Democratic Northwest.
AND HENRY OJUNTY NEWS.
Lower Wages OrnO Wages.


lUfDunu democrat
One of the inevitable consequences
of the hard times and business stag
nation, and one of the worst effects.
will soon be realized by the working
people everywhere, as it has in GER
tain localities already. This is the
reduction of wages of all kinds. We
have about reached the point in
these gold standard times where the
ultimatUm will be lower wages or no
wages. The manufacturers and other
employees of labor cannot afford to
pay the wages heretofore paid, and
this is not the fault of the employers
either. No class of people are suffer
ing more from the business depres-
sion than the manufacturers and
larges employers of labor. The peo-
pie have 30 little money with winch
to buy the manufactured goods that
the sales of these goods are so few
aud at such low prices that manu-
faturers and dealers are forced to sell
at ruinously low figures. Then, in
order to meet this condition and save
himself from loss, the manufacturer
must reduce wages and run his busi-
ness on less expensive scale. Ii his
men will not accept the reduced
wages then he must close his shop
aid the men are out OF work.
We are not advocating this reduc-
tlon of wages, but we do not see that
Ihe employers are to be blamed for
this condition of affairs except in so
far as they sustain the present none
tary system which is responsible for
bringing about this deplorable situa-
tion. And when it comes to locating
the blame it must not be forgotten
that the workingmen, or at least a
majority of them, joined with their
employers last fall in voting for a
continuance of these standard
times. But. however that may be,
the cold blooded situation confronts
them that it will soon be a question
of lower wages or no wages with the
laboring people, if they have not
reached that condition already.
This is not what Mckinley and his
advance agents" promised in the
last campaign, but Bryan and the
Democrats warned the people that
they might except this II Mckinley
and the gold standard were chosen.
1t is unfortunate that the foresight
of a majority of the people was not
better than their hndsight. But
perhaps they will know better next
time.

Another requirement is that Silver
Republicans: and Populists must be
turned away. "Single Tax men, old
Greenbackers, professional labor agi-
tators, Socialists and all other
mischief makers and malcontents'
must be expelled. The income tax
must be repudiated and there must
be no attacks upon chartered capi-
tai which means we suppose, such
capital as the Sugar Trust, the
fra udulent nature of which is being
exposed by the Lexow Committee in
New York.
This is the price which, according
to Senator Hill, the Democratic
party must pay for his return to al.
legiance. The answer Of the Demo.
cratic party will be emphatic, un-
equalified and unconditional.
Senator Hill is a politician of such
q narrow grade; he is so provincial
in his his ideas and knows so little OF
the forces that operate in American
politics outside of New York that he
is wholly ignorant of the fact that in
the eyes of great majority of Dem
ocrats, one of the chief merits of the
Chicago platform is that it rid the
party of the Hills, the Whitneys. the
Belmonts, and other Plutocratic
parasites who fastened themselves
upon it for the sole purpose of di
verting it from its true work as the
party of the people.
The platform will not be changed
in any particular to please these
traitors and deserters. If it is chang
ed in any way in 1900, it will be to
make its antagonism to Plutocracy y
the more pointed and its demands
for the reform OF existing conditions
more explicit.-NeWdrk Advocate.

DENSITY OF POPULATION.
Most Thickly PeOpled Spot in the
World Is in New York.

From the Century.
Cross the Bowery now and you will
enter the famous Tenth ward-a true
tenement house district, forming part
of the most crowded quarter in all the
world. AS whole, the city of New
York below the Harlem river (the
Island of Manhattan) is more densely
peopled than any other city in the
world, counting 1892 persons to the
acre. while Paris counts 1852. Then
one sixth OF the entire population of
New York (reckoning now with the
parts above the Harlem too) is con-
centrated upon II acres of ground.
Here, on the lower east side of our
town, in the summer of 1894, there
dwelt some $4,000 souls, averaging
1865 to the acre and certain section
Of this great area-the Tenth ward
showed local acre average of 62626.
The most thickly peopled spot in
Europe Is the Jew quarter in Prague,
but it is cnly one-fith as large as our
Tenth ward, while it shows density
scarcely greater than that of the
whole of the III acres iu which the
tenth ward is contalned-4S5.4 per
acre. Nor is this the worst that our
III acres can reveal. Sanitary dis
trict A of the Eleventh ward (bound- :
Ell by Avenue B and Second street,
Columbia Rivington and Clinton
streets) contains 80 acres, and in the
summer of 1894 each of them bore
9S6.4 human beings. This is the
very thic6est, blackest coagulation of
humanity in all the known world. No
European place of anything like the
same size even approached 1t, and its
nearest rival IS part of Bombay
where the average population over an
area of 46. O6 acres is 1896. Yet it
should be remembered that, while our
acres are thus more heavily burdened
than any others, places can be found
in Europe. as in Asiatic towns. where
people are more uncomfortaby crowd
ed within doors. There the houses
are low. But New York tenements
are very lofty, and thus our floor
space to the acre is much more exten.
sive. Moreover although we are now
more crowded than ever before, our
sanitary state steadily improves. Dur
ing the decade which closed with 1874
our death rate was 1927 per thous-
and; during the one which closed with
1894 ii was 24.07.

