Two Men Seriously Wounded at Rutland,

Ottawa, Ills. Jan. 9.-The latest ad-
vices from Rutland are that the village
was very quiet, but as a precaution
against an uprising President Bland, of
the village board, has sworn in a num-
Der of extra policemen, who are on
guard at the mine. allowing the troops
who Were on duty all night to sleep at
the hotel. Sentinels have been placed
about the mines and along the Illinois
Central tracks Immediately west.
This is the sequel of riot that took
place at Rutland yesterday morning in
which the striking miners marched to
Hakes' shaft with the avowed intention
of destroying the property and murder
ing Hakes. The sheriff had n posse of
sixteen men there we'll armed, and
when the strikers made q rush he fired
on them, woUnding two seriously, it is
said.
The principal point of dispute is the
payment according to the scale adopted
by the International Miners union. This
provides for 62la cents, mine run, but
Manager Hakes holds out for so cents
under a diamond screen. He has prom
ised TO arbitrate by the 18th, and the
troops Will remain until that date.

not as pleasant as they should be, and
that was thinking of legal separa-

speak of his wife as Mrs. Jones, for ex-
ample, felt almost like presuming on
my acquaintance by intruding into his

where the Working Man Comes a
/ On the DinEley Tarin.
If the wage-earner does not organize
| to protect his own interest who will do
/ it for him?
The republican party's reply to this
/ question. asked by a reverend preacher,
| viii be that organization on the part of
/ the wage-earner is unnecessary for the
protection of his own interests because
those interests are entirely protected in
tariff legislation.
But assuming for moment the POI
tency of tariff legislation to provide
| higher wage for the American artisan,
the particular manner in which the art;-
san is to be protected and to gain his
higher wage through the operation of
the tariff law is faulty.
| The tariff duty on bituminous coal,
not laid, the republicans win explain,
for the benefit of the mine owner, bu:
for the benefit of the mine operative,
was increased in the Dingley bill by %
cents ton, just as the glass schedule
anc all other schedules were increased
to the Mckinley rates.
But the tariff law leaves the interests
of the laborer, for whose benefit, it is
said, this tariff in its protective features
is mainly laid, in the hands of the en-
ployer. 1t does not compel the en-
ployer to keep books and make sworn
returns showing the amount gained to
his business by the protective tariff nor
the amount of such gain paid to en-
ployes in the protected industries. II
has resulted that the so-called prin-
oio Of hn
boring man, has not had his due share
of the profits of protection. These
have been secured to him in part only
by his own organization. He cannot
trust those beneficiaries of the tariff
that the tariff maker trusts. The tariff
maker says in effect to the captains
of industry: 1--WE charge you to see
that labor gets the bulk of the profit
we give you in this bill, profit arising
from our use of authority to legislate
for the general welfare. We intrust
the general welfare partly to you. We
expect you to use it to the advantage
of labor, which is our main concern"
Then the tariff maker goes off and
foclishly rejoices in the work he has
done, never having taken adequate
steps to see that the captain of industry
has performed his share of the COM
pact.
So it is that even if the tariff for pro-
lection is the true policy it is not self
effective in the protection of labor. 1t
leaves the interests of labor in the hands
of the greedy persons who procured the
legislation, the great captains of in
dustry who hog" as the expressive
phrase is, all that is i'll it for themselves
aud leave labor to get what it can only
through its own organization.
And it is to such organization that
labor in the protected interests owes
the fact that it has had any other than
living wage. The captains of industry
have not made a fair divide of the
profit OF tariff taxation.-Chicago

The Harvest Field. bring 1t.

Prosperity, that was to come into the
country from the east, making it's de-
but in Washington, is now coming in
from the harvest fields of the great west.
The commercial papers dilate upon the
crop prospects and proclaim the dawn
of real prosperity should no disaster
overtake the harvest before the reap
ers garner it. Republican papers grasp
the idea eagerly and hail the return
of the wanderer. And for once they
are right. Prosperity is coming in the
only possible way-through the indus
try, the economy, the frugality of the
people who toll and produce. 1t can
never come through positive legislation.
the fostering of industries by taxation
drawn from the producers. Such legis-
lation merely interferes with the dis
tribution of wealth; it never creates it.

EDUCATION AND TEETH.
Intellectual Progress Is Changing the
Human Jaw.

Education is playing sad havoc with
the teeth of modern generations. So an
experienced dentist in the West End
says, and he ought to know. Formerly
decayed teeth were generally at
tributed to a secret fondness for bon
bons, but this idea is, it appears, quite
mistake. In fact, sugar is rather
nourishing than otherwise. The truth
is that the ancient sturdy square jaw
of the English race is changing through
lessons and book-learning to an angular
or V shape, which presses the molars
one upon the other, does not give them
room to grow, and will in time prevent
some of them cutting at all. Indeed,
this catastrophe is not infrequent al
ready In many cases the original
teeth are becoming less in number than
they ought to be, and often the ''wis-
domers'' fail to appear. This, in an
educated jaw" is lamentable. The
new facial form is, according to the
dentist, much cultivated by ladies, who
find that it is popular among gentle
men. The latter like women with the
educated" angle of chin, which gener-
ally carries with it pearly, but very
frail teeth. If the specialist be right,
this process of selection, aided by
further lessons and more study, will,
in the course of time, produce a race
without any teeth at all. Then will the
dentists make fortunes, for people will
require complete artificial sets from
the day of their birth COMMUNICATION

THE TRUE ADVANCE AGENT.
Education Alone VIII Bring Pros
perity.

