trade relations OF the South were with
those states which cast their electoral votes
for Mckinley. and that no commercial re-

he had the courage to do 1t would. as a

Calvin S. Brice: A friend of his
had a scheme for building a tram
way across the White Pass to
connect with the lakes leading
up to the KlonHke. This man
telegraphed Brice a descriptions
of the project that fairly made
the wires glow. All he wanted
was 100000 to put the scheme
through, and it was sure to yield
S125, 1000 profit every month right
from the start. How much Of the
500, 1000 would Brice take? BY
return wire came the message:

The Victoria Times, in an edi-
torial on the expenses of living,
says:
Flour is 80 cents higher than it
was last year.
Sugar is nearly IS per cent
higher.
Pork is about 30 per cent
higher.
Mutton 25 per cent higher.
Apples 200 per cent higher.
Molasses 7 per cent higher.
Butter IS to 20 per cent niger.
Eggs 10 per cent higher.
This could be greatly extended,
as prices for all necessities of life
have largely increased since the
Republican administration has
been in power, but enough has
been given to show the facts of
the case. By the way, has any
one heard of a commensurate
rise in wages? With expenses
climbing all the way from Z to
100 per cent and wages stationary
or falling lower, what evidence
