Ho,r ,eo,,ld Wilson do

If the sound money Democrats OF the
country decide to nominate a presidential
ticket, they must be careful that their eau
didate for the presidency is as representa-
tive in personal character aud in public
record Of the true principles aud spirit OF
Democracy as is their platform. 1t ex-Gov-
ernor Russell. of Massachusetts, had hved,
the honor of leading the old-fashioned JET
fer.oniau Democrats Of the country in such
a contest would probably have fallen to bis
lot. But there is another man who Is even
better suited in many respects than Govern
or Russell to the conditions o' the campaign
and the demands Of The situation. Where
could Democrats. who are Democrats indeed
and in truth and not in name only, mud n
more representative leader or candidate who
answered so completely to every require
ment of the crisis as that champion Of tariff
reform and of sound financial principles
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, Of West Virginia
Considered from every possible point OF
view he would make sc ideal candidate. In
the South thousands Of Democrats who can
not vote for Mckinley would be proud TO
Gas. their ballots for him, while in the
North. ESs. snd West his splendid public
record aud his sound esoaomic views would
appeal strongly to the confidence and aami-
ration Of the Democratic masses.
In such a campaign ss this, sectional con-
.ideration should have no weight. The fact
that Mr.. Wilson lives 10 southern State
and that he was Confederate soldier would
rather add than detract from his availability
for the present purpose His selection
would be q compliment to the, South, as
well as a practical expression Of confidence
in that aeeiion which would not be thgo~a
away
A Democrat Of the Old school, broad
minded aud well, balanced, strong aud hon
est in his convictions and sound on every
public question Of intellectual depth as well
as brilliaucy, of stainless public life and
private honor, pure patriot and a states
man in the best sense of the vOg3, the sound

PRODUCT OF EACH LABORER;
Carroll D. Wright Exposes Fallaoy
ofa Widely Circulated Statement
$445, but the Employer DID Not
Get All the Difference.

A signed editorial by Hon. Carroll D..
Wright leading The March bulletin Of the
Department OF Labor exposes the failacy of
statement which has been going the rounds
for tine past TWO or three years, purporting
to give the relation of wages to cost OF
production, generally appearing in the fol-
IoMinS Ior.u.
MIR. Carroll ID. Wright, the national
labor statisi,ian, has IIIured out that the
average rate of wages per year paid IN
the unitca states Is SoI1, ana tie average
product of each laborer is 81, SS. This
gives the employer e2.2 per cent. while
the man who ,ucs the woik ana produces
the results is allowed II Laitry ITO per
cent. In spite OF our boasieu Tree country
and high wages, the fact Icmains that tie
proportion OF the proceeds OF his labor
pad the American workingman is smaller
by far than that paid to any other working
man in any civilized n unClvillzcd country
on the globe"
Col. right in the editorial shows that
some amateur statistician has taken the
aggregate wages from the census OF 1850.
and, dividing them by the total number oi
employees, has found Il quotient OF $34I.
From other tables OF the same census di-
viding the aggregate of products by the
number of employees, the quotient. 81 800,
gives the product per cmploye. The as
sumption is then made that the diffcrcncc
between these figures goes to the employer.
no account whatever being taken OF the cost
OF materials, deterioration. etc
Col. Wrigh: then takes the figures OF the
eleventh census, that OF 1890, to Snow
what the real facts are. Bv sim''ar rairr-
lations he finds that the gross product per
CAPITA for tne numDcr oi ttlpoycS engaged
In manufacturing and MECHANICAL inuus-
tries was So 2O4, and the average wages
were S445-
Instead Of the difference, 81 ,759. going
to the employer, he shows as matter or
fact that OF the total product per capita
2O.IS per cent went to labor, 5b.Os per
cent for materials and 24.74 per cent to
miscellaneous expenses. salaries, interest
nrofits etc.
