Bryan's Good Work.

One of the most efficient workers
for the cause Of Republcanism is
William Jennings Bryan. Wherever
he goes the Republican majorities in
crease. In Sedgwick county this
state he was paid $2,4OO for two
speeches and the Republican gain was
1920. lake it in Ohio and even more
positively beneficial results followed.
Mr.. Bryan began in Williams coun-
ty and the Republican gain there is
455. He went to Defiance, where the
Republican gain is 800; then to Paul
ding, where the Democratic gain is
So; then to Van Vert, where the
Democratic gain is 2. So he closed
the first day with Republican gain
Of l,S45 and a Democratic gain of 65;
net Republican gain 1880.
On the second day he started in
Knox county, where there is a Repub-
lican gain of 1871; then to Licking,
which shows a Democratic gain Of
1928; then to Perry, with Republican
gain Of rs. And he closed his second
day with a Republican gain Of 267 and
a Democratic gain Of 1928. Net Re-
publican gain "A.
The third day was opened at Hook
ing and gave Republican gain Of
l7S; then to Vinton, with Demo.
cratic gain Of AZ; then to Jackson,
with a Democratic gain Of IS; then to
Pike, with a Republican gain of 257,
making Republican gain Of 1856 and
a Democratic gain Of l2o. Net Re-
publican gain Of Sl5, 0n yI1Of
So that in Mr.. Bryan's three days
tour he made a Republican gain where
he spoke Of 1888, or an average Of
over 500 day. II he can be kept at
work until 1900 what Republican
sweep there will be!

Signs Of the Times.

Whittier are we driftingP Are we
driftingp Are we not growingP
Read, reflect, clarity and 60 on, as
you consider the following:
In 1870, 80 per cent of persons in
our country over ten years old were
in gainful occupations; in 1880, "a
per cent; and in 1890, So per cent.
By gainful occupations is meant all
employers, farmers and professional
men. One Of the best signs Of i'm
provement in a country is an increase
Of per cent in those engaged in indus
trial occupations. From 1870 to 1890
the increase was 4 per cent.
In 1870 there were 1904, S69 chill
dren from ten to fifteen years Of age
in our country and more than ID per
cent Of them were at work. In 1890
less than 9 per cent Of them were at
work. That means that child labor
was reduced while the number Of en-
ployed increased.
In 1870 the total number OF men
workers was 1869, 635, or little
less than 2S per cent Of the total pop

ulation; in 1890 the number was 49,
S2l, 900, or over 80 per cent Of the
total population. During the same
period the number Of women workers
increased from 1886, 1888 to 9,914,571,
or from A to slightly over 6 per cent
Of the fetal population.
Thus the proof is absolute that the
relative proportion Of both male and
female workers to total population
has steadily increased, while that Of
children has fallen off. A hopeful in
crease in the humanities and econom-
les Of life.
In 1896 there were 74,5OO people
out Of work in Ohio; in 1897, S9,460.
Only 5 per cent Of the working class
in New York City are now in idleness.
When figures and facts speak for us
it is correct to say that the whole na-
ton is more nearly at work today
than for many days; and that a very
small per cent are in enforced idleness.
The age Of machinery and Of organ
lied capital and labor show decrease
in the idle class and an increase in the
per cent Of the wage earning class.
