Wages per

Any workman in any or the fore-
 going occupations knows whether his
 wages equal those in the table; and
 many who read it will know that they
 have never been able to secure the
 high rates. They will know, also, that they pay more today for nearly every article that they purchase than ever
 before. Few toilers, however. have kept account of the precise changes or of the yearly cost of the supplies re- ouired by their families.
 Dun's Review. a non-partisan jour nal devoted to practical economic dis cussion, has for years preserved ac- curate statistics concerning the cost of living per capita of population In the United States. The results of its investigations show that the average
 wholesale cost of the necessaries of l life for pear per individual was $7246 on July 1, 1897. and $9719, or | 341 per cent. higher. on July 1. 1904. Adding ten per cent. for the profits | of the jobbers and retailers Ca moder- | ate allowence) and multiplying the results by six, on the assumption that the average workmans family con tains six members, it follows that Tn | 1897 the average workman had to earn | $47S24, and in 1904 $641.45, to supply | his family with the mere necessaries | of existence.
 This is an increase of $1s3.21, tor
 more than one-third, and includes nc | allowance for rent, amusements., char | ity, luxuries of any character. or any thing but the barest necessaries oi | life.
 | It is easy to take these data, in con nection with the Labor Bureaus statis' | tics of wages, and to ascertain how many hours work 1t took to earn $4S7.- | 24 in 1s97( and how many hours are
 required now to earn $641.45,-the lat ter being the amount now necessary
 to buy the family supplies that $4s7.' | 24 bought in 1S97

WAGES vs. LIVING EXPENSES
Plain Facts for American Workmen to COnsfder-Labor's Purchasing Power Has Decreased.


 The following Is a document issued by the National Democratic Commit tee:
 The statistics of wages recently is- sued by the Bureau of Labor at Wash ington were evidently intended for use in Republican campaign documents, for they present the situation in the most favorable partisan light. Even If it Is admitted. for the sake of argument, that the nominal advances in wages which the Bureau estimates have ac- tually occurred, any study of the changes in the prices of the necessar- les of life which have taken place dur ing the same period will convince the investigator that the purchasing power of a given quantity of labor in any or dinary trade or employment Is now lower than for many years. The Bur eau quotes the following as the aver age earnings per hour, during 1903, of different classes of workmen:

In Moving Cotton.
 It looks as If the planters and buy CTS are trying to move all the cotton that they have on hand in one gigan- tic shipment, d feat that Is not only impossible but a bit embarra ssing to the railroads.
 The movement of cotton is some- thing enormous" said a local freight man yesterday, but so far I don't think that any of the roads out of Montgomery have experienced anything approaching car famine. On my road we have box cars sufficient to move the heaviest shipments ever known and do not anticipate the slightest trouble in regard to equip ment necessary to move the crop."

THAT FACE OF TEDDY'S.
Explanation of Why He Wears a
Habitual Smile.

A contemporary quotes lady OF the
official circles of Washington as say
ing she believes she has discovered
why the president wears smile habit
ually.
If you ever saw the president when
he was forced to Danish smile" says
this lady, "you would understand why
it is that he has acquired the habit of
wearing it on all possible occasions. ]
never saw him without it until the
other day at Mrs. Hoar's funeral, and
[ give you my word | don't want to see
him without it again. No one would
call his face handsome or attractive,
even when be looks his best and smiles
his genlalest. But when his face is IN
absolute repose and not only serious,
but solemn, well, it's enough to startle
a timid person. It's the most solemn
human countenance you ever saw. He
probably found that out long ago, and
that's why be wears the smile that
doesn't come off. He is entitled to
wear it,"
That is unquestionably a clever and
considerate way OF stating the fact
that the president would not win a
blue ribbon at beauty show.

RUSSIANS Can CRUSH JAPS
ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHEN The
UNPLEASANTNESS WILL CEASE.
When Russia Has Her Forces Ready They
Will March Upon the Japanese
and Force Them Back.

