WAGES OF WORKINGMEN.

/ Nevada City Transcripts: Has the con
dition of the workingmen really gotten
worse, as is constantly asserted by Ii,
professional fault finders in political
life? The United States Commissioner
Of Labor thinks not, and he bases his
! conclusion on a very careful study OF
the subject. ranging through a long term
of years. The Commissioner, Hon. Car
roll d. Wright, in a recent article on the
subject in the Forum" states that the
number CT unemployed people in the
| United States and in other parts OF the
world is now less than it was under uls
old system of production and hand Ia
Dor, now displaced by machinery. He
further shows that the average rate oi
wages now paid TO labor IS higher than
under former C II Il ions. wEile the intro
duction of machinery has greatly re-
duced the cost of the articles produced,
thus giving d treble advantage to labor
first in the number of people employed;
second in the wages paid, and third, by
a reduction in the prices of the articles
manufactured and which they must pur-
cha q for their own use.

HIS ARMY BILL.
Gen. Miles to Appear Before House Com
mittee in Defence of Measure.

Washington, Dec. 8.-General Miles
expects to appear before the House
military committee in a few days to
set out personally the reasons why he
thinks his army bill should be passed
The most urgent is the fact that i'm
mediately upon the formal announce
ment of peace between the United
States and Spain, the United States
army may be suddenly reduced almost
a third, and at a time when the need
for troops for garrison purposes is still
pressing. This statement does not ap-
ply TO volunteer troops. AS stated by
the president in his message, they. haV-
ing enlisted for the war, must all be
discharged.
But when the war department, acting
under the authority conferred by con-
gress at the last session, sought to re-
cruit the regular army to a war foot
ing to stimulate enlistments, it pledged
itself in a formal order to discharge
upon his own application any recruit
who wished to leave the service upon
the conclusion of peace, although the
nominal term of enlistment was for
three years
General Miles will refer 20 the pres
ent prospect of a conclusion of the ne
gotiations at Paris and the signature
of the treaty of peace as an evidence
Of the necessity for speedy action.
He will also urge that provision be
made for the fertilization Of Manila.
