makers and writer's. As q matter OF
fact, there is but one policy that helps
labor to raise wages and that is the
union. The union is helpless, also, un
til the demand for labor is equal to the
supply. Under no other circumstances
can the labor wage be raised. The rise
in wages in this country from s125 per
day in 1910 to $40 per day in 1896 is
attributable to two periods Of financial
initiation. The vast increase in the
country's money caused by the discov.
cries of gold in 1849 put the idle at
work and gave labor an opportunity to
demand an increase. During thegreen-
back period production was enormous.
" increased and the demand for labor
became so great that another success
full demand for an increase was made.
During the present period Of monetary
contraction all wages except that Of
unionized labor have been greatly re-
duced, and in the face Of the constant
| Iy decreasing demand for labor it is ex-
tremeiy doubtful if even unionized
labor can much longer stave of wage
reduction. The reconciliation of sill
yer, it is admitted by ali, would greatly
stimulate production and as such a
condition would call for all the reserve
forces of labor the laboring man would
again have an opportunity to demand
another increase in wages.

"The doctrine of non-interference
has been invoked time aud again and
often in vain, to protect the individual
from trespass upon his rights, and now,
in this latter day, the doctrine Of non
interference is invoked when the cor
porations of this country seek TO
trample upon the rights of the people
and to disregard even the common
duties they owe to humanity. I insist,
Mr.. Speaker, that we who are in favor
of this bill and in favor of giving to
those people that protection which the
laws of congress alone can giVe-I in
sist that we shall be as jealous in be-
half of this bill as are those on the
other side who see fit to oppose it.
81 do not question their motives, but
if we can keep this question in this
position, staying here night and day,
the country will notice it, and public
opinion. The platforms Of both the
great political parties have declared in
favor of it, and, as has been we'll stated
here to-day, before the election bill
was passed here without a division. At
that time we who now favor it had
upon our side many of those who op-
pose it now, or at least their opposition
was not then made known.
Nov we are supported by the plat
forms of both political parties; sup.
ported by the almost unanimous senti-
ment of the press, and supported, as l
believe, by the great sentiment of the
people of this country, we can afford to
stand here and fight this battle. Upon
the one side are the interests of these
men and their protection, and upon
the other the cost of the railroads
which this reform will impose if it is
carried out.
II ask, Mr.. Speaker, how can we me-
asure the value of human life? How
can you say that s75,OOOOOO expended
in equipping cars outweighs 1900 peo-
pie killed and $4,000 manned? We may
talk this way about the lives Of others,
but what if these people were our sons
or our brothers? I ask of anyone of
these gentlemen what price he would
set upon the life or security Of a reIa-
tive? And how dare we hold at a
trifing price the lives and welfare OF
those not kin to us, while we hold as a
priceless boon the lives and welfare OF
those to whom we are related by bloodi
II appeal, Mr.. Speaker, to those who
are in favor of this bill to stand by ouI
rights here as a majority and protect
the lives Of the people who plead to us
for their protection" (Applause.)

LYING ABOUT LEEDY

The republican press in Kansas has
been publishing and making much
political capital of an article emanat-
ing from the headquarters at Topeka
to the effect that J. W. Leedy, the
fushion candidate for governor, was the
only state senator who in 1895 voted
against the bill making the necessary
appropriation for the maintenance of
the Soldiers Orphans home at Atchi-
son. D. N. Dunn of Minneapolis, Kan,
wrote the populist state committee for
a statement of the facts in the case.
The letter was answered by Bob Semple,
and in it he says:
"The substitute for house bill No,
2S7, an act making appropriation for
the current expenses of the Soldiers
Orphans home for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1896, and June 80, 1897, was
called up in the senate on Saturday,
March 3, 1895. tSee senate journal,
page 965.) On the question: Shall the
bill pass?' the roll was called, with the
following result; Yeas, 90; nays, none;
eleven senator's absent, of which Leedy
was one.
"With the evident intention of de-
ceiving the people in reference to this
matter, these papers have referred to
senate bill No. 226. (See page 451, SEN
ate jourual.) This bill made appropri-
alton for the erection and equipment
Of additional buildings, ETC., at the
Soldiers Orphans home at Atchison,
appropriating the sum of $4,000. (See
chapter, session laws 1895, page 33.)
On the question, shall the bill pass as
amended, the roll was called with the
following result: Yeas, 27; nays l. The
nay vote in this case was cast by Sena-
tor Leedy,
"This appropriation was for an entire
ly different purpose from that of the
previous one referred to. The first was
for maintenance of the Soldiers Or
phans' home and the latter appropria-
tion of large sum of money 100000
was for the erection. of new buildings,
and Senator Leedy labored under the
impression that considering the tinan-
cial condition of the people that this
matter could be postponed. The ap-
preparation at this stage of the pro-
ceedings in the senate and house had
been very large. You will remember
that the excess of this appropriation
for 80 over that of 1913 was S719,1 III, and
the senator concluded that it was time
to call halt. They have erected these
buildings and I notice by Auditor Coles
report that the number of inmates at
the Soldiers Orphans home has been
increased by one, so that the $4,000
evidently had been expended for the
accommodation of one additional or
phan who is being cared for by the
state"

iN 1882 William Mckinley was defeat.
ed for congress in the district from
which he had so long figured as the re-
preventative. The reason for his defeat
vas that in that year the pottery work
men at East Liverpool had formed q
union and this so enraged their en-
ployers that the leaders Fesummari-
y discharged. This broughton a strike
aad the men appealed to the congress
sionai candidates, in the pending cam
pasgn, for assistance. .McKinley's op-
pansnt readily gave his consent to help
'ens but Mckinley arragsd himself
gainst the uaion men, telling the men
Tat ne could get along without them
or shsir votes. The result proved he
Wes mistaken. To-day, as then, McKin-
log. in elinging to Mark Hanna, tells
union labor that he doesn't need their
votes. the the 3rd of November will
prove him again mistaken.

FRIEND 10 RAILROAD NEN

The great army of railroad employees
whom it is proposed to coeree into
voting for Mckinley, will read with
genuine interest the speech made by
William Jennings Bryan in the house
of representatives on the DIST of Feb
ruary, 1898. The bill under discussion
was to compel railroads engaged in in.
terstate commerce to use on their cars
couplers which would protect the lives
and limbs of their employees. Mr..
Bryan was a warm champion of the
bill. He said in his speech:
II for one am willing to stay here
till this session ends, because I think
this bill should be passed. Ibelieve if
is dictated by humanity, and I am not
willing, if I can prevent it, that these
men shall be killed and manned just
because some Of the railroads insist
that they cannot afford to put these
couplers on their cars. The only OBJ
lection that | have heard made-the
only real one in that letter of Mr..
Haines found on our desk this morn
ing-is that it would cost $40 a car, or
s75OO0,OO0.
"Some 23,0OO persons have been in
jured. Those Of us who have associated
with these men know that there is
scarcely one of them employed at any
length Of time in railroading who does
not have hand of, OF fingers of, or
foot of, or is not manned in some way,
and we have had produced here proof
Of the startling number killed. Nov, I
ask, Dir. Speaker, does it not appeal to
US, who sre Members Of the only body
which can give this relief because the
states are poweFlsss-does 1t not sp-
peal to us and to our humanity to pass
such laws IS viii give protection to the
lives and limbs Of these men?
