Too Much Prosperity for Wfcks.

Jack Wicks, the sawmill proprietor Of
Quicksilver Mountain, Mont, has joined
the Missouri railroad fagmen in declar-
ing against too much prosperity. Jack
Wicks is going to vote for Bryan. He
says so himself, and is entirely frank
about the reason.
why" he is reported to have said,
''three and four years ago I could get all
the help / wanted at almost any price
offered, and could put pay days off two
or three months if l chose, and the men
would stay With me. Now l am paying
men $50 month and their keep and
have hard work to get them and harder
work to keep them. If l even look cross
wise at one of them, he calls for his time
and his money. don't dare to let pay

serted. Vote for Mckinley and keep up

NEARLY ALL TIN PLATE

Striking Intance Of the Value Of Protec-
tive Tariff.

The Democrats have fashion Of claim
ing that the tin plate duty is an lmpo-
sition on American consumers. Without
the duty which was originally imposed
by the Mckinley law Of 1880, tin plate
manufacture would never have been be-
gun in the United States.
To-day nearly all the tin plate used in
the country is Of domestic manufacture.
The factories give employment directly
to thousands Of men and indirectly to
other thousands who produce the iron
which goes into the plate.
The United States imports and ,produc-
ton from 1892 to 1898, inclusive, have
been as follows, in long tons:

The following winter the Maine
was sunk by foreign foe, and over
200 American sailors murdered.
Simon was extremely anxious for us

President Mckinley, knowing that we
should not make an accusation without
proof. waited until it was proven that
the Spanish were the perpetrators of
the crime. and until this nation should
be in readiness to settle the difficulty

Factories Ave Au BUSY.

J. w. Knaub, the chief inspector of
the Ohio department of workshops and
factories, has just made his annual re-
port for the year ending Nov. Is, 1899.
The years work ended on that day, the
date being fixed by statute. He says re-
garding the general conditions:
Everywhere the inspector found the
factories crowded to their fullest capacity
and straining every point to fill their or
ders. The hum of the machinery was as
music to the ear OF the mechanic, and
seemed to serve the purpose of Tightening
the burden Of his labors and leave i'm

contentedness."

B. H. Roberts Doubtful About U,

Brigham H. Roberts Of Utah will be
we'll remembered by the American peo-
pie on account of the struggle over his
seat in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Roberts is Democrat. Here arc
his ideas on Utah:
"Candor compels me to admit that
Utah is doubtful State. Four years
ago Mr.. Bryan carried it by $1,000. but
there has been marked change in senti-
ment since that time, and it is serious
question whether the Republicans will
not win this fall. Most Of those who
had left the party on the silver issue
have returned to the fold. and there is a
strong sentiment in favor of expansion.

kins replied that expectations in this line will be fully met.
 "The machine manufacturers in the United States" said Mir. Tompkins, "can make 2,500 900 spindles year. That is the extent of their output. The new mills to be built in 1900 will require 100000 spindles for their equipment, that the mill con- struction this year will be very nearly equal to the capacity of the machine plants to turn out spindles."
 Continuing, MT. Tompkins said
 "New England has 100000 spindles, or which 7,000, 900 are located in Massachusetts. There are now 100000 in the south. At the end of 1900 the south will have 100000 spdndles, and New England will still have 1900 900. In Massachusetts new spindles are being put in on new stun, While the old ones are working coarse stun. Old England has 46,OOO000 spindles, the south 5,000,000 the United States, including the middle states, 10000 900. At the rate of B. GOO new spindles a year, the present rate of increase, ten years from now the United States would have about the same number of spindles as England; of these New England and the middle states would probably have 2O,O0O0OO all on fine goods, and the south 25 ,0OO In other words the United States in 1901 will have as many spindles as England, and the south will have more spindles than New England ana the middle states combined"

 ''The colonial troops, who have been longing to be allowed to meet the Boers, have at last been given an opportunity to do so, and scored a brilliant success.
 ''The raid directed by Colonel Pitcher was very difficult owing to the fact that ahe movements of the troops were imme- diately communicated to the Boers by na- tIves. In order to prevent this Colonel Pitcher, in making his forced march from Belmont, left British trooper at every farm house with instructions not to allow the natives to leave their huts, the patrols calling the names of the natives hourly in order to prevent their escape.
