Halloween.

Hallowe 'en Is a festival that should
be especially honored by young peo-
pie. There are so many amusing
and good-natured tricks, and so
many innocent bits of white magic"
appropriate TO the time, that no self
respecting youngster should allow
its observance to be omitted by care
less grown-ups."
There, for instance, are the SNAP
dragon, and the bobbing for ap-
Piles, " and the blowing out OF can
die hung at the end of stick sus-
pended on a twisted string and bal
anced by an apple so contriyed as to
deal smart blow upon the cheek Of
the too lingering candle-blower.
And there are the many charms aud
contriyances that, once consulted in
honest faith by rustic lovers, are
now the pastime Of boys and girls
during an autumn evening.

McKlnloylsm and Labor.

Some idea Of the real effects Of high
protection on labor can be mad through
an examination Of the methods by
which al wealth is produced and dis
tributed. Though obscurol by our
system OF exchanges, in which money
IS used to avoid the necessity OF
barter, the entire industrial opera
lions of the world consist ia adding
goods to the common stock OF wealth,
and getting back in exchange goods OF
ON equal value TO those made.
Whether in the simplest form OF
primitive society, or in the highly
complex organization OF industry IN
civilized countries, the process is
essentially the same.
Under free conditions for the pro-
duction of wealth the amount Of goods
each worker, whether on q farm, in a
factory or o mine, would get, would
depend on the value OF that which no
produced The total wages OF labor
would be the total amount OF goods,
divided according to the ability of
each worker. 10 add 10 the pros
perity of the whole people it would
DO necessary to increase the produc-
tion of wealth.
Keeping these facts in view, it can
easily be seen that if a system Of tax
alton is adopted by which certain men
will be enabled to take each year q
quantity OF goods from the common
stock without giving anything in re-
turn, there will be so much less for
division among the workers. This is
exactly what takes place under protec-
ton, That policy enables favored
classes of manufacturers to get not
only their fair share OF goods, but a
large amount over and above the
value of those they produce. This it
does by increasing the cost OF their
produces, and thus compelling the
producers of other kinds of goods to
part with more than an equivalent in
value. This is in practice the result
of tariff taxes which raise prices by
shutting out foreign goods.
1t should be clear to the workers
that when a few men get something
for nothing, Wages-the share of labor
products which goes 60 labor-will b.
smaller. No talk of "hIgher wages
through protection" can hide the fac
that if small class Of millionaire
have made great fortunes out of higl
tariff protection, these fortunes hav,
come out Of the earnings of labor. /
workihgmen who complain of low
wages will grasp this truth the reigi
of the protected trusts and monopolie
will be short.

a WORSE THAN THE HEATHER.
Voters Asked to Again Exalt the Dis
credited Idol Of DIcKinleyism.

When a tribe of African savages find
that their idol will not, or cannot
bring rain in time Of drouth, they set
to work and smash the luckless image.
It is not related by travellers that the
pieces OF the idol are ever gathered up
and again worshiped by the men who
were Disguised when their fetch
failed to answer their prayers,
Here in America we do things diff
ferently. In 1888 the people elected
a Republican President and Congress
under the promise that laws would be
enacted which would make everybody
rich and prosperous. In the effort to
do this the idol OF McKinIeyism was
set up, and the people were told that
it would increase employment for
labor, advance wages ana give better
markets for farm products. It did
none OF these things, but, on the con.
trary, put increased taxes on labor's
necessities, and, by restricting foreign
trade, lessened our farmers markets.
While the Mckinley tariff was in full
operation factories we're closed, wages
cut down, at least a million workers
thrown into idleness, and prices OF
farm products forced lower than ever
before. When panic and business dis
aster came in 1898, the Mckinley idol
was powerless to help the people who
had believed in it,
In 1892 a great majority Of the
American voters declared that McKin-
leyism was fraud, and elected q
President and Congress pledged to
abolish it. This was done in 1894, and
since that time trade aud industry
have been steadily improving. Now

and so smart and have such nice man

College life is very facinating both to

is waste of precious time. Education
should be mixed with labor. It should
be hard TO get, not easy.-BILI ARP,

Have You a Coed MemOrYl

Unless you are very young voter
you must remember the campaign Of
1888. In that year all the promises
of prosperity now being made by the
McKinleyites we're scattered broadcast
throughout the country. The people
believed what they were told and the
Republicans we're restored to power.
After two years the Mckinley law
was enacted. You no doubt remem.
Der the predictions of higher wases,
more work for labor, better times for
the farmer and increased business for
the transportation interests which
we're made by the defenders of that
robber tariff measure.
Do you remember how those proph-
ecies OF good times we're fulfilled?
Have you forgotten that Immediately
after the Mckinley law took effect
there began a period of labor troubles
involving hundreds of thousands of
workers who struck against wage re-
auctions or were looked out because
they refused to Gcceptvless pay? In
1892 the condition of affairs among
the strikers was SO serious that in five
States the militia had to be called out.
This was sample Of the promised
high tariff prosperity.
You know that the Mckinley law
was in operation all through 1898 aud
for eight months OF 1894. That was
not so long ago that you cannot re-
member the condition OF industry
and business IN that period. You
probably heard something about o
panic. You may have seen idle men
looking in vain for work. You at
least saw in the papers daily accounts
of banks failing, mills shutting down,
wage reductions and bankrupt bust.
ness men. Were those the signs Of
prosperity? These things happened
under the Mckinley law. What rea-
son is there for supposing that they
will not happen again If that law is
restoredP
Judging by their impudent pre-
lenses that more taxes are panacen
for all business and industrial ills, the
Republicans seem to have forgotten
that they went through the same per.
formanee eight years ago and that
their scheme was tried for four years
with disastrous results. Have you
forgotten it?
