PRESIDENT D0NNHLLY HAS i.
!. CALLED THH AFFAIR orr
The Employees Who Can Secure Work
Are at Liberty to Return The Un-

4 the Cold.

Chicago Sept. o,--Six hundred live
stock handlers who went on strike, APP
Piled for their old positions today at the
Offices Of Manager Skinner. The menl-
bclsa Of the Inicns were not so much in
evidence as many did not know the
strike had been declared off. d
The strike OF the butcher worktnen
which has been on for the last two
months, was officially declared off last
night b.. President Do1inelly, of the
Anialgaliated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Worknlen Of America Donnelly tele-
graphed the members of the national ex-
eculive committee, asking their consent
to an announcement of the end of the
struggle, and having received favorable
answers from all, he declared the strike
of the i,,embers Of his organization was
at :al end
Dcnnelly announced that the men
were Geteated and that in order to
save his Union from disruption he made
the order to- return to work, no matter
What course might be taken by the 9TH
or unions. AS the other unions had no
grievance of their own, but had gone
on strike to aid the butchers, there was
nothing left for them but to follow the
lead Of Donnelly, and they, too, decided
I to call off the strike as far as they were
concerned. Il Nh
When the packers were advised to-
night that it had been decided to end
the strike they announced that they
would give places as far as possible to
the skilled men, but it was said at the
unable to secure their old places as in
many cases the We.k was being per-
formed in satisfactory manner by the
men wiio had Lee, secured sircs the
commencement Of ti1e strike. 1t is ..yy--
pcctcd that the majority of unskilled
men will be unable to secure their places
again. 1t was the question of wage
Stale for this class of men that brought
about the strike, the packers refusing
10 sign an agreerisnt with any other
u than skilled men. @
During the, strike Approximately 5S,-
900 persons have been involved in the
struggle, which is estimated; to have
cost the iller about $5,Ioo,ooo in wages,
as against an estimated loss of 500, 600
to the packers in loss oil, business and in
increased expenses. The greatest num-
l,ers Of men idle in Chicago during the
strike was zt.,6oo, and the total in the
country cutsiGe of this city is estimated
to he about the same. The original
cause of the strike was the demand OF
the. Butchers Union that the packers
pay siilskilled Worlsrnen 1870 cents an
norr. The packers refused to- sign an
agreement, but offered to arbitrate the
question: .ss

An.w.r to Democrats Contention,

An.wer tn Democratic Contention.
The national banks of the United
States hold in cash today 1851 ,OOO,O 600.
against $780,, OO0, 600 in 1895, and show
a total Of loans and discounts Of s..
7OO,OOO,OOO, against $500. 100000 In
1896. These figures show the fallacy
of the present Democratic contention
that large bank deposits and cheap
loaning rate for money indicate con-
tracing business and poor demand
for money for investment purposes and
Industrial uses.
The legitimate business demands for
money-implying business expansion
are more than double what they were
eight years ago. The banks Of the
country would not be able to meet
them. and rates of money would be
excessively dear, except for the fact
that Republican prosperity has brought
about enormous increase in deposits,
and the victory of the gold standard in
1896 and again in 1900 has resulted In
large 5accumulations Of gold in the
United States, which made it safe for
the banks, with increased cash re
serves, to increase their loans SO as
not, to restrain the rapid business ex-
pansion which came with the election
of William Mckinley.

