Hope and the Workman.


Hope may be the child of ambition
or ambition the child of hope, but the
two keep side by side in the race for
success. If one dies the other has no
strenth to live. The professional
man without ambition retrogrades.
The workman without hope becomes
q machine. There are some men VINO
were born. without hope; there are
some who lost it when they were cnh-
dren, at the time when they lost their
pittance of childish freedom and went
into the shops and factories. Children
in America today are like those MIS-.
Browning heard in England when she
asked:
Do you hear the children weeping. w.
my brothers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years!
They are leaning their young heads
against their mothers,
But that cannot stop their tears.
The young lambs are bleating IN the
meadows,
The young birds are chirping in the
nest,
The young fawns are playing with the
shadows,
The young flowers are blowing
toward the west.
But the young, young Children v my
brothers,
They are weeping bitterly;
They are weeping in the playtime OF
of the others,
In the country of the free.
And when they have stopped weep
ing, those young children and the old
err ones, they have lost hope-usually
for a lifetime. For how can children
and men. working as machines, nope!
Is it hope when they expect wages
enough to pay for shelter, food and
clothes? The slave expected that much,
and the slave knew he should nave
work the year round. Is it hope-to
"hope for work." For some the wheel
of destiny is the everlasting circle
wages to get food, food to get strength,
strength to get wages. Can men,
working as machines, dare to hope to
escape that wheel of destiny unless
they question its justice and study its
mechanism until they have learned
how to stop this treadmill? First, the
problems of industry-then their So
lution-and then, once more. Hope

REPORT ON TRADE.

Bradstreet's report on trade for last
week says:
Evidence multiplies that the tide OF
trade has turned and that it is now
setting strongly in the direction OF
an enlarged business at steady or high
er prices. Crop improvement, partic-
ularly in the central west and the Mis-
sippi valley, have been the handspring
of the more cheerful tone of advices
and enlarged fall trade operations.
Even from the so-called drouth-strick-
en- corn belt come advices of a quite
satisfactory business, in some instanc-
es reports being Of a larger jobbing
trade than in the corresponding period
year ago. At the great eastern CEN
ters distribution is going forward in as
good, If not better volume, than a year
ago. Prices, except for some irregu-
larity in the cereals, have been gener-
ally quite steady. Wheat was weak
early on increased supplies afoat, en-
larged receipts at the northwest and
LnO mai ldNOlluS d uC-
cline, but strengthened later on con-
tinued poor crop reports from abroad,
fairly large clearances, although not
equal to the previous week and gener-
al confidence in present or better prices
being maintained. Corn has sympa-
thized largely with wheat, though
weakening on it's own account on bet
ter crop advices from the states east
of the Mississippi, where timely rains
have fallen. Net changes for the week
are slight. Some hog products, par
ticularly lard, have sympathized with
the strength of corn.
Iron and steel show little change,
accessions to the strikers in the case
of the leading tube works of the coun-
try having been enhanced by the re-
opening of stuck" mills in the Pitts
burg district. Tin plates and sheets
are scarce and hard to get, ond an or
der for 100000 boxes at 81 per box was
refused at Pittsburg. Chicago iron
and steel jobbers are reported besieged
by buyers.
Building material is quite active, al
though the steel strike interferes with
progress at some centers. Lumber
stocks are very generally small and
full prices are obtained for desirable
lots.

Havana, Aug. pa meeting of "a no.
table persons was held to consider the let
ter drafted by Juan Gualberta Gomez, at
the request of the committee appointed to
address a communication to Thomas Is
trada Palma, asking for a more specific
statement from him regarding the program
he would follow if elected president of the
Cuban republic. The letter says
1--WE think the following would be an
appropriate bfdgraeA in the country's
present condition"
Then followed four clauses dealing with
the question of the commercial treaty
between the United States and Cuba,
(which should tend toward free trade, but
at present Cuba needs some income from
customs"
The second clause recommends the build
ing up of a system of local taxation and
economics in the government.
The third recommends the payment of
the army after thorough examination of
all claims. The fourth clause, in referr-
ing to the Platt amendment, says:
I'm making treaty relations with the
United States, which are to be respected,
the government should take advantage of
any opportunity to have the United States
reverse the clauses curtailing Cuban indie
pendance and sovereignty"
All of the letter was accepted except the
last part, which was rejected by vote of
four to nine, though General Maxine
Gomez voted for it. 1t was decided to send
the letter to Senior Palma, with an account
of the doings of the meeting and to await
a reply from him. The letter claims to en-
body the claims of the political parties.

been prominent in the Mormon church,
until recently being head of the Mormon
relief committee.
