GOOD WEATHER
FOR THE FARMERS
IT is HARVE STING TIME NOW
AND THEY DON'T WANT
ANY RAIN.

As If In recompense for the harsh
conditions which obtained few
months ago, this section is now be
ing granted weather that is truly
perfect. over all the county blue
skies are hanging, and the harvest
season, which Is now at hand, is one
the like of which is seldom seen.
More suitable weather for the haT
yesting cannot be imagIn0. The
crops have undergtle many re-
verses this year. but the gathering
season is endeavoring to make up
for that. Not since the 10th of &c
tober has a real cloudy day obtained
in this vicinity, and substantial
rains, such as would prove very in
furious at this time, had not fallen
for a month until Sunday
Dry weather Is what is needed
now, and the continued absence of
vTin that Is bong experienced is
rvoying great boon to the farmers.
II IS allowing them to gather In their
crops without trouble or loss. and =
resulting beneflcialIy to all agicul.
tural interests.
This has been one OF the coolest
autumns in the history OF the
weather bureau. Nearly every day
a deficiency in the average temper.
ature Is registered. and observers
are beginning TO believe that If the
condition prevails that records will
be smashed to pieces. Already this
month there is a deficiency OF %
degrees in the average temperature.
while the deficiency for the month
OF October was So degrees. almost
an average Of two degrees, per day.

No Division on the Inspec'
ton Amendment
MEASURE TO CONFERENCE
The President Now Finds 1t Entirely
Satisfactory--Steps Are to Be
Taken to Restore Public
Confidence.

Washington, June 2o.-The House Of
Representatives passed the meat inspcc-
tion bill yesterday afternoon with only
two OF three members dissenting, the
final form Of the bill being such shat
it will meet the approval of the Presi-
dent and probably the Senate.
This action was taken after debate
lasting forty minutes, IN which Chair
man Wadsworth Of the committee On
agriculture said that with two excep-
tons the alterations OF the bill from
its form as originally reported by the
committee were mere yerbiage. The
two exceptions we're the sections putt
ting the inspectorship under civil service
and eliminating the broad court review
Mr.. Wadsworth concluded:
y want to assure the House that this
bill viii insure to the public rigid
inspection law" He was loudly ap.
plauded at the conclusion Of his re-
marks.
Speeches were made BY Mr.. Lamb, Mr.
Williams and Mr.. Dermond against the
proposition to make the government pay
the entire cost OF inspection, which will
amount TO $4,000 900 a year.
The bill was then sent to conferences
There was some disagreement over the
selection Of the minority members 81

Apart from the desire to increase the

Between now and next fall 1t is ex-
pected that there will be fully 1000

TRADES UNIONS.
What They Have Done Toward I'M
liftinG the Workingman.

what Ihey Have Done Toward Up~
listing the Workingman.
LIT us look at few things that
have been done BY organized labor,a
writes Herbert N. Casson in the Elec.
trical Worker. VERY few people know
the half Of them. A hundred years ago
men, women and children toiled from
seventy eight to eighty-four hours d
week thirteen and fourteen hours
day. This was the average, but many
employers ground sixteen hours day
out of their jadcd wage slaves.
In 1900 every laboring man and me-
chanlc was at work at a. m. At 10
they had an hour for lunch, at an
hour for dinner and then on till dark.
As late as 1856 women and children
began work In some factories at 400
a. M, and in New England it was the
custom to light the lamps and work an
hour before dawn as well as an hour
after, thus stealing two hours day
from rest.
THE average laborer 100 years ago
had fewer comforts and less considera-
ton than horse or dog has today.
There was no society for the proven
tion OF cruelty to wage workers.
1.-THE laborer lived in house OF I'M
painted boards. He mad sand on the
floor instead Of carpet. and his dishes
were made Of pewter Instead of china.
If he had fresh meat once week he
thought himself lucky "A good share
of his wages was paid in rum and gin.
Then when he got drunk his employer
had him arrested.
Jefferson tells us that the topic Of
conversation at a large dinner party
given by President John Adams ives
the enormous price OF labor Presi-
dent Adams declared that he had hired
men ten years before for $50 year
and board. while now he was obliged TO
pay the enormous sum of $3.50 year
THE city OF Washington was built
by workers who got not more than 30
cents a day The diggers, choppers,
h0dcarriers, etc. got $40 ~ year and
worked, as all iaborers did, from sim
rise to sunset,
when this century began wages In
New York We're 30 cents day and In
Baltimore 80 ceats The average rate
all over the country was $65 a year,
with board and perhaps lodging.
'sAs late as 1895 the Baltimore weav
ers were working twelve hours day
for IS cents. AZ Great Falls. n. H., In
1874, the factory girls labored from 3
a. m. until Z p M, with only fifteen
minutes for breakfast and thirty min
utes for dinner What they earned we
do not know. but all they received was
SIPS to 50 week.
The success Of trades unions In rails
ing wages may be shown by the fol
lowing facts. In 1850 the average fac
tory wages were S24T year; in 1890
SAG. Wages in cotton factories In
1880 were n cents a day; in 1873
SLAB.
Therefore II 1t had not been TO.
trades unions workingmen might now
be working for 50 cents day and
business might be.as duh and sluggish
as 1t Is in Spain, where the laborer
buys new suit once In five years and
lives on rye bread and garlic"