Education Alone VIII Bring Pros
perity.
It has always been admitted that the
wages of skilled labor were higher in
the United States than anywhere else
in the world. The McKinleys and Ding
leys have always insisted that they de-
serve all the credit for this happy state
of affairs, and that the attempt to credit
it to the superior skill and intelligence
of the American workman was both
silly and unpatriotic.
Now comes the nonpolitical Massa-
chusetts bureau of statistics of labor
with exhaustive and undoubtedly ac-
curate tables of comparative wages
that leave the McKinleys and Dingleys
without leg to stand on. The Massa-
chusetts bureau, after compiling the
wages in 80 occupations, finds:
1. That there are wider differences
between the wages paid for the same
kind of work in various parts of the
United States than there are between
the wages of the United States and of
England or the continent.
2. That in the United States the work
men of Massachusetts, receive the high
est wages in every class of occupations
in those that pay poor wages at best
no less than in those that offer labor
the largest returns.
The first proposition shows that the
chief cause for differences in wages can
not be tariffs, which of course operate
equally upon protected manufactures
everywhere. The second proposition
shows that whatever this chief cause is
it helps the workmen of Massachusetts,
more than it helps those of any other
state.
What then is this chief cause?
The statistics of education undoubt-
eddy furnish the clew to it. They show
that Massachusetts, gives each of her in
habitants seven years schooling of 200
days each, while the average for the
United States is $40 years of 200 days
each.
Further, while the average wealth
producing power of each man. woman
and child in the United States is 40
cents a day, the average wealth-pro-
ducing power of each man. woman and
child in Massachusetts, is 70 cents a
day-nearly double!
Education is the true advance agent
of prosperity.-N. Y. World.

DlNoLEusM.s STAR.
Prices ON the Increase Under the new
Tariff.

Prices ON the Increase Under the New
TariR.
Consumers are thus early learning
that under the Dingley bill they are
confronted by hard, tangible condi-
ton and not mystical. intangible
theory.
The prices of all the necessaries are
going up without the least promise OF
an increase in the income of the wage
earners. New York grocers have adj
vanced the price of sugar six-tenths of
cent pound. This is just starter.
From this increase the sugar trust will
reap a reward of So, 200, 900, as the
Ding1ey bill intended it should. There
has also been an advance of from ten to
twenty-five per cent. on all wooden
goods. The new law has caused az adj
vance in the price Of hides, and an in
crease in the cost of boots and shoes
from 30 to so cents pair viii follow.
In brief, an advance soon of prices all
along the line may be confidently
looked for.
The upholders of the Dingley bill
cannot deny the facts of increasing
prices, and they try to justify the meas
ure and the party's action in imposing
it upon an already oyertaxed nation
by contending that it will ultimately
result in raising the wage scale by
the bare force of the necessities of
wage-earners, and also in multiplying
the opportunities for employment.
This is the veriest rot. The Mckinley
bill did not raise wages or increase la
boris opportunities. On the contrary,
the industrial history of that brief pc
riod shows that wages decreased under
the Mckinley bill and that more trusts
were formed than during any other
corresponding time in the nations his
tory.
The sole and only business purpose of
trusts is to control production by
smothering competition. That propo-
sition is too automatic to require ar
gument or illustration. The rates of
the Mckinley bill were on an average
ten per cent. lower than the rates of
the Dingley bill. The latter measure
will be proportionately greater trust
breeder. There is no sentiment in bust
ness. It will embrace its opportunity
tc cheaper its operations and increase
it's profits. This means an era of
higher prices during the life of the
Dingley bill than were ever known in
this country in time of peace and when
all of the productive energies of the ma
ton were vigorous and eager to be al
lowed full sway.
Speaker Reed very correctly and sue
cinctly summarized the causes of re-
publican defeat under the Mckinley
hill once NV deoIarino that est was the
women shoppers who did it," When
the American people again get whack
at the republican party Mr.. Reeds
quick perception and ready wit will
have another opportunity for display.
AS he views the wreck the thought is
bound to suggest itself to his mind that
the greed and rapacity of trusts have
caused it.-St. Louis Republic.

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.
Favorable Signs in Several Impo
tant States.

Favorable Signs I'm Several Impor-
tant States.
The prospects for democratic sue
cess in Ohio and Iowa are growing
brighter as the active opening of the
campaign approaches.
Republicans are frightened at the
outlook, and are whistling to keep their
courage up. The record of the repub-
lican party since it went into power
is such that its leaders fear to face the
people. Their fostering of trusts, their
gifts to combines and their subservi-
ency to monopolies make a precarious
platform on which to stand before the
people.
Add this record of corrupt legislation
to that of the republican party on the
money question and the burden will be
too great to bear. In the words of the
New York World: The republicans
have sown broadcast the seeds of new
discomfort. Democracy has but to be
true to itself to reap from this sowing
an abundant harvest"
Of course, the world is opposed to
bimetalIism, but it sees the downfall
of the republican party in its slavish
obedience to the behests of the trusts
and its disregard for the welfare of the
people.
Success in Ohio and Iowa for the
democracy would be a tremendous vic
tory, because all the powers of corrup-
ton would enlist themselves in behalf
of republicanism. Defeat would not
carry with it encouragement to the
democratic forces, for the real battle
is before them in 1898, and victory then
will mean n conquest in 1900, carrying
with it freedom, happiness and prosper
ity for the nation.-Chicago Dispatch.
