INC Fun Dinner I1aiI.

One of our Republican contem-
porariee prints picture of a work
Iingman's dinner pail on every page
of every issue. There is an in
soription which says that the pail
is full, and as we are not allowed to
look inside we have to takethe edi-
tors word for it.
"The Full Dinner Pail" is the
chief Republican argument this
year. 1t is on the ground that a
workman is able to fill a tin bucket
with edible matter that the Ameri-
can people are asked to consent to
the Transformation of this republic
into an empire.
Well, let us assume for the mo-
mont that the "F'ull Dinner Pail"
is reality, and not myth. Let
us assume that the workingman
who puts in eight OF ten hours of
exhaustive labor day is really
able under Republican prosperity"
to put two or three sandwiches, u
wedge of pie and pint of coffee in
to tin bucket
Under these conditions, the con-
fonts of the Gull Dinner Pail"
may be worth 10 cents. Mr. John
ID. Rockefeller has an income of
about $4O,OOO,OOO year. That is
over S13O, 600 per working day. Mr..
Rockfeller's daily income would
fill the dinner pals of 100000 work
mon. In other words, Republican
prosperity puts the dinners of $780,
600 workers into one mans modest
little pail.
This is the Republican idea of
good times. Nine hundred thous-
and men happy and grateful be-
cause they can put Is cents worth
of dinner apiece into their tin
buckets, and one man who absorbs
as mnch from their earnings as the
cost of the whole 100000 dinners
put together.
There are scores of monopolies
like Mr.. Rockefeller, differing only
in degree, and the unearned in
comes of 100 of them could proba,
bly, pay for tho dinners of all the
workingmen in the United States
If the policy of favoring such con-
centrations of wealth we're altered,
the workers might have not only
full pinner pals, but possibly some
of the little luxuries that Republi-
can policy considers entirely out oil
their sphere.-New York Journal
The Vermont Election.
The result of the Vermont State
Election is eminently satisfactory
to the Democracy. The party has
made gains in the State, while the
Republicans have lost heavily
-Four years ago the Republicans
lead was in excess of 10000. This
year it will probably be less than
10000 when all the returns are in
loss of over 10000. The Demo.
Gratis have carried towns they never
carried before, and will have about
fifty mombers of the lower branch
of the Legislature, as against nine
teen four years ago. The same
percentage of Democratic gain and
Republican loss in the Union would
elect Mr.. Bryan by an overwhelm.
ing majority and make both Houses
of Congress Democratic. It's 1
significant pointer of what is tc
come, and yet the Intelligencer had
the supreme gall to put a coon over
the news it published yesterday
morning. That coon will be stood
on his head before the first frostt
of winter make their appearance
