THE WORKINGMAN'S SUPPORT
OF INTERNATIONAL ARBI-
TRATION.

The action of trades unions on both
sides of the Atlantic is more than new
expression of an old demand. 1t expresses
what is largely new demand. The inter-
est of nearly all men engaged in industry
has long been opposed to war. Capital is
wasted at an appalling rate by the modern
method of lighting, and this waste reduces
the wage-paying capacity of employers.
War; as it were, steriliZes the EARTH The
workingman finds himself in less fruitful
environment because of the reduction in
the outfit of working appliances that war
occasions. You cannot beat the pruning
hooks of the world into swords and still
gather as much wheat as before. Wealth.
creating power shrinks and wages fall by
reason Of such wastes. Debts that have to
be paid by indirect taxation press dispro
portionately on workingmen. 1t is always
laborers more than Others who have to face
muskets; they are the rank and file of
armies. Even if they keep out of the field
they suffer by inflated prices Goods are
dear in time of war; measured in commo-
dities, wages in America were at their low
est in 1S65.-From the August Century.

"Well, them" roared Blewitt, Glitch on
to the stone boat, hitch on to the OK cart,
hitch on to anything. Have it your own
way"
'Why, we will 90 on horseback you on
the saddle, l on the pillion behind" said
the wife
"All right" said Blewitt, and away they
went.
Blewitt made some adverse remarks
about singing at church. which was led by
deacon with fiddle. The sermon was too
long, too. 1t lasted two hours On his
way home from church his wife appeared
to be in fear of something and urged him to
hurry up. He asked her what allied her,
and she told him, in trembling voice,
that his queer talk had made the minister
think him bewitched, and she feared he
would be burned or drowned
What kind of country is this anyhow
asked Blewitt.
Then Mrs. Blewitt reminded him that in
New England several had thus died, and
that everybody believed in it, and the
church was death on witchcraft.
'Then guess we better light out from
here" said Blewitt, as he clapped spurs to
his horse.
Away they went, rattle-te-bang, over
stumps and logs and stones, and there was
rattle and roar behind, and he knew they
were after him. They came to long
bridge over a brook and they struck it so
hard that down it went. Blew.tt and
horse and wife, and with a yell of despair
he woke-yes, awoke, for the chair had
tipped too far back and he was in heap on
the floor, with his head in pan OF apples
and his feet in Mrs. Blewitt's waste basket.
He heard the ratting sound yet and he
looked out of the window to discover its
source, and saw that the boys had started
the reaper in the field of wheat One of
the girls had just driven into the yard with
the top carriage and was about his hops.
His wife was just taking out his daily mail
and had offered him telegraph dispatch
| putting III ttlOl W ttlc ltChtl WIFI u sew
ing machine in the front room, and the
hired girl was backing the cooking range.
With pleasant smile Blewitt sauntered
out to the wheat field, and as the reaper
stopped, he said: Darn the old times.
These ere times is good enough for me-"
"What's that, father said John. 81
thought you was in favor of the real, hon
est, reliable, good old-fashioned times of
hundred years ago"
"Never you mind, John, srid the smil.
ing father. "You can 20 down and buy
that Thompson colt you've been wantin',
and let Charles have your side bar buggy;
and-say, if the wheat amt takin' no hurt
you may go down to Barnum's circus to-
morrow and cut the wheat next day"
He looked down at his diagonal pants
and white Marseiles vest and muttered, as
he went to the house: "These ere times
will dew fur me!'

Washington, July 21.-As one result
of the conference between Chairman
Babcock of the congressional committee
and Mark Hanna and Major Mckinley,
last week, the scope OF the work OF the
congressional committee is to be greatly
widened during the coming campaign.
The Republican congressional commit
tee from this time on will perform more
work in different fields than has ever de-
volved upon any previous congressional
committee. In the last campaign the
congressional commitvse confined it's
labors TO about 100 congressional dis
tricts, but in this campaign IL will widen
it's field OF operations to take in every
place in the United States where there
IL a chance for contest. The number
of campaign documents that will be sent
out between now and next November by
the congressional committee will reach
In the millions. From one state alone
an order has been received for 1000
documents, and there are a number Of
orders for 100000 and 100000. The ma
jority of these documents will bear upon
the financial question. The congress
sional committee will get out the cam
palgn book this year, and is now at work
on IL.
The Democratic congressional com
ginning work than the Republican COM
mittee. but will push matters from this
time on. Chairman Faulkner reaching
the city today and taking hold of the
work in earnest.

"We have" said Mr.. Donnelly, built
up our party in the face OF ridicule and
misrepresentation. We carried % cleo
toral votes four years ago, and our
party has grown steadily since. In two
years our vote in Minnesota increased
from $4,000 to $1,000. In the south and
west our speakers educated the people
on the silver question, and II was our
work which was responsible for the
declaration in favor of silver at Chi
cago. They stole our thunder, now they
want to bury our party. There Is no
personal hostility to Bryan here. but we
must maintain our organization"
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-07-21

Messrs. Davis OF Texas and Donnelly OF
Minnesota stood out stifiiy for the COM
promise. and declared that IL the Bryan
people could not be satisfied with this
proposition.it would be necessary TO take
the tight into the convention. which
would. they claim, present a spectacle
ss humiliating 70 the Populist party as
II would be edifytng to It's enemies.
They asserted that II would be impossi-
BILE to secure the assent OF the rank and
hle to an unqualified endorsement OF the
entire Democratic ticket. and that q
complete surrender would inevitably re-
suit In the disintegration and dismem-
berment OF the party. This they de-
clared they would never permit without
q struggle to the bitter end.
On the other side. Messrs. Weaver,
Patterson and Stewart spoke, and they
met the assertions OF their antagonists
with the statement that the party could
only be maintained by falling into line
with another party which had adopted
SO many OF the Populist principles. and
nominated candidates so friendly TO
those principles. They maintained the
opportunity was one which probably
would never again be presented to secure
the success Of Populist principles. They
contended that II was patriotic duty
to accept the Democratic nominees, that
wise party policy demanded this
course and that IL the opportunity was
lost. Bryan defeated and the country
continued upon the gold standard plat
form. the irreconcilables would alone be
to blame. Furthermore. they declared
that the responsibility should be placed
where IL belonged, and that the country
should know the facts regardless OF
individual sensibilities. They asserted
that whatever course the Posglist con-
vention might pursue. the success Of the
party. who were looking more to relief
from distress than to the advancement
Of the ambitions OF any man, depended
upon support of Bryan and Sewall. They
defended Mr.. ,Sewall as an acceptable
candidate, and declared TO attempt to
displace him would lead to irrecon-
cilable complications, prove impracti-
cable, and place both parties in a ridic-
ulous attitude.
Senator skewart was especially en-
phatic in his denunciation OF the un-
yielding spirit of the Middle -of-the-
Road men, and left the conference in a
most unamiable frame OF mind. When
the Bryan men left the room. they ex-
pressed the opinion that the differences
existing would be carried into the con-
vention. III this proves correct, the con-
vention will doubtless be replete with
interesting incidents.
Donnelly's Prediction.
Ignatlus Donnelly Of Minnesota, who
has beer In close conference with Chair
man Taubeneck a great deal OF the time
since he has been here. says that al
though he is In favor of maintaining the
Populist organization and putting n
straight ticket in the field, there is every
indication that they will be overriden,
and Bryan be endorsed.
