 the Political Bee wiii Make Man Do. Indianapolis, April 22.--.'Mr. Hanra's
 rushing to the rescue of organized labor is, when you come to think of it, a somewhat astonishing spectacle" said D. M. Parry to-day, when asked for his opinion as to the attack made upon his labor position by Senator Hanna at the banquet of the Amalgamated Steel Workers at Columbus last night. 'I
 have no personal feeling whatever against MT. Hanna. and I am glad to note that he has none against me. Can it be that MT. Hanna is beginning at this late day to copy after the methods of the mayor of Cleveland? In the cam paign of 1896. the very men that MT. Hanna now extols as the able leaders or organized labor, issued a circular de- manding in the name of all the wealth. producers of the country the remoneti- zation of silver and because he, as chair man of the national republican com- mittee did all he could In support of the | gold standard he was lampooned and | abused worse, perhaps, that any man before or since by these very men l whose friendship he now so assiduously
 seeks. The genesis of MT. Hanna from
 an energetic business man with labor
 record, not particularly distinguished ! for leniency, into political leader and finally United States senator, who is the leading spirit, if not the founder of
 the Civic Federation. is a remarkable | instance of what the political bee will
 make a man do when it gets to buzzing | in his bonnet. As good union man he
 may yet think it incumbent upon him to l look with an indulgent eye upon Bryan 1 ism and am almost inclined to believe I it an opportune time to make the sug- | gestion that he be made the next run- | ming mate for Bryan. Bryan and Hanna-how is that for a ticket?
 l "Of course am aware that all this l is not argument. but then there was very little argument in MT. Hanna's | speech. He takes up a paper, which has I met the endorsement of 98 per cent. of I the manufacturers of the country as 1 being a fair exposition of the socialistic tendency and makes what I think the
 country will hold as poor attempt to | answer it. He reads section from
 this paper, then denies it is true and
 turns around. after sneering at the
 writer, and says in the manner of the
 ordinary stump speaker:- Boys, isn't that so?' Of course the boys send up
 an uproarious shout of approval. Then
 he patted this man on the back and l then that one, called MT. 'Shaffer brother and otherwise conducted him.

 What has MT. Hanna to say about fixing the wages by artificial methods? ? I There is the root of the whole matter.
 If it is right that one class of work
 men should have their wages fixed ar
 bitrarily, then it is only just that the l wages of all classes should be fixed in
 the same manner, I have heard it said
 that, had it not been for MT. Hanna and I his Civic Federation, the anthracite coal strike would have been settled without
 the crushing losses that fell upon the
 consumers of the country; but be this
 as it may, does MT. Hanna agree that 1t was perfectly proper for the miners

 ployes in other industries, and yet, de- spite this finding, the commission granted an advance of 10 per cent.
 "I am surprised to see that MT. Hanna
 so fiatly denies the proposition that or- ganized labor is founded on the princi-
 pie of force, when every day furnishes
 demonstrations in proof of my charge. The only reason the anthracite coal
 miners received a wage scale confessed
