II There We're Grenter Number of
Mark Hannns
there would he less destitution and
complaining among the coal miners"
A number of leading labor leaders
have made public statements similar
C the above, of whom may be men
toned John James, secretary of the
Miners National association; Cameron
Miller, ex-president of the United Mine
Workers of America; William A. Car
ney, vice president of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Iron and Steel
Workers and vice president Of the
American Federation Of Labor; T. L.
Lewis, president of the Ohio STATE
Trades assembly and Secretary of Ohio
Miners union; Richard Powers, ex-
president of Seaman's union, and
many others.
Not alone the mine workers, but the
representatives of every industry in
which Mr.. Hanna is interested bear
testimony to his broadmindedness
and manliness as an employer of labor.
No wonder Mr. McLean's newspaper
is not saying much about Senator
Hanna as a labor crusher' this year.
That wretched falsehood has been too
thoroughly exploded for even the great
Cincinnati fake artists to dwell upon.
Instead they howl about Mr.. Hanna's
brutality" and corrupt" methods,
and hope to cover their confusion over
the exposure of their old lies by in
venting new cnes that are more vi
cious though scarcely as plausible as
the old.

Statement of William Warner, secre-
tary of the United Mine Workers in
the Pittsburg district during the last
great coal strike. This statement was
published July IL, 1897: "All these
stories about the attitude of Mark
Hanna on labor are false. Every time
you see the names of myself or Patrick
Dolan, president of the district,
coupled with them, 1t is done without
our knowledge. The true story of Mr..
Hanna's attitude toward his workmen
and toward union labor, so far as min
ing interests in western Pennsylvania
are concerned, is that he is
The Best Man In District TO Work For.
81 do not know Mr.. Hanna, never
saw him in my life. Mr Dolan and
myself voted the free silver ticket last
fall, and will do so again if we get a
chance. But the fact that we are op-
posed to him in politics seems to have
given some writers the idea that they
are licensed to use our names to tell
absolute falsehoods about him. | have
written the miners of Ohio that such
proceedings are disgraceful. l have
advised them to oppose Mr.. Hanna
politically on a straight silver issue,
but If they want a friend to miners,
every miner in the United States
should be for him. The work done by
Mr.. Young and the Panhandle Coal
company in which Mr.. Hanna is a
stockholder and Daniel Hanna, his
| son, is manager. does not date from
the time Mr.. Hanna entered actively
into politics. Long before he was
thought cf in this connection he took
the stand to pay
The niahe,t Wages In the District.
If Mr. Hanna has done this for polit-
ical effect, 1t has cost him several for
tunes. don't believe he did this.
however.
To-day he is paying the highest
price paic in the Pittsburg district. He
has a contract with his men whereby
he can not reduce the price even II he
desires, while all his, competitors are
paying their men 6 cents ton less.
Not only that, he is fairer in his deal
ings with his workmen than nine
tenths Of the operators. and this is one
Of the greatest boons to suffering
miners.
while / can not conscientiously
support Mr. Hanna in his political
views, yet nothing would give me
greater pleasure than TO dlsabuse the
minds Of workingmen that Mark Hanna
is tyrannical. mean. or pays his work
men less than his competitors.

q thing az advertising any deed Of
charity he might do in his own news
paper, If he owned one, would seem
Detachable In His Ey =,
and to try to make 1t means Of get
ting votes would appear like sacrilege.
Yet Mr.. Mclean persists in calling
Mr.. Hanna brutal" and corrupt"
and in heaping lying abuse on him
ell for purely selfish and partisan
purpose.
The following statements from some
u, the best known labor leaders in the
country indicate the real character of
Mr.. Hanna as an employer of labor
The statements are made by fair
minded men, both Democrats, who
were indignant because of the mali
cious lies circulated by the Democratic
press.
Editorial in Columbus Record, Feb.
25, 1897, written by Hon. John Nc
Bride, ex-president of the United Mine
Workers of America, eX-president of
American Federation of Labor, a DEM
ocratic eX-candidate for secretry of
state, and at that time editor of the Co
lumbus Record: 1T was said in the last
presidential campaign that Mark
Hanna was an enemy to organized
labor. We can say from personal
knowledge and experience that he has

