How do you go about raising
wages?" | asked.
That's an easy Job" replied secre-
tary DAILY, but YOU want to know how
to do H. The way we do is to say that
we win demand bigger wages six
months from now. Suppose II is Janu-
ary We notify the capitalists that We
must have more money after the LIST OF
June. They think the matter over and
conclude 10 stop IT, They fix II 20 that
they win have but little work on hand

that 1t would not hurt them II we
struck. We know all about their con-
tracts as we'll as they do and when the
time comes we say nothing about
wages. We just lay low and wait until
there Is n big job on hand worth sew

contractors, then We come I'D with
our old demand for extra wages or no

But don't the contractors object?"
They squeal, OF course. but / tell

they thought they could fool us. They
now see that We have the upper hand
and they come down. OH II is dead

UNIoNIsTs WHO ovERREACH
THEMSELVES,
There Is no doubt but that many of
the demands of organized labor are
extravagant. They may not come from
the unions as such, but from union
men, so foolish that they overreach
themselves to their own hurt"

SILK HATS AND DERBYs.
"In the first place, Mr. Phillips tell
me something about the men engaged
| I'm your trade. Who are they and what
Kind of hats do they make?'
"They are mostly Americans" replied
the secretary OF the hatters, although
there are some foreigners, There are
two matters unions, one has to do with
silk hats or plugs and the other with
soft hats and derbys. These different
classes OF hats are generally made in
different factories and each sort has its
own union"
Where are the chief hatmaking GEN.
ters?" / asked.
They are in the east" replied Mr..
Phillips. There are more In New
York and Brooklyn than anywhere else,
but you find hat factories also In New
ark and Orange, N j., and In Phila-
delphia, Boston, and In and about
Danbury, Conn. Danbury lives off tie
hatmakers. There was a lockout there
some years ago and the retail mer-
chants had to carry the men on their
books or stop business. All their trade
came from the hatters."
How about the st, are there no
hats made there?"
Not IA any," was the reply. There
are few factories In Chicago and ST,
Louis, and quite large one at Wabash,
Ind. The Wabash factory was started
by Jew livery stablekeeper. He makes
his hats out of the fur Of Belgian hares
and has a hare farm associated with II
TO supply the fur. All the best Of the
soft hats and derbys are made out of
fur or down of rabbits, hares or
comics"
UNION HATTERS AND STRIKES.
Does your union do good?" asked.
yes, II does" replied Mr.. Phillips.
1--WE have not had a strike for years,
and we have raised our wages and
shortened the hours. When there Is
any trouble the employers come to us.
We talk the matter over together and
try TO avoid a strike by making mutual
concessions"

A Beautiful SOmersault.
From the Hatred of Cleveland to
Support of lCeveland's
Friend.
Laurens Advertiser.

Laurens Advertiser.
Fully six months ago The adj
vertiser advised the Democrats
of Laurens that Senator Ben Till,
man wonld become to all intents
and purpose n "good gold bug
before the year was over. We
pointed out that he would abandon
Bryan and warned them that their
noisy free silver champion would
get on the band wagon regardless
of all his past profession. We
confess, however that we did not
expect the redoubtable BENJAMIN
would repudiate his past to the
astonishing extent to which he ac-
tually did repudiate it last week.
For the Senator, IN St. Louis de
clared himself for George Gray of
Delaware for the Democratic nom
lnation, the same GeorgeGray who
voted for Palmer and Buckner,
who bolted in 1896 and who was
a gold bug of goldbugs and a
leader of the "assistant Republi-
cans When Judge Gray was
a United States senator he was
probably Of all men the closest and
most consistent political friend of
Grover Cleveland. Even when his
State convention endorsed him
for the preridency two weeks ago,
he declared emphatically that he
was not candidate and that Grow
er Cleveland was his first choice.
This man Senator TilInlan now
phrases as true Democrat, who
has been "faithful to the Demo
cracy of the fathers handed
down to him" and him Senator
Tillman publicly urged the South
Carolina delegates to support.
Thus does Senator Tillman, the
archenemy of Wall street, the wiel-
der of the pitchfork and the apos-
tie of "16 to / or bust" IN South
Carolina, after eight years pull in
like a little man and take his place
in the ranks of those who nomi-
mated Palmer and Buckner. In
the convention at indianapolis,
number of delegates desired to
nominate Judge Gray rather than
Gen. Palmer. Senator Tlllmsn is
only eight years behind them.
Judge Gray, moreover, was one
of those Paris commissioners wso
voted for the PHILIPPINE treaty
and yet in 1900 at Kansas CITY
Senator Tillman's paramount
issue was denunciation of this
treaty and it's inevitable results.
So far as The Advertiser is con
cerned, it endorses the senator's
present attitude. Itis glad to well
come him into the ranks of those
who believe in Democrats of the
George Gray stamp-which is
preeminently the Grover Clcve-
land brand.
The Advertiser and the "gold
bugs" have always believed in
Gray, and Tillman, the rcpentant
sinner, is welcome to a place
among the shouters.
when it Is coupled with laudation
of George Gray.
The Advertiser has no reason
to doubt the genuineness of the
senator's change of heart. The
senator is a man of sense. He
has landed on the right side-and
in the band wagon. Let us hope
that his devoted followers have
not lost confidence in his wisdom
and that they will join him in his
backturning on the follies of Bry>
anism.
OF course endorsement of GRAY
is endorsement of Cleveland
for IN politics they are on,
