FARM WAGES.
Figures as to Rates Paid in England
and the Unite1 States

The August Labor Gazette, govern
ment publication issued monthly by the
British Board of Trade, gives an inter-
esting account of the half-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 1.-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
were we'll maintained
The following were the rates generally
agreed upon for the half year:
Per six months
with board.
Best men $500 to 500. 90
Second class men. 5000 to 1900
Youths and boys ........... 1000 to 5000
Best women ............... 5000 to 1890
Second class women and
girls .......... 1870. 5000 to COCO
These rates have been Slightly increas-
ed in the transcription from English
money into dollars and cents at the ratio
of So per pound, but they afford clear
and authoritative exhibit of what British
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 it 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 eN-
elusive of youths and boys in Great
Britain cannot be much, if any, above
500 year, while the average for wom-
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
III this country are given. Multiplied by
six, to arrive at the half yearly rate,
they furnish the following:
Average wages of farm laborers in the
United States.

OF Course Not.

David B. Hill stated, in one of his
speeches, that MIR. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath of office after the death of
President Mckinley, said that he would
not be 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 he 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

Average wages of farm iaborers in the
United States
Per six months

1t will be perceived that 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 Britain in May, 1904, 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 SO
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 80 for a half year
of 80 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
n nd nd in
her he will not vote for any party whose
success would foreshadow return to
the conditions Of 1894 and 1895.

Expansion a Blessing.

United States Consul General Guen-
Their, at Frankfort Germany, quotes a
uoted German professor as saying that
expansion does not lessen a nations in
herent compa ctness and strength. On
the contrary, nation can only become
great, he says, by having space in which
to expand. Great Britain is cited as an
example Of what expansion has done for
a nation that originally had little terri

The general prosperity the country has
enjoyed under Republican administration
during the last seven years has profiteG
the farmer as much il not more than any

and should and undoubtedly will vote to
continue conditions as they are and have
been.

A Pretty Good Fire Story-Tobacco
Travels Several Miles Through the Air.
One of the strangest stories of the fire, which,
if closely Investigated, might solve the ques-
ton of aerial navigation, is told by Fayette
street cigarmaker, who heard 1t from farmer
living on the Belair road, several miles from
the city, says the Baltimore Herald.
ION Tuesday of last week" said the tobac.
conist, "a man came into my store and asked
me if l wanted to purchase 100 pounds OF
slightly damaged Sumatra tobacco. Thinking
that he had q lot of home-raised product
which he was trying to work OFF on me,
asked him if he was sure that il was genuine
Sumatra.
I'm response he produced sample and, sure
enough, it was the short. thin leaf which we
use for wrappers. asked him where he got 1t
and he said that on the Sunday afternoon OF
the fire he and his men were out on his farm
of 600 acres wetting down the buildings and
putting out the big sparks which the high wind
was carrying from the city.
''At Z O'Clock the sound Of explosions could
be heard in the city. and short time later,
what seemed to be flying pigeons, with head
lights on behind, dropped on the road and
about the farm. On examination these were
found to be thin leaves of tobacco, which the
farmer and his help Immediately began to
gather. with the result that the entire amount
picked up weighed $50 pounds" :,
The cigar man who told the story has all
that be can do making cigars without manu-
featuring fabrications, and declares there is no
doubt as to the truth of the incident.

Improvement Association President
Gets Threatening Letter.-The Baltimore
Sun of Tuesday said: There are two John =.
Biddisons who live in the vicinity of Garden
vile and Raspeburg. One is State Senator
Biddison and the other is d relative of his. As
a result a letter, which it is thought was inten-
ded for the Senator, was delivered to the other
John 8. Biddson. The letter is signed Mr.. Bull
let's and makes threats against Mr.. Biddison
for his efforts to ferret out the murderer OF
John Beckman of ]. on January 18th in the
vicinity of Hamilton avenue. Mr.. Biddison,
according to the writer, is a meddler, and he
had better look out, as it is indended to put
him out of the way The letter. it is said. is
in the hands of Detective Hagan, of Balti-
more. Chief of Police Street,. who was at
Towson yesterday, says it is thought that the
writer of the letter is the same man who sent
three other threatening letters to persons in the
same eighborhood recently. One of these
was written in German and the other In Eng.
lish. The receipt of these letters has caused
some apprehension at Gardenville and VI
cinity."
There are not two John s. Biddsons in the
vicinity of Gardenville and Raspeburg. The
man who received the threatening letter IS N +.
William j. Biddison, president of the Belair
Road Improvement Association, the members
of which have offered a reward of $500 for the
apprehension of the murderer. Mr.. Biddison
has been active in his efforts to bring the per
petrator of the crime to justice and he says he
is still earnestly engaged in the work and can
not be frightened off by threats.
