since 1880 and have pretty extensive
knowledge of the rank and file of the
movement. Some time you'll meet him
In better world than this if you do
your duty while in this world; there's
no doubt about his getting there.
Now let me tell you about the other
fellow, and won't tell you his name,
either. If you can guess it, all right,
but don't waste postage stamp ask
Ing me to say whether your guess is
right or not
In January, 1887, went to Chicago
and started labor paper, which I
called the Chicago Enquirer. There
wasn't any particular reason why
should stick to that word Enquirer, but
/ did it, nevertheless. For about six
months owned both the Denver and
Chicago papers, when sold @ the for
mer. In Chicago I went through the
same experiences that had been mine
for six years in Denver, but the misery
didn't extend over SO long period, or
I probably wouldn't be alive to tell the
tale today.
In September, 1888, after several
sinking spells, interspersed with tenn
porary rallies, found myself face to
face with the hardest proposition of
my career as a labor editor. You see
the labor men and women of Chicago
were not so foolish as the little party
which had backed me up for so long in
Denver. Another attack of the "blue
DEVILS" and bad one this time:
AS sat alone in my little shop Wis
itor entered. This was a man mot I'M
known to fame, though, truth to say, he
was one whose greatness was the result
of thrust. He was not born that way,
nor had he achieved greatness. He was,
or thought he was, social reformer of
certain school, and-now don't sheer,
for am telling you the truth-he was
the nominee Of the adherents of that
school for president of the United
States.
In the course Of the conversation be.
tween my visitor and myself he made
known that he had called to secure the
support of my influential O. journal in
his candidacy for the chief magistracy
Of the nation. There was nothing to do
but to tell him the truth about the finan-

BETTER BUSINESS METHODS
Saving the Wastes on the Farm an
Important Matter.

Important Matter.
Some one has said that if he could
have what was wasted on an aver
age American farm he could live in
comfort. This, l fear, is only too true
of the average farmer. He does not
make study of his business. While
hundreds Of dollars worth of the best
liquid fertilizer is running to waste in
his barns, or under the caves of it, he
is buying commercial fertilizer at $50
ito $40 per ton to enrich his land While
mature has given him rich and fertile
land he too often sees an alluring bag
of gold in the bountiful yield of hay
and does not realize that he is robhing
his land of fertility when be sells hay.
These and a thousand other wastes
ton the farm are brought to the farmers
notice by the discussions in the grange,
and the farmer must be dull indeed
who does not reap some benefit from
them. A fair and just exchange of the
commodities of the farm for those Of
the factory, the mine and the profess
Sional man must come about through
better business methods. The farmer
should act with others Of his own pro-
fession and at least devote as much
energy to marketing his crop as to pro-
ducing it.
There are many causes to remove be-
fore agriculture will receive a fair and
just return for the capital and labor
Invested in the industry, but the remov-
al of these causes lies in the hands Of
the farmer himself He must cooper
ate with others in improving his bust
mess methods and must apply the same
thought, energy and business ability to
agriculture that are applied to any 9th

The Flesh and BLOOD of Bows,

The plain facts of the coal trade are
that coal that costs the mine owners
and railways $1.87 at New York sells
there for SIS and Sc ton in ordinary
times. This enormous profit, with a
small deduction for the retail dealers
commission, goes into the pockets of
the monopoly, and the taking of it is
as much a crime as if the flesh and
blood of the miners and breaker boys
were minted into coin. 1t is money
screwed out of the wretchedness of fell
low men, and it would be as honorable
to draw enormous profits from small
pox hospitals or from the necessities of
plague ridden mmunities.-Ernest II.

was nothing left to me but a mort.

gone and that l had nothing left upon

little trinkets had gone to the pawn
shop and that. all she had left was a
gold watch which l had given her as a
Christmas present some years before
and that she and had been tempted to
pawn that to get out one more issue of
the paper.
My visitor remained for half an hour
or more, and as he was about ready to

II guess can let you have the money
to get out another issue, and something
may turn up in few days to put you
on your feet again.
Full Of hope in a minute-my beset-

feet and cried: evil you? Bully for

little paper, but of the enslaved and dis.

me and asked, with the caution of the
ideal Shylock:
