Il earn the same wages | did two
years ago. | have no new expenses.
| am more careful than ever about
my expenditures. Yet l find that
where l had two or three dollars of
my wages left at the end of the week
two or three yers ago l have nothing
left now"
That paragraph expresses the
thought of many a workingman. He
wonders why it is that he saves moth
ing now, even with greater economy,
when he had little balance left in
his pocket ut the end of the week
heretofore.
The explanation is that given by the
Anthracite Coal Miners Union. Liv-
ing expenses, they assert, have "in-
creased fully thirty per cent. in two
years." The trusts make the differ
ence. By artificially enhancing the
cost of living they draw from the pock-
cts Of the workingman the little bal
ance each week that formerly swelled
his savings. Many a workingman
wonders why the wage that formerly
supported his family runs short now.
The answer is the same A trust made
increase of the cost of living, fully
thirty per cent" means the loss of
his savings to one workingman and
pinching and debt to another.

THE LITTLE LADY OF PEKlN.
From the Chinaman's Point of View His
Empress Is Perfection.

FROM tne Shinhman's Point OF Wow HIS
Empress Is Perfection.
"The Chinese Empress does not meet
completely the Anglo-SaXon demand
for female beauty" writes Poultney
Bigelow in the Womans Home Com
panion but then the Chinaman Is not
wholly satisfied with our type, and on
sound democratic principles the Celes-
tial has some color for his opinion,
seeing that he is one of 400,000000,
while our ideal represents but 75,000,-
900. Personally, it is hard for me to
appreciate the beauty in one who is
short and fat; whose feet are the size
Of salt-cellars; whose flesh has the
modelling of bolster; whose eyes are
oblique, and whose natural skin is
overlaid with white and red paste.
Yet what l am pleased to consider my
taste Is, from the Chinaman's point
of view, merely outlandish prejudice;
and on the standards prevailing in
Pekin the Dowager Empress is easily
one of the handsomest women, exer.
cising personal fascination which en-
titles her to rank with such heroines
as Catherine of Russia or Queen
Louise of Germany. And as to an
tiquity of pedigree the Romanoffs and
Hohenzollerns are mere upstarts in
dynastic enterprise compared with the
power in Pekin, which draws it's au-
thority directly from Celestial sources
in prehistoric eras.
"Let us then admit at the outset
that in the matter of birth, beauty and
political power the Dowager Empress
of China eclipses not merely anything
of its kind in Europe, but throws into
the shade anything dreamed of in this
fair country of ours, whose boast it is
that we have set the standard for
sovereign woman The Chinaman in
general is completely convinced that in
all that constitutes higher civilization
he is the superior of the white man.
He has invented more different kinds
of mechanical improvements than all
the rest of the world put together; his
wise men We're masters of science
when Europe was a bowling wilder
ness; no other country has held togeth-
er so long as this huge empire, and its
subjects not unnaturally conclude that
such grand results must have sprung
from institutions whose excellence is
unrivaled elsewhere. OF these insti-
tutions the highest exponent is the
Dowager Empress and her party"

THE "FULL DINNER PAIL" FAKE.
An Insult to the Intelligence of the
American Workman.

American Workman.
The Republican campaign argument
entitled 1.-THE full dinner pail is at
once a fraud and an insult to the in
telligence and the morality of the
American workingman.
a fraud, because in spite of all that
subsidized press and personally
conducted" corps of campaign speak
ers can say, the administration of Will
lam Mckinley has not meant unlimit-
ed prosperity for the American work
ingmen.
The thousands of unfortunates who
have walked the streets of all our
great cities through the long cold
months Of every winter, willing to
work, but with no work to do, and
therefore no food, save the dole of
charity, and no shelter, save the po-
lice station, are n terrible flaw In the
picture of general prosperity.
The thousands of farmers of the
Eastern States who sell the products
of their hard toll to-day for the same
price that they commanded four years
ago and pay for the necessities Of life
an increased price, are not sharers
in prosperity.
The hundreds of thousands of men
in our great cities whom intolerable
wage conditions have forced to try
the terrible remedy of strikes and
who have found themselves beaten
and baffled by the combinations of
capital against which they fought, and
who face the coming winter, impov-
erished by summer of enforced idle
ness, know that the story of prosper
ity is deceit and snare.
The great armies of miners who
are even now in revolt against con-
ditions that made their lives only pro-
longed starvation, while the corpor-
ations they served fattened on the
product Of their toll, know that the
full dinner pair' is a fraud.
But we said that the full dinner
pair' argument is an insult to Ameri-
can workingmen, and it is. A brute,
beast, can be tolled with dish of
fodder to any slavery, but man, an
American freeman, whether he wears
broadcloth or jeans, knows that there
are higher interests than those that
are represented by SO much bread and
meat. A Government has not done all
that it ought to for the people whose
interests it is supposed to serve when
1t has given them food even in plen-
ty; and the Republican party when it
seeks to cover the gross immoralities
of its four years of power with a din
ner pail; when it says to the working
men of America, Fill your bellies with,
fodder and, like beasts, forget that
there are weightier considerations
than something to eat" insults every
honest man.-New Voice.

The suspension of freedom of dis
cussion is one of the strongest signs
of the Imperialism which seeks to
make itself permanent.
Republicans make objections to q
discussion of the Philippine question
pending the suppression Of an alleged
rebellion.
They object to Mr.. Bryan's criticism
of the Philippine policy because he
supported the ratification of the treaty
which removed Spanish sovereignty.
If the treaty had not been ratified,
then a state of war would have ex-
listed, pending which criticism would
still have been denounced as "stab,
bing the army in the back"

sion seems to be out of order. VIII

Many customs are still practiced at
less and less frequent intervals in the
remote parts of Great Britain of which
we have little ken. A good example of
this is the sin-eater, who plays such an
important part in the Gaelic funeral
of the old sort.
His task is to consume all the sins
resting on the soul of the dead, there
by enabling the corpse to rest peace
fully in its grave.
In view of the responsible and not
altogether enviable nature of his Of
flee, it is not surprising that the sin
eater is invariably some poor and un
fortunate person; for happier circum-
stances would naturally incline him
to avoid such a profession, which is
taken by himself and everybody else
with the utmost seriousness. AS a
symbol of the sins committed during
the lifetime OF the deceased, loaf of
bread and jug of beer are laid upon
the corpse. The sin-eater is then in
troduced and proceeds with much cere-
mony to eat the bread and drink the
beer. Naturally enough he goes
through the ordeal with a certain
amount of zest. for he is not infre
quently hungry, though the possessor
of a well-developed taste for malt
liquors.
