INCREASE OF WAGES
Results of McKinley's Policy of
"Opening the Mills"
Two Hundred Factories Paid Out
Twice as Much Money in Wages
Last Year as They Did
in 1894.

Akron, O.-"In the campaign of 1896
Mr.. Mckinley made one remark that
went to the hearts of the people from
one end of the country to the other.
1t was: Open the mills" said Gen.
Charles Dick, secretary of the republic
an national committee.
"Those three words met with a re-
sponsive chord from the tens of thou
sands who had been idle during the
last democratic administration, and
the empty dinner pail brigade went to
the polls and voted for full dinner
pail and for the opening of the mills.
''In order to gain some idea of the
effect of restoring the home market to
our own people, the republican national
committee sent out blanks to members
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers asking them to kindly fur
nish us with the number of men whom
they had employed in each year from
1890 to 1899, inclusive, as we'll as with
the total amount of wages which they
had paid during the same years.
''We have received 200 replies. These
show that there was a steady increase
in the number of hands employed in the
200 factories until the year 1898, after
which there was an immediate drop of
10000 men in 1894. But under Presi-

emerging from our condition of for

Free silver advocates must see. how
ever, the golden opportunity our pres
ent enormous exports in excess of i'm
ports gives us to once and for all free
ourselves from foreign indebtedness
Did our own people but earn the
$200,O0O,OC0 or more each year now
paid to foreigners for charges incident
to the carriage of our imports and ex-
ports, European gold would be forced
into the United States at an enor-
nous rate to meet the balances due us,
or else Europeans would send back to
us the American securities which they
now hold in such enormous sums and
which at present keep the country a
debtor nation
We have in the past forty years paid
to foreigners easily four thousand
millions of dollars for doing our for
eign carrying, sum that has gone
out and stayed out of the country to
it's permanent impoverishment. Our
national wealth to-day is all of four
thousand millions of dollars less than
it would have been had American
ships carried the same proportion OF
our foreign commerce during the past
forty years that they did during the
preceding seventy years. More than
that, to keep on paying foreigners at
the rate we are now doing for the car
riage of our imports and exports will
during the next quarter of a century
alone, take out of the United States
fully five thousand millions of dollars
additional.
Not only will the country be
drained of this colossal amount, but

mills, the factories, the shipyards

manufactures:
Wages Paid,

''The amount of wages paid by these
same 200 manufactures increased
steadily from 1890 to 1892, then there
was drop in 1893 and another drop
in 1894. During the next two years
wages picked up, but it was not until
1897 that these same manufacturers
were paying out as much money in
wages as they had paid in 1892. The in
crease of their pay rolls in 1898 and
1899 is as gratifying to me as it must
be to the men who are now busy at
good wages.
Between 1894 and 1899 the 200 man
ufacturers of the National association
who reported to us had increased their
pay rolls by upwards of $3S, COO, ,CO0-in
fact, the amount of wages which they
distributed last year was almost double
what they paid out in 1894.
"If this ratio of increase were ap-
piled to the whole country, without
taking into account the number of new
factories that have been started in the
last few years, who can deny that gen.
eral prosperity has visited the coun-
try? And what depth of meaning
those three words: open the mills,
uttered by Mr.. Mckinley less than four
years ago. has really conveyed"

You can't get mans property without
giving him notice in some way. That is
the burden Of decision handed down by
Judge Cray, of Mankato, in the case Of
Hiram B. Cole against. Leo S. Lamm,
brought to determine adverse claims to a
lot in that city. The decision is of state
wide Importance because it affects the
forfeited tax law passed by the last legis-
lature, in that the court finds that the
plaintiff is the owner in fee simple of the
property in controversy and that the de-
fendant has a lien for the amount of the
taxes, penalties and interest assessed
against the land and paid by him. The
court holds that the law Is invalid in as
far as it attempts to divest the original
owner of the right to notice of expira-
ton of redemption provided for by the
law which was in force when the original
taxes were sold to the state. Therefore
the court also holds that certain defects
are not sufficient in themselves to defeat

ODD FLIGHT OF A PIGEON.
Pledged in Railway Station, 1t Reg.
ularly Accompanies a Train
Out and In.

