OF the other famous places. While al Sour

Strikes and Their Cost.

The Manufacturers Record, Of Bait!-
more, one Of the most reputable trade
Journals published in the country, and
also the fairest, recently had remark
able article on the cost of strikes. pre-
sentlng some astounding figures
on the relative loss to capital
through labor troubles. 1t bases Its
calculation on the supposition that
there are 2GOOO.OOO workers In the
United States to-day. and that there
never has been a time when 30 large a
percentage Of them were at work as In
the past two years, nor when the aver
age Of wages paid was so high. nor the
aggregate wage Of the country so great
The Record then goes on to show the
disastrous effects Of strikes 1t says;
Taking the skilled and the unsiilled,
the laborer. the professional man and
those engaged in personal service, the
whole force as they run, and they Gre
ate, on an average, wealth to the
amount Of about 5000 per year per capI-
tn. And most of this they consume,
And they consume It, in great part,
whether they earn 1t or not.
when strikes set In, after n long per-
Iod Of high production, they check con-
sumption in a great many ways This
year they have been aimed at the vitals
OF the machinc-at coal. TO stop power,
at building, to stop all the allied build
ing trades in large centers OF conmmp-
ton. Not only the men who strike nre

The New York Times very properly
asks, what are the Boer delegates here
for? 1t is an interesting question and
can only be answered definitely with the
lapse Of time. What we do know at
present is that the pestllentIul Petit
grew, who has never let an opportunity
slip to slang whang the administration,
is a bosom companion with these gen
tlemen, together with sulzer, Lentz,
wellington and the inconsequertIal but
acrid BILLY" Mason. Of Illinois. They
love the Beers because they can push
them up against President Mckinley
for campaign purposes. That is all they
love the Beers for, 1t is a hypocrItical
affection, and the majority Of the people
know 1t.
The Times, in discussing the presence
of the delegates Of the South African
republic In this country says:
1.-THE Boer delegates have called upon
the secretary OF state and have received
from him the assurance. given with
courtesy but perfect frankness. that
this government will make no rtpresen-
tatlons to her majesty's government
upon the subject of the war in South
Africa and will not in any manner
change its attitude of complete neutral
ity. They have also called upon the
President. 1t is reported that in the
course Of pleasant conversation upon
the weather and the charm of the view
from the rear porch of the white house
the President took occasion to repeat
the assurance given on the previous day
by Secretary Hay.
Neither at the state department nor
at the executive mansion did the gen
tlemen from the Boer republic present
credentials establishing their official
status. Yet 1t is reported that upon the
cards which they use in their visits Of
ceremony they are designated as minis
tiers plenlpotentIary.
THE public curiosity is aroused anu
the interest of the state department
may later be awakened to know with
deHniteness the reason why these Boer
gentlemen have honored US with visit.
What is the object they seek to accom-
pllsh? II they came as ENJOYS with an
official mission to ask our mediation
they have failed, and correct usage re-
qulres that they now. without unseemly
delay, take their leave. II they have
chosen to withhold their credentials,
presenting themselves informally at
Washington in order to preserve their
freedom OF action for campaign OF
agitation or sympathy in the company
of senator's and congressman unfrteud-
" to the administration. 1t may become
necessary to inquire through Consul
Hay, at Pretoria, whether such a pro-
ceeding has or would receive the sane
ton and assent Of their government
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1900-05-25

and the wealth they create. aided By
machinery and large capital. But 81
100000 a day is the cost OF war that
takes 100000 soldiers"
Continuing Its Instructive citations OF
the immense cost to the country OF
strikes and the decrease of the wealth
OF the land, the Record states:
But suppose, instead OF one out of
twenty-BiH, It Is two. That means
100000 loss in daily earnings, and yet
100000 Of the 100000 spent in liv-
ing. We may not see how. But every
body lives and somebody foots the bills,
and generally 1t is the fellow who, from
laziness or dishonesty, or both, is try
ing to shlrk work. It is taken out of
him somehow or other. And $4,000
a day offsets all our big exports, and
a year of 1t would more than pay of
the national debt. And It is more than
the cost OF our great civil war in its
most expensive period. Suppose 1t Is
three, or four, or FIVE. which means
S1.sOO0OO,O0 900 or $2.4OO, 100000 or $1,000

