From Last Evenings Truth.
In giving credit to whom credit is due for the
satisfactory settlement Of the strike Our distin.
guished townsman, Congressman Connell, is en-
titled to honorable and special mention
1t is well known that the Truth has been
anxious for the victory Of the men from the
start, and willing to welcome every influence
that could contribute TO this most desirable re-
suit For this reason we deem it proper at this
time to recognize the very important part played
by Mr.. Connell in expediting the work Of yes
tcrdays conference Of coal operators at Phiatcl-
phia, and fastening the result which up to that
time hung in the balance and threatened further
delay.
Congressman Connells interview with President
Mckinley this week and his subsequent work
Mt the Philadelphia convention clearly indicate
that lie was an important factor in shaping the
gratifying decision which sent thrill OF Joy
throughout the anthracite region
The Truth feictatcs Mr.. Conncll upon his
liberal, broad.mindcd course in recognizing the
rights Of the mine workers, and going forth at
great personal inconvenience, and against the
advice of his physician, at a time when his
health was in jeopardy, to make the victory Of
the miners substantial and practical.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-19


~ Mr.. Bryan is asking the
question. Some work.
ingmen are making the
same inquiry. The investigation
made by Colonel Carroll d. Wright,
United States commissioner OF labor,
lures for ten years past shows who
got the prosperity. Labor got it.
Wages are for 1900 at the highest
point OF the century. Interest on as
sured Investments at the lowest point.
Absolute security, a United States
bond, has sunk to 2 per cent. interest
the lowest of the century. Average
manufacturing wages in 1860 are at
the highest point, or l]343, if the next
highest, in 1891, are put at 100. Labor,
rather than capital, has reaped the
harvest OF Mckinley prosperity.
The total yearly wages of manufac-
turing operatives in 1890 We're $2,17l,-
OOo, 900 and 1891 was the same general
level. Taking Colonel Wright's rela-
tive rates. which were 100 in 1891,
97.SS in 1895 and 1O3.43 in 19O0 and this
aggregate OF wages had dropped in
1895 to 2125,00OOOO, having lost S46.-
OOc, 900. the price paid for free trade
and the threat of silver basis for the
currency. BY 1900 the rate had risen
to 1OS.43. Measured on the aggregate
annual pay of 1896, this meant a
growth of $4,000. 900. From the low
est point in 1S95 this was an increase
in the annual wage distribution to the
manufa curing operatives of the coun-
try In 1900. as compared with 1895, of
S12O, 100000.
Taking the whole manufacturing
plant and product of the country and
reckoning on the basis of its size in
1880, and the advance as shown by
Colonel Wrights figures for the same
number of men and on the same pro-
duet would be for a year Sl20, 900, 900
added to yearly wages by Mckinley
Prosperity from 1895 to 1900. But the
number OF men and the product was
not the same. 1t had grown one
fourth to one-half. The measure Of
growth and the measure of yearly
wages in all manufactures is the raw
material used.
In 1895 this country made 9,4i6,S0S
tons of pig. In 1899 it made 1S,62O.7os
tons and in 1900 will make about
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-19

i4,oCo,0OO. Here is growth of one
half. Where in 1896 2,S7i,ooO cotton
bales fed our mills in 1899 1t took 81
6S2,00O bales, or over a quarter more.
Our imports of raw sill; rose from -
9Id,S1o pounds in 1925 to 11,26S,3l0
pounds in the fiscal year 1900, or an
advance of almost one-half. Our i'm
port OF India rubber rose In the spme
way from 39,74l.60T pounds in 1895 to
40,3,7,13S pounds in 1900 or one-iifth
more. With the exception of wool,
where the consumption Of raw ma
terial has fallen. this is true of all our
factories and of all trades. The raw
material consumed has risen from
one-half to one-fourth and the labor
required and the wages paid have also
risen in gross amount from one-half
to one fourth.
Two advances have come. The rate
of wages has risen. The total amount
of wages has advanced because the
number of those employed has in-
creased. Where in 1895 $2,125.OOO,OOO
was paid in yearly wages in manu-
features the advance in the rate OF
1900 meant an increase Of $12O,OOO,OOO.
This was not all. The gross overturn
of raw material had grown one-fourth
to one-half. and this meant an in
crease in the aggregate annual wage,
due to new work, of from $500, 1000. 900
to $1,000, 100000. Some trades got more
cf this increase and some less. The
wcolen trade got least of all. The
iron and steel trade got most of all.
On the rise in rate over 1895 labor got
s12O 900, 900. On the increase IN output
labor got in increased annual wages
from $500, 900, 900 to sl,oOo,O0o,0Oo. This
is where Mckinley prosperity has
gone.
