GAINS FOR FARMERS.
A Single Instance In Supplying tie
Glass Workers.


Glass manufacturing has become
one of the leading industries of the
middle west and gives employment to
thousands of worknen in Indiana. I'LL
nois, Missouri and other states.
One OF Americas patriotic citizens.
Thomas S Obear, of ST. Louis be
Neves il to be the duty of all citizens
who have the interest and welfare OF
our country at heart TO lend what aid
they can to reflect our president"
Mr. Obear is president of the Obear-
hester Glass company and a large en-
ployer of labor. He speaks to the
wage-earners and to the farmers who
supply them with food and the mate
rials for clothing as follows:
I'VE wish to state that after the
passage of the Wilson tarilf bill. I'M
der the democratic administration. we
were compelled to reduce the wages
of our skilled workmen, reducing their
wages twice, making a reduction TO
them Of nine and Is per cent, accord
ing to the class of work they per-
formed 1t was very hard for us to
keep our works in operation, and we
were onfy enabled to do SO by such
reduction and by working very hard
to dispose of our product. On ma
terials that we purchased prices de-
clined to the lowest we had ever heard
of, declining in some instances rs and
80 per cent.
"Since the Mckinley administration
we have been enabled TO increase our
product by doubling the capacity OF
our plant We have advanced the wages
of our skilled workmen twice, paying
them now the highest wages ever paid
them. with exception of on one class
Of work-paying them five per cent
less than the highest wages PAID them.
Our sales last season were so per cent.
greater than any previous year. The
price of materials that enter into the
manufacture of our product, includ-
ing fuel has advanced 10 to 20 per
cent. The price of our product, owing
to new methods of manufacturing.
notwithstanding the increased cost OF
production, has advanced only from
five TO ten per cent. to the consumer.
1--WE commenced business in 1891,
and. of course, each year would show
an enlarged business for the first few
years. You will notice that since the
Mckinley administration got into good
working order and the Dingley tariff
bill was passed there has been a large
increase each year in both skilled and
unskilled labor. During the year end
ed September I. 1900, we paid out in
wages, otincluding Office salaries, Q
total amount Of $3.50. 5o7.5o, against
ST, 249.o7 for the year ended Septem-
Der 1, 1898, which was fair average
of our business under the democratic
administration"
Mr.. Obear's statement is typical Of
the glass business all over the coun-
try. 1t is conditions like these which
have induced the president of the
Green Glass association, workingman
and democrat. to declare openly for the
reelection q Mr.. Mckinley.
The 1anzGSaaige.P exer ef th !. gl.ss
than democratic days Of 1894 ana
1898. The direct result is mott only
that these workers are saving n pney.
but that they are buying more from
the agricultural classes than ever be-
fore in the history of the country.

THE OlO STORY
Substantiating the Theory as to the
ROughness Of the Course Of
True Love.

Yesterday afternoon a loving couple
sat On bench beneath massive oak
in Glen Miller park. The oak may
have been sugar tree, by the amount
of sweetness that lowered about it's
trunk. These two were sitting so
close to each other that it would
have taken pile driver to force a
cambria needle between them.
They were utterly oblivious to the
rest of the world, though a mean man
who would tell reporter on them
was not far away, conjuring up ma
terial for next spring S crop of poe
try. There is a walnut tree south of
the spot where the sorghum-making
was in progress, and two wicked
Young men from the city were throw
ing walnuts at mark. The couple be-
meath the tree were oblivious to these
young men, also. But the young
men showed a strange interest in the
process of making. By
and by the maiden leaned
over with her head on
the young mans shoulder and any
one with a particule of imagination,
assisted by memory. could just hear
her murmur Whose ducky is I?'I
Then he relinquished his hold on his
bicycle with one hand, he slipped over
Still closer, and then-and then-he
reached up stealthily and tickled her
under the chinl This appeared to be
the point at which frbearance
ceased to be a virtue for the young
men, as one of them yelled, in tone
that would have done credit to
Comanche, Break away" And then
they ran. The young man and maid
sadly obeyed orders, and soon two
bikes were wend'n NJ III ir way to the
city. Nothing has been seen of the
young men since, and they are prob
ably running yet.

Not Actively Supported.

The Louisiana populists have de-
cided to support the republican party
this campaign. The reason they give
is a sound one. Their resolution says,
among other things. that I'VE con-
slider the paramount issue to the
Louisiana cotton planters-mostly
populists-is the maintenance of ten
cent cotton. which was alone made
possible by republican policies; and
that they should join their brethren.
the sugar and rice planters and the
lumbermen. in having Louisiana vote
for her interests"
The doctrine of protection is max
ing its way in the democratic strong
holds of the south. Mr.. Bryan is not
getting any too enthusiastic support
from his party there. The southern
ers are nearly all in spirit and in be-
lief expansionists and protectionists

MAKES HOME MARKETS.
Increase of Manufactures IL Fol-
lowed by Increased Demand
for Farm Products

Our imports OF crude articles not
produced in the United States, for

to s191. l19.s10 in the fiscal year 1895.
These had increased in 1900 to 1902

BRYAN ON THE FARMERS.
An Emphatic Retaliation of the Pom
OcFat Oracle's Insolent
Assertions-

Republican farmers, look at your
wives, beset by II months of incessant toll
each year. You can't take them to sum
msr resorts and resting places You ought
look at them, to vote the republican ticket
w. J. Bryan. in his Fort Scott Speech.
So long as farmers are willing to al
low themselves to be gulled by such
political demagogues as you are. and
pay you from $500 to 81 500 for speech
that is not worth IS cents on the dollar,
so long they will eat corn bread and
wear wooden shoes. But what are the
facts in the case? In our little bank at
Walnut the individual deposits are $43,-
9s8.25, which is nearly twice as much
as they have ever been since we have
had a bank. And what is so at Walnut
is SO in every bank in the state, and
in every state in the union. In the last
two weeks two farmers near Walnut
had sales to pay the mortgages on their
farms coming due next spring. The
sale of the one amounted to 81 ,275. and
$500 OF it was paid in cash The other
ones sale amounted to 1901. so, and he
received $500 in cash. When the sale
was over they had nearly all the money
IN their hand and could deposit Il in
the bank and be ready to meet the
mortgages when due. The rate Of in
tersst was low. At sales several years
ago the rate of interest was high, and
frequently there was no. enough paid
in to pay the auctioneer and for print
Ing the sale bills. When the notes be-
came due il was very difficult to make
collections. This illustrates the diff
ference in the times then and now
among the farmers. The farmers come
TO town in buggies and carriages They
drive fine horses. have comfortable
homes, Plenty to eat and wear. and
many of them have a nice bank ac-
count TO their credit. and are not the
paupers that you represent them to be.
