Strikes Fewer In 1905.

The twenty-frst annual report of the
bureau of labor of the department of
commerce and labor shows that Ameri-
can industries suffered from fewer
strikes during 1905 than in any year
since 1892, the criterion being the num-
Der of employees thrown out of work
and the duration Of strikes. There
were 221,6 employees thrown out Of
work during that year in connection
with 2,077 strikes, lasting the average
of twenty-three days each. The re-
port finds that out of the total number
Of strikes in twenty-five years, from
1881 to 1905, SO per cent were ordered
by labor unions and that the greatest
number of strikes in any one industry
was in the building trades. Strikers
succeeded in winning their demands in
AZ per cent of the Adjustments con-
cerned and partly in Is per cent more.
Lockouts resulted in favor of the en-
pIoyers in over 81 per cent of the es-
Establishments. During the quarter CEN
fury period II per cent of all strikes
were undertaken for increased wages
alone or in combination with other
causes, % per cent for union recogni-
ton and 10 per cent to enforce de-
mand for reduction of hours. Since
1901 6 per cent of all strikes and II
per cent of all lockouts were settled by
joint agreement and per cent of both
by arbitration.

Second crop clover should be made il
possible for use in feeding and fatteningearlY
lambs. No matter if it is impossible to har-
vest large amounts of it's few loads fed and
reinforced by some oil, cake and bran, will
do the growing youngsters world Of good.
They will commence nibbling as such ra-
tion when real young. Its a milk maker
and it is safe to conclude that the heavy
milking ewes raise the thriftiest lambs, and
that such YOUNGSTERS are always ready Cor
market before the less fortunate ones. A
weeks growth makes great difference in
prices paid by buyers. For instance, sheep
raiser in Salem county received S24 for two
lambs marketed on January 3rd, while on
the 18th lambs of superior quality sold for
$40 each. This same man once raised a
couple of lambs that weighed 40 pounds
each at four weeks old and were disposed
of at Christmas time for S25. Surely such
transactions are inducements for increased
sheep raising.

A WORD TO KIND FRIENDS. The
only mitigation of the profound af-
Fiction that falls upon those who are
compelled to pass through the Val
ley of the Shadow of Death, in the
loss of some loved one of the family,
is that cordial and heartfelt sympa-
thy OF their friends, 1t indeed shows
the world akin, and serves to chasten
the souls of the living and make
them better and nobler men and wo-
men. 1t is with this feeling that the
relatives of Henry Miller Murphy,
one and all, extend their heartfelt
thanks to the many kind and thought
full friends who by word and act as
sisted at the last sad rites to the de-
parted. To the watchers at the bed
side, to the donors of the many beau
tiful flowers, to those whose clasp of
the hand and glistening tear-drops
showed sympathy the tongue could
notcxpress, to those who by letter and
wire sent their beautiful words of
consolation, we extend our gratitude.
May they all BIC the recipients of
God blessing for their kindness in
distress.

Dawn Of Immense Endeavors.

Representative Bartholdi, of Mis-
souri,, after u talk with President
Roosevelt, has announced the inten-
ton of introducing a bill, soon rs
Congress meets, apprOpriating $780,
DOC, 900 to enable the Inland Water
ways Commission, lately created by
executive act, to promote great
waterway improvements, on a scale
never before attempted in this coun-
try. He holds to the opinion that
future generations will be SO greatly
benefited by the wonderful impetus
that will be given to all branches of
business by development of latent
resources Incident to the opening of
this great terry of trade, thousands
of miles, from the great lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico, that like the aids to
commerce and safety ensured by the
Panama Canal, it will justify bond

part. The plans hitherto suggested,
have involved such 4 large cost,
that they have never met with much
consideration among conservative
statesmen.
Then the impetus given to labor,
during many years of construction,
will place the outlay in the best pos
sible channels for promoting the
general veal. Let this great pro-
ject 20 hand in hand with the grand
system of irrigation which has al
ready added so much to the wealth
Of our Western States, converting
arid districts into vast garden spots
of surprising loneliness and unprece-
dented profits. The present year
has changed many poor mans con-
ditiOn into affluent circumstances,
and paved the way for development
in the near future that will bring Joy
and happiness and prosperity to
thousands who haye hitherto seen
only the dark side of life.

