LABoRERs AND WAGES.

The differences between day and
contract men are chiefly due to the
fact that the day men are ex-contract
and experienced laborers. 1t is thus
seen that 1856 laborers receive $12,S99 %
i'm money, which is SIC AZ per man per
month, or 60 cents per day. Where over
time is made by the laborers, either
contract or day men, the time is duly
paid for. If all the plantations were
canvassed the mean monthly wage
would be found to be slightly higher
than that in the example given, since
on the larger plantations the number
of high priced men is relatively smaller
than on smaller plantations. This Is
still more specially the rule in respect
to skilled labor.
The table gives only the payment in
money per month. All the laborers,
however, receive free lodging, free fuel,
and free medical attendance, and their
children free education.
More point will be given to the state
ment of wages paid to labor on these
Islands if a comparison is made with
the values of labor in corresponding
conditions in the United States For this
purpose Louisiana is selected. In 1896
data upon the prices of plantation labor
in Louisiana was furnished to the writ
or by the Hon. John DymOnd, planter,
editor and sugar statiStician of New
Orleans. Mr.. Dymond states in reply
to questions: THE average monthly
wage for years has been and is $40, or
10 cents per day. This does not cover
the grinding season (of some sixty
days., when about 81 per day is paid"
The grinding season in Hawaii lasts $50
days or more, when special wages are
earned by overtime. For the purpose of
comparison the special wages are eX-
Guided in both cases, although that item
is in favor of the Hawaiian laborer. Mr..
Dymond further says: "The plantation
laborers are furnished free house room;
they steal their fuel, and require but
! little medical attention; work stopped
| by weather stops also the wages"
| These conditions are partly similar, but
| less favorable than corresponding con-
ditions on Hawaiian plantations, the
difference being decidedly in favor of the
Hawaiian laborer. Again. the Hawai-
ian laborer requires less clothing, and,
what is more important. he does not
need to lose one day in the year from
! the weather. These considerations
cause the comparison to be drawn as
! follows:

Boston's Noble Example.

Boston has gone to the relief of Porto
Rico in manner that ought to make
people in other parts of the country who
have neglected to respond, blush for
shame. Ws learn from the big, black
double-coumn headlines in the esteemed
Boston Globe that Boston sends dried
hsh and beans"
This as every intelligent reader will
readily und erstand, means much. 1, is
as ii Milwaukee were giving up her every
bottle of beer; as if a woman were part
ing with her last jewel When Boston
sends dried hsh and beans to far-away
people in distrsssit is time to conclude
that the anti-imperialsts OF that city
still have in them some Of. the attributes
of Christian fellowship. They may be
willing that half civilized people on dis
tant islands should in the absence of
stable governments. loot and shoot and
cut the throats OF one another, but they
are not wiling to pcrui, people even on
the islands Of the sea to s,arve, though
they themselves must &C without, cod
fish and without beans for days at time.
Eighteen thousand two hundred pounds S
Of dried fish is now on the way from
Boston to Porto Rico, and We know not
how many barrels of beans, but we are
assured by the Boston papers ,ha, the
bulk is great. So glory be to Boston,
The example of the noble inhabitants of
that city should be an inspiration to the
rest of the American people. If the Bos-
tonians are willing to give up their cod
fish and beans why should the rest OF US
hesitate when asked for dollars3-Chica

A Double Deal

George Mitchell for a consideration ex-

1t is stated by Mr.. Wilson that Mr.. Nit.

Indiana Is fer Bryan.

Col. w. z, Mclean, of Terre Haute,
Ind, who was Deputy Commissioner Of
Pensions under the Cleveland regime,
was seen las; evening at the Shoreham.
Col. Mclean is a stanch Democrat, but
was not IN accord with the Chicago plat
form Of 1896. and is still opposed to the
leading features therein promulgated.
But" said he in the Washington Post
"the Indiana Democrat who is not for
Bryan and the Chicago platform is man
without party. and his position is so
lonesome that he almost feels as though
he had no country. The Democratic
machine in our State is absolutely com.
mitted TO Bryan, and the delegates that
will be sent to the national convention
will hear of no other candidate but the
Neb,askan. Whether he can carry the
State in the election or not am not pre-.
pared to hazard guess, tor that depends
good deal on future developments.
"One thing is certain; if the war in the
Philippines is not ended before the
Presidential campaign comes on, it is
good-by to President Mckinley. The
war over there is fast growing in unpopu
larity. The policy OF expansion is op
posed by a great many Western Repub-
licans. and the Democrats are nearly to
a unit against it. My own position is
that while the game isn't worth the
candle. still as long as the insurrection
lasts it will never do for this government
to recede. We are bound to put down
the rebels. and l am therefore in favor of
sustaining the cministration in the most
vigorous war until Mr.. ASainaldo is
brought to his senses"