Beans from Uncle Sans Bag.

Several days ago Congressman
Watson, of Ohio, sent several large
sacks of flower and garden seeds home
for distribution among his constitu-
ents. The papers announced the fact,
and for three days past there has been
a constant stream OF persons coming
to the congressman s'law Office in Co.
lumbus. Saturday man came up
and asked for beans. He was given
two packages. He demurred at this
and reaching over into the sack be-
gan to fll his pockets. When called
down by the attendant, the lover OF
beans said: II haven't got enough
for mess yet. 1t takes more than
quart OF beans to make mess for my
family" He was informed that 1t

What use is there in eating when
food does you no good-in fact, when
it does you more harm than good, for
such is the case if it is notdigested.
If you have a loathing for food
there is no use of forcing it tdown, for
it will not be digested. You must re-
store the digestive organs to their
natural strength and cause the food
to be digested, when an appetite will
come, and with it relish for food.
The tired languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you
will put flesh on your bones and be-
come strong. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Leb
anon Shakers contains food already
digested and is a digester of foods as

has been the most extravsgant in the
history of the country. The amount
appropriated will be upward of $780,
900, 900, making for the two sessions
considerably over a billion dollars.
How much will not be known until
the books are posted, as many of the
appropriations are indefinite in char
acter.
The financial trouble has not been
with the revenues, as many of our
Republican friends have attempted
to make out, but with the extrava-
gance of congress, which has been
reckless and wanton. The great source
Of outlay has been In ransion legisla-
ton, for even this expiring congress
has managed to pile on burdens in this
respect. The revenues for the last
fiscal year, being S327,OOO,OOO, were
ample for the needs of the govern
ment economically administered.
They would have met the total ordi.
nary expenditures of the government
in any year from 1858 to 1890. In
all but seven of these years they
would have yielded a surplus of over
fifty millions of dollars annually.
The fiscal year ls93-94, under the
Mckinley law, showed our first deficit
since 1869. The deficit was 500, 9,000,.
900 but we paid out that year the
enormous sum of Sl4, OOO 900 for pen
sions. The year ls95-96 showed a
deficit of $42, sos, 223, caused by the
payment of Sl45, 395, 229 for pensions
In the last fiscal year we paid out
Sl39, ,434 ,OOl for pensions, and a de-
ficit of $25, 1908, 246 was the result. In
seven and one-half months of the
present fiscal year we have paid out
$94, lO2,S45 for pensions and we have
already an excess of expenditures
over receipts of $4S,547,32l. In
seven years and seven months we
have paid 81, O43, 3O2,777 in pensions.
We cannot say the Republican par
ty is entirely responsible for this law
ish expenditure. The Democrats
have co-operated in making it posi-
BILE, and very largely, southern Demo-
Gratis, under the mistaken but natural
notion that as representatives of the
."lost cause" it was incumbent on them
to vote for everything in the way of
q pension demand made by northern
congressman.
The pension appropriations now are
close on $l50,O00,00O. There has
been little or no decrease, and any
quantity of new schemes are Matching
by special and general laws. Some
of them are utterly indefensible. But
this is problem President Mckinley
will have to think out for himself.
He will have the opportunity to show
of what stuff his backbone is made.
The fact is Grant and Cleveland have
been the only presidents who have
SHOWN disposition to make the pen
sion list in reality roll of honor all
the way through, by seeking to stop
the wild furore for pensions as one
way of coddhng "the soldier vote. -
