Hundreds of factories that are

Hundreds of factories that are
said to have started up with
enormous numbers of workmen
are shown to be a myth. and
many corporations are actually
cutting wages by reducing the
hours of labor for their men,
while at the same tine the mer-
chants are all taking advantage
of the supposed wave of better
times to mark up the prices on
their goods. Thus we see that
the wage earner's great purchas-
ing power dollar is not half so
potent as he was made to believe
it would be after McKiuley's
election. That a whole lot OF
people have been horribly
hoodooed is becoming more ap-
parent to the naked eye of ever
the party-blind Republican voter.

A Story OF PRoeREss.-The report
of the Secretary of the Interior shows
that since the passage of the home
stead law there have been nearly 163,-
900, 900 acres of public land entered
by settlers, and over 1886, 900, 900
acres have been. acquired dnder other
laws. That ia to say, the area of set
Element and cultivation has been en-
larged within the lifetime of the pres
ent population of the country to Il @
extent of 49S, 1000, 900 acres. These
figures tell story that is without a
parallel in the history of civilization,
and one that can hardly be compre-
hended without the aid of the ina
gination. There are yet about 600,-
600, 900 acres of public lands, notin-
GLIDING Indian and military reserva-
tons, estimated at Sc, $50, 900, and
the district of Alaska; but the most
of this residue is considered worth
less for civilization.
