THE CONVERSATIONS OF A RE.
FORMER.

There are many compensations to the
brave and true man or woman who casts
policy and prudence to the winds and
stands forth with complete self-aban-
donment in devotion to a great and un-
popular cause. The very noblest traits
of human nature are developed in such
an unselfsh conflict. Paul Lawrence
Dunbar sets forth with graphic force this
and other truths important to reform
ers in his stirring poem entitled Rights
Security"
What if the wind do howl without,
And turn the creaking weather-vane;
What if the arrows of the rain,
Do beat against the window-pane?
Art thou not armored strong and fast
Against the sallies of the blast?
Art thou not sheltered safe and we'll
Against the foods insistent swell?
What boots it. that thou standest alone,
And laughter in the battles face
When all the weak have fled the place
And let their feet and fears keep pace?
Thou wavest still thine ensign high,
And shoutest thy loud battle-cry:
Higher than e'er the tempest roared
It cleaves the silence like sword.
Right arms and armors, too, that man
Who will not compromise with wrong:
Tho single he must forth the throng,
And wage the battle hard and long,
Minorities, since time began,
Have shown the better side of man;
And often in the lists of time
One man has made cause sublime!"
-(Rey.) Martin Mahoney.

How to Protect Fruit and Shade Trees

How to Protect Fruit and Shade Trees.
The frequent injuries done by rabbits
or mice in girdling fruit and other trees
has led to perhaps more experiment
than the injuries done by any fungous
disease or insect pest.
A spring-set fruit tree entering it's
first winter is worth at least one dollar
and if it took dollar to protect that
treet the money would be we'll spent, es-
pecially if participation meant loss

ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
Goddess of Liberty, listen!
Listen, l say, and look
To the sounds and sights of sorrow
This side of Sandy Hook!
Your eye is searching the distance,
You are holding your torch too high
To see the slaves that are fettered,
Though close at your feet they lie;
And the cry of the suffering stranger
Has reached your ear and your breast,
But you do not heed the wall that comes
From the haunts of your own op-
pressed.
Goddess of Liberty, follow,
Follow me where I lead;
Come down into the sweat shop
And look on the work of greed!
Look on the faces of children,
Old before they we're born!
Look on the haggard women
Of all sex graces shorn!
Look on the men. God help us!
If this is what it means
To be men in the land of freedom
And live like mere machines!
Goddess of Liberty, answer!
How can the slaves of Spain
Find freedom under your banner,
While your own still wear the chain?
Loud is the screech of your eagle,
And boastful the voice of your drums,
But they do not silence the wall of de-
spair
That rises out of your slums.
What will you do with your conquests,
And how shall the hosts be fed,
While your streets are filled with des-
perate thrOngs,
Crying for work or bread?

THE QUESTION OF "PROTECTION.'


AS long as it was claimed that our
workingmen were receiving much high
er wages than those of Europe, and
that it was necessary to shut out the
"pauper-labor' of the old world by
high tariff, the big-hearted, generous
people Of America were willing to make
almost any concessions and sacrifices;
but of late many facts have been
brought to the attention of the people,
which go to show that the workingman
of Europe is really as well off as his
fellow-toiler of the United States. The
following interesting article from Hon.
Wharton Barker's "American' throws
considerable light upon this subject:
We are often pleased to fiatter ourselves
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1898-12-07

I'm addition to this the German miner is
insured against sickness and accident and
is provided small pension when old age
disables him. A small deduction is made
from his wages for the insurance fund but
that charge is not included in the average
wages given. Moreover, the miner in West
Virginia and some other states draws most
OF his necessaries from the companies
stores, and it is notorious that many opera
tors depend upon these stores for any mar
gin of profit they may realize in their busi-
ness"
So we are deprived of the poor comfort
OF reasoning that as badly off as are our
coal miners, those Of Europe are worse Off

with the thought that low as are coal
mining wages in this country they are
higher than in Europe. But while this is
nominally true, the mining rate per day
pelng higher it is not actually true, the
average yearly earnings of the miner, which
are the true measure of wages being
smaller. Thus we learn from the official re-
ports of the German government that the
average earnings of persons employed in the
coal mines of Germany in 1897 were, by dis
trictS. as follows.

smasher of trusts to operate in. True,
the tendency of the age is toward com
bination and the concentration of IN
dustrial power and effort; but if the
hater of the trust is sincere he will enter
it forthwith and demolish every one of
the above named trusts, every one of
which can be counted upon to give it's
support to measure permitting pooling,

ries of railroad pool.

commenting on these figures, the Engi-
neering Journal remarks: These are very
small amounts to represent a years earn
lngs; but, small as they are they compare
well with the earnings of our own miners
Our wages, 1t is true are nominally higher
than those at the German coal mines but
few collieries which offered steady work to
their miners. Thus the sworn testimony
taken before the committee which investi-
gated the Pennsylvania anthracite trade
last year showed that, while a miner could
earn from S1.15 to 81 day, the short time
system adopted at most of the collierfes
reduced the average time to about one-third
OF the full time. and the average actual
earnings Of the miners were not over 81 a.
week. or $500 year. Similar testimony put
the average time of the miners in the
Western Pennsylvania bituminous districts
down to one-half of the full number of the
working days, and his earnings to $3.50 a
year.
In Ohio the record is no better for
according to the report of the state mine
inspector, the average working time at all
the mines in 1897 was 150l2 days. or less than
half time, and the average yearly earnings
s192. The West Virginia miner was a little,
but only a little, better off, for the mine
report of that state gives the working time
in 1897 at 1871 days, against 19S days in 1896.

after & O'Clock last nj ght and the Barre

IL few yards of the line when a squirt
carried hun over with a yard distance to

Langley had no difficulty in deciding
where the race and the purse belonged
OF all the crowd who assembled to
see the race, not one had stop watch
so no time was recorded, but some of
the cold sports say it was better than
10 l2 seconds.
1t was reported that the BROOKLYN
man had 5000 which he wanted to bet
on himself, but when takers appeared

night to arrange for meeting this man.

sion to the palk and $500 was added to
