The recent new discoveries of zinc
and lead in southern Missouri, which
have given a spur to industry all over
the state, is only one of the factors
which are giving an impetus to the
business and social development of this
section. The gold discoveries of Colo
RADIO, Montana and other mining states,
which are frequently chrOnicled, do
not attract much attention, but they
are contributing to the immense in
crease in the production of that metal
in the United States which is taking
place every year, and which is likely
to score a bigger gain this year than

These are particularly halcyon days
for the western states. The great grain
crops are contributing their quota to
the sum of the factors which are MAX
ing 1899 the most prosperous yeaJ
which the west has ever known The
gains of this region are reflected in the
table of bank c1earanceS published
every week, the returns of the earn
ings of the railroads centering in this
section, which are given to the public
occasionally, and the total OF the trans
actions of the postomces, which are
given out by the government every
month or two. The figures from the
postoffices, which have just been fur
niShed from Washington, show gain
in every western city, the increase in

WORTHY OF HIS HIRE.
PROSPERITY BRINGS a BIG
BOON TO LABOR.
one Hundred and FIFTY Thousand Oper-
atIves Receive Increase of Wages IA
the Textile Factories of New England
and the South.

The wage-earnerss share in the gen.
traI prosperity is coming to him in
liberal a11Otments- On top of the vast
increase in wages paid, as shown by
the recent industrial census of the
American Protective Tariff league, COW
ering conditions as they existed in
March, 1899, have come additional in
creases since that time which affect
millions of men who work for wages
and other millions dependent upon
them Last week some 10000 opera
tives in the great cotton manufacturing
centers of New England We're granted
a liberal advance in wages Next come
the $4,000 workers in the mills con-
trolled by the American Wooden com
pany, who have just secured an IN
crease of 10 per cent
Last and most significant of all,
since it shows how irresistibly con-
tagious is the epidemic of higher
wages in prosperous times, and be-
cause it brings the wage rate OF that
section more nearly to a parity with
the wage rate of competing localities
in the north, comes the announcement
from Augusta, Ga, that the cotton
manufacturers of that city are to raise
the wages of their 5000 employees on
Jan. 1. This is regarded as an indica-
ton that other mill men of the south
will also take action on the question
Manufacturers in the north, with
very few exceptions, now have granted
taken in spite of the knowledge that if
wages in the south remained
unchanged New England manufacture
ers would be placed at a decided dis
advantage. The news from Georgia,
therefore, is welcome intelligence to
northern manufacturers
1t is estimated that by jan from
a hundred and forty to hundred and
fifty tho sand cotton mill operatives
in the north will be working under an
advance of wages, and that the ad-
vance in the south will bring the total
in the United States to above hun
dred and sixty thousand.
All this is in perfect accord with
the claim that protection tends to
increase wages by increasing the sum
total of employment. The cotton and
wooden manufacturers of the United
States have a stronger grip than ever
before upon the great home market,
with it's 100000 of liberal buyers
Hence the rise in wages. The connec-
ton is obvious and indisputable.

budget of expressions by local business
men concerning the remarkable de-
gree of business health which prevails
in that thriving city The Tribune
says:
Besides business houses which have
come here many people have been
drawn in the general need of more
workmen of a good class in some OF
the factories. This has swelled the
population, which is various1y es-
timated at from SO, 600 to nearly 49,.
600. Tt is stated that the new city dI-
rectory presents enough names to make
the estimate of population over SO. 0O0-
Few people are out of work If they
really desire to labor. Some factories
are running overtime with the largest
forces in their history, which, coupled
with the splendid state of commercial
interest, speaks volumes for South
Bend as an active, growing and pro-
gressive business center"
Uniform testimony to improved con-
ditions and increased volume OF
business are given in these interviews
with the wholesale and retail mer-
chants of South Bend. They all tell a
cheering story of the changes wrought
by Mckinley prosperity"

Last Christmas, in Moth End Road
F'ulLam, there was on view an eror-
nous cake that lowered almost to the
ceiling of the confecsioner's shop. 1t
was made to represent a fortress, and
weighed more than 1000 pounds. In
its composition had been used 500
pounds of flour, 400 pounds of butter
400 pounds of sugar, 600 pounds of
icing sugar, 900 pounds of currants, $50
pounds of sultanas, 800 pounds of can

huge repast of beef, wine and beer had
been partaken of, the guests, to the
number of 10000, saw approaching az

and one-ha1f yard thick. 1t contained,
among other ingredients, Sc bushels of

THREE DEMOCRATS
Thoroughly Disguised with Bryanisn
and Tammanyism.

Thoroughly Disguised with Organism
and Tammany1sm.
Living in the same block in New
York city are three men who voted for
Bryan in 1896, but who now unite in
declaring that they have had their I'LL
of Organism and Tammanyism, and
will no longer train with a crowd that
seeks to belitt1e the coHntry's grand
record of expansion, progress and pros
perity- These converts to Republican,
ism write to the New York Sun as fol-
lows:
ITO the Editor of the Sun.-Sir: We,
the undersigned, take great pleasure in
reading the brief but brave statement
of J. Maginnis in the Sun of Nov %
regarding the level head of our pres
ident, William Mckinley, through all
the country's troubles since the begin
ming of the war with Spain and up to
the present time.
We are three Democrats, living In
the one block, and we all voted for
Bryan in 1886. But listening to the
Tammany snarling at our system of
government, at our progression, at our
successes during our late two years
wars and at our expansion, SO nobly
acquired, and the doctrine of these
same Tammany masqueraders, dis
guiSed in the robes of independence,
liberty and freedom, are in our estima-
ton not safe for the country at large
to follow.
This country is now in the highest
condition of prosperity ever known,
and why not let it continue on that
same road and keep the same good en-
gineer at the throttle?
But the cry is, the workingman
doesn't prosper We are workingmen,
and we say they do, in spite of all the
great hordes of Italians and other
cheap imported labor. We will vote
for Mac next fall, and let we'll enough
alone. H Nolan,

The signers of this declaration rep

leve1-headed American citizen, who can
be fooled sometimes, as he was in 1892,
but not all the time, and who finally
sets his thinking apparatus to work
and figures things out for himself 1t
was inevitable that q result OF this
mental activity a change of political
prediction should occur. Such a
change has taken place, and is still go
ing on all over the country The year
1899 has been a wonderful eye-opener
There are many thousands of men who
in 1900 will follow the program out