life, should try and grasp the cost OF
a strike. He should think Of Its gen
eral cost, direct and indirect. to the
country and to his own locality, which
may mean the downfall or removal OF
some industry that supports town or
a city. He should realize that he is
playing with something that costs from
as much as big war up TO five times
us much, day by day. and think whether
1t is worth the money. He should
realize that the cost falls most heavily
on the women and children. He should
be sure Of one thing, absolutely, that
the thing to be gained Is worth the
cost. and as sure as he well can be that
there is at least a living and more than
n fighting chance to gain It, Above all.
he should be sure that the practical
result Of 1t Is not notoriety for some
so-called leader who likes notorlety bet
ter than he does work, and money gain
ed by selling out this crowd instead of
honestly earned by work. Strikes come
high. They should be very sparingly
used,

The fact that the export trade balance
in favor OF the United States during
the FIRST three years OF President Nc
Klnley's administration amounted to
$1.4sS. 100000 should set the people to
thinking. More than one-half Of that
sum represents what was paid for labor
in manufacturing these exports. for
which the rest of the world paid. In
other words the Republican policy has
obliged the world. in the last three
years. to pay at least S4O,OoO.OOO to
American labor, which would employ
100000 men for one year at a salary of
$1,000 per year. This is one reason why
work is plenty, wages good, and the
home consumption of American pro-
ducts has largely increased.

An Echo of Popullsm.

The Democratic party to-day, at least
that horde of freak malcontents which
stands for it, is but the echo Of Popu-
ism. In 1896 the Democratic conven-
ton at Chicago crashed through all the
definite principles for which the Demo-
cratic party had stood and evolved a
crazy quilt platform, filed with vagar-
les fallacies and anarchy. But 1t got
ahead of the Populists, and that mon
grel organization was compelled to en-
dorse the nominee Of the Chicago con-
yention, but threw overheard Its Vice
presidential candidate, Arthur sewell.
Rut this year the tables are turned. and
the Democratic party will be compelled
TO endorse, at least, the head of the
Popullst ticket, and 1t may be compeu-
ed to swallow the tall, something II
could not make the PopulIsts do.
Never BEFORE" says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, "was the Democratic
marty cornered in this fashion many
weeks before the meeting Of its national
convention. II 1t should nominate some
other man than Bryan 1t finds him In
the field as a full-hedged candidate OF a
branch of the Populists. If it dominates
him and fails to endorse the Sioux Falls
platform it repudiates the formally ex-
pressed views of its leader and brings
into the campaign an absurd sslt-con-
4.,5,o.ior There was a tine when
Democratic candidates were expected to
pledge themselves before conventions
TO abide by their action. But II the
Democrats fail to nominate Bryan at
Kansas City he will be the candidate oil
another party, and If they reject the es-
sential features of the platform which
BRYAN fixed up for the Sioux Falls Pop
ulists, attempted fusion will be ridicu-
lous."
But in simple justice to Mr.. Bryan 1t
must be said that he has taken no
measures to concede his warm sympa-
thy with the Populists. Why should hG'
when he sprung Mlnerva-like from that
organization into the Democracy in
1896. He laid down the course OIL action
for the Kansas City convention when
he inspired the resolutions at Sioux
Falls and directed the proceedings Of
that gathering with written instruc-
tons. What the Democratic convention
should do is outlined in an interview at
Columbus, Ohio, some weeks ago. when
he said: II think that the Chicago plat
form should be reaflrmed and that part
referring to the financial question
should be specifically referred to. am
in favor of positive declaration In
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of l6 to l. think
the ratio should be specifically stated
have not said at any time that in my
opinion the silver question should be
kept in the background, as an alleged
quotation in western newspapers has
It."
1t is no wonder that the Sound Money
Democrats are holding their organsza-
ton intact and again preparing to fight
Bryan-thIs time to the death.

ing definite can be ascertalned as to
the ultimate disposition of the property.
Both the Pennsylvania and the Baltl-

chasers. Probably, however. 1t will be
arranged to operate the bridge struc-

probably as a Joint property. instead Of
as an independent corporation rs here

accommodate the traffic Of all the rail-

and Il is not likely that the structure
would be appropriated to the use Of
one company, or It's ownership so held
that the use Of its facilities would be
restricted to one line. or made burden

quoting his speech made in Philadelphia

by the facts. The Intelligencer got It's
information from the reports Of his
speech in the Philadelphia papers,
which we had reason to suppose were
accurate. The reverend gentleman