There is a pigeon in Belgium which
regularly flies with the morning train
that goes from Liege to Waremme. It
began to accompany the train toward
the end of January, and it has done so
every day since then, except on three
occasions. The Meuse, one of the lead
ing newspapers in Belgium, vouches
for this fact, and gives other curious
details about the remarkable bird. The
train starts at 9:57 a. M, and crowd
gathers daily to see the pigeons go with
it. The bird wheels around the sta
tion while the passengers are taking
their seats, and as soon as the whistle
is blown and; the journey begins it takes
up a position a little behind the en-
CINE, and then it flies surrounded by
the moist though warm steam, which
it evidently enjoys. 1t retains this po-
sition even while the train is passing
through tunnels, and apparently is not
incommoded in the least by the warm
vapor. When the train reaches it's des-
tination the bird flies swiftly along the
railroad track back to Liege, where it
arrives about 1880 o'clock.
This pigeon was born at the railroad
station in Liege, and consequently is
familiar with trains, smoke and steam.
Until a few months ago it occupied,
with II others, a comfortable cote, and
when this was removed from the sta
ton by order of the authorities it re-
fused to abandon it's old home, though
its II companions at once sought for
shelter elsewhere. This fidelity was
suitably rewarded. The railroad Off
cials gave the bird carte blanche to
search for food wherever it pleased, and
the public literally supplied it with
corn and other dainties. A singular
fact is that on the three days when it
failed to accompany the train Bel
gian engine was used instead of an
English one, and the assumption is that
the fuel consumed by the latter gives
forth steam which the bird prefers to
that of a Belgian engine

The state auditor, Mr.. Dunn, has re-
ceived from the insurance commissioner
statement of the amounts due fire de-
partments and firemen's relief associa-
tions under the provision of the law that

death of Joseph La Porte last evening.
He became involved in an alteration
with Morris Hayes, an ex-soldier, while
eating supper at their boarding house,
Minneapolis, and dared Hayes to fight.
The two angry men left the supper
table and at once started fighting in the
little hotel office. Hayes struck La Porte

the jaw and sending him to the floor.
Spectators rushed to his assistance and
found that La Porte was dead.

ONE MILLION FOR A PAINTING.
Fabulous Price Said to Have Been
offered for a Beautiful Work
of Titan.

The preposterous report that some
one had offered 100000, or 81, 900 900,
for Titian's celebrated painting of "Sa-
cred and Profane Love-" in the Bor-
ghese collection at Rome, is due, in all
probability, to the universal hunger
for astonishing people, although it may
have some color of possibility to the
imagination of kindergarten fnan-
ciers, says the Boston Transcript. In
sensate prices have been paid for
Raphaels, that in the National gallery
especially, which came from the Marl-
borough collection; also for the works
of other old masters, but never any
such incredible price as this. Yet it
would be hard matter to set the ex-
act limit of value in the case of sale
of Titan, more particularly such an
example as the absurdly misnamed
Sacred and Profane Love-" If there
exists in the world a picture worth
81, 100000, who would be bold enough
to deny the right of Titan, the poten-
tate of painters, to be the author of
that work? AS to the picture known
by the title of SACRED and Profane
Love"-a title which Titan did not give
it, and which has needlessly puzzled
many commentators is now gener-
ally considered simply as a fanciful or
| romantic composition.
But Franz Wickoff, German critic,
has evolved theory, which has good
| deal to recommend it, that this picture
| represents an incident in the seventh
| book of the "Argonautica" of Valerius
| Flaccus, the Latin poet, where it is re-
lated that Medea, the enchantress,
| daughter of Aectes, king of Colchis, un-
willing to yield to her love for the
| Greek Jason, is visited by Venus, who
| pleads for the lover and endeavors to
| persuade Medea to follow her into the
wood where Jason is waiting. Titan
! has represented this scene as taking
| place in the open air; the dawn is just
| breaking and rosy streaks appear on
| the horizon. A young woman richly
dressed is seated on one side of foun-
tain, on the edge of which she has
| paced costly casket. Her right hand
4 is in her lap and holds a bunch of
magic herbs. Deeply moved, she gazes
| hXedly before her, lending ear the
while to the persuasive voice of another
woman seated near. The form Of this
woman, around which futters a red
mantle, is of a marvellous beauty.
She rests her right hand upon the foun-
tain's edge and with her left holds on
| high a vase from which issues light
smoke. Between the two women the
god of love is splashing in the water
with his chubby little hands.
| Mr.. Wickoff maintains that in the
beautiful nude figure Venus is easily
recognizable, even when her son is not
there to indicate her presence. The
woman to whom she spoke and who,
though unwilling to yield blindly, still
feels herself drawn by an irresistible
power, is Medea, who betrayed the
| king, her father, and followed Jason,
! the stranger and enemy of her people.

Pillsbury Monument.

The foundation for the monument of
Ex-Governor ]. S. Pillsbury has been COM
pleted and occupies the most prominent
position on the university campus. The
base is of st. Cloud granite, 99x15 feet.
The approach to the statue will be by
three steps. There will be stone bench
around it. The statute itself, which is to
be of bronze, is almost completed, and
arrangements have been made for its un-
yelling Sept. II.
The alumni association which raised
the money for the statue of the univcr-
sitys benefactor, is very proud of its
success. The program for the unveiling
has already been decided upon. 1t will
consist of presentation speech by some
member of the alumni, an address of ac-
ceptance by President Northrop, and the
address of the day by Senator C. X
Davis
