Their Turn Came at Last.

1t Is announced in dispatch from
Birmingham, Ala, that a number of
furnaces In that State are undergoing re-
pairs, and that within the next two months
there will be at least half dozen furnaces
in operation which have not turned out a
ton of iron in three years and longer. The
dispatch adds that furnace men in that
section of the country seem to be satisfied
with the conditions.
There is nothing remarkable in the news
contained 10 this dispatch that number OF
additional furnaces in Alabama are soon to
be put in blast. News of that sort has
been of daily occurrence since the passage
of the Diugley law. Neither is it remark
able to hear of furnaces which were obliged
to shut down in the days of Cleveland and
free trade But the one remarkable thing
about it is that these furnaces have been su
late In getting into the industrial procession.
II has not been because of any lack of de-
mand for their products Under the
prosperity brought by the restoration OF
protection iron and steel plants, like all
other manufacturing plants In the country,
have been hard put to 1t to meet the de-
mands for their products, and most OF them
are behind in their orders. New plants
have been established, and have been
crowded with work from the start. There
must have been some special reason why
these particular furnaces have not been put
In blast before. But no reason could IN
definitely stand In the way of the prosperity
which the policy of protection inevitably
brings to every industry, and these
Alabama furnaces were bound to see theiI
turn come in good time.

A Story Worth Repeating.

No matter how much has already been
said, there is always something more to say
about the wonderful prosperity of the
south, under the impetus given to the
growth of American industries by wise
economic legislation. Mr.. f. l. Brown,
second vice president of the Plant system,
although he recognizes that the tale of
southern prosperity is getting to be an old
story, says: ''It In 81 we'll known a fact
that the south Is having wonderful period
OF prosperity that It would seem to be quite
unnecessary to repeat the story" yet he
cannot refrain from adding his little to the
general story. These are bis words: "As
q matter Of fact, there Is an astonishing
revival In every way and In almost every
line In the south. New manufactures are
spriEging NJ, while The boom In the lumber
and phosphate industries IS as substantial as

Governor Roosevelt has had no small
amount of attention again lately as a
possible candidate for the Office of vice
president of he United States. As gov
ernor of the state of New York Colonel
Roosevelt occupies no mean place in
American politics and in many respects
is more of power than any vice presi-
dent has ever been. But Roosevelt
would be more of power in the vice
presidential chair than others have
been and perhaps even enough more to
make him even more influential than
as governor of New York, and that is a
possibility which is evidently being
weighed very carefully now, along
with various other considerations by
Governor Roosevelt However, In which
lever place his name appears. the people
will still have the example of his sterling
American manhood before them and
will still expect great things of him.

FACTS THAT SHOULD TALK.

Difference in Purchasing Power OF the
Wage-Earner's Dollar.
That was very clever cartoon OF
Da,rymple's, in the issue OF Puck" OF
January 10. 1t was entitled, "The Evolu-
ton OF the Dollar"
1t showed the difference between the
purchasing power OF the wage earner's dol
lar 10 1878 and 1900, as we'll as the differ
ence between the earning power OF the
capitalists dollar In 1875 and 1900.
In 1875 the wage Garner holds mp very
small dollar to match the capitalists big
dollar. Then the interest on money was
from to 10 per cent, while coal cost 50 a
ton, -four S12 barrel, coffee 80 cents
pound, sugar 10 cents pound, shoes IS a
pair, kerosene oil so cents gallon, gas SS
/, 900 feet cotton cloth 90 cents yard,
clothes $50 suit, and other things In
proportion.
In 1900 the capitalist holds up very
small dollar to match the wage earner's
very big dollar. Now the rate of interest
on meney ranges from 21S to 81 per cent,
while coal costs IS ton, -four S5.S5 bar
rel, furniture Is so per cent cheaper, coffee
Is 80 cents pound, sugar is ~ cents a
pound, shoes are 81. so a pair, kerosene oil
is 10 cents a gallon, gas is 81 l 200 feet,
cotton cloth is cents a yard, clothes are
$40 d suit, and so on.
What an object lesson this Is! How !,
answers the cry of the demagogue that the
poor are getting poorer aud the rIcn richer
all the time!
And while making the comparison, let us
not forget tina, wages are from 10 to rs, and
even 80 per cent higher than they were in
1875, while the tet hour day has given way
to the nine-hour day, ard, in some in
dustries, to the eight-hour day.
Facts like these talk. At least, they
should talk, and they should do something
10 convince US that the world is really piO-
crossing, and that the struggle of the
average man for a living Is getting easier
and not harder all the tme.-JOhn G.
