that today 60 per cent Of the drummers
have been discharged and there are
no places for 40 to 55 per cent of the
workingmen in factories absorbed by
the trusts. Yet under these conditions
trusts are producing from two to three
per cent more goods than are needed
in this country. The cry is foreign
trade or reduction Of the number of em-
ployees.
NO Worhingman wants foreign trade
advocated. We want a fair distribution
of the product of machinery and labor.
1t cannot be had if capitalists swallow
it all. Competition among men for EN-
ployment leads to reduction in wages
Trusts control, and there is no COM
petition, because of the complete and
scientific organization of capitalists.
These combinations of millions of
dollars must be met by millions of men.
BY union of the workingmen manhood
will triumph No civil or criminal law
checks the employer, and he is not COM
mitting crime by employing non union
men. We must urge the necessity of
higher moral principles. The men who
pay fabulous sums for pews in stylish
churches and hear the golden rule, are
the first to say the golden rule has no
place in business. We must crush this
base, grovelling nature which pervades
humanity.
TRADE unions have no idea of over
turning the conditions of society. or
disrupting the feeling which makes the
classes of society coherent. When there
is shortage of goods in the market
the manufacturer gets increased prices
but when there is a scarcity of labor
do you get increased wages? Strikes
alone have upset this doctrine.
"a carpenter must have half busbei
of brains and $3.50 worth of tools, We
are not the only dissatisfied working
men. Employees on the New York NaJy
Haven and Hartford railroad NAV go
out on a strike this week because of
the rule of officials Of the road. CON
tented labor means Asiatic conditions
There are no happier men than Chinese
laborers, who get, few pennies a day
II manufacturers want contented work
ingmen, let us have Chinese institII
liberty.
why should the conditions of 10 hor
remain stationary when the nation's .
mental and physical advancement is 60
marked? Find foreign markets 10 cur-
tail production, yell the statesmen oP
today. Why should we look for foraion
markets? Better wages to the worR-
lngnen IN TINS country would make
them better purchasers. We do not
want to grind out wealth for people
abroad
Political spouters advocate comn,er-
eial expansion. We believe in the ex-

The Beers will make an effort to cap
ture Kimberley and their arch enemy,
Cecil Rhodes. The reports of treach-

LaborMen Believe They May Yet Vote
on the Eieht-hour Question.
Town meeting has inspired local la
Dor leaders, and next Monday eve-
ming ]. D. Pierce will pay a fraternal
visit to the board of aldermen Mr..
Pierce has consulted counsel and he
believes that should the aldermen give
the eight hour bill another black eye
the local labor leaders will have a
strong card to back up with.
Mr.. Pierce has made a study of the
statute books of Massachusetts, and
he has made discoveries, the value of
which has not been established. Ac-
cording to section 2, chapter 2S, ten
citizens who petition the selectmen of
town may have any question made
a part of the town warrant and voted
upon election day. Section 80, chapter
27, says that the same power vested in
selectmen is in the board of aldermen
and mayor of a city. Upon this point
a local lawyer studied, and he believes
that a good case can be made.
Mr.. Pierce said last night: "If the
aldermen again refuse citizens the
right to vote on the question, we can
apply to the court for a writ of man

One From the Fresh Green Leaves
of the TaSmanian Blue Gum Tree.
All the Rest From Grease, Fats or
Oils, Combined With an Alkali.
THE NEW SOAP.
A Perfect Skin Healer and a De-
lightful Refreshing Toilet Article.
NO OTHER LIKE 1T.

The first skin and toilet soap ever
proving a revelation to soap users. This
is not surprising when you remember
that heretofore it has been thought i'm
possible to make soap of any kind with
out fats, grease, oil and alkali These
ingredients have been the base of all
soaps from time immemorial and have
been. collected by street scavengers, or
purchased from incinerating plants
which burn the refuse of our cities; not
an agreeable thing to think of, but
nevertheless true. To be sure, many of
these are nicely perfumed and no doubt
made as pure as possible; but if the
alkali is strong enough to kill the
grease and oil, it destroys and hardens
the skin; if the reverse, the pores of
the skin become clogged and disease
follows, ALL THE MEDICATION in
the world cannot prevent it,-what a
delightful change then to have a soap
free from these ingredients and made
from the fragrant. green leaves of the
Tasmanian Blue Gum Tree, these leaves
being acknowledged by the medical
PiOlSSSlOu ds lle IlOSI naFHlleSS, as Well
as the most powerful germ destroyer
and skin purifier known.
A bath with Hy2mei Skin Soap is
simply delightful. It leaves the skin
soft, cool and refreshed imparting to
it the peach-like bloom of health.

QUEENS KIND LETTER.
Victoria Writes to Lady White Expressing
Confidence in Her Husband Colenso
Reoccupied by British Beers Will
Try to Capture Kimberly
and Cecil Rhodes.

London, Nov. 9.-To the eyes of mill
tary experts the darkest page of the
war is now being written. But even
that is Illuminated with bright pas
sages, such as Gen. Whites victorious
sorties. If he can keep the British flag
flying over Ladysmith until he is re-
lieved, the campaign will turn a fresh
page, and with the advance of Sir Red
vers Buffers force, the British public
is promised more cheering reading.
This feeling of relief, inspired by re-
cent tidings, is nevertheless tinged by
certail alloy of anxiety lest Gen
White should again make some fatal
miscalculation involving a repetition
of the Nicholson's Mex disaster.
Her majesty does not share this anx-
, iety and apparently is sanguine Of his
ability to pull through successfully. II
is asserted that she has written Lady
White expressing her sympathy with
the latter's husband in the trials and
difficulties he is now experiencing, and
assuring Lady White of her own un-
diminished confidence in his general
ship. The purport Of this letter has
been cabled to Gen. White by the Mar
quis Of Lansdowne.

ant Postmaster-Genera T. j. Bristow,
who came home to vote, returned to
Washington tonight. To a newspaper
reporter he said: THE results of the

results strongly support the policy of
President Mckinley.
The elections strengthen the presi-
dent throughout the country, and indi-
cate that the people are in hearty SYM
pathy with his administration. The
carrying of Nebraska by the fuslonists
is a great victory for Bryan, and will
strengthen him with his party. 1t
seems TO De a personal victory, how
ever, as other western states show a
decided Increase in the republican vote.
The republican victory in Kentucky
is of great consequence to the republi-
can party throughout the nation. 1t,

that Kentucky will be classed in the

BIG GAINS FOR NASH.
Late Returns Show His Victory to Be
Handsome One.

Columbus, o.. Nov S.-Unofiicial re-
turns have been received by the West
ern Union Telegraph company from all
counties in Ohio, with a few scattering
precincts estimated. The footings give
Nash (rep.), for governor, a plurality
of 49, POS.
The reports in most cases give only
the pluralties, and hence it has not
been possible to give the total vote.
The Jones vote, however, has been re-
ported from AZ counties, including Guy
ahoga, Lucas, Hamilton and Summit,
where the largest vote. for him was
cast. 1t shows total for him in Al
counties of S2,7S7
Nothing has been received by the
Western Union to change its estimates
made early in the day Of a plurality
for Taylor, republican, for governor in
Kentucky. AdYices are coming in SLOW
ly. and 1t may be a day or two before
