WindfaII to Railroad Labor.

For the fiscal year ended June 30.
1899, gross railroad receipts were larger
by $26G, 149, G23 than for the year ended
June 80, 1895. Such increase mostly rep
resents larger dividends Tin the form of
increased wages) to labor. Similarly
there was n gain over 1895 of SIS, $685.
45S in net earnings. This has gone part
ly into the strengthening of cash ac-
counts, but the greater part of it into
increased dividends to stockholders. 1t
must not be forgotten in this connection
that railroad securities are owned very
largely by people of all classes. They
are recommended to widows for safe in
vestment. They form. the basis, next to
government bonds. for the investments of
insurance companies, and for the trust
funds Of charitable and philanthropic in
stitutions.
In 1898 there was paid in compensation
to employees of railroads the total sum Of
S495, O55, $40, as against $445, sos, 261 in
1895, n gain of $49, 547 1851. When in adj
dition we consider the increased wages
indirectly paid in new construction of
track and bridges, in new cars, ETC., which
absorbed the greater part Of the increases
In gross earnings. it will be more evident
what a windfall just one year OF pros
perity has been to the people who work
on the railroads.
The number of new miles of road built
during the year ended June 80. 1899. was
1850, as against only 1850 for the cor
responding period ended in 1895. OF
course this is significant, not merely be-
cause it has meant increased work and
more money paid in wages, but because
it increased the facilities of commerce.
and because it made it that much easier
for the farmer TO get his products Into
the city to fill the dinner pail of the city
workman.

Story of the Clearings.

The best gauge Of the volume of bust
ness of the country is the bank clearing
statistics. They prove, as no other fig
ures can, the trade movement Never in
the history of the country have they
shown such vast aggregate of business,
such an immense increase as during the
years of the Mckinley administration.
The following figures are from Brad
streets and are accepted as official. The
comparison is made with the year 1894,
as that is the year the Democratic pol
icy of handling the finances of the coun-
try was in full sway.
The grand total Of the bank clearngs
of the United States, as given by Brad
streets, for the first six months of 1894,
were 500, OS5 ,071, 10G. For the first six
months Of 1900 they were S42,S51 POL
316, an increase OF $20,T72, l3O.120. For
the month of June. 1894, the grand total
was $3,576,315, 1889. For the month Of
June, 1900, it was S6,621 ,06S. 7O7, an in
crease of $3,044, 1853, 46S.

Pro.perity ON the Pacific.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in an
interview the other day, said:
Anything produced in the United
States will now permanently find its way
into all parts of the celestial empire. Our
trade relations there in the future are
secured. The trade in cotton goods has
been very heavy in Manchuria and other
northern provinces. Our interests gener-
ally. our dairy. poultry and other products
from the farms of the United States,
now have assurance OF permanent mar
kets in all the provinces throughout the
Chinese Empire where such things are in
demand, and this demand is growing and
will continue to grow.
"The work OF Secretary Hay In this
regard supplements and compliments the
work Of our army and navy. A year ago
no nation would have listened to propO-
sition Of this kind (the open door policy.
but the whole world listens to the United
States now. The white mans burden
came with the islands. Secretary Hays
work brings the reward for lifting the
burden. Some idea OF the vastness OF
the interests involved may be gained from

prosperity Among Miners.

The prosperity of the American miner
the last four years has been remarkable.
The activity of the mills and of the rail
roads has doomed the price OF coal, cop
per, zinc and other metals. These have
yielded far better returns in wages to
those who so thousand feet into the
EARTH" than they would have done had
Mr.. Bryan been elected President in 1896.
The opening up OF the minis to the free
coinage Of silver would never have really
doomed the price of silver, for the silver
OF the whole world would have poured
into America, the nations Of the earth
being only too glad for us to pull their
chestnuts out of the fire for them.
In the mining Of gold in a gold stand
ard country, miners have protited far
more than they would have ever proftcd
by the mining Of silver in silver stand
ard country. The lone, poor prospector,

to ''come in" on the production Of gold.

1.-THE relations between laboring men

to IS per day. and every citizen is salts
fed with the conditions. In other parts
of the State the relations between la
borers and their employers are harmoni-
GUS and pleasant.
"All labor organizations that are based
on law and order are welcomed not only
by the employers of labor, but by all
classes OF citizens. and all such organiza-
tons are In a lourishing condition. Near

ZINC IN MISSOURI.

