Another Strike.
FOR SALE EVERYWHERE.

We have information to the eff
feet that about one. tt ird of work
men at the Gebert Shingle Mill
went out OH a strike on last Mon
day morning. As they filled i'm
portant positions it so crippled the
operations of the mill that it was
found best to shut down for the
present.
The strikers demanded an ln-
crease of 25ct per day all round
for the men, and shorter hours.
The wages of the men ranged
from 800 to 81 80 per day. Mr..
I'll. G. Brooks, the manager of the
mill, offered as a compromise to
increase all wages 10 per cent.
This was not accepted.
We don't know how some of the
laboring people figure. 1t strikes
us that sI10 per day; or So. 60
per week would have been far
better than being idle and earn
ing nothing even if it was for
only one week. The wages they
would have earned must be count
ed as lost for the whole time they
are out. Their living expenses
and deprlvations must represent
as much more to each individual
effected. The man who got q
dollar day may then be counted
on losing S12 a week, to say no
thing of the resultant effect to his
credit by being enable to pay his
obligations promptly.
Now, SUPP ose the mill finally
agrees to the demanded increase
at the end of the first week, it vii
require As working days, at 25c
extra per day, to put the laborel
at the same point he would have
been had there been no strike
Ii the strike continues month
the lost to the laborer cannot b.
regained in q year.
I, For these reasons it appears t,
us that it would have profited til,
ElabOrer far more to have accepted
the proffered 10 per cent raise il
wages and worked on till bette

exclusive of New Orleans the fig

Gigantic Consolidation.

Last Thursday very import
ant meeting composed OF some of
the principal oil magnates and
prospectors of Southwest Louisi-
ana was held at Lafayette for the
purpose of considering the pro
position to consolidate the inter
ests of all concerned in the devel
opment of the Lafayette and Anse
Labutte oil fields. Owing to the
absence of two very prominent
gentlemen, now in New York, the
project, after some discussion, was
postponed until some future day.
The proposition embraces vast in
terests, and the new company will
be capitalized at IS, 100000, back
ed by some of tie wealtliest and
most influential corporations in
the field. Hen Robt. Martin,
John r. Todd, +. Borah and P.
H. Mentz, representing the Mar
tin Haywood Company, are prom
inent in the new movement and 1t
is probable the new concern will
be styled the Martin Development
Company. Judging from all APP
pearances a gigantic scheme is
developing to control the entire
mineral resources of Southwest
Louisiana, and the Southern Paci
fic people seem to be watching,
very closely every phase Of the
manipnlations, with apparent de
termination to secure their main

A Wonderful Pill.

Freedom, Mo-, Nov. 3d.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
In this neighborhood. 1t is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and it has cured
Rheumatism right and left. On every
hand may be heard stories of the re-
markable recoveries and from what
has been stated already there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson of this place. who
says:
Il can't say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me so
much. 1 suffered very severely with
rheumatism. Five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine 1 have ever
used"
Usage county abounds in just such
cases and If the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left

nous profits that are made by the
trusts and then in the next breath he
says he is not alarmed about the
trusts, that they will work out their
own salvation or destruction The
Iowa platform calls for modification of
the tariff to hit the trusts and now the
senator says there are no trusts, or at
least comes near saying that The ex-
PLANTATION is that Do1liver does not be-
lieve in modifying the tariff, but
thinks the people want it done-and
his belief in regard to trusts is one
common to a good many people. The
senator, however. in answering Speak
er Henderson, admitted that he did not
believe it possible for q Republican
congress, meeting in December next.
to reorganize and revise the tarin. We
agree with both the senator and speak
er in admitting that there are incon-
sistencies all along the line, also
much useless debate. and that it is
time to get together. However, there
are a good many Republicans who will
be unable to get together SO long as
the silly nonsense is going around to

tual author of the Cedar Rapids plat
form, etc. Such statements are dis
gushing to the intelligence of men,

The Safe Plan.

Those who are clamoring for revi-
sion will not in any event be pacified
by the promise of one eighteen months
hence The real truth is that this
clamor had its origin among free
trade Democrats They worked up
the same sort of q movement in 1883
aud when tie Republicans made a re-
duction. in harmony. as they believed.
with the principles of protection, these
same free trade Democrats used the
fact that this reduction hurt certain
Industries to array those industries
against the Republican party and
thereby defeat it The entirely safe
plan Is to ignore free trade clamor,
stand by prosperity and seek a safe
way, when the conditions are ripe, to
make such tariff changes as are actual
ly needed There is certainly nothing
