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 go a thousand feet into the
EARTH" than they would have done had
Mr. Bryan been elected President in 1895.
The opening up Of the mints 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
ehestnuts out OF the ire iof them.
In the mining of gold in a gold stand
ard country, miners have pro6ted far
more than they would have ever proited
by the mining of silver in silver stand
ard country. The lone, poor prospector,
and the grub stalker" have had q chance
to come in" on the production of gold,
whereas silver mining has always been
under the control Of wealthy syndicates,
and of individuals like Mr.. Clark of Mon
tana, whose wealth enabled him to buy
Democratic Legislature to elect him
Senator, and to contribute 500, 900 to

PROSPERITY IN IDAHO.
Report OF State Bureau of I'm m gra-
tion Labor Statistics Proves 1t.

Report OF State Bureau of I'm m Rra-
tion Labor Statistics Proves 1t.
"There are few, IL any, States in the
Union where laboring men are better
treated, get better wages and have more
opportunities to acquire homes and Sc
cure competence than In Idaho.
The relations between laboring men
and their employers in this State are un-
usually pleasant. With the single ex-
ception Of one county in the State there
have been no strikes for years in the
State and no labor troubles Of any kind
In this county labor troubles are now
in fair way Of being satisfactorily set
tied. The mines are being worked by a
good set of men, who are paid from So
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 organixa-
tions are In hourishing condition. Near
ly all, IL not all, Of the labor unions have
a hospital fund and many OF them have
halls where the meetings OF the union are
held. while In some instances there are
libraries In connection with the unions
that contain the best books on literary,
philosophical and scientific subjects. As
q class the laboring men OF Idaho are
sober, Industrious, frugal, well educated
and Intelligent"

Cigars smokeI Over Prosperity.

Probably nothing demonstrates prosper
ity more clearly than the consumption Of
cigars.
w. G. Hollster Of Chicago, who prints
the blue labels for the Olgarmakers' 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: 1898, A.

500; 1893, 46,609. 200; 1899, 55,140, 900.
During the first six months OF 1900 the
number jumped to 36,S55, ,o0o Men can
not afford to buy cigars unless they are
prosperous and earning good wages.

Kansas In 1899, from the beginning of
Indiana to the end of Nebraska there is
nothing but corn. cattle and content

And he added little later: '"The joyful
sound OF the mortgagor paying of his in

ears OF the money changers Of the East"
Nothing can exceed the breezy joy, the
piano and top-buggy buying enthusiasm
OF the Kansan in the year Of his pros

Prosperity Dividends to Farmers.
Last years prosperity dividends paid
by the Republican party to the farmers
of the United States amounted to up
wards of one billion dollars. The value
of ten staple crops showed for 1899 to-
tai increased value of 1923 100000 over
1895. Add to this increase an advance
OF $633, 900, 600 during the same period in
the value of live stock, and the balance
sheet shows disbursements Of round
billion. This does not include the special
profits from better prices for fruit, but
ter, cheese, eggs, vegetables and lastly,
but not leastly, wool. Following are
comparisons Of values Of the principal
prOns.

Nebraska,s Prosperity.

The Secretary OF State of Nebraska has
compiled a list showing that the excess
OF mortgages paid off and released during
1898 over those filed for the same period
amounted to more than $50, 900. .000 The
most OF these were paid in cash,

