An interesting story is told by the
New York American in this way: Last
Friday priest restored to the pr esident
OF traction company $3.50 The amount
of a verdict a woman had secured at the
end of damage suit. The woman con-
fessed to the good priest that she was
not seriously injured, but that her lawyer
had told her TO swear to certain things
not true in order to make the verdict
stick. The seal of the confession conceals
the name OF the lawyer"

Average wages Of farm lalorers in the
l1nifp1 StnfaS F.


II VIII De perceived tnat the average
rate paid in the United States in 1902
for six months is within SLIGO of the
maximum rate paid to the best farm
hands in Great Britainiin May, 1901, and
almost double the minimum paid second
class men.
The figures of our Department of Ag-
riculture, moreover, apply only to those
laborers hired by the year or season, the
rates where the engagement is by the
day are very much higher. being 80
cents per day, with board. and $1.13
without, in 1902. against So cents with,
and 81 cents without board, in 1894.
This would make the pay, with board,
in 1894, average $94.50 for a half year
of $50 days, while the average compen-
sation of the American farm laborer paid
by the day in 1902 would be $133.5O
for the six months, with board.
But statistical averages, valuable as
they are in rejecting the general condi-
tons, are elusive and tantalizing things
when they attempt to cover the rate of
wages in an occupation like agriculture,
which, including employers and employ
ed, numbers at least 100000 persons
over 10 years of age and upwards Of ev-
cry age, color and sex. The American
farm laborer knows what wages he re-
ceives. and he can compare it with what
is paid in England, and greatly to his.
own satisfaction.
He also knows that the above aver
ages in the United States for 1894 and
1902 fairly though family reflect the
difference between his industrial, condi-
ton during the last Democratic national
administration and now. And in Norem-
Der he will not vote for any party whose
success would f%oreshadow a return to
the conditions of 1894 and 1895.

why ALL's WELLIN KANSAS.
1t Is Because of Sound Money and the
PrQtcctiye policy.

oiAGy H
Few people realize how or why the
such solicitude throughout the country
especially in the Western States.
The fact is ~indisputable that there is
something about its climate, the mer-
curial disposition of its people and the
conditions of life in Kansas that make
it a sort of barometer for the rest of the
republic. When there is anything seri-
Gus the matter with Kansas it is GER
tain that all is not exactly right with
her neighbors. When there is a drouth
in Kansas there is apt to be a mighty
thirst in all the region west Of the Mis-
Sissippi. When the rains and sunshine
bless Kansas with bountiful harvests
and the cyclone and grasshopper give her
Il wide berth, the fitness is apt to extend
beyond her borders and fill the land with
reason for rejoicings and content.
When Providence frowns on Kansas
the heart of the nationois usually SORROW
full for her-and for itself.
When Providence smiles on Kansas
the rest of US generally bid au revoir to
melancholy.
Therefore Senator Fairbanks did we'll,
in opening the Republican campaign at
Marion, Kan. Sept. Ito remind his au-
ditors Of the change that had comesover
their prospects since the days when the
whole land rang with the cry, Whats
the matter with Kansas" Happily he
was able to proclaim, if not from4the
house tops, at least to the telegraph OPP
orators for dissemination th~roughontSthe
nation, that "Alls well in Kansas"
Swiftly he drew the picture of the con-
ditions as they existed eight years ago:
kansas was suffering from the effects
of Democratic administration. The in
forests Of her agriculture languished. Her
crops rotted in the field or were market
ed at u~nremunerated prices" And much
more to the same effect. Then he point
ed to the prosperity of the present. with
out need to recapitulate the blessings
that good crops, good prices, good govern
ment and sound money showered upon
Kansas as from an exhaustless urn.
During the last seven years." he said"
mo one has shared the prosperity which
has come to the country in a fuller de-
gree than the farmers of Kansas" And
he illustrated the prosperity of the State
by the increase in her bank deposits
from $33,OO0,0OO in 1895 to over $780,
100000 in 1907 AS a matter of exact
record it might be we'll to say that the
bank deposits in Kansas increased from
~S30,529,4S7 in 1896 to $s4.O55,11O, or
$50 per cent, while those of the whole
country increased from 1921. S2S.3:39 to
S540,649, 702, or slightly under 1874 per
cent.
Would the reader know how all this
wonderful prosperity came to Kansas?
1t was through her own industry stimu-
lated and protected by the sound econ
onlic and monetary policies of the 4x-
publican party.
In 1895 corn on the farms OF Kansas
was bringing 10 cents a bushel; last year,

OF cour.o Not.