II Democracy has returned to San
ity," as Grover Cleveland asserts, 1t 10
certain the party has not yet purged
itself of something even worse than
insanity. Anarchists are greatercurse
to any community than lunatics. for
lunatics are often harmless to society;
but anarchists, by their words and
deeds, are always a menace. Take
the case of Congressman j. T. Helm.
for instance. He is an Albanian
with mouth more dangerous than
dozen Czolg0szes. The assassin OF
President Mckinley did not openly
preach anarchisnl before carrying out
his purpose and thereby incite others
to slay public men. Hefiin is more
cowatylly. In recent speech at Tuske-
gee, Ala. the home of Booker I. Wash
sington and the negro school conducted
BY him., Hetiin said: .t .&5
There they sat, Roosevelt and
Booker, and If Czoigosz or de6of his
kind had thrown a bomb under the
! table no great harm would have been
done the country"
OF the report that Booker Washing
ton was going to help to beat him for
election to congress, Hef1in said:
IF Booker takes a hand in this thing
| Il will be one time I will ask him to
step out. l will ask him to hands OF, ;
and you know we have way of inftu-
encing negroes down here"
Heflin, who succeeded Congressman
| Thompson, had, q fight with his Be
publican opponent, Captain b. w.
Walker, on Sunday. Smarting under
this, he attacked Walker fiercely IN
his speech. He described him as "a
black and tan serpent kissing at the
feet of honest, upright Democrats
He said it was the desire of the Re
publieans to have Walker sent to con
gress so they could say: Here's
friend of Booker Washington and II
shows how he is looked upon down
there and how the people uphold him.
If, Parker is elected president" he
said, ..and Booker Washington goes to
/ Washington, you will find him eating
in the kitchen instead Of the dining
ROOM"
Hefiin said he refused to meet Walker
In joint debate because that would
have recognized him as his equal. HI
added:
Il do not recognize any black and
tan as my equal. will not lower
myself to the level of a. black and tar
who mingles on equal terms with ne
groes.''
It avails Hedin nothing to say hi
bomb talk was intended to be jocular
The fact remains that it was incen
diary language. such as is made Grim
inal by the Aanti-anarchist law recently
passed by congress. The Democratic
party has much to answer for, ant
unless It muzzles such blatant 'nigger'
1 haters as Hefin it may have NOR
crimes laid at its doors. Helm is ont
OF the leaders Of the party In tn
south, and his utterances are an indi
cation that Democracy is, at least, no
''safe," even IL it is now sane" q
Mr.. Cleveland would have the people
believe.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS
sAsy Receive the Abuse OF Densora
and support Of the People.

xhey Receive the Abuse OF DemoofoAe
and support Of the People.
According to the Democrats, the Re-
Publican presidents, every one Of them,
have been bad lot, personally and po-
ntically. Each and all OF them were
declared to be running the country; but
when the day of reckoning came. and
the verdict of the people was handed
n on their ballots, judgment was CIV
en-save in two cases In forty -four
years-for the Republican,. Impartial
history acquits every Republican pres
Ment Of criminal intent and acts. In
doing his duty to the people Mr.. Lin
colin became martyr. No ruler was
ever more vilified and denounced. His
body in life, his spirit in death, repre-
sent the dividing line between loyalty
and disloyalty, between the cohesion
Of the states or their disintegration.
When a Democrat, he be leader or fol-
lower. writes or talks of the Republic
an party as nation-destroyer through
its measures or its presidents. 1t Is be-
cause he does not know or does not
care to remember that Buchanan, who,
was Democrat, shaped the course Of
his administration 50 that the advo-
Gates of secession might have a quick
and easy victory; it was this Demo
cratic president who left to his Repub-
lican successor and the loyal people he
had been chosen to govern, an empty
treasury, corporal's guard Of an
army, wreck Of a navy, dismantled
fortresses, and legions Of oficeholders
liberated with a disloyalty that the
stern lessons of war and years Of
Christian peace have not entirely Grad
icated. And before Buchanan were
Democratic administration whose acts
were seemingly studied preludes to his
crime. The lineage Of the Democrat.
ic party is a record of broken pledges
conceived in political. iniquities and
strangled at their birth. It is the
Democratic party to which the people
owe four years of civil war and eight
years Of such mtsgovernment that the
rich became poor and the poor starved.
1t has been the province Of the Re
publican party to undo the work Of ita
opponents; 1t has again and again
saved the nation from degenerating ia
a low grade in nationalities, and 1t has
/ enforced respect throughout the world
for a country which the Democlata
had brought into contempt.
OF course the Democrats assail Re
publican presidents and their nominees
for the place OF chief executive; they
do this more by inunendo than BY d.
rect accusation-a stabbing in the darl
rather than fight in the sunlight. But
there is always this in favor Of the Re
publican party's presidents from the
time they begin to make history fol
the nation-that for their support II
the ordeal Of public criticism they have
had the constitution Of the Union, I'll
congresses, and the voice of the people
