MORE IMPROVEMENT.

In big head lines, Dun announces "unmis-
taxable signs of improvement in trade.
CHANGING over the report, we found that cotton
advanced and fell back; ditto, wheat; wool off
one-half cent; hogs declined; so, also, with
corn cotton goods loves: on record, with little
demand, and WOODEN goods dull; and there are
FAB failures. Wondering where the "unmis-
taxable signs of improvement" came in, we
look little closer, ard found that "loans in.
crease" We are always on the highway to
unending prosperity when loans increase. So
thinks Dunn. So thinks the money-lender.
But, there are other people besides The borrow
er and lender-just few-and they ale the
fellows that are ''blowed out" or on the road.
Still, we are prosperous. The cotton grow.r
is prosperous, the hog man is fat, and the cor-
raiser paid his taxes, and had enough over for
new pair of overalls; and the operatives, with
falling wages, or no wages at all, are "prosper-
ing' down to soup and starvation.

A Tariff Tip.

The leading dry goods house in Pittsburg
has received this tip from its Eastern purchas-
ing agent: 'In view of the heavy tariff OH
wool and wcolen manufactures in the pending
Dingey bill, there is stfening in prices here,
and suggest that yon at once add IS per cent
to the selling price of whatever WOODEN or part
WOODEN goods you happen to have on hand"
Which of course very clearly proves to Repub-
lican idiots the Republican contention that the
foreigner pays the taX.-Pittsburg Kansan.
JOHN E. SEARLEs, secretary of the sugar
trust and the head of the newy-born cotton
cotton trust. says; "You might as we'll try to
stop the tides as tC attempt to arrest the pro-
eress of trusts We are of the opinion that
by the time the campaign of 1900 rolls around
the question Of trusts will be bigger issue than
the silver question. We might have mountains
of silver coined into dollars, and as long as
trusts, corporations and combines arr allowed
full sway, as now, the people of this country
would experience very little relief.

GLOBE-DEMOCRAT YARNS.

The Gobe-Democrat is great paper, but it
takes thick skulled man to believe it. On
Oct. 5th, that paper stated that there was $50
much prosperity in the election of Mckinley
that some of it was bullying through the cracks"
Five days later, prosperity was to set i'll iinme-
diately after the election Ten days later, the
business boom was to be equal to anything in
the past. A few days later, the business men
were informed that they would have so much
trade after the election of Mckinley that they
would have no time for anything but trade,
About the same time, the Globe announced that
orders were pilng up on the manufacturers,
goods to be paid for when Mckinley was elect
ed. Republican papers weie all filled with the
same kind of truck. The papers knew they
were EARNING to their readers, to get votes.
The votes were given; Mckinley elect
ed az, but prosperity has not struck single
business but that of the office-hunter, and only
about one in thousand of the Office hunters.
That is not all: prosperity is not even i'll sight
after six months of McKinleyisnl--won't be in
sight six months from now, and there will be
more bullying OF naked limbs from the cracks
in overals than any other kind of bullying dur
ing the whole reign of McKinleyism.
Even fools can be undeceived. The promise
of immediate prosperity not having PANIED
ont new yarn is necessary. The bosses are
laying their heads together i'll deyising another
bait with which to catch more suckers. The
office wave has reached its elimination, and
more people went down than reached dry land.
The office card is played, and if the voters had
know to a certainty who would be the winners,
Mckinley would have had fewer votes by tens
of thousands Hard times cannot now be
blamed on the Democrats. To blame hard
times on the Devil would be to run serious
risk of offending friend. 1t would not do to
defeat tariff bill and swear the times off onto
Cleveland and the Wilson tariff. Unfortunate
ly for that scheme, the manufacturers have the
sworn pledge of the bosses, and high tariff has
to pass or the manufacturers will be offended.
TO offend the manufacturers would be almost
as bad as offending the Devil.
A straight-out yarn will hold dullard, or
man who wants an Office, but it won't hold in
telligent people. Truly, the bosses are in a
tight place

McKINLEY'S PICUTRE
Torn Down and Trampled by 900 Discharg-
ed WOrkmen.

WILMERDING, Pa, May 3I.-Six hundred
angry and disappointed workingmen, who pa
raded and labored and voted for Mckinley six
months ago, believing that he would be, as he
was heralded, the "advance agent of prosper
ity," Saturday night tore down the picture of
room. 1t had hung there in an honored posi-
ton. They stamped it under foot and tore it
into shreds
Seven months ago so strong was their belief
cess that they formed themselves into clubs and
purchased uniforms to wear in parades When
the famous parade took place i'll Canton, O.. IN
honor of the Republican candidate, these work.
men paid their own expenses to the town SO as
to take part in the demonstration.
The scene when the portrait of the president
was trampled upon and then torn to bits was
dramatic one. 1t began in the ''ftting room"
of the Westinghouse Airbrake Co. Four hun
dred of the men, all skilled mechanics, and
dismissal. "Dul times and lack OF work" wa,
the cause assigned by the company.
The discharge was a bitter blow to the men,
and as they were told there was no more work
ograph of Mckinley, which had been placed OH
the wall during the days when they believed in
him.
"Look a: Mckinley, there!" he shouted,
pointing to the picture. ole was the advance
agent of prosperity It's fine prosperity he's
brought us. ~
"McKinley's prosperity be damned" said
another. eve made mistake when we be-
lieved him. But we won't do it again"
"Bryan was the real thing. The working
men had show if he had been elected" cried
a third
By this time the temper OF all The men had
been stirred. One man shouted: Tear that
picture down.
In moment the big picture was pulled from
the wall AS the leaders erked it down they
tore it into bits and threw the pieces to the men.
"Therc's your prosperity" they shouted"
"Theres the man who was going to bring good
times to all of us
'lte won't 1901 us again, was tie cry MS
the men trampled upon the picture and rubbed
it into the dirt on the floor
Then, leaving the factory, they went to the
rooms which had been used as headquarters of
their Mckinley club The walls were covered
with insignia of the last campaign and proni-
nent among them was silk banner bearing
the picture of Mckinley and the words cad
vance Agent of Prosperity"
In a moment this was torn from its place and
thrown OH the floor. Then it was trainpled
and spat upon while the men continued their
work of destroying everything which reminded
them of the part they had taken in the cam
pagn Not until the walls were bare did they
leave.
But even then they were not through Hur-
rying to their homes they collected the uniforms
and regalia they had worn at the famous parade
in Canton. These they brought to All open lot
in front of the factory. There they piled the
helmets and caps in heap and with torches
they had borne in McKinley's cause, set FIRE to
