MCKINLEY PROSPERITY.

1t is amusing nowadays to pick
up the averge republican news
paper and note its jubilations over
the great era Of prosperity during
the Mckinley regime. Now what
are the facts in the case2 Today,
in New England, over million Of
honest toilers are putting in most
OF their time riding on freight
trains from town to town! 1t is not
an uncommon sight to see from
one hundred to one hundred and
fifty men riding on a freight train
daily, on the New England roads.
If this great nation is ready to
burst with prosperity, how is
it that all the large mills in all of
our greatest manufacturing cities
are already or just about ready to
close down. Staring the real situa-,
tion in the face the facts are ap.
palling. In the great cotton and
wooden industry over one million
men are idlel In Pennsylvania, |
on last Monday, one hundred and
and forty thousand starving min
ers were compelled to strike to
save their little ones from starva-
tion. And that is only the com.
mencement Of the labor trouble.
Add to this long list the one mil
lion or more men who are on the
tramp from year to year and then
Try to revel in visions Of Mckinley
prosperity if you dare.

The report of Inspector Wright
appears in this issue, showing the
amount of revenue collie cted from
all sources in the Cherokee nation
by the agents of the interior de-
partment. The report is sur
prise TO most Cherokees, as many
had come to believe that very lit
tie money thus collected would
reach the Cherokee treasury. The
largest amount, as will be seen
from the report, comes from the
merchants, and the next largest
from hay, Very little cattle tax
is shown. This is the first report
Of the amounts collected that has
ever appeared in print, and will
be read with interest throughout
the Cherokee nation. 1t is a very
creditable showing and is pleasing
