4. PALPABLE HIT.

In an editorial entitled, Wages
Delusion," the Louisville Courier
journal makes an interesting answer
to Republican newspaper that
claimed that the cotton mill operat-
ors in North Germany get only
S19l.O4 a year, while in America
they get $304.57.
The Courier-Journal says: "It
looks a little queer to see arguments
for protection made on the ground
that It gives our laborers S304.57 a
year. There are 313 working days
in year, barring holidays with
pay, so that the wage is less than
dollar a day, Now a farm laborer
at $40 month and board gets $24O
in money and the board would, even
al a low rate, bring the total up as
high as that OF the cotton mill OPP
orator. It Is we'll known that the
farm laborer has no protection, and
, it is hard to see how the cotton mill
operator gets any benefit from 1t.
Laborers in many unprotected en-
ployments get more than dollar a
day. Moreover, the owners OF cotton
mills import laborers free from for
eign countries. II the protective tar
if makes prices of commodities high
and we know 1t does-why is there
not a tariff on imported labor? That
is the logic of protection to labor by
a tariff, il 1t is to be done at all,
but the fact OF 1t is that 1t is not
intended to make labor high. The
men who make this alignment in or
der to get labor Support are the same
men who import foreign labor to
keep down the prices they must pay
to laborers at home. They are the
men who sell to customers in Amer
lea steel rails for $2S ton, and sell
them abroad at $40 or $22, making
A big profit on an article which con-
fessedly costs about SIS. The ar
gument that protection makes high
wages is a ridiculous fallacy. They
rayc always been higher in America
al n in Europe. But in Europe the
highest wages are paid in free-trade
England, and the countries where
they are lowest have the most rigid
system of protection. "--Bryan's
C9mroner.

dealers OF the Panhandle
The Panhandle Is aware of the
fact that many OF the dealers IN this
locality have made but little attempt
to locate home seekers during the
present and last few excursions, be-
cause OF the dry weather, and the
lateness Of the season.
We know of others who are golnr

favored in the season as any por-
ton OF the globe, and have pushed
their business OF advertising the ad-

BEARING FRUIT.

It looks very much as though the
continued evangelistic work of the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms
and Mr.. Bryan's herculean efforts In
and out of season, by voice and pen,
between times, was bearing fruit ev-
en- in the Republican party, against
the high handed work of the railroad
stock gamblers, the trusts, and the
arrogance Of predatory wealth. Yes
terday's dispatches told the opinion
Of an old member of the interstate

the most wholesome things tEal
could happen, would be the putting

anything else to bring about better

A Writer Says They Can BE Scared

1t was the "big noise" method

that night they kept on coming. The
Western Union company was swamp

on philadelphia and Baltimore for
operators. All that night and the
following day the kilograms poured
in. It is estimated that there we're
no less than 10000 and the tolls
