THE LABOR PROBLEM

No one will pretend that there is a
scarcity of laborers in this country On
the contrary, it will be universally ad-
mitted that there is a surplus. The
problem is how shall all be given en-
ployment at living compensation? In
absorb great numbers who would have
to be provided for otherwise, and many
of the European nations encourage emf
grafton to reduce the surplus of their
working population.
Neither of these fields are open to us.
We have not large army and do not
intend to have one, and this country has
been and continues to be the dumping
ground for the surplus laborers of the
populous countries of Europe.
There have been many plans sug-
gested for solving the labor problem,
and, in order to avoid involuntary idle
ness many things no doubt will have
to be done before the difficulty will dis
appear altogether
Many intelligent men think there
would be far less idleness were there
better distribution of labor. They hold
that too many engage in certain kinds
of work. and too few in others. that
there is too much concentration in To-
calities where the more important in
du5tl les are carried on, and in time or
unusual dullness, which frequently hap
pens, large numbers are thrown out of
employment. They say this would ro;
take place to the extent that has been
common of late, were there a more in
telligent distribution of labor and less
concentration in the cities
Unquestionably there is something in
this view. Men engage in certain occu-
patton for the reason that it is conson-
ant with their tastes, or because there

FOOLED AGAIN

The overworked apologists for the
shortcomings of the Republican admin
istration are trying to discount the eff
fects of the numerous and great strikes
that are being inaugurated in various
parts of the country by saying that
strikes are favorable indica tion; that
men do not strike when the times, are
as hard as they have been for six years
past. .t
In good or improving times men strike
for more wages if that is what the apol-

HAD BRYAN BEEN ELECTED

Today we all would be in rags,
Had Bryan been elected;
For shirts we'd all wear gunny bags
So gold men all expected;
But now McKinley's on the throne
The house and senate his alone,
We're prospering, we'll have to own,
When-we're protected.
They told us money would be tight
If Bryan got an inning.
1t must have been that they were right,
And not just simply Ginning,
For now with confidence at hand,
The tariff tearing up the land,
It's almost more than we can stand
And keep on grinning.
Hard times can come again no more,
You hear me twitter. sonny?
With prices higher than before.
Well all feel ah-fool funny!
The east shall pay us more for fruit,
They'll tax us on their goods to suit;
Well all get rich, if we're astute,
Though lacking money.
When England draws away our gold
Twill give us mighty pleasure.
Our banks have more than they can hold
OF shining golden treasure,
And when our dollars are so Sound
We have to chase the echoes round
To catch a nickel. I'll be bound,
Twill fill the measure!
But, OH! just think what might have been
Had Bryan only got there
Wed now be awful gaunt and thin
If he had ever "sot' there
Our dollars would have been so cheap
That every man would have a heap,
But starve and have no place to sleep
Qs there some rot thereO
Good times are coming on the breeze"
From Wall street "Clews' are dropping.
Well chase them on our bended knees
And never think of stopping!
When bankers tell us times are good,
We all believe them as we should;
But times are best with Satan's brood
When IS a popping!

ing for more wages. They are striking
against a reduction of wages against
the last straw that would surely break
the camel's back. t.ia-L
All over the country the workingmen Of
the country are working faithfully for the
minimum wage. Things have gone from
bad to worse during the past six years,
and no man can honestly say that the
working men have not borne their share
of the brunt and the hardship. Now,
when a Republican administration is in
power and they are having it dinned
into their ears that the era of prosper
ity is at hand, they are being asked to
accept large reductions in wages. In
are given granite rocks. The Her
aid is not at this time, discussing
whether the reductions are justifiable.

an immediate and generous return of
prosperity if they would only turn in
and work for the election of Mr.. McKin-

to elect him, saw him inaugurated with
great flourish of trumpets, and then
they leaned back to rest, and to get
breath and renewed strength with
which to tackle the promised good times.
Istead of reveling in that happy season
they are forced to reduce wages again in
order to keep their business moving If
that is the kind of prosperity we are to
have, let US go back to the old hard times

The principal reason, as stated by

silver coinage Is that all international
trade balances are settled and paid in
London, and the London clearing house
will not take silver in payment except
as commodity, and as the price of sill
yer Is fixed there the Londoners can
cheat us. He ought to add, what is the
whole truth, that they will not take our
gold coins at the value stamped upon
them at our mints, but they are weighed
and taken at their commodity value.
