The republican press ia Just at pres
emit indulging IN big headlines aud
all sorts of typographical inventions
to call attention to the assertion that
two or three of the trusts have raised
the rate of wages, Thousands Of
wage workers are made happy they
say. When the truth is published il
will be seen that the whole story IS a
lie ss usual. Last year these trusts
reduced wages Of all employees about
Is per cent. The wage workers have
stood 1t until they have began to brsg
about prosperity having returned, and
then made demand that wages be
restored to what they were before the
reduction. They have only succeed
ed in part. They got restoration of
from 5 to 10 per cent, but the rates
are still far below what they we're
before this era of Mckinley prosperity
