Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Women Sup
planting Men as WaSe-Earners
In speaking of why so many women
are doing mans work, thereby reducing
his wages or throwing him out, Ella
Wheeler Wilcox said:
mot very! long ago a woman would
make a living for herself and family
when left destitute by washing, cooking,
tailoring or plain sewing. She could
hire herself u as a servant In many
different ways. But It has put a differ
END coloring tothematter since men have
built laundriee, set UP tailoring estab-
lishments and factories for readv-mada
clothing, invented the! club and its lux
uries for bachelors. hired men as cooks
and walters and Invented and put into
use the typewriter. When woman
found herself crowded out OF her accus-
toned avenues Of labor by these ad-
vances she turned to the men and asked
all sorts OF work-doing mans work and
gladly accepting q woman's'pay for It..
I've always find that girls or women
rarely work for themselves alone; there
Is usually a mother to be taken care Of,
either old or invalid or IN some other
way dependent Upon a daughter for sup
port. Oftentii' 8 there Is a father, sis
tiers and brolf out OF work and they
all lean upon ,a.girl who is willing to
slave for then
About the older women who work,
there Is so often a bad or lazy manEto
blame that men had better not look too
closely into the matter if they wish to
state so strongly that many OF our wo-
men work only because they want to
keep men out Of positions. AS for girls
not marrying now that they work FOX, a
living a young woman In Washington
made a very sensible statement not long
ago when she said IA girl doesn't want
to give up n twelve-hundred-d dollar place
for q six-hundred- dollar man,"

Washington Post: Bourke cochran's
speech In the house. August 26, 1893, on
the bill to repal the purchasing clause Of
the Sherman act, throws some light on
the, attitude OF Mr.. Powderly, who is
now advocating the election OF Mckinley
and the defeat Of free coinage. During
that gpeech Mr.. Cochran was frequently
Interrupted by Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Cochran
referred in. eloquent periods to the strug-
giles OF labor and the improvements In
labor's condition through long strikes
and suffering. His friend from Nebras-
ka, Mr.. Bryan, and his friend from Mis-
souri,, Mr.. Bland, he said in the name OF
labor, in the name OF producers, In the
name of the common people would make

that Terrence v, Powderly stands with
us? !.(hpplause.)
Mr.. Cockran-I Will answer that ques-

dealings OF life, honesty Is the best poll
