Wages Before and Since 1874

Thirteen years before the "crime of
'73," according to the United States
census of 1860, the average wage per
annum paid to each person was S2ss.
Seventeen years after that catastrophe
the average had increased 10 $4s4. That
rs, the wage-earner of 1890 got 6S per
cent. more than did the wage-earner of
1sCO. Not only that, but each dollar of
1899 would buy more of the necessities
and comforts Of life than would each
dollar of 1850. Does the ware-earner
think he gets too many dollars or
that his dollars buy too much? How
many crimes like that of 1873 could he
stand?

active work of the campaign, which
will not be long, but very interesting.
Like that of last fall the campaign this

whelming victory for the Republican

warmed-over silver Arguments

With the rising tide of prosperity
contradicting all of Mr.. Bryan's the
ories, and with the great food of gold
that is pouring into the markets of the
world from Alaska, from Colorado,
from Utah and from South Africa, the
silver fad appears to be doomed to an
early death. 1t will hardly survive an
other year. In Ohio, Kentucky and
Iowa the democratic and populist ora
tors already find it hard to get taudiences
TO listen TO a repetition of their old,
warmed-over silver arguments of last
wear.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1897-09-15

IT is not unreasonable to prophecy
that a man like w. j. Bryan. who was
first for free trade and then for free
silver will end up by becoming an ad-
vocate of free lunch. One tends to the
other naturally.

AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.
Many Departments Crowded to Overflow
ing With Exhibits.

, The Washington County Fair opened
Tuesday with all indications pointing
to splendid array of exhibits and an
unprecedented exhibition in point OF
attendance. The day was devoted en-
tirely to the receiving, entering and
placing of exhibits, and from early
morning until far into the day an end
/ less stream of vehicles passed through
the gates.
In floral hall there is an unprece-
dented display and many merchants
were forced to borrow from others.
The general appearance of this depart
nent is much enhanced by the applca
/ tion of electricity, with which the hall
and many exhibits are lighted. Elec-
trio fans and motors variously applied
are in pleasing evidence.
| The poultry department is entirely
| filed and exhibits Of machinery, etc.
are scattered all over the grounds. In
the cattle pens are five splendid neIds,
beside numerous single exhibits.
The program for today's entertain
ment of those in attendance is a very
interesting one, the chief feature be.

this afternoon will be a close contest
and all the boys are invited to partici-
pate.

To Put Ub Price of silver.

The silver magnates who have closed
their mines on account of the decline in
price are at last going about it the
right way to raise value. There will
always be a demand for silver, and as
the supply goes down the market will
go up. just as soon as the silver mine
owners resort to business methods in
stead Of politics they will accomplish
something. The wonder of it all is that
they have not come to their senses SOON

at the Gospel Mission.

Since the beginning OF the work
of the Mission, the annual Christ
mas tree has been one of its pleasant
features, and this year the fourth an
niversary was observed. About one
hundred people we're in attendance, a
large number of them children, and TO
some of them it was their first Christmas
tree.
The entertainment consisted OF songs
and recitations by the children, which
were much enjoyed by those present,
one song by five boys calling forth
especial applause. talk on the Sig
niticance OF Christmas" WAS given by
Rev. b. c. Wentworth.
The children have been taught the
blessedness of giving as well as receiy-
ing. Accordingly, the first present
taken from the tree was box tor the
Gospel Mission in Portland, containing
the pennies contributed at the Sunday
school, amounting to one dollar and six
teen cents. A short story was told to
interest the children, and explains to
them the purpose for which the money
was To be used. After this, Santa Claus
made his appearance from the fireplace,
aud began the distribution of presents
from his pack and from the tree. The
gifts were simple and inexpensive, and
as far as possible all shared alike. Fifty
fancy horseshoes with scripture cards
attached were prepared and donated by
Master Guy French for the tree.
Those uperintending the work desire
to express their sincere thanks to those
who contributed money aud gifts, and TO
those who assisted in the arrangements
for the tree, also to the Sunday school
class of Miss Lizzie Webb aud friend
for money to be used in purchasing
shoes for those needing them.

Wreatling with the Gar.

One of the stories of Peter the Great
beard in St. Petersburg is of the great
ogar's wrestling match with young
aragoon.
Once in the imperial palace, so the
story goes, Peter was at table with a
great many princes and noblemen, and
soldiers were posted within %he hall
The car was in a joyous mood, and. ris-
ing, called out to the company:
Listen. princes and boyars Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
me to pass the time and amuse the
czar?'
There was no reply, and the car re-
peated his challenge. No prince or no.
bleman dared wrestle with his sover-
eign. But all at once young dragon
stepped out from the ranks of the sol
diers on guard.
Listen, Orthodox car, he said, II
will wrestle with thee.
We'll, young dragon, said Peter.
II will wrestle with thee, but on these
conditions II thou throwest me, will
pardon thee, but If thou art thrown
thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou
wrestle on those conditionsf"
Il will, great car, said the soldier
They closed, and presently the sol.
der. with his left arm, threw the czar,
and with his right he prevented him
from falling to the ground. The sover-
eign was clearly beaten.
Somewhat in the spirit of Herod, the
car offered the soldier whatever reward
he should CLAIM, and the soldier igno.
bly, claimed the privilege of drinking
free as long as he lived in all the inns
belonging to the crown y outh S Com
panion.
