Advantages of Unionism.

The advantages Of being a union man
are quite numerous. The old motto Of
the first colonies, which afterwards
merged into the United States of Amer
lea, I'm union is strength" is not the
least OF these. The feeling of brother
hood which Is generated makes us more
tolerant of each others veiws and pc
CuliaritIes Of life, and we come to more
willingly practice the golden rule Of
doing to others as we would be done
by" and habit of thought in this di-'
rection will enable us to use more JUS
tice in our dealings with our employers,
and so exert a favorable influence on
them, for the good Of both.
Then, In the matter of political econ
omy, we naturally listen to brother
member who is better informed than
ourselves, rather than to an outsider,
and 80 we become better educated on
those subjects, because, of the absence
Of prejudice. When fund Is assessed
to provide for sick and unemployed
members we cheerfully contribute be-
cause we feel that we are helping our
brothers and their families, and that

cident or sickness suddenly renders us
unable to do So
1t Is also thought by many that small
portion Of the population of this coun-
try who possess enormous wealth work
together regardless Of political bias for
the purpose of increasing their wealth,
and Of so using the power which the pos
session Of great wealth gives them as
to control the courts, and even the gov
ernmental machinery itself, in their own
particular interest; which course on
their part makes necessary the combi-
nation OF all other interests against
them, Of business as we'll as OF labor,
for the sake of self-preservatiOn.

1t IS not within the province of this
message to narrate the history of the
extraordinary war that followed the
Spanish declaration OF April 81, but
brief recital OF its more salient features
is appropriate. The first encounter Of
the war in point OF date took place
April "a. when detachment OF the
blocliading squadron made reconnals-
sance in force at Matanzas, shelled the
harbor forts, and demolished several
new works In construction.
The next engagement was destined to
mark memorable epoch in maritime
warfare. The Pacific fleet. under Com
modore George Dewey. had lain for some
weeks at Hong Kong. Upon the colon
iai proclamation OF neutrality being is
sued and the customary twenty-four
hours notice being given, Il repaired to

assembled at Manila. Al daybreak on

engagement, effected the total destruc-
ton OF the Spanish feet. consisting OF
ten wArships md q transport, besides
capturing the naval station and forts at
Caylte, thus annlhilnting the Spanish
naval power in the Pacific ocean and
completely controlling the bay Of Ma
Mia. with the ability TO take the city at
Will. Not life was lost on our ships,
the wounded only numbering seven,
while not a vessel was materially In
iurcd. For this gallant achievement the
Congress. upon my recommendation,
fits bestowed upon the actors prefer
ment and substantial reward.
The effect OF this remarkable victory
upon the spirit or our people and upon
the fortunes OF the war was instant. A

throughout the struggle. Reinforce

command OF Major General Merritt and
firmly established within sight OF the
capital. which lay helpless before our
guns
on the 7th day OF May, the govern

the commander Of our feet what troops
would be required Tho information
was received on the 18th day OF MnV.
