MONEY FOR LABOR.
Nearly Half Billion Dollars More
for Wages.

1ht census OF l3UU showed tnht the
wages of all classes of labor In all the
manufacturing industries of the United
States was 1892, $780,. as against ST.
sol DOS, 321 in 1904 gain of $431, 1O5,-
$50.
The census reports of wages for labor
and salaries for clerks and officers en-
ployed in manufacturing industries for
the last three decades are as follows:
1900. $500. .s4o3,711.233 50. 800 sss. ST.
1890. 91,0ss,2oS 1891. 22s. 921
-loeO. ...-...-' .....-.... Ss'voo'Ho
sNo census taken
Had these census reports included the
period from 1894 to 1904 the compari-
son would be far more striking, for
thousands of worllingmen lost their jobs
shortly after the last Democratic admin
istratisn (1S93-1S9T went into power,
and there were very few workingmen of
those able to keep their jobs who did not
have to submit TO at least some reduction
in wages.
Those were the days when Democracy
piled trouble on to trouble, and seemed
to leave nothing undone that could be
done to bring impoverishment to the
American workingman.
The entire country was made sort OF
laboratory for original Democratic ex-
perfmentation in various explosive pro-
ducts and by-products. including especial
ly free trade, free silver, free riot and
free soup. 1t mattered not that dcsola-
ton was brought into thousands of
American homes. that the workingman
and his wife and little ones were pinched
for the necessities of life, so long as
Democracy was given the chance to ex-
pertinent with the idea of taking the
home market away from American indus
try and giving 1t to the foreigner. and
anita gonizing business interests by agita-
ton against the gold standard.
After William Mckinley was elected
President and the policies of protection
and Of sound money once again estnb-
lished, the phenomenal growth of the
United States in wealth and prosperity
attracted the wonder of all civilized ma
tons; and this growth has continued
with accelerating velocity up to the pres
ent time.
The census of 1900 recorded this great
upward movement when 1t was only
about half way to where it Is now. OF
course, an increase of nearly half a bill
ion dollars in workingmen's wages does
not concern the workingman alone by
any means. 1t concerns every business
man in the United States, every farmer,
and every woman and child dependent
on the labor of others for their support.
For instance, il the wages OF labor in
manufacturing industries had not in
creased in the millions the per capita
consumption of wheat could not have in
creased from 3.44 bushels in 1894 to 6.33
bushels in 1904, and the price of wheat
almost doubled. Prosperity is always
made up of an almost endless chain of
circumstances, and it is only by having
every link sound and strong that pros
perity for all can be preserved

4 S~cOundrel Who Wanted IA Dairy
School to Violate the Law.

A S~cOundrel Who Wanted IA Dairy
school to Violate the Law.
l was somewhat surprised a few
years ago when an agent for a COM
pound containing borax came to the
Wisconsin Dairy school and tried to
sell us some of his preservative to use
In milk and other dairy products in
which we were interested. says E. II.
harrington of the Wisconsin Dairy
school. | was surprised because of the
| nudacity the mar showed in attempt
Ing to induce such an institution as
this to buy and promote the use of a
compound which is prohibited by state
law.
presume all dairymen know that
there is a law in the state of Wisconsin
~forbidding the addition of any sub
stance to milk for the purpose of keep
ing it in a sweet condition until it
reaches the consumer. Such preserva-
tives are simply an attempt to cover up
the neglect and the K of cleanliness
which often cause mnk to sour when
1t is shipped to cities or q; - red to
creameries and cheese factories.
received somewhat the same shock
today as vas given Inc by this man
who tried to sell us a preventative for
our dairy school products several years
ago. The agent who visited us today
was promoting the sale Of a compound
which he claimed would increase the
weight of butter Is per cent. He stat
ed that to convince me of the great
value of his method and patent process
he would place butter in a churn. add
three-fourths of a pint of milk to every
pound of butter, then use Il small guam
tity of his patent substance and make
a product which he termed butter and
which he claimed was better favored
than the best creamery or dairy butter
made by any one l questioned him
somewhat about the composition of the
butter he would make in this way. and
he stated he did not know what it
would contain, but he did know that
the amount Of butter made would be
increased I 5 per cent and that the prod
uct would be far superior in quality to
that of the butter he started with.
Taking his statements as given.
which were that three-fourths of a pint
of milk is added to every pound of but
ter and that the butter is increased Is
per cent, we car readily see what hap
pens in his process Of making butter.
Three-fourths Of a pint Of milk will
contain at least one-half pint of water.
ana. according to his figures. he is thus
adding half a pound Of water to every
pound Of butter. This would be Il pay
ing investment if one could sell the
water for butter prices. but l reminded
the agent that legal butter in the Unit
ed States must not contain over 1G per
cent Of water. and the product he
makes will therefore not be legal but
ter.
This attempt to increase the weight
Of butter by mixing water with it is
an old one. but it crops out every once
In awhile under some new name. Par
ties who may be approached by such
an agent as this should look into the
matter thoroughly before investing in
q secret process the use of which the
agent claims to be able to teach any
one who is able to pay for it.

WORDS n RHYME,

Some ~icu1tt the Poets CannOi
Overcome.
In a we'll known musical comedy the
kingly poet OF IL mythical state makes
a frantic demand on his subjects for Il
rhyme with ~sarsaparilla. The question
calls to mind the surprisingly few
words there are in the comparatively
harsh English tongue. With its plethora
of ~conSonantS. for which there are no
rhyming equivalents. SarSaparilla. rs
a manufactured name. is hardly Il fair
example. but there are said to be only
three familiar words OF everyday
speech which loom up ferociously be-
fore the student Of metricnl poSsibiii-
ties. They are silver. month and car
pet. OF these silver alone remains alb
solutely unassailable. for %Swinburne
has in one of his poems a word of
Greek derivation which may be sa'd
at a pinch to rhyme with month. and
w. S. Gilbert of 'Pinafore'' and MI
kado" fame has In the Bah Rallads''
ingeniously conquered carpet as fol
lows:
One day that Turk he sickened sore.
Which threw him straight into a sharp

Dissolution of Northern Securities

statement emanating from a man said
to be one of the strongest holders of
Northern Securities stock in New York
was to the effect that the Northern Sc
curities company win be abandoned as
