WHAT RAILROAD MEN GET.
I asked some questions as TO wages.
They are lower than in the United States
Engineers earn about $50 a month and IN
addition have a commission on the amount
Of coal they can save over certain fixed
quantity, by which a man can raise his
wages TO $50 a month Stokers get $2o a
month, foremen in the shops SIS a month
and ordinary workmen about $50 month.
Station agents have proportionately low
wages and the scale on the whole is far
under that of our country. More tnan one
) tenth OF all the men IN the service get less
] than 81 u month; d little more than one
| third receive from SIT to SO. and more than
half get less than 50 per month. The men
work from seven to twelve hours per day
and on the average about twenty-elght
and half days per month. The women
| at the crossings usually get from ten to
twenty cents per day. They live close to
the road and nave to be on duty only at
/ the times of the trains.

THE JOPLIN MARKET.
Joplin, Mo, Oct. l2. lar
gest sale OF zinc and lead ores ever
recorded in the Missouri Kansas
mineral belt, occurred the past
week. While the value has been
exceeded slightly during the 1899
season, the tonnage was never
squaled, and nearly 1000 tons OF
zinc ore, and 70O tons Of lead ore
we're purchased, The purchasing
agents are having a hard time 10
secure cars, upon which TO load
the product OF the district. The
most favorable prices for both
ores prevailed. While no advan.
COS for top zinc ore we're reported
upon straight bids, yet several lots
were sold upon assay basis which,
when ascertained, will bring the
price of top grade ore up to near
The $40 mark, and many low grade
lots were advanced from 80 cents
10 81 per ton.
The strength Of the market in.
dicatss a general advance upon all
grades OF zinc ore, with the lead
ore market remaining unchanged,
put very strong.
II is pointed out that the Colo.
ado and Wisconsin production OF

probably strengthen the zinc ore

aud the rich would never die"

Every time he hears some one
say that we have no kings in this

the direction Of j. Pierpont Nor

Among other humorous things
we note in number of Republi.

Bill Devery actually used money
to achieve his ends, together with
the utter horror of those same Re-
publican organs that any man
should do such thing.

The name of lola may or may

written by Emile lola.

TOBACCO GROWERS
Urged to Organize for Protection
by Calhoun Star.

1t will soon be time for the rep
resentatives of the tobacco trusts
to be circulating about our coun-
try, seeing how low they can buy
tobacco from the farmer, says the
Calhoun Star. 1t is a great pity
that the tobacco growers of the
dark district don't organize for
self.protection. The tobacco rails
or is today worse imposed upon
than any other class of farmers.
Farmers who raise any other class
of farm products get better pay
for their labor than the one who
tolls in the tobacco field. 1t is an
outrage the way the tobacco rails
ers are being swindled out OF
their hard earned money by these
trusts.
Lugs should sell at the price the
leaf is bringing, and the leaf
should bring from ten to fifteen
cents. All other businesses are
organized and their owners are
making money, but the man who
raises tobacco is simply at the
mercy of the money sharks. One
lives in fine houses enjoying all
the wealth and luxury that money
can gi re, while the other gets just
enough for his labor to keep the
wolf from the door.

s "Goo,,r Trust

The Iron Age gives the following IN
teresting item: Prosperity Lodge of
the Amalgamated Association, COM
posed of employees of the la Belle
works of the American Tin Plate Com
pany Cf Wheeling, w. Va. have voted
in favor of accepting reduction of
wages when working on tin plate for
export. \ former vote of this lodge
was against this proposition
The facts In the case are these: The
steel trust has an order from the
Standard Oil trust for 1.5O0,000 boxes
of tin plate TO be manufactured into
tins to export their oil in. Usually the
Standard Oil trust has bought the tin
plate they use in England. paid the
duty and then obtained Il rebate of the
duty paid when they export it again.
The price for the English tin plate Is
Sl.30 per box less than the price
charged by the steel trust. but the or
der has been given TO the latter If 1t
will meet the English price. Hence
the demand on the workmen TO accept
% per cent reduction in wages.
Both the trusts make the same profit
as formerly. but the workmen do not
participate in the prosperity of the
trusts; they not only have 10 accept %
per cent less wages. but it costs them
40 per cent more to live. The work
man who received 81 per day will get
SL50. and if he formerly spent all his
wages to live. he will now have TO cut
his expenses down by reducing the
quantity of food and clothes 10 him
self, his wife and little ones. Great is
prosperity and the tin plate trust.
