The Boston Transcript detects signs that
the enemies of the administration are dis
posed to raise the question of the con-
stitutionality of the power of the Presf-
Dent to send troops to China to rescue i'm
prisoned Americans The fantastic New
York Herald and the New York World have
told the President he has no business in
China and that he should get out at once
but 1t is not possible that the un-American
idea of fiag-furling has taken it's advocates
so far away from a sense of national
honor to cause them to question the
right of the President to protect the lives
of Americans i'm foreign lands.

Recently two hundred manufacturers in
the United States were asked to give COM
PARSONS as to the number of wage earners
employed by them and the wages paid in
recent years. The response of these two
hundred employers was that they were
employing 90,4S3 men in 1894, and that they
had no use for more until the year of the
Inauguration of President Mckinley, when
they found employment for 10000 men.
Since that time the number of men en-
ployed has steadily increased until. in 1899,
the number was 174645-an increase of
nearly 100 per cent.
In 1894 the two hundred manufacturers
paid $40, $685. SEQ as wages; in 1897. $751; 412, IA
in 1898. SCI, 247.940; in 1899. SIS, SS5 O69. The
average wages the three years after Mr..
Bryan's defeat was se5,OOO.OOO or s25, OOO, 900
a year more than was paid in 1894, when
Mr. Bryan was starting his silver raid
upon the industries of the country In
three years after the defeat of Bryan the
men employed by two hundred manufacture
ers earned s75.OOO,O00 more than when the
country was under the industrial paralysis
that came with tariff agitation and fear of
an inundation of silver in 1893
1t is evident that the prosperity of the
wage Garner in this country depends upon
the volume of capital invested in manu-
features and in transportation, but chiefly
in manufactures. Statistician Mulhall esti-
mates that the census of 1900 will show the
wealth of the country to be sol .O40 900, OOO
and that the output of the manufacturing
industries alone the year 1S99-190O will reach
one-seyenth of the entire wealth of the
country. The growth is further shown by
a comparison which makes the value of
manufactures i'm 1900 249 on the basis of 100
in 1880. This means that the United States
is manufacturing two and half times as
much now as twenty years ago. During
that period the population of the country
has increased % per cent, while the num-
Der of people employed in manufacturing
has much more than doubled. The most
remarkable extension I'm manufacturing
has come since the Bryan hereses were
overthrow in 1896.
Those who undertake to sneer down the
Republican claim that the unparalleled
prosperity came as the result of the over
throw of Organism will fail. The Republican
prosperity will be potential factor in the
campaign. particularly with sensible men
who depend upon wages.

BARRE, VT, DECEMBER 4. 1900

Gen. T. S. Peck is not to be drown
ed in the rapidly whirling vortex Of
public opinion which has been causing
such a din OF disagreeable noises about
his ears during tie past century OF
his tenacious hold on the funds Of the
Vermont militia. His final retire.
ment from that department of the
state government won for him a per-
lod of rest that must have been great
ly appreciated, for bis Fostering enc.
mics did not take the trouble to seek
him out during all that time. But
now, strangely enough, his nerve has
returned and the public is once more
invited to contribute to the cause Of
professional politics by comforting up
on the we'll known Adjutant General
the title of collector of customs to-
gether with the fat plumb that goes
with it in the way Of compensation.
Perhaps If the state of Vermont is
bound to support General Peck any
way for the remainder of his 'natur-
al life this is about as easy way to
do it as any and then perhaps from the
fact that he will be less before the
public notice than he was while serv-
ing the state as Adjutant General, he
will reflect less discredit upon the
political ring that may be responsible
for decorating him with the regalia
of public office. Should good fortune
favorl the Adjutant General he
will take the place Of Olin Merrill
who now performs the duties of that
position with the greatest satisfac-
to all concerned and whose ability and
popularity are unquestioned. How
ever, many good things have to be
sacrificed when new organization is
established and of course the new ring
that is about to appear before the
voters of Vermont must be excused
for all such errors and omissions which
may be the necessary factors of their
institution. The people of Vermont
are merely asked to be patient and
bide their time, they will all be cor
rallied 10 due order and led up to the
ballot box by the bosses as soon as
they can get their hatlers ia working
order. We are informed on credible
authority that this matter of Peck
vice. Merrill is but the forerunner of
some more equally interesting devel-
opments and those who care to do SO
may gain some valuable points by
watching the various stages in the
growth of the big ring scheme that
is now on foot.
