Some months ago, In response TO q
particularly vicious attack upon him
| in his relations to labor, Senator
Hanna made the statement that il
any man of character who had evel
been in his employ would say that he
had not kept faith with him, he would
at once resign from the senate. This
was practical answer and could not
have been made by man not absolute
ly sure of his ground. No person ever
took Up the challenge, even to test
Hanna's good faith, but on the con-
trary many of his employees have in
many ways demonstrated their high
regard for him. It is fact that in
all his business career, in which he
has employed thousands of workmen,
Marx Hanna has never had trouble
with them on any labor question. He
never had a labor strike. The
tremendous efforts that have been put
forth by partisan papers to break Sem
atOr Hanna s influence have served to
emphasize his honorable and patriotic
qualities and to demonstrate his
strength with the people. If he is at
times arbitrary and dogmatic in his
oxrp M ri y bo ic mn oorruptiopicf and
he makes his fights in the open.
Hanna won the house and Foraker
prevailed in the senate, so the big
Ohio fight seems to have terminated
in a draw. 1t is assumed, however,
that Hanna IS victory was the greater
and that he has practical control OF
the legislature, but it is not supposed
that he will use his power to defeat
Foraker for the United States senate.

HANNA AND LABOR
An Incident Illustrating Their Relations.

Senator Hanna, who has just been
elected chairman of the civic fedora
ton Cancellation committee, is one Of
the largest employers of labor in Cleve-
land and never had any trouble with
his men in his various enterprises, says
the New York Tribune. He came
near having a strike once. but trip
to Europe saved him. During the big
street railway strike in that city in
the summer of 1897 Hanna was rest
less. The strike was on the other
system, the Big Consolidated and he
feared the men on the Little Con-
solidated, of which he is president,
would 60 out through sympathy He
had previously made up his mind to go
to Europe that summer, and calling
his superintendent, Mulhern, he said:
George, want to 90 to Europe
the worst way, but if you think there
is going to be trouble on the railroad
IL stay at home
Mulhern went among the men and
acquainted them with Hanna's fears.
The menlappointed committee and
called on Hanna.
SENATOR" the spokesman said,
''we understand you are afraid to go
to Europe because you think we may
GO on strike. We pledge you our
word and honor that there will be no
strike on the Little Consolidated. -
"Boys, I'll take your word for it, :"
the senator said. s'Good bye. III
take the next steamer for Europe and
feel easy that you will make no trou-
ble."
In telling this story Superintendent
Mulhern said:
81 feel convinced that if Senator
Hanna had not gone to Europe he
would not have received that promise
from the committee and the strike
would have extended to our lines. All
kinds of pressure was brought to bear
to cause our men to weaken, but they
merely said they had given their word
to the cid man and that they meant
to keep it. Hanna felt so confident
that the men would keep their prom

OUR CEMENT WEALTH
What May Be Accomplished in This
County.

were made in this country out of
nearly fifty millions used. The pur-
poses to which cement can be applied

yet in its infancy. The mari beds of
northern Indiana, the largest Of which
is in this county, yield a substance
from which can be made cement of
better quality than any other field
can produce. The product of the fac
tory at Syracuse. KoSciusko county,
shows a tensile strength 200 pounds
greater than any other at % days and
at the end of year it is equal to that

At Syracuse about 1000 barrels a
day are turned out, more than 100
men are employed, more than s100.-

investment represents about $3.50, 600.

day there will be located at Maxim

dollars and the greatest mine of wealth

productive. The time is ripe for it
now and all the conditions are favor

1t is simply waiting for the man who
is ready to seize the opportunity.

chase and in addition there was paid

more; but it cost five hundred million
dollars to establish constitutional

for his little American critics. There

HAPPY IS THE LAND.

One of the most interesting demon
strations of the progress of prosperity
is that shown IN the statistics of Chi
cago's wholesale trade for several
years past. The value of such Stats
tics lies, of course, in the fact that
the wholesale business Of Chicago is
almost an exact indication of the con-
sumption OF all ordinary goods in the
vast middle west and it varies in
quantity and character exactly accord
ing TO the ability of the people to buy.
By 1896 and 1897 the volume OF
Chicago's sales at wholesale had fallen
to very low ebb and it was confined
largely to the necessarieS of life, such
as fool and clothing. In 1898 dis
tinct growth appeared, the total
wholesale business of the city amount
ing to 1918, 900, 600 in that year and
the greatest gains being made in the
staple lines, which showed that the
people very naturally spent their in
creased earnings and profits in getting
back to their ordinary style of living.
The next year, 1899, was regarded as
phenomenal, for the wholesale trade
ran up over a hundred million dollars,
reaching s72S, 075, 200, and the great
gains were made in such lines as fur
niture, carpets, clothing and the like,
proof that folks had all they wanted
to eat and were able to provide for
their material welfare in their homes
and to wear more and better clothes.
/ Another big year came with ttSSGo.
The amount was $3.50, POS, 900. The
gain was not so great as before, but it
is explained by the unusual liquida-
tion of debts that year and the won
derful business in real estate. Hav-
ing become able to live we'll the peo-
pie Of the middle west bought or en-
larged their homes and farms and re-
duced their mortgages. Then came
1901, the greatest year in all the
ramifications of prosperity this coun-
try has ever known. All banking, in
Surance and real estate records were
broken in 1901 and so were all the re-
cords of wholesale business and trans
portation. Chicago's wholesale mer-
chants sold goods that year TO the
amount of 1892, 800, 900, a gain of l34
per cent over 1900, and the greatest
gains were made in the line of luxur-
les. Costly furniture, fine clothing,
the better grades of hats and shoes,
elegant furs. jewelry and such articles,
were purchased as never before. Liq-
uors and cigars ran away up in the list
of increases. Dried fruits made
gain and all and ordinary foods and
clothing showed small increases.
The people first satisfied their nee
essary wants, then bought reasonable
comforts, and now they are able to
lavish money on luxuries. The fur
trade, for example, was 335 per cent
greater in 1901 than in 1900, while
groceries increased only 10 per cent.
It is perfectly fair to recall the dis
NAL prophecies of Bryan in this con-
nection, for these are the very things
that he said repeatedly would be inn
possible should the republicans sue
coed at the polls. Not only were
they possible but they have actually
happened; and more than that, the
period is one of unprecedented debt
paying, not only by individuals but br
municipalities, states and the nation.
