merlcal reports agree that whatever

look there may be largely depends,
directly and indirectly, upon the
agricultural prosperity now promised
In such abundance. This is entirely
natural, Of course, but WE had been
taught to expect that the work oil
congress would have a salutary in.
fluence upon industry. In this the
dispatches from the eastern manu-.
featuring cities cause grievous disAp.

been promised full time and an ad-
vance In wages as soon as the tariff
Dill became a law. The Amoskeag
mills of Manchester, N. H., employ
ing 5000, will remain closed for one
month at least; at Fall River, Mass,
the Wampagon mill will close for
two weeks, the Stevens mills for one
month, and the Borden mills will
begin a curtailment next week.
These factories employ 1900 hands.
One manufacturer attributes the
shut downs to shortage of cotton;
another to the fact that the market
Tor goods does not justify further
manufactures at this time. 1t is
unfortunate for them that they close
just after they have secured their
souls desire in the way of an al.
most prohibitive tariff, and they will
perhaps be surprised and disap-
pointed to know that certain sus.
picious folk look upon their action
as a piece of extremely bad faith,
intended, now that the market is
practically the American manufac-
turer's own, to restrict production
and force higher prices. The wage
worker has received no benefit as
yet. In only one instance have we
noticed an advance in prices. This
was at McKeesport, Pa, where the
National Rolling Mill company ad.
vanced wages ten per cent. Thous-
ands OF men are out OF employment
and 1t is not reasonable to expect
wages to advance when so manv
men are idle. The coal miners
strike, due to determined reduction
OF wages is still on, and threatens
now to involve all branches of labor
in the United States. Stagnation in
industrial circles is everywhere ap-
parent, and only for agricultural
prosperity, due to shortage Of crops
in foreign lands, would there be any
sort of change in our national condi-
ton. Agricultural prosperity makes
some increased demand in all lines.

The farmer is getting good price
for his wheat but so long as the rail.
roads haul wheat from Kansas CITY
to the gulf for Is cents per 100 and
charge 81 cents from Wellington, it
is evident that the railroads are
getting Is or 90 cents out of every
oushel that properly belongs TO the
farmer. Fact! A north and south
road owned by the people would
stop this pilfering from the farmer.

"IsuppOse that means, will Governor

be made responsible for its en-
forcement of law. As it is, the ad.
ministratiOn is held responsible and
the local people are helpless. There
is but one way for Governor Leedy to

win votes from the best element 10

thousand dollars of the saving

New England is much concerned

industries, especially that of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter Of n century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes III all parts Of
the world. Taxed hides would cripple
thisand other industries Her leading
senators pretend to represent her and to
put up fight for free hides In reality
they will. if necessary, sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sug-

its. Just why this is so should be a
matter for senatorial investigation, if

Grover Cleveland.


Grover Cleveland on 9th April at
lhe Waldorf banquet, in the presence
Of meu representing millions OF dollars,
arraiyned six aud half millions ofvot-
ers who had four years previously made
him president, and denounced them for
adh eruy to the principles Of Jefferson
and - :kson. Had he not abandoned
the principles he protested, and walked
in the footsteps Of his lllustrlous pre-
decessOrs, to-day, trusts. syndlcates
aud corporations would not have had
the government by the throat, and its
credit would have remained uulmpaired.
Ga the contrary. he betrayed the trust
repOsed III him by a contiding people,
and while president used the power OF
his office to foster those Illegal, corrupt
corporations, and never lost an Oppor-
tuuity without giving aid and comfort
to these eating cancers, which coutln-
ualIy knaw the very vitals of the labor
masses.
Let US diognose this great champion
Of moEopolies, and sum him. up III a
nut shell. Physically he is great OF
statue, but intellectually aud morally
he poss es>es a small, narrow mind,
sordid, selfish soul, with unlimited ego
ti>m, and boundiess ambition. whose
Thirst for official power is so great, he
would willingly allie himself TO any
party, could he be convinced he would
again occupy the presidential chair.
This Waldorf banquet is believed to
be the first primary especially arranged
by the satellites Of Cleveland, looking
to his candidacy in 1900.
The policy pursued by this champion
OF monopolies has done more to create
the financial disasters, which the coun
try has experienced within the last few
years than any man in the history OF
the country.
No government whose branches are
controlled by money power can long
retain its integrity and purity, It's very
existence is ieopardIzed, and It's dlsln-
tegration is only question OF time.
Severe structures have been made Oil
the three branches Of the government.
The secret bond issue by which mil
lions were lost to the people; the sugar
trust scandal by which it is iutlmated
senators were specializing in an article
which was under consideration OF the
tariff committee. The judiciary is even
assailed in regard to its decision on the
income tax. The labor masses realize
| the government III all its branches has
unjustiy Disseminated against them IN
favor of capital, and an unrest pervades
| the entire ranks Of the masses Re

| the storm is heard, the thunder roars,
| the tightening is seen to fla, now
there is calm, but at any time the
storm may burst upon this once happy
land. Ii is time to pause and reflect;
| the patience Of the masses may be eN-
hausted, what then?
Let all regardless ofpalty show their
patriotism by hurting from power those
who have prosecuted the government
and brought reproach on its fair name.
