WAGE SLAVERY.

IScCchIy viz VoUeCo h1o "ooi
prying bit into the subject of
wages paid to labor. There are
hundreds of thousands of workers
in New York-and for that matter
their like exists in every corner of
the land-whose average yearly in
come won't reach 5000. On this
they must support family. The
World lately told at length of a
woman and her child whose income
and the woman sewed night and
day-was 81 20 week. Such con-
ditions are worse than slavery.
They are better than slavery for
the employer, for slave-labor and
slave-ownership would cost the
employer more. And for all that
the administration choir SO con-
stantly and with upturned thank
full eyes, chants of persistent,
sweet prosperity, labor conditions
grow worse and the poor grow lean
and poorer. It's state of economic
affairs to evoke thought and throw
a shadow of gravity across his face
who hopes for the peoples advance
ment. 1t likewise recalls some old
slave time eloquence. Forty years
ago the southern owner of black
chattel-slaves tainted the north
with the holding of white wage
slaves. In a lecture on land in
favor of slavery delivered in Ire
mont Temple, Boston, January "a,
1856, Senator Robert Toombs, Of
Georgia, said of the black slave:
"He is entitled by law to home,
to ample food and clothing, and
exempted from excessive labor; and
when no longer capable of labor, in
old age and disease, he is a legal
charge upon his MASTER" while of
the white slave he truly said:
"Uuder that system man has be-
come less valuable and less cared
for than domestic animals;* in
short, capital has become master of
labor, with all the benefits, and
without the natural burdens of the
relation" In the course of this
same lecture he used the following
prophetic language: "The moment
wages descend to a point barely
sufficient to support the laborer
and his family, capital cannot af-
ford to own labor, and it must
cease. Slavery ceased in England
in obedience to this law, and not
from any regard to liberty or hu-
mainly. The increase of population
in this country may produce the
same results, and American slavery,
like that of England, may find its
euthanasia in the general prostra-
ton of all labor" In other words,
chattel-slavery finds its easy death
in wage slavery. Does Toombs'
long ago words find no echo these
times?-The Verdict. N. Y. City.

The writ of review issued by Judge
Clancy few days ago in the case of the

Fleming was guilty Of the offense, but at

Mr.. Bryan and the Hill Boom

Is not this latest deliverance of Mr..
bryan. which appears in print today, in
fnoed TO put stop to the talk about Mr.,
fiil for Vice President? Such a view seems
|;lly authorized. That talk within the mast
Feek has been spreading. 1t originated in
few York. and at first seemed but a con-
Fibution to the gossip which on the eve
national convention always takes a
ide range. But there are echoes OF it now
Kentucky. Indiana, Illinois and as far
tuth as Arkansas. and evidently the sug-
|estion appeals with some force to demo-
Fats In what may be termed the Bryanite
frritory. Has this displeased Mr. Bryan?
ices he wish to call his followers to a
carer sense Of their duty? Does he fear
pat they are beginning to calculate too
UGH on mere success. and In doing so are
sing sight Of their principles?
Examination Of the interview shows that
r. .5ryans real object was to express him
If as to his running mate. His remarks
bout the platform are but repetition Of
hat he has said many times on that sub
CT. There was not the slightest reason
by he should speak again as to that. But

Humidity.

This Is a warmer day than yesterday. as
the mercury goes, but 1t is by means as
depressing. The difference between the
two days Is that between the relative de-
grees of atmospheric humidity. yesterday
excessive, today approaching normal. Yes
terday's air was leaden, carrying but little
vitality to the system. The heat gave the
bodys pores more work than the saturated
air permitted them to do The day was
one of .'soggy" weather. with people COM
planning Of suffocating heat. whereas the
temperature records were not exceptionally
high. Yesterday at noon the thermometer
stood at IS degrees. today at noon "a de-
grees. But yesterdays rs degrees meant
far more than todays 81, because Of the
wet air. 1t has been averred by some SCI
ent1sts that there are more 'sunstrokes"
when the air Is "muggy than when it is
hotter but dry. This, If true, would be &C
counted for by the ebb of vitality, in turn
caused by the noxious influence Of the
moisture-laden air. The lungs must have
oxygen in abundance or the system DROPS.
If the air inhaled is clogged with moisture
naturally the relative percentage of oxygen
must fall. Hence the feeling of suffocation
on such days as yesterday. Collapse may
easily occur If a person thus weakened
should undertake any severe exercise.

the democracy grudging support. is eligi-
Bile for second place on the national ticket

out, must not be divided against itself. The
two men who compose 1t must stand for

Dunninx the sultan.

1t is announced that the American charge
d affaires at Constantinople has presented
a note to the porte insisting upon an i'm
mediate reply to the demand for pay
ment Of the indemnity claimed by the
United States. There Is no mention of
such q framing of the note as to give 1t
the character of an ultimatum. For effect
as an utimatum demand must assert an
alternative to follow refusal to grant the
desired terms Usually this alternative
takes the form of a warlike threat. In
the case Of Turkey, should the United
States go so far. 1t is expected that the
threat would be of American occupation of
Turkish port Of entry and the forcible
collection Of the indemnity from customs.
This was recently done by England in the
case Of recalcitrant Central American
republic. There are grave complications
possible In Turkey, however, absent from
ordinary international disputes. ind this
fact alone would cause the United States
to proceed conservatively In Its efforts to
force payment from the sultan. The porte
will now have further chance to test the
American policy and to ascertain whether
this government is in earnest or not. The
usual Turkish course Is to do nothing and
rely upon the very weakness Of its interna-
