The extent to which American labor
has gained In employment and In wages

of the restoration of Industrial activity
In place of the dizziness, depression and
enforced idleness of the desolate period
following the free-trade experiment at
tariff making In 1894 cannot. for obvi-
GUS reasons, be accurately stated In
figures. 1t Is impossible for any but
Government agencies to cover the
ground with anything like complete
ness. Employers of labor do not, as a
rule, take kindly to inquiries as to facts
concerning wages, gross sum Of output,
etc. Hence an unofficial poll of the in
dustrial situation is certain to be at
tended with difficulties. The American
Protective Tariff League, always ex-
ceptionally successful in this field, has
just completed its industrial census for
the month of March, 1899, using that
month as the basis Of comparison with
March, 1895, the former being nineteen
months after the enactment Of the
Dingley tariff, while the latter was
seven months after the enactment Of
the Wilson tariff of 1894. In the case

AT M0D1le bay, d1ter the Iail Oh New
Orleans, Dewey was a junior watch
officer on the steam sloop Mississippi
The ships cook-called in naval par
lance the "doctor"-w6s a superstitious
old darky, with an extreme dread of
sharks. He tried to convert Dewey
TO a faith in the danger Of sharks, but
Dewey held out that they would never
bite a human being. The latter point
was long In controversy between them.
One day Dewey was sent ashore in the
ships dingey on some trifiing duty. He
had on. as usual a frock coat with
very long tails, such as all naval Off
GERS wore in those days. In obedience
to orders. he hurried back, the sloop
being on the point of getting under
way, and, as he sat in the stern of the
skin, his coat-tails trailed In the water
Just as the dingey was on the point of
reaching the vessel shark arose to the

The Penalty OF Curiosity.

A somewhat distressing but un-
doubtedly righteous retribution recent
ly overlook a clerk in the British postal
service at Birmingham. Among the
packets received at the office one day
was one containing pair of hand
cuffs, which were being sent from
Derby to manufacturer in Birming-
ham to be fitted with a key. The pa
per covering Of the parcel had been
torn during transmission so that the
handouts were exposed to view.
4 They were an object of curiosity to
the clerks. and presently one Of the
young men jocularly clasped one of
the cuffs around his left wrist. 1t was
then that he discovered that there was
no key to unfasten 1t. The handcuff
was on his wrist Ito stay"
The young man went to the police
station, and an officer found key
that he thought would fit. But in turn
ing it round, he broke it of in the cuff.

buttons on the coat-tails aforesaid-and
bit off the starboard side of the lieu
tenants after uniform. Dewey jumped
to his feet. and, well satisfied under
the circumstances to relinquish his
coat-tail, ran up the side Of the ship.
The Doctor" whoLhad viewed the pro-
ceedings from the rail of the vessel,
approached him presently with a grin
of the utmost width. "Ah. ha" he said,
taking advantage of the familiarity
customarily allowed him on board,
perhaps, Massa Dewey, yo' b'lieve
now dat sharks won't bite a pusson.
Whar's yo' coat-tail, eh?"

with his habitual sangfroid. has been
removed by an act of Providence"

Now the broken key would have to be
drilled out, or the handcuff filed
through before the clerk could get II
off.
The day was Sunday, and all the
shops, including the manufacturers
place, were closed. The clerk returned
to the postoffice, and explained his
plight to the superintendent. This Of
fetal ordered him to take the first train
to Derby the next morning, explain
the whole circumstance to the owner
of the handouts. apologize to him. and
then return to Birmingham and go to
the manufacturers and have the hand
cuff filed off

cannot be kept flying there by the con-
sent OF Aguinaldo. He says he would
not run away" from the Philippines,
that is, would not withdraw the troops.
and yet they cannot stay there by the
consent Of Aguinaldo and his band Of
insurgents. He says he would retain
a naval station, and yet 1t couldn't be
retained except by going contrary to
the consent Of Aguinaldo. He declares
that he would have the United States
assume a protectorate over the islands,
and yet this, too, would be against the
consent Of Aguinaldo. Any and all Of
these things which Bryan would have
done would have to be done by force
and without the consent of the gov
erned.-Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

had considerably longer than seven

had considerably longer than seven
months In which to settle down to an
average level Of results and conditions,
for the reason that the periodrof we'll
defined stagnation really began very
soon after the election Of Grover Cleye-
land in November, 1892. Counting the
time during which domestic producers
were engaged in reducing their scale
of operations In anticipation of free
trade tariff times. together with the
seven months Of actual experience I'M
der free-trade tariff, we have total
period Of time practically the same as
the nineteen months between Aug. /,
1897. and April /, 1899.
1t is, however, to be borne In mind
that our returns for March, 1899, fat
tering and significant though they be,
fall considerably short of adequately
expressing the real progress made in
nineteen months of practical protection.
Everybody knows that very impor-
tant advance in the wage rate of the
whole country has gone into effect
since the close Of March, 1899, our cen
sus month. Therefore our census fails
to present the full facts Of increased
prosperity among American wage earn
ers. We show that, compared with
March, 1895. there was in the 1857
establishments reporting "a gain of
1874 in the number of hands employ
ed, or a gain of 1856 per cent. for,
March, 1899; that there was gain on
the gross sum of wages paid of $3,461,-
235.5S, this being 500 per cent. more
than In March, 1895; and that while in
March, 1895. the average rate Of wages
per capita for the month was $3.50,
the average wage rate per capita in
March, 1899, had increased to $36.S6,
being gain Of 10.49 per cent. Had
this census been extended so as to in
clude the months of April and May,
1899, the months in which the heaviest
and most general advances In wages
occurred, the percentage of increase In
the per capita wage rate would I'M
doubleday have been above 10 per cent.
The figures in condensed form are as
follows:
Number OF reports received, covering
March, 1895. and March, 1899, 1857.
Number OF hands employed:
March, 1895, 191, 7321a.
March, 1899, 26I, 4S61a.
Gain for March, 1899, 1856 per cent
Amount of wages paid:
March, 1896, $6,39S. O4453.
March, 1890, S0,S59, 2S0.3S.
Gain for March. 1899, 54.O9 per cent
Average wages per capita:
March, 1895, $33.36.
March. 1899, $36.S6.
Gain for March, 1899, 10.49 per cent.
Such Is the story of protection and
prosperity as affecting the American
wage Garner. 1t Is story which should
bring JOY to the heart of every Ameri-
can citizen.
