been promising 10 send to congress for so
long time vas delivered to that body
on Monday.
The first half of the document is re-
view of the history of the revolution in
Cuba, from which We take the following
excerpts:
Since this revolution began, in Febru-
airy, 1895, this country has seen the fer
tile domain at our threshold ravaged by
fire and sword in the course of struggle

Notes Of the Labor World
WAGES ARE INCREASING.

Commissioner Of Labor Carroll d.
Wright says: Wages at present are not
as high as in 1891. and it may be several
years before such rates are reached
again, but in the last year there has been
a gratifying incease in many directions,
and to a sufficient degree to warrant
the statement tat wages are again on an
upwrd trend. TIE tendency of wages is
always upward, though we do not always
recognize it, nd, conversely, the trend
of prices is always downward. Even if
wages stand still and the trend Of prices
IS downward, real wages would be higher.
My wok is still incomplete, but my investi
cations have shown me conclusively that
the general trend of wages and percent
age of employed in this country sine 1850
has been decidedly upward.
