As result Of the denial Of their de-
msnd for an increase Of wages $50 coal
miners In the employ Of the Seattle
San Francisco Railway & Navigation
Company, at Lesry. this county. went
out on strike Friday. The officers Of
the company say that It cannot AFFORD to
grant the increase and that the mines
will remain closed unless men can be
found who are willing to work for the
old schedule.
Briefly stated the miners demand an
increase OF 10 cents per car of coal for
the regular miners. and 25 cents day
more for outside or common laborers.
Since the opening Of the mine, less than a
year ago the regular miners have been
paid from Is cents TO SIS cents per ton,
enabling them TO earn from So to 81 IS
for nine hours work. For the month OF
August the average a day was fraction
less than $3.50. With the August earn
ings, as a basis. granting the demanded
increase of 10 cents per ton. the skilled
miners would earn, the company's off,
cials say. 1897 per day.
The common lahorers have been re-
ceivtng seq per day their demand being
for fiat rate OF $3.50.
w. r. Guerin, president of the COM
pany, stated yesterday that a miners
COMMITTEES recently investigated, with
reference TO the claim OF the miners, and
reported that the men had no grievance
He says the Black Diamond Company
pays its operatives a fiat rate of 50 per
day and that experienced men in the
Leary mines, working the same number
of hours q day. have no trouble in earn
ing s35e.
Mr.. Guerin expressed belief that the
strike had been preciptated by agitators
that the rank and file of the operating
force did not favor walking out
: The Leary mines are situated on what
is known as the Palmer cutoff of the
Northern Pacific railroad.

BRIGHT IN THE EAST,
Both New York and New Jersey VIII
Give Their Electoral Votes
for Bryan.


"Both New York and New Jersey
will give Bryan their electoral votes
this fall very positively announced
Representative Thomas j. Bradley, of
New York city, in Washington the
other day. ''There is nothing at all
surprising in this statement to the
student of practical politics and hu-
man nature. Let me explain: Bryan
was defeated by very narrow, mar
gin four years ago, because he was
looked upon as a radical man; a man
with new and untried ideas and prin-
ciples. Hence the great commercial
centers, where the conservative ele-
ment is in control, opposed and de-
feated him. For business. or wealth,
is always conservative and very care
full of anything like radical depar-
ture from old standards and ideas In
other words, money is always afraid
of anything it don't understand. 1t
did not under .tand Mr.. Bryan and his
ideas in 1896, and it therefore strained
itself to beat him.
This year, however, it is just the
o'HA way IL Is hChIh1ey "Ho mas
departed from the ways of our fathers
and left beyond hope of return the
good old ways upon which this ma
ton was founded and built up; and
the wealth of the country, as usual,
does not understand this new thing,
and therefore fears it. 1t is Mckinley
who is looked upon as radical this
year, and the great centers o. popu-
lation and commerce will be against
him. He will be defeated, while Bry-
an, who has taken his old opponents
place as the conservator of the ancient
established institutions of the coun-
try, will be triumphantly elected.
How about New Jersey? Why, IN

THE COMMON MAN.
Growing Trusts and Favored Glasses
Are Narrowing His
Sphere.

Whatever narrows opportunity tends
directly to reduce the grade of mar.
hood. When trusts increase the indie.
pendence of the common man de-
creases, for the fewer the employer
the more the common man will stand
before relinquishing his job, and the
less hope he has of rising out of a
condition of industrial serfdom.
Those who are not engaged in pro-
ducing things for human consumption
all live off the common man. The
services rendered by the nonproductive
in the way of furnishing capital, su-
perintendence, facilitating exchange
of products and so on, may be highly
valuable, but, after all, no cotton could
be raised without field hands. If the
common man is badly paid he cannot
buy more than the bare necessaries
of life, and cannot educate his chill
dren, whose earnings as workers be =
come necessary. Thus he ceases to be
the kind of consumer who keeps the
factories busy, and, crushed in spirit
as well as materially harassed, he can
not be a competent citizen. Ignorance
goes with poverty, and the two are
the parents of dangerous politics.
In order to judge of the health of
our civilization we must look not az
the rich man and the man of talent,
but at the common man. Ii life in
narrowing for him the social doctor
is needed ed.-Philadelphia North Amer.

NOTHING BUT CANT.
"Eesh evidence That the Repub-
Hcans Are Not at Outs
with the Trusts.

1here are alany reasons why the
people distrust the antitrust dec
laratlon III the republican platform.
II VIII be recalled that President Nc
hlhIey attorney general seemed in
haste TO declare the Sherman anti
trust law defective and useless; that
the attorney general in the presi-
oents own state was refused a re-
nomination after he had shown a dis
position to enforce the law against
trusts; that the presidents neglect
OF what he had said was his "plain
uuty IN Porto Rico was charged to
the influence of certain trusts; that
chairman Hanna made a positive de-
1ense OF the principle underlying the
existence of the trusts, etc.
There is now an added reason why
the sincerity of the leading republic
ans who promise antitrust legisla-
ton should be questioned. Chairman
Hanna's chief assistant-his first
lieutenant, his right-hand man and
MS substitute at the Chicago or west
ern headquarters of the republican
national committee-is Henry c..
Payne. This Mr.. Payne was for
many years the chairman of the re-
publican state committee of Wiscon-
sln' and later political agent for
the Chicago, Milwaukee S5 st. Paul
railroad. He was mentioned for a
place in the cabinet of President Nc
klnley as reward for his services as
Chairman Hanna's assistant in 1896.
For some time he has been the vir-
tual head of the syndicate which
owns the electric railways and light
plant of Milwaukee. 1t is announced
that he has become the head of the
electric trust. which will monopolize
the electricity interests of the
Badger state-the Wisconsin Trac-
