PlENTY-S STARVATION.

OF course it does not strictly pertain to
the subject to record an interesting fact
with regard to the general labor situation
in Omaha. which presumably is a typical
Western town, but it may nevertheless
be recalled that the Omaha World-Her
aid was Mr.. Bryan's personal organ in
1896, and during that campaign it made
the prophecy daily that in the event of
McKinley's election the depression and
distress among the working classes
would be widespread The best proof
of the falsity of this prophecy is found
on the want pages Of the World Herald.
A recent issue at hand contains the adj
vertsements of two females and seven
males who want situations, while on the
same page the ''help wanted" advertise
ments ask for 107 females and 115 males.
This is in addition to the agents want
ed" and does not include the advertise
ment for 1000 men for railroad work.
The calamity prophecy was a failure in
Mr.. Bryan's own State, as it was else
where.
Omaha had its share of hard times in
1S93-1S94.

The NEW STAR SpANGlED BANNER.

Oh, say, can you sec, by the far Eastern
light,
What so proudly is hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
after many a fight,
In lands near and far, is so CALAMITY
streaming?
And the thanks in our prayers, rising high
in the air.
Give proof to the World that our flag is
still there;
Oh, say, let that star-spangled banner be
waved
Ger the lands we have freed and the
peoples we've saved!
Oh. thus be it always, whenever we stand
Between the oppressed and Kings
desolation!
BEST with victory and peace, may the
heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made US a
powerful nationi
And onward we must, for our cause it Is
just;
And this be our motto, "In God is our
trust"
Let the star-spangled banner in triumph
be waved
Ger the lands we have freed and the
peoples we've saved!

President Mckinley a Union Man.

In August. 1899, President Mckinley
was made member of the Bricklayers'
and Stone Masons' Union of Chicago
He attended meeting of the union and
was addressed by President Gubbins of
the union, who said, among other things:
1--WE know that you are the friend of
the worAingman and that you are deeply
concerned in all that concerns him.
President Mckinley in reply said, in
concluding his remarks:
1.-THE word l would leave with you is
this: Improve all the advantages and OPP
portunitieS of this free government Your
children, your families, your boys and
girls. are close to your heartstrings, and
my word is to avail yourselves for your

Bryan a False Prophet.

"Tf Mckinley and the Republican par
ty are successful. and put in power for
the next four years, wages will be de-
creased, hard times will come upon us
and over the land the price of wheat will
go down and the price of gold will go
up, mortgages on our homes will be fore
closed by the money lenders, shops and
factories will close. We will export no
goods and we will import from foreign
lands all the goods we use; thus will
ruin, want and misery be with us."-Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, 1896.

Wages to Be Paid in Good Money

Now will we ever consent that the
wages of labor or its frugal savings shall
be scaled down by permitting payment
in dollars of less value than the dollars
accepted as the best in every enlightened
nation of the earth president McKin-
ley's speech at the banquet of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers Of
the United States, at the Waldorf-As-
toria, New York. Jan. 81, 1898.

New Michigan Factories.

There are in Michigan zoos factories
which were not in existence in 1897.
These factories employ $4,000 people,
whose yearly wages amount to about ST.
100000. or these some had employment
in 1897, but many had not. The volume
of idle labor has been so decreased that
the lumbermen, though offering higher
wages than they did in 1896, find it hard
to get men to work in their camps.

We have gone from industrial depres
sion to industrial activity. We have
gone from labor seeking employment to

abundant and unquestionable currency
the world over, and we have an unsur-
passed national credit-better than it has
ever been before in our history