A few Of the above figures are partcu-
larly instructive. In 1892, at the close OF
the Harrison administration, the Joplin
zinc field produced 131, 48S tons, the av-
erage price of which at the mine was
S21.76 per ton and the total value OF
which was S2,S64,475. In 1894, under
the Wilson bill depression, the produc-
ton Of this same field had fallen to S0,15O
tons, with an average price ut the mine
Of SIS per ton. total value of 81 81 ,9lO.
In 1898 the quickening influence of Nc
Kinley prosperity was fairly under way,
the production rose to 139,66S tons, with
an average price at the mine of S20.96
per ton and a total value of $2,927 ,32l.
Last year, 1899, the full tide of prosper
Ity promised by the Republican party
was flowing in on the Joplin and Kansas
district and the production reached high
water mark in ISL ,430 tons, with an av-
erage value at the mines of S332.93 per
ton and n total value of S5,074,624, or
over four times as much as it was in
1894 The year 1900 figures, when all in,
will show still further increase. Yet
it is probable that the Missouri section
of this prosperous region will utterly iS-
more this wonderful object lesson and
vote for Bryan, free trade and rotten
money. Vote to again close up the fac
tories and bring disaster to their country.

PROSPERITY FOR ZINC MINERS.
Four Years of Mckinley and Protec-
ton Have Enriched Missouri.


Mckinley prosperity and the protective
tariff on zinc and lead ores have, in four
years, added millions of wealth to Mis-
souri, and Kansas. They have made Il
comparatively little strip of territory in
southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas
the greatest zinc mining section in the
world, producing seven-eighths of the
American zinc ore and about one-fourth
of the entire worlds supply.
For years this district, which centers
about Joplin, No., and Galena, Kan,
consisted Of several little mining camps
struggling along and yielding very little
product Mining was done in n crude
and primitive way, and lack of capital to
| operate in n manner BETTING country
so beautifully blessed by nature was
check to development and barrier to
| progress.
Three years ago n change began. The
factories of the East, which had been
alarmed over the Wilson bill and shut
down their plants entirely or in part, had
their confidence restored and resumed
operations to their full capacity. This
created demand for more zinc, which is
used extensively in many industries. New
constantly being found, and additional de-
mands for zinc ore were thereby created.
AS consequence. the attention OF
Eastern and foreign capital became at
tracted to Americas great undeveloped
zinc fields, whose only need was financial
aid. Money, which had been tied up by
cautious capitalists, sought investment.
Wonderful were the changes wrought.
Mines, mining leases and mineral lands
doubled and quadrupled in value, crude
and antiquated methods of mining gave
way to modern methods. The old hand
windlass and horse holster were supplant-
ed by modern machinery. Old abandoned
mines which had been left with their TIM
bers to rot and tools to rust were opened
up again and new mining camps sprang
up all over the district. An era of pros
perity had dawned and the increased de-
mand for zinc had advanced the price to
a point undreamed Of four years before.
The following table is concise history:

Adl.i steven.on,s Prosperity.

The city of bloomington. ILL.,, which Is
the home of the Democratic vice-presiden-
tial candidate, Adlai e. Stevenson, but
recently sold its bonds on q basis which
makes the interest paid by the city on
the loan only $40 per cent. This rate
is lower than any municipality in the
United States could get in 1896.
As a citizen Of Bloomington, Mr., Ste
venson will be able to save some money
in taxes, because Of the good credit and
prosperity that has come to his town as
a share in the beneficial results Of Re
publican policies during the last four
years. The remarkable appreciation in
the credits Of American municipalities
since McKinley's election in 1896. mean
ing great savings to taxpayers. has been
one Of the most interesting features OF
the great prosperity that has come to the
people Of this country.

Cigars Smoked Over Prosperity.

Probably nothing demonstrates prosper
ity more clearly than the consumption Of
cigars.
w. G. HOLSTER Of Chicago, who prints
the blue labels for the Cigarmakers' In
ternational Union and is required to make
affidavit to the number turned out, has
made the following report to President
G. W. Perkins of the union Of the labels
printed during recent years: 1895, A.
$4,000; 1895, 46, 40 900; 1897, 46,546,-
500: 1898. 46,609. 200; 1899. 55,14o,O0o.
During the first six months of 1900 the
number jumped to 36,S55,000. Men can
not afford to buy cigars unless they are
prosperous and earning good wages.

Corn, Cattle and Contentment.

The Secretary OF State Of Nebraska has
compiled list showing that the excess
OF mortgages paid off and released during
1898 over those filed for the same period
amounted to more than $4,000. 600. The
most OF these were paid in cash,
the foreclosures were comparatively few.
II will be hard for Mr.. Bryan to con-
vince the farmers OF his own State that
they are not prosperous.
