A Democratic paper in Pennsylvania hav-
ing asserted that there are many more men
out of employment now than during the
operation of the Wilson tariff, the Steelton
Reporter makes the following statement re-
garding the Pennsylvania Steel Company
There were 5.97S names on the pay rolls
of the company June 30, 1898, being an in
crease of $50 over the same date, 1897, and
1.756 over the same date in 1896. This is the
largest pay roll in the history of the COM
pany. Seventy-six new names were added
to the rolls this week and thirty-three last
week.
These figures are taken from the books of
the company, and what is true of that es-
Establishment is true in a measure of all
others. There is not an employer nor a
wage-earner in the country who does not
know that the number of unemployed per-
sons now is far less than during the dark
days of the Wilson tariff.

A Financial Consideration.
Wa Shinoton Snecia1 in Chicago Post

Americans already own property in Cuba
worth between $50, 600 900 and $40 O00, OO0 and
probably ten times that amount of Ameri-
money is ready to be invested in de-
veloping the resources of the island as soon
as capitalists have assurances that their in
terests will be protected. Only very small
percentage of this enormous amount of new
money will go into the island if the insur-
gents are allowed full sway. This is one Of
the vital points which is already being con-
sidered by the administration in it's study
of the question as to the proper form of
government to be established for the island
after the Spanish have been expelled. These
questions are regarded as very important in
view of the confidence which is felt that
peace is certain and that the end of the

shall have fallen before the guns of our
armies and our fleets
