. Cleveland started ont to
experiment with the tariff. and thereby
plunged every manufacturing industry
in the United States into such uncer
tainty that business could no longer be
carried Oh with confidence or safety, the
wage scale declined i'll every direction
and ceased entirely III many. Every
demagogue and every anarchistic news
paper in the country took the matter
up. 1t was too good IA chance TO miss.
The oppressors of labor We're closing
their mills or cutting down the wage
scale with the merciless avarice that al
ways marks the attitude of capital to-
ward labor. Had not Mr.. Cleveland
called attention TO the "scenes that were
being enacted at Homestead" III the
name of capital, and was it not fitting
time for every friend of toll TO rally
against the encroachments and extor-
lions Of the rich? Then there's spread
over the whole United States one vast
tornado Of frenzied rhetoric and unrea-
soning Pronunciation whereof the echoes
died away only last spring And now
the objects Of it all, or at least those
who have survived the abuse and the
injury heaped upon them, are emerging
into the cleared air and resuming work
with cheerfulness and amiability and
raising wages right aud left wherever
the opportunity offers. New York Sun.

not adniring ex-President Tyler, and a
mention of him on one occasion brought
out an anecdote. "A year or two after

The money question lis being agitated
TO divert the public mind from the real
issue-the tsriff. The two questions are
bound to go hand in hand The Demo

The Democrats hope, by agitating,

CARLISLE rORGETS TO THINK.
He Has Vet Ia Learn . Few simple Truths
In Economics.

Nothing can show how thoroughly the
return of prosperity is dependent on the
restoration Of the purchasing power Of
the people nan the tremendous error
made by Secretary Carlisle in his esti-
mates.
He figured that the federal revenue
for the year would be about $425, O0O,-
900.
His estimate is little more than
100, 00O, 900 in excess of the fact
He believed that the reduction Of du-
ties would largely increase consump-
ton, aud consequently not only make
up for loss in revenue by reduction Of
rates, but actually increase the revenue.
The good secretary forgot that the
volume of imports is not regulated by
their cheapness or DEAFNESS, but by the
country's ability to pay for them.
Cheapness and DEAFNESS are not abso-
lutte. They are only relAive-relative
to'purchasing power.
Mr.. Wilson and his friends said, 1--WE
want to give the people cheap things"
Mr.. Mckinley and his friends said,
1--WE want to give the people work at
good wages, SO they can buy things,
whether dear or cheap.
The fact that Mr.. Carlisle made an
error of % per cent III his estimate
shows that lie has not realized the truth
that where there is no purchasing power
it matters not whether things are cheap
or dear.
My readers will recall my humble
illustration:
A chicken is cheap in the United
States at 80 cents-if you have the 80
cents-and it is dear in London at 20
cents-if you haven't got the 20 cents !

| big enough to crush rowboat or small
sailboat. In winter particularly, it is
no easy task to row about in the tum-
bling waves in small open boat, with
the icy spray coming in from all
quarters. 1t ta.es stout pair of arms
and no little skill to keep the boat
head onto the waves, but Mamie Walk
er has both and it is one of her few
boasts that she has never been cap
sized, although she has been out in all
kinds OF weather.
The average little girl would find
some difficulty in sleeping in the little
lighthouse. In winter time the wind
roars and shrieks like a cyclone and
the spray is driven with terrific force
against the windows. The siren adds
to the uproar and the bell buoy con-
tributes it's mite. But the wild clash
OF sound is music to the little girl.
She has never been away from it and
it lulls her to sleep, the same as it did
in her babyhood.
Some day, perhaps, she may prove
herself another Grace Darling. Men
and boys vino have ventured out dur
ing rough weather in small boats and
have been capsized, have been pulled
out of danger by the inmates of the
lighthouse. Ten lives we're saved DUR
ing 1894 and eleven have been savel
30 far this year. The mother and
daughter do not see any heroism in
this work; they regard it simply as
part of their duty as lighthouse keep
ers. Mrs. Walker is a woman gifted
with stock of hard common sense,
and after she has dragged some luck
less man or boy from the top Of an up
turned boat and warmed him up. she
gives him sound lecture on his gen.
eral foolishness.
The pay is $55 month in addition
to fuel, light and other necessaries, and
much of this is saved. 1t is the
mothers ambition to send the little
iight-haired girl with the brown face
to some fine school, whore she may be
we'll educated. When the time comes
for Mamie to leave the reef the parting
will surely be sad one.

THE nAID OF ROBBINS REEF

the chances are a hundred to one that
it won't be forthcoming. The people
of New York and all the surrounding
cities know that 1t is Robbins Reef
and that is all. They don't even know
whether anyone lives there, whether
the light is operated in some mysteri-
Gus fashion from the New York shore
or the Staten Island or New Jersey
sides. None the regular vessels or
the ferries Of the harbor pass nearer
than half mile to it. Craft of deep
draught naturally keep clear Of it;
only venturesome little catboats 20
within hailing distance, and some of
these have suffered because of the
temerity Of the shippers. The tide
and eddies run with strange force near
the reef, and more than one boat has
had it's bottom ripped off by being
dashed on the sharp-pointed ledge.
If anyone takes the trouble and is
skillful mariner a visit to the light
house will reveal an interesting story.
1t holds a little family, who are shut
of as much from the millions of people
circling round them as castawsys on a
South Pacific island. These people,
living in the center of busting activ-
ity, know nothing of what is going on
about them. II the president of the
United States we're assassInated at the

composed of mother, q l0.year-old
daughter and an old grandfather. The

short distance away does not seem to

nishes YER pleasant home for the
Walker family, the lighthouse keepers.
The little girl, Mamie Walker, is by
far the most interesting member OF the
family. She is 10 years old now and
was born on the reef. She had never
been ashore until she was years old,
and today New York City is as much a
mystery to her as to the little girls liv-
ing on the western plains.
Seventeen years ago her father was
appointed lighthouse keeper on Rob-
bins Reef and he did his work we'll.
After eleven years of service he died

river boatmen have woven a neat little

Night had already come on, and with
it rising tide and cloudy sky. Hav-
ing never paid any attention to the
various machinery for unning the
light and other appurtenances, Mrs.
Walker WAS almost distracted, for the
sea had become high, heavy fog had
settled down and it was impossible to
seek assistance from shore, mile
away.
In this crisis four-year-old Mamie
came to her aid, and with the self
possession that betokened thorough
knowledge, gained by being constantly
in the company Of her father on his
rounds through the building, she
started the machinery going to signal
to mariners by light and buoy.
