MINERS AND POLITICS

If the statements made by President
Mitchell are technically true, to the
effect that the average wage of the
anthracite miner in the striking dis
tricts is less than $500 per year, the
men should win in their struggle. No
one should be expected to put in years
learning a trade and then perform
such laborious and dangerous work for
such small wages. But when the dem
ocrats undertake to carry such mat
tiers into politics they are treading on
dangerous grounds. In the first place
coal is on the free list and is admitted
to this country without duty. To
chop off the tariff in order to hit the
trusts could not affect the coal situa-
ton, as there is no tariff on it. Then
again the radical changes they propose
in their platform would revolutionize
the business of the country and no
doubt carry us back to the days of '93
ands of men were out OF employment
Surprising such conditions existed to-
day, and the strike was in progress as
it is now. What would be the cOnse-
quences? Could the miners and other
labor organizations of Mahaska coun.
ty contribute between $4,000 and $10,.
900 to help their brethren in the east
carry on their fight? Not so. If they
had no work themselves they would
not bein a position to lend aid to their
neighbors. This is point that should
not be overlooked by the laboring PEG.
pie. They should vote for men and
policies which stand for sound bust
ness judgment and prosperity, rather
than those who want a change in order
to give them an Office. Strikes are
never won and wages are never
advanced in dull times. Pros
perity is the keynote of the campaign
and the joy of the laborer should be
to vote the Republican ticket.

success The practical use of this
thought seems to work as well in re-
ligious circles as in business enter
prises. Since Father Waldron's advent
to Oskaloosa several months ago, the
congregations at st. Mary's church
have more than doubled. This is due
to the reverend gentleman's unceas-
ing labors among the members of his
flock, and the fact that the Pella and
Knoxville appointments have been
taken from the Oskaloosa charge and
transferred to What Cheer. Regular
services are held here every Sunday
now in place of twice a month as
formerly. Father Waldron is popular
both inside and without the church,
and is carrying forth to glorious
success the work that was so long and
so faithfully performed by his prede-
cessor, the lamented Father O'Carroll.

We have often heard about the cure
being worse than the disease, but we
never fully understood the application
until we ran across this in the columns
of a society paper: For tired nerves
try an aromatic bath. This is the re-
cipe: Take a pound of thyme, sweet
marjoram, hyssop, mint, sage, rose
mary, potage, crushed rice, crushed
barley, boil in two quarts of water, adj
ding a handful of salt. Strain and
add the liquid to the bath. When the
Parisienne takes an aromatic bath the
tub is lined with linen sheet gored so
as to fit the tub. The bath bag, con.
tanning many aromatic ingredients,
herbs, spices and perfumes, is thrown
in, and the tub being filled almost to
the edge, the bather gets in and stays
there until she is perfumed through
and through"

New Sharon Star: We stepped
into hardware store few days ago
to buy a shovel for use in the office,
and got it for five cents. We asked
how it could be sold SO cheap, and
were informed the "robber tariff did
it. At another store we got paper
of pins for one cent, and dozen lead
pencils for dime, and again we were
informed that the "robber tariff" was
the responsible monstrous octopus.
Under democrat free trade shovels
cost rs cents, pencils and paper Of
pins a nickel each, and most of them
were "ms1e in England" It's awful,
isn't, it? In casting your ballot you
demonstrate which you prefer, cheap

by foreigners and so encouraged by

Dies MONIES REGISTER and Leader:
Mother Jones is telling them in the
Sixth that she would like to take the
women and have them vote. Before
congress was through working we
would own the mines, the railroads,
the telephone, the telegraph, and you
would work only four hours a day and
for that you should receive $40. Such
talk as that may create discomfort,
but it contributes nothing to the solu-
ton of any problem that confronts
the American people at large or the
American laboring man.

PEAcE.


The flash Of the reaper from sunlight,
AS the golden grain goes down,
And the song of the reapers at night,
As the world goes round and round.
The song of the lark in the morning,
The scent of the new-mown hay,
The COO of the blue dove of mourning
At eve of a summer day.
The low of kline at nightfall;
Children at play on the lawn;
The sweet notes of the whippoorwilTs
call,
All through the night to the dawn.
The white church with its graceful
steeple;
The prayers that will never cease
From the hearts of a grateful people
These are tokens of Peace.

