Gov IANNER'S BRAVE STAND FOR
LABOR.

PEOPLE who believe In grinding the
IabOrlng man into the earth are de'
nOuncing Gov. Tanner for his brave act
in standing by the striking miners ~
Virden.
The Governors critics forget that the
lmpoverishment of the labor popula'
ton means ruin for the whole country.
Impoveri,h the laboring ana farming
population and you undermine the mar
ket for manufactured goods. grind
down the workman and you injure the
employer. This is the true rule. But
our manufacturers, though they once
cxpounded II, have forgotten 1t. Those
of them carried away by unrcalized
dreams of an export trade have come
TO see In the grinding down OF III"
workman, rhe driving down of the
price for coal and iron ore, for cotton
and for WOOL the means of swelling
their own profits.
Such grinding down. such cheaper
Ing. must undermine the purchasing
power of their best customers ana ihns
must lnjure them, hut This, casting
their thoughts upon an export trade
they overlook. They come 10 reason,
simply, rs the factory lords of Britain
have long done, that such grinding
mush cheaper the costs of production,
must enable them TO extend their cX-
port trade and so swell their profits.
They forget that such grinding must
narrow their many times more yalua-
bile home trade, they forget that an cX-
port trade cannot be- built mp without
an import trade, that II we impoyerlsh
our people and 80 curtall their pur'
chasing power the building MP of such
Import trade must he hindercd, aud
that. as a consequence, an export trad"
cannot be developed a. they dream,
cannot be developed upon the grinding
down, the lmpoyershlng, of our people
And. forgetting this, believing they can
swell their profits by grinding down
those who toll with their hands, their
sympathy for the downtrodden and OPP
pressed Il dulled, for the greed for gain
sieels the heart.
Thus do we see manufacturers whose
true interests should lead them to align
themselves with the people taking sides
with the piutocracy, applaudIng those
who trample upon labor, denOunclnc
those who take labor's side, speaking

TRYiN0 TO SAVE CiviL SERVICE.

The Citizens Association. whose pres.
ilcnt. Il. j. Smith, Is u leading Demo.
crat. has united with the Civil Service
Reform Association In an appeal To the
voters of Cook County to support the
Republican ticket on account of the
plank In the Democratic platform at
tacking the civil service law. After dc.
clnrlng that the opposition to the law II
made In the interest Of spOllsmcn, the
appeal says:
"Chnrles =. Thornton, ono Of the can
dilatcs for Judge Of the Superior Court
on tho Democratic ticket, deserves de-
feat. As Corporation Counsel II was
his duty to SEQ that the affairs Of the
city government should bc conducted
In accordance with the laws. Regard
less Of this duty. he constituted himself
the champion OF the viOlatOrs Of the
civil service act. and even In the Su.
prcnc Court sought to stand between
them ana It's remedies. After that court
had declared Its constitutionality he de-
MED It. ana thereafter. rs before, gave
aid ana comfort to those who opposed
It's enforcement. We submit to the
voters of Cook County that no man
who. rs public official. Is unwilling tn
abide by the law rs II is written. and
declared by the highest authority. II
III TO sit upon the bench to Interpret
and enforce It,"
The appeal IL signed for the Citizens

RESULT Of THE ELECTION.

Well, the campaign is over, and all
the signs point to Democratic defeat.
Two weeks ago the Democrats would
have won by twenty thousand.
But the Yellow Kid ami the City Hail
were too much In evidence ami the tide
turned.
The City Hall tried to sacrifice every.
thing to- make Thornton Judge ana the
Yellow Kid Governor, and 1t has sue.
cected in beating Thornton ana max.
ing last years birds nest out Of the
Kid.
But the ticket has been sacrificed Just
the same.
The majority Of ChicagOans are
against the City Hall gang because
they want TO see their city well gov.
crned.
They want an cfiicicn, public service
and an administration that Is founded
upon actions and not upon tradition.
Fifty thousand Democrats, disguised
with the Yellow Kids party manage
ment, ana with the party rule Of
rufiians. have Joined the Republican
column.
Their detection settles the election.
The only question Is, will the Repub
licans have twenty thousand or iift!

BY this time the new steel bridge

have waited for so many years for this
same thing that it seems almost like
realizing a dream.
TIE new railroad bridge is a fine
steel structure and was designed and
set UP by the Berlin Bridge Company
of East Berlin, Conn. The span
weighs 12O tons and is capable of re-
sisting a strain of 1900 pounds per
running foot.
