LABOR'S PROSPERITY.
Unanswerable Proof That Working
men Are benefited by Re-
publican Policies.

That the laborng men of the coun-
Try are in more prosperous condition
than ever known before is proven be-
yond any chance of contradiction by
the statistics of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, sent out over the sigma
ture of the president, Mr.. Samuel Com
pers. We compare the disastrous
years of the Wilson bill and democratic
rule. 1898. 1894 ana 1895. with 1899, un.
der Mckinley and prosperity.
In 1898 the American Federation OF
Labor met at Chicago. There were IS
delegates present. IS national trade
unions represented, IS local trade
unions, 10 city central unions and one
state branch, The receipts for the year
were 20,s6462, and the expenditures
$21,3S3. In 1894 the American Fedora
ton of Labor met at Denver, Col.
There were II delegates present, 80 ma
tional trade unions represented, ~ To-
cal trade unions, II city central unions
and three state branches. The receipts
for the year were Sl5,346.4 40, and the ex-
pendiitures Sl1,302.0S. In 1895 the
American Federation of Labor met at
New York city, There were 96 dele
gates present, "a national trade unions
represented, 20 local trade unions, Is
city branch unions and three state
branches. The receipts were S13,7jl.75,
and the expenditures $l5,6l2.42,
In 1899 the American Federation of
Labor met at Detroit. There were lS9
delegates present, IS national trade
unions. IS local trade unions, 81 central
unions and five state branches. The
receipts were $36, 1913, and the ex-
penditures S3O.599.22. Surely labor is
prosperous when the members of this
great organized body can contribute
to the cause as shown by the above re-
ceipts over $4,000 more in 1899 than
they did in 1893, and several thousands
more than double what they did in
each of the Years 1893. 1894 and 1895.
Under cate of August 9, 1860. Mr.. Com
pers stated the number of Independent
local unions to be 1854, city central

evident from these figures that when

MEN AGAINST BRYAN.
Railway Employees Do Not Care to
Return to the Times
of 1895,

The Railway and Telegraph En-
ployes' League of Illinois has issued a
pamphlet giving the earnings of rail-
way employees in the United States for
the years ending June 30, 1895, and
June 30, 1899. The figures, which were
compiled from the interstate com
merce commission reports, show that
the total increase in wages amounted
to the great sum of $77,459,625. The
number of persons employed increased
from 7s5034 in 1895 TO 92s024 in 1892
1t thus happened that there were rail
road "jobs" in 1899 for 1880 more
men than could get Jobs" in 1895.
The railroad employees of the United
States are now being asked TO vote for
Bryan because he will do no HARM
1t is absurd however, to suppose that
they would care to travel back to the
times of 1898. Practically speaking,
they would have not one thing to gain
by Bryan's election. The least that
they would be apt to lose would be that
increase in wages, amounting to a near
ly round $s0,000.0O0. Moreover. they
would not like TO have the extra pros
perity work taken away, which would
mean with 1t the "iobs" OF some 49,
$50 of their present number. To get
work somehow at any wages, those
143,s90 losers Of Jobs would surely
demoralize the entire labor market.
Railroad employees, also as a class,
are too sensible not to know that the
success. of sixteen to one would bring
worse times by far than the country
knew in 1895, bad as those times were.
1t Is self-eyident that with the rail-
roads paying fixed interest on their
bonds in 100-cent gold dollars, and be-
ing compelled to accept as legal tender
for their service as carriers, the new AZ
cent dollars, they could not make
both ends meet" without depriving
a vast number of their employees of the
chance of earning wages in even the
42-cent dollars.

WISDOM FROM DIME.
A Southern Journals Opinion of

1.-THE south is going into the manu-

phis Commercial Appeal, Aug. 30.
With the above lines, written in
the heart of the solid south. where
everything political has gone demo-
cratic for the last half-century, text
can be made out to show that trade
and money matters will henceforth d..
vide the parties. so that in the next
decade it may not be impossible, as
at present, to elect republican gov
ernor in such states as Tennessee and
Georgia. The deep-rooted prejudice
that ante-date the war of the rebel
hon, is not economic, but rather per-
sonal, among its people, and has been
kept up by its leaders Tor political
reasons; for pure unadulterated
Americanism the south undoubtedly
holds its own, as foreign emigration
plays very small part in its popu-
lation.
The white natives are largely of
Scotch-Irish extraction and retain the
old-time, canny shrewdness, virility
and pugnacity of their ancestors,
with their logged faith in principles
old as the hills, which accounts for
their sticking to ideals which are con-
sidered out of date in the rest of the
country. OF course. | am not incluh.

will vote according to their conscience,

If the item copied from one of the
leading newspapers of the south
rightly reflects the trend Of senti-

doubt, as there has been any number
of 'straws' evident to show which
way the wind is blowing in the last
four years. confidence will be re-
