munerative wages. This is not
true. The working man not only
is getting his wages cut by AL the
big trusts and corporations in the
country, but the government itself
is cutting wages. The Boston
Transcript, a good Republican pa
per, of December 31st last, has an
item to the effect that the men en-
ployed in the Charleston Navy
Yard will have their wages cut
from $500 per day to S1.S4 per day,
and that there was sore distress
over the matter and much indigna-
ton. The beginning of hard times
is not only visible among the
laboring men of the country, but
among the better paid classes of
people. That is evidenced by the
falling-off in the attendance at the
theaters all over the country, and
by the number of actors who are
stranded and hunting for work,
there being fully 200 companies
disbanded in the last thirty days,
and over 1900 actors out of en-
ployment. If that is Republican
prosperity then the sooner the
people get rid of it the better for
them.
The discussion among the men
in Congress who are leading Demo-
Gratis, concerning the dinner given
in New York on the fourth instant
to the Hon. George B. Mcclellan,
is to the effect that the speech OF
Hon. Richard Olney, of Massachu-
setts, in naming Grover Cleveland
as the man who should be nomi-
mated by the Democrats for the
Presidency, has completely elimi-
mated himself from the running,
and injured the chances of Judge
Parker, inasmuch as he was con-
sidered the residuary legatee of
Cleveland. Things here are rapidly
narrowing down to German and
Hearst, with Hearst in the lead.

Boosting about the fact that

They don't want the tariff question

For the ten months ending last
October, during the whole OF
which period the suspension of the
duty was operative, the exports Of
coal from the United States were
5,2S4,9 ,948 tons, compared with A.
526,967 for the same portion o1
1902, and with 4,634,324 tons in

creased over 100000 in 1908, wher
the duty was suspended. The i'm
