The chief OF the Indiana bureau Of
statistics declares that "a per cent Of
the laboring people of the state have
neither had their wages increased or
reduced during the past year. This
statement is based upon figures which
doubtless show that the men are work.
Ing for the same wage they did last
year. and from this the statistician
draws the conclusion that wages have
aeither been increased or decreased.
But IL Mr. Johnson would take the
trouble to inquire into the cost OF liv-
ing he might reach a very different
conclusion. The fact would remain
that "a per cent Of the laboring men
have not had their wages increased
but there would be a very different
showing in respect to decrease. The
laborer knows this to be true and has
q practical demonstration OF the fact
every time he spends a dollar OF his
earnings; for he finds 1t only buys
about so per cent as much as 1t did
year ago. Let him try IL on beef
for instance. And he needn't be par.
ticular about what part Of the beef
he buys. for II holds good from por.
terhouse to liver

When the supply of anthracite coal
became so low that 1t was evident
that factories would have to close and
that domestic consumers would have
to burn soft coal or suffer- President
Roosevelt saw in the situation a suffi-
cient reason for calling the operators
and miners into conference. But the
strike had been In progress for four
months. thousands Of miners in the
bituminous fields were giving of their
scanty earnings to assist their OPP
pressed anthracite brethren. and yet
the president took no action. Has 1t
come to that In this country that the
matter of having to use soft coal Is
OF more Importance to the president
than all the Ills that the anthracite
men are forced to bear? This would
seem a reasonable DEDUCTION from the
presidents inactivity till the cry came
up because of shortage in the anthra-
cite supply. The sufferings OF the
miners are as nothing to the average
Republican when compared to little
inconvenience in New York and other
Eastern cities

The manufacturers of harvesting
machines and the manufacturers of
threshers have already formed com
bines and all the iron and steel that
enter into other implements that the
farmers use are in the grasp Of the
great steel trust. over which J. Pier.
pont Morgan presides. The outlook
for the farmer under such circum.
stances may be a little discouraging
but as long as he votes for the robber
tariff he must expect to be robbed.
The most effective way to curb the
trusts is TO put the Democrats in con-
troll OF congress.

The Massachusetts Republicans have
covertly declared against tariff revi.
sion by adopting plank which init
mates that there Is no necessity for
such a step. They look at It this way !:
Changes which the worlds progress
and the interests OF the American peo-
pie may suggest should and will be
made by the Republican party when
ever they are OF sufficient importance
to justify the check to business which
inevitably attends any revision Of the
tariff"
In other words. the Republicans OF
Massachusetts believe that the tarifI
protected trusts should be permitted
to continue their robbery Of the peo
pie, because there would be a check
to business II the tariff Is revised
Perhaps, though. 1t would be the
check" that the people are after-a
check that would bring down prices
to normal. and by giving a healthy
competition, enable the people at large
to realize some Of the prosperity
that the trusts are now monopolizing

Tom Johnson in Politics and Business

Very few men in public Office can
separate business from politics. selfish
ness from patriotism, as can Tom l.
Johnson. who just now. as the Demo
cratic leader in Ohio. is conducting
such a spectacular campaign.
When in congress Johnson. who was
known to be big manufacturer OF
steel rails. was asked how he could
reconcile his free-trade policy with his
duty to his steel rail company. He
replied substantially as follows:
Il will reply to the distinguished
gentleman by saying. first. that ! was
not sent here to represent any cor
poration or manufacturing concern
| am here to represent the people
Also that we In this country can man.
ufacture steel rails more cheaply than

The New York World thus sum-
marizes the real evils which now az
flict the masses OF the people:
l. The killing OF competition. the
only safeguard for consumers and the
great incentive To individual enter
prise.
2. The arbitrary fixing and mainten.
ance Of unreasonably high prices. No
monopoly can be trusted To make fair
prices. The comparatively low price
