Their Waoes Reduced.
of the Herald:

To the Editor of the Herald:
The exposure Of the Presidents Re
publican "him-fam" of stating the "av-
erage wage received" and letting it
go as meaning the average annual
wage is something that every voting
wage Garner should know, especially
those who vote the Republican ticket.
From the top to the bottom of the
political office holders emanate all
kinds Of Misunderstanding to help
along the ticket. 1 write. however, in
behalf Of a section Of workers who,
having no union, are never heard of
as strikers or in any other way. They
are silent sufferers, who have felt the
sting OF poverty caused by a merci-
less reduction Of their wages during
the last ten years. I allude to the
bOokkeepers and Office clerks.
1t has been stated as a fact that the
average wage of the boOkkeepers and
office clerks does not reach that Of
the city street sweepers. 1t is prob
ably very considerably below it Their
wages have fallen of during the ten
years past at least 80 1-3 per cent, and
these men are required to be neat
and tidy in appearance and live in
respectable quarters.
What a mOckeTy to them is the pratt
ing Of prosperity by Republican spell
binders! The majority Of these book
keepers and clerks are intelligent on
political matters and vote against ex-
travagance and imperialism as given
US by the present administration; but
there are some who are so blind that
they vote against themselves by aid
ing the Republican ticket.
Will they ever wake up to the
truth? w A. S.

many published cases in which anemia
and other diseases Of the blood, as
well as nervous diseases, such as ner-

have been cured by these pills. They
