Al New Year tn Libby.

Great is the contrast between to-day
and the dawning of the New Year just
forty-three years ago for Major L. p.
Williams, one of the assistant clerks OF
the District Supreme Court. Major
Williams was a member of the I'D
Indiana Regiment, and January j, 1864,
he was a prisoner In Libby prison.
Speaking of his experience, Major Will
liams said to Star reporter:
''The long-drawn-out cry of ~
o'clock! Post No. 1-al's well" by a
prison guard aroused hundreds of the
prisoners, who were uneasily slumber-
ing on the floors of Libby on the night
Of December 81, 1863, and notified
them that the new year was in.
Quickly a general shout Of Happy
New Year, went up from that rest
less throng of more than thousand
unhappy men. Immediately some one
started singing The Star Spangled
Banner and voice after voice joined
in the strain, untii the soul-stirring
song was rising from every room of
that immense building, and fioated out
upon the midnight air in one grand
chorus of enthusiastic and patristic
voices in way that had not been
heard in the city of Richmond for
many months and years.

Impossible to Please Everybody.
A great many Republicans would ia

schedules II it did not mean a general
:resision- The country is In a very
prosperous condition, but 1t could not
stand the uncertainty of reconstruc-
ton OF the tariff without serious en-
lbarrassment. Those who are familiar
with the history OF tarifr legislation
know that each section wants protec-
stion upon the things 1t produces and
free entry for the things it buys. The
material he produces and no tariff
upon the finished product he buys. The
,nsnufacturer wants free trade on raw
,n>aterial and protective tariff to pro-
itect his finished product. The laborer
wants the high wages which protection
gives, but he would like to purchase
with those wages things at the free
ttrude price.
And so when 1t comes to making
tsriff schedules selfish interests are al
ways at work, and the result is always

Labor's Big Reward.

Jan. just passed ana the months
preceding saw the greatest advance In
wages ever known in this country. The
advance is the more remarkable be-
cause 1t was based on the highest rate
known in this or any other land A
10 per cent increase TO the wages of
the labOrer under the free trade tariff
OF 1886 would have meant u daily gain
Of from D to 10 cents. if he had gotten
it A 10 per cent increase under the
Dingley tariff In 1867 means a gain
OF ~ to 30 cents day, or from $50
20 $3.50 a year; the gain itself being
more than the entire wage of some for
eign competitors.
The Dingley tariff has brought most
wondrous changes to our industrial life.
Under il our foreign trade has doubled;
the value of our farm products has
doubled; the volume of employment
has changed from the idleness OF mill
ions to veritable labor famine in all
parts of the country. Our manufacture
ers are unable to supply the demands
OF our prosperous people, and we are
buying over $1,20O,OO0,O 900 worth of for
eign products.
Remarkable as are all these results,
they do not equal in Importance the in
creased rewards to labor.
The secretary of the Railroad Gen
eral Managers association says the
railroad employees will this year receive
over S1.00O,eaO,00O in wages, more than
double what the railroad employees of
1896 received Here is a gain of over
100 per cent in the past ten years
These are sO-called 'nOn-protected''
workers. and yet they are among the
greatest recipients of the reward of a
protective tariff
The condition of street and elevated
railroad employees is similar. The next
largest increase has been given TO the
metal workers. Bradstreets estimates
that the annual pay roll in the Pitts
burg district alone exceeds $3.50. OOO,-
900, an increase over two years ago of
$100,OOO,OOO.
The textile workers of New England
and elsewhere have had their share too
IA the increase of wages, the gain
amounting to many millions of dollars.
The express companies employees, coal
and iron and copper miners. boot and
shoe operators, and the laborerS in
thousands of mills and factories have
had an increase dr-ing the past year
The laborers of the United States
have been trebly benefited. first by con-
tinuous employment; second, by higher
wages; third, by shorter hours; and
we might add, fourth, by an increase of
interest rates In savings banks where
they have over $3,O0O,O0O,00O on de-
post at 4 per cent now, in most cases.
instead of and 3Ha per cent formerly.
And still the labor demand Is not equal
to the supply. and we are easily absorb
ing half a million new wage earners
annually from abroad, who, with their
families, add over million new con-
samers each year to increase the de-
mand for American agricultural and
manufactured products.
