Keep the boy off the streets If YOU
would keep him out of the penitentiary.
And there are some girls in Spokane

WHAT PROTECTION DOES.
The Republican national committee
sent out blanks to members of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
asking them to furnish the number of
men whom they had employed in each
year from 1890 to 1899 inclusive. as well
as the total amount of wages which
they had paid during the same years.
There we're 200 replies. They showed
a steady increase in the number Of
hands employed in the 200 factories
until the year 1893. There was an i'm
mediate drop of 10000 men in 1894.
when they employed sO.lSs men. But
in 1897 they employed lOs.sOO; in 1895.
.42s men. and last year 174,s45 men.
In short the number of wage-earn-
ers employed by these same 200 factor
les increased from sO.4Ss men in 1894
UP to l74s45 last year-almost doubled.
But the contrast is even more strik-
ing when applied to the amount OF
wages paid. and the following table
shows the returns received from the 200

III conclusion the siatisttcian Of the
commission repeats ans previous recon-
u1endations TO the effect thal reports
should be secured from express COM
panies engaged in interstate traffic.
that reports should be secured frola
corporations and companies owning
rolling stock which is used in inter-
state traffic; and also special reports
from corporations and companies own
ing depot property. stock yards, eieva-
tors. and the like; and tha, reports
should be secured from carriers by
water, SO far as their business is in
terstate traffic.
The recommendations are deserving
Of support. Since the commission has
been established congress should grant
it all powers required to make it use
ful in as many ways as possible. There
is certainly no reason why the in
terstate commerce handled by express
companies should not be supervised by
the commission as well as that handled
by railways.

manufacturers:

The amount Of wages paid by these
same 200 manufacturers increased
steadily from 1890 to 1892, then there
was a drop in 1898 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.
Between 1894 and 1899. the 200 manu-
facturers had increased their pay rolls
by upwards Of sS.OOO.OOO. In fact, the
amount of wages doubled what they
paid out in 1894. Apply this to the
whole country and try to realize what
benefit Opening the mills" has been
to American wage-earners and to those
who feed and clothe them.