GoMPERS ON TARIFF,

The effect of the Dingley tariff law
on labor conditions in this country is
very clearly shown by the several re-
Federation of Labor. In 1893 Mr..
Gompers said in his official report:
"Since August of this year we
have been in the greatest indus
trial depression this country has
ever experienced. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that more than
three million of our fellow toilers
throughout the country are with
out employment and have been so
since the time named.
Never in the history of the world
has so large number of people
vainly sought for an opportunity
to earn livelihood and contri-
butte to the support of their fell
lows. In a society where such
abnormal conditions prevail there
must of necessity be something
wrong at the basel foundation"
The something wrong in 1893 was
the election of Grover Cleveland on a
platform declaring for a tariff for
revenue only, and the election of a
democratic congress which proceeded
to carry out this platform declaration
by legislation which was known as the
Wilson-Gorman tariff law. This con-
dition which Mr.. Gompers described
in 1898 continued until 1897 and in
that year. Mr.. Gompers in his official
report said:
That terrible period for the
wage-earners of this country
which began in 1893 and which
has left behind it such a record of
horror, hunger, and misery prac-
tically ended with the dawn of
1897. Wages have been steadily
forced down from 1898 till toward
the end of 1895 and it was vari-
ously estimated that between
100000 and 100000 wage earn
ers were employed. 1t is agreed
by all that the wage-earners are
the principal consumers of Ameri-
can products, and it necessarily
follows that a reduction In wages
involves a diminution in the pow
er of consumption and consequent
ly proportlonate decrease in pro-
duction and naturally also in the
force of labor required for the
production. A reduction of wages,
therefore, results in an increase in
the army of the unemployed and
any circumstance or combination
of circumstances that will check
reductions in wages and hence
diminution of consumption by the
masses is a humane act based on
the soundest laws of economics
and of progress"
This was a description of the condi
tons produced by democratic tariff
tinkering in 1898 and 1894. 1t is moi
republican or partisan description
1t Is by the man who stands at the
head Of the federation of labor and he
is democrat. In 1899 Mr.. Gompers
gave further testimony of this labor
situation. In his official report that
year he said:
''The revival of industry which
we have witnessed within the past
year is one for general congratula-
tion and it should be our purpose
to endeavor to prolong this era of
more general employment and in
dustrial activity. In this effort

-Keokuk Gate City:

-keokuk Gate City: Should Mr..
Reese be elected to congress he would
find that he must cooperate with the
democratic party, and he will find that
he has embarrassed every labor union
in the country by the assumption that
his election would amalgamate the
unions with the democratic party.
Every state in the union has some Ia
Dor laws, but the democratic states of
the South have given less recognition
to labor than any others.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1902-10-09

no power is so potent as organic
ed labor if we but follow a right
and practical course"
Mr.. Gompers has pointed out to or,
ganized labor the effects of democratic
tariff tinkering and also the effects OF
wise, protective legislation for the pro,
lection of American labor against the
pauper labor of European countries
The arguments which Mr.. Gompers
presented in 1898 and 1897 are as eff.
fective today as they were then. ,.

Manual Training in Iowa City Schools.
In the Iowa City schools manual
training is taught to all boys from
the fifth to the eighth grade; in the
grades the work is compulsory for all
boys In the high school the work is
given to both boys and girls and this
work is optional. Out of a school OF
1900 we had 425 pupils taking manual
training. The pupils all go to one
building for the work. The grade pu-
pills are given one period per week
and the high school pupils two per-
iods per week. The periods are one
and one-half hours in length. We
have benches and tools to accommo-
date twenty in a class. The cost of
our equipment including benches, tools
and drawing tables Is approximately
$780, 1t is our plan to require each
pupil to make a complete drawing of
each article constructed and from this
drawing make the finished article. We
have found the combination of me,
chanical drawing and manual training
to be very helpful.
state the simple truth when say
that our pupils are enthusiastic over
manual training and 1t is not the en-
thusiasm born Of novelty, for the work

thusiasm born from the child's love
of activity and from the feeling thai
