There seems less and less doubt as
to how the elections win go. The Will
cox boat is leaky and rotten, and it has
made it's last voyage. Its captain has
got it into shoals and quicksands it will
uffer inevitable shipwreck. Those
who are deluded enough to remain in
the Wilcox boat will suffer shipwreck
along with him. The average voter
does not want to be on the losing side,
and to vote for Wilcox and his gang is
to lose the vote cast.
The Republican campaign has been
well planned and has been carried out
as we'll as it has been planned. 1t has
been quietly but most convincingly con-
Quoted. The Home Rulers have them
selves supplied the arguments which
have been used against them, and the
logic of fact has strengthened the rhe-
toric Of argument. The Home Ruler
has nothing but a few stale old cries,
and his hearers have discovered that it
is all cry and no wool. The Home Rule
legislature of two years ago Disguised
the rising young Hawaiian He saw
now utterly incapable the men who
represented Home Rule were. That
there were bright men in their ranks
is true, but they had no chance against
those who were duh and consequently
self opinionated, for the duller man is,
the more self opinionated he is.
When Wilcox returned here, he found
a divided party, and his attempts to
dictate utterly failed. His legislature
which had promised so much, had been
an utter failure, and he himself had re-
turned an utter failure. The million
or more of federal appropriation which
he had talked so big about when he
went to Washington for the second time
had not materialized at all. He did
not bring a cent of appropriation with
him. An empty legislature and an
empty handed delegate was not the
material to make a campaign of dicta-
ton with. And it is no wonder that
the campaign of the Home Rulers has
been as disappointing to their leaders,

countries industrial processes have
been greatly cheapened during that
period, but in America the cheapening
appears to have been carried farther
than anywhere else. According to fig
ures recently made public by Will
liam Garrett, rail roller in an up-t0-
date rail mill, is paid less than one
cent per ton for rolling, against 10
cents at a not very remote date. With
in that time, again, a wire rod roller
has seen his earnings per ton reduced
from $2.l2 to II cents per ton, and Yet
he earns larger wages at the lower fig
ure, while five cents are paid today
for heating billets to make wire rods,
against so cents during the period re-
ferred to. IF rod rollers says Mr..
Garrett, were to receive the same
wages per ton that they did twenty
years ago, they would earn $424,5O per
day
The average output per worker has
in all cases increased enormously. AL
the nine Edgar Thomson blast fur
naces, / was told that 1900 men are
employed for an output of 24,500 tons
per week, including all the hands en-
plOyed in handling and stocking raw
materials, transport, etc. This gives
an average of 1913 tons of pig per man
per week, or 1855 tons per man per an
mum. The minimum wage paid at the
blast furnaces is $1.S0 per : day OF y
hours. | did not get the average wage
paid at these works, but a. c.
Dinkey, the manager of the Home
stead Works, recently testified that
the average earnings of the workmen
there, excluding officials, is 1913 per
day, while the earnings of rollers and
heaters rise to $15 per day. Wages, in
short, are generally so good, and the
men have their futures so much in
their own hands, that they have every
encouragement to do the best they can
both for their employers and for
themselves"
