LABOR NEEDS RELIEF,

From the Buffalo News.
The condition of labor throughout the
country is attracting considerable atten-
ton. Nor Is it well to attempt to conce al
the truth. \ certain class of Democratic
papers try to shun any mention of the
disastrous results Of the attempt of their
party to conduct the business of the
country. They do not want to show
what hideous fraud their Free Ira de
policy really is. 1t is the duty, however,
of every Republican paper to disclose the
direful effects of the destruction of the
protective policy by the Democratic par
ty. The stupendous loss to the country
can be seen and felt on every hand. For
instance, Dun's Review. weekly publica-
tion. has no political bias, and is impair
tial in its statements. 1t merely reports
and reviews business affairs as they exist

the season Of golden harvest should

Providence has smiled with the COM
forts of life
To the young folks. however, this
period marks the beginning of the
end of vacation pleasures and they
are now trooping back from the noun

eager it is hoped, to begin anew the
task Of acquiring the knowledge neces-
sary to lead them into future useful
ness. With everything considered
September is n month to be heartily
welcomed. especially in this region,
where even the heat. occasionally
endured early in the month, is temp

JOYS of September.

A season of great enjoyment to the
denizens of this part of the world
opens today.
In addition to the probability of a
continuation of the delightful wealth
er now prevailing there is to come the
joyful day when the mystic letter "R"
enters into the gastronomic alphabet
and gives a formal and legal intro
duction to that most delicious of
bivalves, the oyster. cousin to that
less exclusive mollusk, the clam. The
table unquestionably receives material
additions by this lifting of the en-
barge upon some Of the choicest NOR
sells that ever tickled the palate of a
gourmet, and there is no marvel In
the gladness with which the week OF
promise Is awaited. The beginning Of

real state of affairs is exactly the op-
posite. While experiencing all of the
Ill effects of silver monometallism the
Mexican laborer enjoys none of the
alleged benefit, and his condition is
little better than that of the African
slave before the war. 1t is true that
business has increased in Mexico with
in the past few years under silver
basis but no one has been benefited
by the increase save the manufacturer.

is offered him in the way of cheap
labor that may be paid for in fifty cent
dollars.
How does this picture suit the la

free coinage in order to make wages
high?

out again and involves several other
branches OF labor; the iron furnace men
of the Shenango Valley resist n reduction
to the wages of May. 1895, though Mahon-
Ing Valley workers do not; the iron work.
ers throughout the country are striving to
cut down cost in order to keep in opera

are stopping; the suspension of cotton
mills has become more general and over
100000 spindles are said to be idle at Fall

more of the entire producing capacity in
the country; the rubber works have most

wages have been reduced"

How can labor help being more dis
turbed than usual under such condi-
tions? Note the true returns of trade fail

Mexican PrOsperity,

The extracts from Mr.. Archibald
Butts circular which appear on an
other page Of The Tribune today ought
to effectually silence one of the loud
est of silver guns of the present cam
paign. The alleged prosperity of Mex
leo under free coinage has been one
of the most rosy arguments that have
been advanced by the promoters of
the cause OF debased currency. So
much ado has been made over the in
crease in business in Mexico follow
ing the adoption Of free coinage that
the average reader would expect ~
find day laborers in that country re-
yelling in the comforts Of life with
plenty Of silver cash to spare.
Mr.. Butt shows conciusively that the
