Another Sample of..Prosperity.


The Illinois Steel company has
just given striking object lesson
in Mckinley prosperity by locking
out 1000 workiugmen. The motive i
assigned is the desire to anticipate
strike. The company has been stead |
ily reducing wages. and consequent |
ly expected the workiogmen to quit. |
So /. slezed time by the forelock and !
locked them out.
The kear,lessness of this proceed

The millions made by the mem
bers OF the trust ought to have
satisfied them. but they were con-

continually strove to reduce wages,
thus warning simultaneously on the
laboringmen. the small manufactur

Now, at last the employees have been
pushed to the wall. Their wages
have been cut until they can
not endure the conditions So. as
the company sees it's expressions
about to bear bitter fruit, it CLOSES
it's doors on 1000 men.
The situation of these men is full
of gloom, For several years they
have worked on reduced wages. I,
save money for the future has been
impossible. Now, with their poo
wives aud helpless children, they ar
turned ont to beg, steal, or starve.

Capitalists Propose to Show What Can be
Done in Missouri.
Hughesville, Mo, April 9.-All
the arrangements have been made
for the erection of large plant at
this place for the manufacture OF
sugar from sorghum cane. Follow
ing are the officers of the company,
which has been organized to make a
practical test of sugar making in
Missouri: D. W. Mcclure, president;
Col G. E. Musick, vice president;
81. D. Shelton, secretary; I. I Viets,
L Fl. Durley, J. E. Scott and r W.
Wiley, board of directors.
1t is proposed to grow 200 sample
crops in this vicinity the present
year, for the purpose of making a
practical test of the adaptability OF
the land for growing sugar cane.
People here know, of course, that
Central Missouri can produce sugar
cane in quantities tina. less fertile
countries can not equal, but it is fol
the purpose OF convincing non resi-
dent capitalists that this test is tt
be made.
The estimates of Mr.. Shelton, th'
secretary of the association, from
practical tests, show that on an aver
age fifteen tons of green cane ant
forty bushel of seed can be grown t
the acre The price paid per ton TO
sugar cane is $3.50 Those intereste'
are confident that the enterprise vii
be great success, and that in tn
near future Missouri will be 1ivs
of Louisiana in the production c
sugar.