David B. Hill stated, in one of his
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath of Office after the death of
President Mckinley, said that he would
not be a candidate for President in 1904.
President Roosevelt has never made a
promise as to his own personal action
which he did not redeem. The President
is outspoken, fair and square. These
are characteristics of the man. He
makes no promises he does not intend to
keep, and be keeps such as he makes.
The silly story started by Hill had no
foundation in fact, and it is really not
worth the ink and paper that has been
used in denying it. except that it once
more marks the character of Hill.

FARM WAGES.
Figures AS to Rates Paid in England
and the Unite ! States.

~ IA 0tuNG6
The August Labor Gazette. a govern
ment publication issued monthly by the
British Board of Trade, gives an inter
esting account of the half-y yearly agri-
cultural hirings at Whitsuntide. 1904, for
the counties of Cumberland. Westmore-
land and North Lancashire. which affords
an instructive view of the rates paid
farm hands in England. The official re-
port prepared for the department states
that the supply of male farm servants
was fairly plentiful. owing partly to
~slackness of employment in other indus
tries but that wages showed a down
ward tendency in the case of men. but
women Were scarce and their a
We're we'll maintained"
The following were the rates generally
agreed upon for the half year:
Per six months
with board.
Best men 5000 to 500. 90
Second class men. .......... Uv0J To 1900
1ouths and boys .........., 20.0p 10 1000
Best women ............ ~. @ 10 7JGO
Second class women and
Glfis .......... .......... 2uto to Go.0O
These rates have been slightly increase
ed in the transcription from English
money into dollars and cents at the ratio
OF 20 per pound, but they afford Il clear
and authoritative exhibit of what BRUSH
farm hands are receiving by which every
intelligent American farm hand can COM
part the wages he receives.
Without knowing the number of men
employed in each class and at varying
rates therein il is, of course, impossible
to arrive at an average rate of compensa-
ton. But with 500 per half year for
the highest and $50 for the lowest of the
~second~class men it is evident that the
yearly average for male farm hands ex-
elusive of youths and boys in Great
Britain canno be much, if any, above
$3.50 a year, while the average for woln-
en- would be somewhere around 500.
We have no similar figures for the
United States, but in a recent bulletin
entitled Wages of Farm Labor in the
United States" issued by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, the figures of the
average monthly wages of farm laborers
i'll this country are given. Multiplied by
six, to arrive at the half yearly rate,
they furnish the following:

expansion does not lessen n nations in

UNLIKE DEMOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
bale of Philippine Bond. to a Western
Bank, Ii HiRhs.t Bidder Demo-
cratic Deal with the Belmont
Syndicate Riddled.

The fourth installment of the $4,000
ONO of Philippine bonds was taken at
lO1.41 by the Western National Bank
of Oklahoma City, whose bid for the
bonds was the highest. The fact that q
western bank should outbid leading insti-
buttons Of Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West is rapidly gaining
in financial power and Importance. No
western bank would have dared to bid
for such Il large issue of bonds without
being perfectly satisfied that it could find
a broad market for them amongst local
investors. The old financial problem Of
the West was to get money from the
East. The present problem OF the West
is to find good channels for the invest
mcnt of its Own money.
by a transaction such as this we find
itors of the Philippine Islands. In other
words, they are ~loaning some of the
fruits of their own prosperity under Re
publican lnle to help along the prosperity
of our nations wards in the Philippines.
The security which United States gov
over the Philippines gives to
lives and property, trade and industry,
makes the credit of the islands good, SO
that investors are quite willing to pay a
premium for Philippine bonds. If the
United States government We're not SOW
ereign over the Philippines, it is a ques-
ton whether the islands would be able
to hoat bonds ever at a discount, hence
many needed improvements for the ISL
ands could not be carried out. Were
the Democratic party to be successful
in the election this fall, the owners of
Philippine bonds would doubtless see a
quick slump in their market value.
Notorious Democratic Deal.
1t is the Republican policy in the case
of necessary issues of bonds. like the war
loan of 1898 and this Philippine bond
issue. to sell the bonds by popular sub
scription or by public competitive bid
ding for them. This gives the whole peo-
pie an equal chance, and all sections of
the country an equal chance, to secure
them for Investment and to realize what
ever profit their ultimate appreciation
may bring. Under the Democratic plan,
as followed out during the last Cleveland
administration. the government ignored
the small investors, and had no use for
my financial institution west of Wall
street.
For instance, on Feb. Is, 1895, the
Democratic Secretary of the Treasury
signed a contract with a New York syn
dictate for the selling of $62,315.40O four
per cent bonds. These bonds the syndi-
cate sold to the public for $50, 1924,
clearing a profit for itself. out of the
transaction, of nearly S3.000,O0 The
price at which the bonds were sold to
the syndicate was equivalent to 1O411a,
when the existing United States four per
cent bonds, with less than half as long
a time to run, were bringing Ill on the
market. The syndicate dictated to the
government the terms of the deal. ONE

DICTATE, AUGUST BELMONT, IS