Observation-Disclosures

Proven by the History of the American
Federation of Labor.
That the laboring men of the countrs
are in more prosperous condition than
ever known before is proven beyond any
chance of contradiction by the statistics
Of the American Federation of Labor,
sent out over the signature Of the presi-
dent, Mr.. Samuel Gompers, who is 4
Democrat.
We compare the disastrous years of the
Wilson bill and Democratic rule-1892,
1904 and 1Sa5-with 1890, under Nc
Kinley and prosperity.
In 1893 the American Federation OF
Labor met at Chicago. There were 80
delegates present, 3S national trade UNI
ions represented Is local trade unions
10 city central unions and one State
branch. Tie receipts for the year werS
SIC, ,S64.62, and the expenditures $21, ,3S3.
In 1904 the American Federation OF
Labor met at Denver Colo. There were
II delegates present, 80 national trade
unions represented, II local trade unions,
IL city central unions and three Stats
branches. The receipts for the year wers
$15,346.43, and the expenditures $17;s
302.0S.
In 1895 the American Federation OF
Labor met at New York City. There
were SO delegates present, 81 national
trade unions represented % local trade
unions, 15 city central unions and three
State branches. The receipts were $l3;
T51.76, and the expenditures $15,612. AZ.
In 1899 the American Federation OF
Labor met at Detroit. There were 189
delegates present. 55 national trades un-
Ions, 65 local trade unions, 81 ce.tr&
unions and five State branches. The &c
ceipts were $36, 1918, and the expendt
lures $50, 1922.
Surely labor prospers when the mem
bers of this great organized body can
contribute to the cause, ms shown by the
above receipts, over $4,000 more in 1899
than they did in 1893, and several thou
sands more than double what they did in
each of the years 1893, 1894 and 1898.
Under date of Aug. 8, 1900, Mr.. Comp
ers stated the number of Independents
unions to be l,l54, city central unions
19l. State branches IA.
1t is evident from these figures that
when the American Federation of Labor
meets in December next there will be q
showing of progress made and increase
of membership, all accomplished under
labor's prosperous conditions, such as no
labor organization has ever before made
Larger Exports of Farm Products.
The agricultural reports show that our
sale Of agricultural products abroad dur
ing the past three years. 1897 1890. wers
more than $500 ,0000 600 greater than is
the preceding three years, 1S941S96.
Exports of butter were worth, in lS95,
$915,533; in 1899, s3,263,95l.
There were 425352, 1877 pounds of ba-
con exported in 1896 and 582, 1851, ,4Se

Now, Mr.. Editor; I know nothing OF
this matter. only what u have learned
from reading the Tar. but shall be
glad to learn that the city council. or
some one speaking for It. is able to
show that It's Anal action in this case

"A. C. LOCKWOOD.
There has been much ado over lit
tie matter in connection with the coun-
ellis action, as the T.-R. views 1t. The
,gist of the whole matter is this: The
water committee favored the east side
of the levee Wholly because a shorter
route to the pumping station could be
secured and proba bly, $500 saved to the
city. The balance of the council voted
for the west side because of the trouble
the city had had with Mr.. Cation, and
they wanted to avoid further dealings
with him If possible and considered 1t
worth $500 to escape him. AS to the
quantity or quality Of the water there
could be little or no difference.-Edi-

Marshalltown, July 6-Mr. Editor: It
may be rather late In the day, but hav-
ing read your accounts OF the proceed
sings OF our city council in relation to
the location OF those wells for the sup.
plying of the city with water. also Mr..
Cations letter In regard to the same,
there was something in the action of
the council in deciding to locate them
on the west side of the road which, to
say the least, puzzled me- and being a
resident OF Marshalltown and a tax
payer 1t may not be anliss for me to
ask a few questions. 1t seems that
the council appointed committee to
decide as to the best place to locate the
wells. and after that committee had
gone over the ground and taken every
thing into consideration they brought
In report in favor OF locating the
wells on the east side: but the council
instead Of accepting the report Of the
committee as final voted to locate them
on the west side, thus multiplying the ac-
ton OF their own committee. Now, the
question Is, did the council consider
these men competent to investigate and
decide as to the location OF the wells
II not, why appoint them? And II they
were competent, why turn them down
after they had brought In their report?
It seems to me that Mr.. Cation makes
It clear, In his letter. that 1t will be to
the best interests OF the city to locate
the wells on the east side. In which cons
lclusion, if ] remember correctly. the
