For the Betterment Of Labor.

Investigation of 1929 establish
ments for March, 1895, seven months
after the Wilson law had gone into
effect, and of the same establishments
for March, 1898, seven months af er
the DiDgley law went into force,
shows an increase OF 81 per cent ia
the amoant o. labor employed and an
increase of A per cent, in the amount
Of wages paid. This rate ofimprove.
ment will be surprising to some, even
to those who are fully aware that the
country has emerged from depression
into prosperity, Yet the establish.
ments chosen for these returns must
be accepted as absolute proof of con.
ditiODs.
1t is estimated that there a'e about
100000 hands engaged in manu-.
iacturlng, INNING, qnarrylng, trace
and transportation. The average
wages, all classes taken into consider.
alton, was $500 per year in 1882, was
reduced to S415 in 1894 and has
beeu advanced to S453 in 1898.
The aiaount paid out in wages for
1898 will therefore be, in und mum.
bers, S3SO,O00,0O0 more than the to.
tai paid out in 1895 under the VIII
son law, This increase in wages,
distributed among those most in
need Of it, must have an incalculable
effect upon the condition of the coun.
try. No wond;r that the wave of
prosperity had such momentum
that not even the war could check it.

The Philadelphia Press cslls the
attention of Democratic newspapers
which have been screaming abou'
great Democratic gains in Vermont
to the even greater Democratic losses
in Arkansas. Comparing the vote of
1898 with that of 1894 in these two
states, we find loss of q per cent.
iu the Republican plurality in Yer.
mont, as against loss of q per cent.
in the Democratic plurality in Ar
kansas. In other words, Arkans IS
gives $4,000 less plurality 10 1898
than IN 1894, and Vermont $500 less
Republican plurality in 1898 than
1894. With these figures before them
our Democratic friends will probably
agree to say nothing about Vermont,
if the Republicans will keep quiet
about Arkansas.

Battle of Santiago de Cuba were all He

unition and Rations to the Front Saved the
Day.
p. E. Butler, of pack train No. 8, writ
ing from Santiago De Cuba, on July 23d,
says: eve all had diarrhea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see doctor, for it was
a case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhpa Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep our
health in fact, sincerely believe that at
one critical time this medicine was the
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for our
pack train before we left Tampa, and /
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."