| Of labor-much more so than many
of those who have frequently had high
political honors conferred on them by
the aid of wage-workers' votes. The
writer graduated from one of Hanna's
mines in the Massillon district, and in
disputes between miner and operator
met Mr. Hanna as often as any living
man, hence, knowing whereof we
speak, we assert that Mr.. Hanna and
his company have offered
Lsss Opposition to Organic I'd Labor
In the mines of Ohio, and have treated
more freely and fully with the miners
unions than the other companies" /"
| Here follows a recital of the condi-
tions Of the 1S73-1S74 strike, in which
Mr. Hanna was the especial friend of
the unions. I'm April of last year"
the article continues, "Mr. p. H. Pen
ma, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, in his annual ad-
dress delivered at the con yention held
in this city, declared that the organ
ization was under special obligations
to Mr.. Hanna's company for earnest
cooperation in efforts made by the
union to increase the mine workers
wages in the Pittsburg district. In
making these statements, we not only
wish to correct a wrong done Mr..
Hanna, but to prevent. as far as we
can, the labor organizations of Ohio
from being used in the future as cats
paws for political enemies of Mr..
Hanna"

ROANOK
A Most Prosperous Year for the
Magic City.

ROANOKE. VA, December 31-(Spe-
cial.)-During the year just closed Roa-
noke has experienced perhaps one of the
most prosperous periods In her history.
More people are centred here now than
ever before, and IL may be safely as
serted that more individuals own pro-
perty here than at any other time in
the city's history.
These conditions have been brought
about largely through the influence Of
the Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany under the management of Mr.. j..
NJ. Barr, who came TO Roanoke more
than a year ago from a western road,
and assumed the management and vice.
presidency OF the road. He concentrated
all, or nearly all. the repair work and
car-bullding in the Roanoke Machine
Works. This was done somewhat to the
detriment Of the other towns along the
line. but Il had the effect Of largely in
creasing the population of the city.
The Roanoke MACHINERY have
been working their full capacity during
the year.
The Norwich Lock Works. which have
lain idle since 1892 have recently been
purchased by Lynchburg capitalists. who
propose TO put them In operation at an
early date.
A large number of business-houses
were completed i'm the early part OF 1898,
and building operations in the residence
sections have been forging ahead
throughout the year. Houses can always
be rented before completed. One notice
able feature Is that most residences be-
ing built are designed for homes, and are
being put up by the working class OF
people. But little property is being i'm
proved for purposes Of speculation, al
though the past year has seen percep-
tible rise in real estate values of from
10 10 ~ per cent. Real estate men claim
that their business is good. The banks
are doing a larger volume OF business
than ever before.
Among the many improvements IN the
city. the establishment Of a competing
water company will perhaps have more
far-reachng effect than anything else
that has transpired in a decade. To-day
Roanoke has two magnificent supplies
OF water-one a freestone, the other
limestone. The new company, known
as the Roanoke-VintOn Water Company
has Richmond capital behind IT, and has
lust completed one OF the most perfect
systems in the state.
The conditions of the city are OF the
brightest character, and the outlook for
steady Improvement Is good.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1899-01-01

banking institutions is unquestioned The
female college are in thriving condition,
with increased attendance over previous
years. AS much may be said of the pub
lie schools.
The various churches show happy re-
lations between pastor. priest, and people
the edlfices all are in excellent condition,
and a generous rivalry in good work
characterizes the congregations.
Many handsome residences have been
built this year, among them the splendid
homes of Messrs. w. p. Tams, J. Fred.
Ehinger, A. NJ. Valz, NJ. NJ. Robertson,
and G. Il. Caldwell Among the public
improvements are the new dormitories
and public hall at the Virginia Female
Institute, new dormitores and study
rooms at the Virginia School for the Deaf
and Blind, improvements at the City
Park, and the new City Gas Company's
large plant now well under way.
Peace and good order have reigned
throughout the year, so that the records
are clear Of the greater crimes.
With one exception, a fire at the Bow
ling Spott's wholesale grocery, the fire
record shows the fire loss to have been
trifling.
The public health has been unusually
excellent, and the pestIlence that walketh
in darkness and the destruction that
wasteth at monday. like the Levite, has
passed by on the other side.
The holiday trade proved to be larger
than was expected, so that the business
year closes In a fiattering way.
Real estate values In the city have held
their own, save In the case of outlying
property, and where trade has shifted
from one section OF the city TO another.
Rents, except in the most favored locali-
ties. have slightly declined.
However. looking backward over the
past twelvemonth and casting up the
years ledger. the balance entry shows
more profit than loss.

activity, and many outsiders have bought
homes in the county. One agent In the
last six months has sold over $4,000 in
small farms. In the town there are few
houses or business places for rent. -
The farmers during 1898 have gained a
firm cash footing. and have found ready
market for cattle. tobacco, and grain.
One buyer spent $4,000 for cattle In the
county i'm three months.
Above all. the receipts ~ the town are
greater by 500 than expenses. Who then
shall deny that 1899 will dawn most au-
splciously? It's legacy from the old year
is worth considering.
