picable work Of trying to excite
the prejudice of the workingmen
against their employers in the
present campaign. The Popocrats
can safely denounce the manufac.
turers and great employers of labor
at this time, because it is true that
they are almost unanimous in
their support of Mckinley and
sound money. So the past differ
ences that any employer has had
with his employees is recited, in Or
der aid in arousing the desired
prejudice.
1t is necessarily true that only
those who employ labor have ever
had differences with their en-
ployes. And it is also aselfevi.
dent fact that only those who are
large EMPLOYERS Of labor. ever had
important differences, or such diff
ferences as attracted widespread
attention.
Jones, Coxey, Tillman and .Bry.
ans other managers have certainly
left no record of contention with
thousands Of workingmen as to
how much they should pay them
for work. Their record is "clean.
They can profess the utmost at.

paratiyely small number will each
year have some differences with
their employees. These differences
are usually of short duration, and
are almost invariably compromised,
and as rule the best of feeling
prevails between the American
worklngman and his employer.
Yet at this time, in political
campaign, the doctrine is preached
that the employer is the enemy of
labor. Because the employer is
convinced that free silver will
injure his business, and decrease
or destroy his ability to continue
business, the laborer is told that
his interests are antagonistic to
his employers and in effect that
if the proprietor of an industry
fears that q certain policy will
decrease his business, it IS apretty
good chance for the workingmen
engaged in that industry to cripple
his enemy the proprietor. The
Popocrats would have the work,

finding q market for his labor,
if they can only be Undue ed to vote
for the free silver candidates.
The Popocrats say very little
about wages under free silver, or
the chances for employment.
They howl "classes against the

intimidation, but carefully avoid

fact that free silver coinage at Is

BRYAN AND THE LUMBER IN
DUSTRT.

BRYAN AND THE LUMBER IN
DUSTRY.
Minneapolis: Tribune: A corre-
spondent few days ago asked the
Tribune what was Bryan's attl-
tude OH the tariff question. He
said there werea number of silver
Republicans in his neighborhood
who would not vote for Bryan if
they knew he favored free trade.
In reply,we give quotations from
Bryan sspeeches in congress show.
ing that he declared in express
terms for lower tariff rates than
any which have ever been proposed.
He even characterized the sched.
ules of the original Wilson bill as
too high, and said he voted for the
bill only because it was a step in
the right, direction, i. e., in the
direction of free trade.
The American Economist of the
9th INST. gives an interesting chap.
ter of Bryan's record as regards
the lumber. industry. In his
memorable speech on the tariff in
the Fifty.third congress he said: :
Il believe we can make no per.
manent progress in the direction
of tariff reform until we free from
taxation the raw materials which
lie at the foundation of our indus.
tries. R.ugh lumber
has been placed upon the free list,
and only a slight duty retained on
planed and grooved boards. We
found a rate of 34.12 per cent, and
left rate of 1885,"
He was in favor of absolutely
free trade in lumber, but as he
could not get that, he advocated
placing the duty at the lowest
point possible. The Economist
has received reports from 290
Am erican lumber mills showing
the effects of the Bryan policy up.
on the lumber interests of the
United States. The reports give
the number of hands employed,
and the wages paid them by the
mills, during the month of July,
1892, about two years after the
Mckinley tariff bill went into
operation, and also during the
month Of July, 1896, about two
years after the Wilson German
tariff law went into operation.
Following is the standing:
Hands Employed. Wages Paid.
s Nj $' If 81? 81; {S;y' ~, H. S|$
FREE TRADE RESULT.
Hands idle in July, 1895. .............1 1878
Wages lost in July, 1885,. S,os5
The above comparison is a fair
one, since it shows the benefits de-
rived from the Mckinley policy. by
the lumber interest after two years
experience, and the injury inflicted
by the Bryan policy after two
years. experience of it.
Mr.. Bryan, in the extract from
his speech quoted above, favored
freeing raw material from ''taxa-
he calls tariff duty taxa
ton. In the list Of raw material
he enumerated rough lumber.
What was the net result of free
raw material in the lumber indus
try? Why, it simply drove 1858
men-out of a total Of "a, 339-out
of employment. The decrease in
the employment of lumbermen
through Bryan's low tariff policy
was approximately 43 per cent.
The loss in wages for the month
was 1926, SIS, or at the rate of 49,.
9O6,660 year-approximately 43
per cent.
Apply this percentage of loss Of
wages and employment to all the
mills of the United States, and the
total will reach $40, 900, 900 year
This is what Bryan's low tariff
policy has cost the country in a
single industry.

Bryan is one of the staunchest
free traders in the United States
and is afraid to urge his old policy,
so now advocates free silver and
class prejudice. T.. 80

CHAPTER II.

Just how long Mr. Powell pondered
that evening over the occurrence i'll the
barber shop he never told his most in
innate friends of after years. 1t is GER
tain, however, that he wrote no letters,
and he reached his Office i'll the morn
ing looking considerably fatigued. Be
fore the lapse of an hour he called his
clerk, John Kendall, to his desk and
told him he had made up his mind to
leave town for a fortnight. Possibly the
time might be extended indefinitely. 1t
all depended upon circumstances. 1--WE

actions which may be concluded with

he babe them goodby he laughingly told
them to make the most of their brief
holiday, speaking with sincerity when
he regretted that he could spare John
from the Office only till Monday morn
ing. The afternoon had been devoted to
the further arrangement of business
affairs and the preparation of a power
of attorney for Kendall's use in the
transaction of business. Sunday was
spent by Mr.. Powell in work that al
most any other man Of his wealth would
have intrusted to a valet, but as Mr..
Powell was unlike any one but himself
he carefully brushed and packed away
his own clothing, except such as he de-
sired to use during his absence When
he had arranged his belongings, he took
from his bookcase one Of its unused vol
umes and read until bedtime.
On the Wednesday following Kendall
informed the proprietor of the block
that Mr.. Powell had gone away for a
visit His rooms, however, were to be
retained, and the caretaker was eau
toned to sec that they should be in per
feet order at all times. This announce
ment caused considerable surprise among
the occupants of similar suits in the
same building. and they devoted no
small part of their time in specializing
as to what had finally induced "the
miser," as they called Powell, to take
one step outside his well beaten path.