Although i've weeks have elapsed
since the Japanese first attacked Port
Arthur the war is considered hardly
to have begun.
Heavy land fighting, upon which the
fate of the campaign depends, is not
expected much before the end OF April.
BY this time Russia will have in the
field, exclusive of the large army OF
men required to guard che railroads,
four army corps, each with q cavalry
division and an artillery !brigade. Ali
that has happened so far, or is going
to happen until these forces are in the
field, is considered, according to the
Russian view, to be nothing more than
the prologue to the real drama.
The Russians are determined to de,
fend Port Arthur as heroically as they
did SebastOpol. No large garrison will
be retained thereto, 900 men are as
good as 100, 900 for defense, while the
more men the more mouths TO feed.
There are enough provisions now TO
last for eight months. In addition
there Will be a division of Cossacks,
with mountain batteries, on the PENN
sular to oppose landings and harrass
the enemy if they succeed in investing
the city.
Viceroy Alexieff retains his head
quarters at Mikdea, through which J,
900 or 1000 soldiers are passing daily
to the positions which the main
armies vi occupy.
The Russian pArs do not contem-
plate taking any chances on the score
of men and guns, if nothing else, when
the proper time arrives Russia counts
on overwhelming the Japanese and
rolling them back through Korea.

BACON's STRONG PROTEST.
Did Not Want Statue of Frederick
the Great Reared at Capitol.

During the last hours of the consid-
GRAFTON of the army appropriation bill
ia the senate MIR. Bacon of Georgia en-
tered protest against the acceptance
of the statue of Frederick the GreaG of
Germany, rendered by Emperor Will
liam, basing his opposition on the
ground that the former German king
was not in sympathy with American
institutions.
Mr.. Bacon, speaking of the statue of
Frederick, said: 81 do not believe that
the erection of a statue OF Frederick
the Great in this city is in accord with
the wishes of the people of the United
States" He was sure at any rate that
many felt that way, and he was one of
them. He said there is no single thing
connected with the history of Fred
erick that would make him an ideal
for the people of the United States ex-
cept his courage and devotion to his
people, which all must admire.
"These qualities" Senator Bacon
continued, "give Frederick high rank
in history, but there is nothing in his
character to stimulate the people OF
the United States in the perfection of
their institutions. 1t is inconsistent
with the traditions and the hopes Of
the people of the United States that
there should be ere oted here monu'
meut to the memory o. the man who
perhaps to a greater extent than any
man in modern times was the type Of

TO ROB BIRDS NESTS.
Georgians Request License OF
Commissioner Stevens.

Two Georgiaus have filed applica-
ton with Commissioner of Agriculture
Stevens for certificates giving them
the right to rob birds nests in the
state.
The disciples of Audubon may enter
an earnest protest to the granting OF
such privilege to the destroyers OF
song birds and birds of plumage and
the despoilers of their nests, but be 1t
known that this privilege is asked un-
der the very law passed al the last
session of the general assembly, which
was known as the Audubon law.
The law which was designed for the
protection of song and plumage birds
makes provision for the Killing OF
trapping of such birds and the rooolng
of their nests for sclentlhc purposes
ONLY, and it is for sclentlhc purposes
alone that the applicants for these GER
titicates assert that they Wish 10 pun
der che feathered tribe.
The law provides that where any
one wishes TO rob the nests OF such
birds or kill or trap Une pltus eh0In
selves they must make application 10
the commissioner of agriculture, anu
such application must be endorsed Dy
two well known scientific men OF Ihe
state. Then if the application Is
considered favorabIY, and 1t Is SHOWN
that science is the only OBJECT In Vle"'
the = applicant must pay fee of one
dollar for the certificate giving MIN
she right, and must also file bond OF
5000 with good suretles.
The Georgians who have Just asked
for certificates giving them the rlghI
to make war on the birds Tor the pur
nose of science are NJ. T. Kleckley of
Am0nsta and l. NJ. Arnold OF st.
Mary's, Camden county. Commission

of the conditions with which they Will
