INCOME AND
EXPENSES
Under the Republican System Of Protection
The Few Benefit and the
Many Suffer.

Inc bureau oil LABOR is send
ing out some very interesting
matter relating TO the condition
of the working people. It's
bulletin No SO, devoted to
wages and the cost of living.
shows the average income of
workingmen's families of five
persons is about 1927; and
average expenditure about 1886,
and the average annual saving
about $50. This covers the
whole United States.
In bulletin No. Ga. the bureau
deals with the families of I'M
skilled workman. 1t deals with
10 families in the District OF
Columbia, and is a pathetic
story of "a desperate battle
against starvation, day in and
day out, year IN and year out.
1t shows that half the wages of
these people was paid for food,
and fourth for rent. leaving
only the one-fourth for all other
expenses. Not one cent for
amusement was found in the
budget of these 10 American
families, and the car fares paid
were only those necessary in
going TO and from work. Not
one OF those families took a
newspaper or magazine. When
they borrowed money they were
forced to pay from 100 TO 241
per cent interest. The bare
necessities of live were almost
out Of their reach, the comforts
OF life were wholly unattainable
They were badly houses, i'll fed
and iii clad. But they were ali
normal cases.
There are hundreds OF other
families in the City of Washing
ton, band the thousands upon
thousands of the Same kind in
the United States. They are
honest, frugal, hard working
people. They help to make
this country great, and their in
dustry is one of the foundations
of the nation. But they are
not protected" by tariffs.
They have no lot nor part in
that one-slded, d u Grated
prosperity of which the Re
pabllcan bosses preach so loud
ly and so inconsiderately.
These 10 poor families are
representative OF a class that
embraces Asprobably hire e
fourths OF the United States.
The trusts and combines have
forced upon the cost of living AZ
per cent, while wages have only
increased about 20 per cent.
And under the miserable Re-
publican system of protection to
trusts, which makes few favor
ties rich and the masses poor,
this class is growing in mum Der
day by day.
Bulletin No GA of the Bureau
of Labor is a sufficient answer
to all the arguments which Mr..
Cannon and others like him are
making for the continuance of
their misrule.-MaCon Times

Shipp was in the court room, but none of his deputies were present

an interesting conference yesterday with
tire Faculty Athletic Committee OF the
University Of Virginia. Dr.. yenablc went
over with the committee the recent reg.
.ulations which were drawn up and adopted
for the government OF athletics at the
University OF Vlrginn. and expressed his
unqualified approval of them.
President yenable stated that the reg
uiations for North Carolina would conform
to them In almost every respect. In one
or two minor details he suggested slight
changes, and II 1t Is thought necessary
that the two colleges have Identical laws.
Virginia may follow these suggestions and
revise tho laws to meet DIR. Venable's
wishes
1t Ia certain, however that Carolina
will have rules Just az stringent as those
OF Virginia, and when the two tcainR meet

But as long az tho red fox of America
p,irsues his present gait the fox hunt

1t would be best to say so frankly, hut
not cndeavor to slow up tho hounds IL
the killing of the fox is to be the test.
Any game sportsman who has followed
such a pack would never go.back to tho

tiotf of the thoroughbred against the half
breed, and class will always show out
when the test comes.
