commendable action. The employees

His Cradle Song.

v'e SsauW ooHgs
My father used to sing one song
Our lullaby wot,
And some times--well--it was tune
And some time it was not.
But he would take US on his knee
When tired of our toys
And sing that funny little song
About the Indian boys.
One, two. three, little Indians
Der and DER again,
Till We could hear them crowding near
With wild war-cry and, then
When hazy dreams OF sIumber land
We're putting Indian boys to rout
So softly in his arms we'd swing
And softly to us he would sing that
other song about:
The drummer lad so brave and true.
That left his mothers door,
And marched away to Waterloo,
To come back nevermore.
And when to dreamland's portals tall
With heavy lids ut last we'd come.
We entered in to bugle call
And mufiied roll of drums-
But years have passed away since then,
And feet that once were light
Have faltered down 1.-The way of PAIN
That threads the vale of night.
And lips that sung our cradle song
And eoothed away our tears.
We kissed goodbye with anguished cry
Back in the vanished yeare.--
Then hush ably. oh, little child,
Your head upon my heart
Brings back the days when love beguiled
The sting from sorrows dart.
But oftentimes there comes to me
The evenings deepening gloom
The echo of that melody
AS from beyond the tomb
And DER and DER my heart will ask,
II, when my eyes are dim:
Oh. will you ever yearn for me
As nave done for him?
But this know in far-off years,
When hand has slipped from hand.
You'll glance aback thro' mist OF tears
And then you'll understand.
When in some future day. maybe.
You'll sing AS now do
To little children on your knee,
The cradle songs he sung to me-
The songs sing to you.

uSIS SlooP. II our tnOuSntS look
down, our character bends. 1t is
only when we hold our heads up
that our body becomes erect. It is
only when our thoughts go up that
our life becomes erect.
TIT
SECRETARY Gage places great
emphasis upon the fact that the
enormous bank balances are caused
by the West paying its debts, as a
harbinger of prosperity, and gives
the farmers credit for the whole
business. While a large part of
this has come from the farmers as a
result of the famine in India caus-
ing rise in the price of wheat, it
must be remembered that the gold
mines of the Rocky mountains have
been an important factor in the debt
payirg line. AS for the farmers an
other year their prosperity depends
solely upon another famine in India,
as wheat will be lower than ever if
the market is confined to the Unit
ed States. We are neither an opti-
mist nor a pessimist, but I'VE ARE
strong believer in facts as they pre-
sent themselves, and FACTS, as they
exist, do not warrant any one in
predicting good times for the mass
of the people.
The Ten Per Cent Cut.
ALL of the New England states
are following the example set by the
Fall River manufacturers and re-
ducing wages. The cut will aver
age about 10 per cent, on the pres
ent rate paid. This is the reward
OF New England fatt6ry owners to
their employees for having voted for
Mckinley and the gold standard.
Wages are already low enough, but
this cut will bring them nearer the
point of bare subsistence. How far
a general strike will tend to arrest
this process of reducing the earn
ings of working people is proble-
matical. 1t is not the avarice of
employers alone against which they
will be contending, but against a
system of finance that invariably
brings want and wretchedness to the
common people. Against the form
er they might win by we'll organ
lied effort. Against the latter the
only hope of success lies in the total
abolition of the system, and a re.
turn to former rbimetallic conditions.
The only real hope for the vast
army Of employees and operatives in
New England is in the ballot box.
They were fully warned of the re-
suits of voting for the gold standard,
but failed to profit by it. Now,
perhaps, they may be brought to a
realizing sense Of the relation of
votes to wages, and of the gold
standard to their own prosperity and
happiness. There is therefore a
broad field open in the New Eng
land states for missionary work for
silver. The next congressional
elections should effect a very dccid-
cd change in the delegations Of each
one Of these states, and in 1900 en-
phatic majorities should be rolled
tip for the silvet candidate. The
logical workings Of the gold stsnd-
ard are certain to condemn It antbng
