United States was built al Beverly, Mass,
in 1857. Eight years later good quality
OF Gpogia cotton was offered 10 New York

There exists a belief that some of the
street railway companies in this city. are
engaged in serious affort to prevent their
employees. from becoming members of
protective union which has been organized
here and which promises to bring about re-
form essential to the entirely rational hap
piness of this particular class of wage
earners. 1t is. of course within the prov
ince of any individual or corporation to de-
clare that none of its employees shall belong
to a trade union and il is also legal for the
Directors, to discharge from their employ
those who shall violate that rule but If
they do these things they must not be. sur
prised should they sometime or other be
sacrificed by public sentiment-which on
occasions is very apt to make itself felt
The history OF the business world proves
conclusiyely that those men who are pos
sessed of the mental force necessary 20
successful organization are. as rule. the
best worilmen- Sometimes 1t has happened
that the organizations have tyrannized
over their employers, but instances where
this has been done. except in reprisal, are
rare The blacklist and the boycott may
be bracketed in the same category. Both
are UN-American weapons.

In his efforts to preserve the national
credit. President Cleveland has had and
still has the support of the great majority
of Americans. but it seems to be evident
that in the negotiations for the boHds soeg

financiers with whom the private arrange
ment for the loan was made. He has
pledged the nation tn pay some sixteen
million dollars of additional interest on

There is an element Of satisfaction in the
fact5 that the defeat of the geld bond issue
wasi accomplished without Representative
Bry$n's being obliged to lay down his life.
His expression of willingness to do so
makes the pleasure of observing that he
didn9 have. to all the greater. Just how or
why he was to lay down his life is not
made clear, but the enthusiasm of the
patriot, like that of the poet. makes it pos-
sible to- perceive many things that ordi-
mary people find obscure. 1t is proper to
remind MIR. Bryan, however, that the habit
of being; willing, to lay down his life is one
which. grows upon man. While seldom
fatal, it is to be avoided. for the sake of
friends anil dcquaintances, who should be
spared unnecessary anxiety
