LEST WE FORGET.

People who rule this land. beware.
Look to the ways in which We go,
For willy men have spread snare,
Have digged a pit and left it So
Panics of yore remind us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
The clamor and the din is on,
The battle RACES far and near,
The terror of hard times is gone
Ye dare not let it reappear-
Panics of yore remind US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
Far are the days of ninety-three,
Dimly their hideous shadows loom.
But let their grim-taught lesson be
Guards TO keep US from new doom
Panics of yore remind us yet.
Lest we forget--lest we forget.
If drunk with high success to-day
We boast and do not fear defeat.
Let some grim threat of yesterday
Debar US from a dire retreat
Panics of yore remind us yet.
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
Voters who rule this land. beware,
Fer whom We vote and how, and Their
Heed not fair promises of air
Put not your trust in untried men
Panics of yore remind us yet.
Lest we forget-lest we forget.

The banner year for strikes was 1894.
which involved a loss of S3I. 145, 532 to
employees in wages.
1t has been estimated that the strikes
OF 1908 lessened the purchasing power
OF the American people by fally $1,000
100000; and yet, so universal was the
increase in pay of wage earners that
the savings deposits of the country were
increased by the enormous sum of $240,-
793, 1o5 in one year. This affords II
striking contrast to the memorable year
of Democratic adversely, 1894. when
$3T, 1867 more savings were with
drawn than were deposited.
There is vast difference between the
significance of strikes in years of adver-
sity and years of prosperity. According
to the annual report of the American
Federation of Labor the 1904 strikes of
the organizations affiliated with that
body in 1908 resulted in benefits to no
less than 192.591, or u per cent of the
249,S19 members involved. In 1894 the
proportion of successful strikes was only
37.35.
Clearly the present prevalence of spor-
adic strikes will not serve the Demo
Gratis as a campaign issue, except as a
boomerang.

THE PENDING STRIKES.
They Are Of No Use as Democratic
Campaign Material

After cropping about blindly for some
thing to take the place Of the dead Is
to L free silver issue of 1896 and 1900.
the Democrats have apparently seized
upon the unrest of labor as indicated i'm
numerous strikes in various parts of the
country as a condition which can be
charged TO the Republican party. This
is merely another illustration of the ira
ditional faulty of Democratic issue hun
te-j to monkey with a live wire, when
they are looking for something to win
votes.
Strikes, like the poor, we have with
us always. But unlike the poor they are
not proofs of hard times and misfortune
More often strikes are the signs and at
tendants of prosperous times. In hard
times wage earners have nothing to
strike for, except against sharing in the
losses which wait on unremunerative
industry. In good times, such as we
have been experiencing under Republi-
can rule during the past eight years,
strikes indicate the natural ambition of
labor to secure an increased share in
the profits Of their remunerative indus
try.
Under Cleveland, from 1893 to 1896,
strikes signified the protest of labor
against declining wages.
Under Mckinley and Roosevelt, from
1897 to 1904, strikes have marked the
strides by which labor has raised its
wages to a point never before known in
the history of the industrial world.
No official statistics Of strikes have
been compiled later than for 1900 but
the figures for the sixteen years to and
including that year show the follow
ing loss of wages to employees during
two Republican and two Democratic
administrations;