GREAT Is PROCECTION.-Th Ore

that 20, 900 tons of steel rails, of good
quality, have lately been delivered at
Yokohama, Japan, for $50 per ton.
manufactured by the American Steel
Trust corporation, and that this trust
sells rails to public corporations in
this country. delivered at the factory
at $29 ton, which are of such quail

Cartoons have played an Important
part in American journalism during
the last decade, and the privilege has
been greatly abused by newspapers of
the yellow type. 1t would seem they
have had their day Ridicule is not
argument. The American people are
face to face with momentouS ques-
tiOns which cannot DO solved by such
cheap efforts, from which sensible
people turn wish disgust and demand
something of Il more substantial ma
ture for intellectual food. Much
scribbling that is going on just now,
in our local campaign, nearly rivals
the coarsest of cartoons, which injuries
its promoters a great deal more than
the parties attacked. Human nature
is SO constituted that men frequently
laugh at things at which their better
nature rcvolts when they come to re-
fleet.

Handwriting on the Wall.

Whatsoever man sowcth shall he
reap" The STANDARD does not pre-
tend to be prophet, but signs are
evidence that unless our nation acts
dccisivcly and enrrgeticaIly. in the
immediate future. on the Asiatic I'M
migration proposition, this country
will have on its hands an unemployed
labor problem which will wholly
eclipse the financial question. Wages
and prices of commodities. seem to
have reached their highest limit.
The trouble commenced when there
more Jobs than laborcrs: but what
can we expect when the reverse of
of the proposition shall become true?
Compensation is Il universal law, in
physical. moral and political life.
Time and conditions are drawing
nigh when our country must take ac-
tion and effect speedy adjustments.
Able and considerable statesmen are
now more in demand than time serv-
ing political huckstcrs.
There is some pride in knowing
that this paper has been the past
quarter of century warning the peo-
pie against this peril which is now
assuming shape which demon
stratcs the truth of our premises
and the SOundncsS of the reasoning
on which they were founded. 1t
is, however, only writing of the in
cvitablc law of sequences, which is 50
plain to the fair, honest, conScicn-
tious. impartial observer, as to be
clearly read by him who runs.

MoNOMETALISM LARGELY TO BLAME.
The Government has decided to
issue $50. 900, 900 in Panama bonds
and 800, 900. 900 in One-year Treasury
certificates, to tide over the present
stringency in the money market. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
while the receipts of large amounts Of
gold from England apparently justi-
fies this, it is only a temporary aid !;
that sometime the gold will have to
be returned with interest, and we
must not therefore draw too much
encouragement from that source.
The horizon, therefore, does not bear
for us that rOSeatc hue that some of
our Optomistic neighbors appear to
see. 1t looks to us that present con-
ditiOns are to some degree attribut-
able to 4 reliance upon the gold
standard, SO easy to hoard, and an
abandonment of conditions that
placed large proportion of the cir
culating medium in the pockets of
people of small means. This has also
been largely the cause of corners in
the prices of almost every commodity
including the wage-rate, which is so
vigorously contested by the attempt
ed introduction of alien cheap labor,
1t seems that the results predicted
in 1896 have borne ample evidence of
the sincerity of those who made them
and complete vindication of their
soundneSS.

ANOTHER INDICATION OF GREATNESS

ANOTHER INDICATION OF GREATNESS
OF BRYAN William ]. Bryan has
come to the defense of President
Roosevelt, in the present financial
storm. In Il speech before the Jack
son Club, Democratic organization,
at Lafayette, Ind, this week, he de-
clarcd that the President could not
be held responsible for the present
stringency. He placed the blame on
Wall street. 1t has been persistcdly
trying to make him the scapegoat,
and has, probably, Overdone the
matter, to some extent, unintention-
ally. There is no excuse for the pco-
pie being so frightened, he said, that
their banks are inSOlvent as to bring
about risk of promoting that condi-
ton. The Republican leaders have
had control of the country for forty
seven years. They have become so
chained to Wall street, that when a
stock gambler fails, the whole bust
ness world trcmbleS. The man who
would draw his money from the banks
now, when he does not need it, is in
the same class the man who would
refuse to aid his country in time of
war. 1t is a time when patriotism is
needed, no matter what the cause
may be that has led to such general
distrust.
