FARMERS BOOST
 IRON BUSINESS Prosperity on the Farm Shown By Buying Products IMPROVEMENT IS GRADUAL Few Import Sales of Pig Iron Are Noted, but There Is Strong
 Undertone for Foundry
 Grades in West.
IMPROVEMENT IS GRADUAL

Cleveland O., July 22.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The prosperity of the farmer continues to be strongly reflected in the improve ment of the iron business, which is shown not only in such products as wire which go directly to the farm, but also in bars used by implement manufacturers and in the increased activity of railroad shops which are preparing cars to move heavy crops. The improvement is very slow but nevertheless real, and considering that it comes in midsummer, when there IS almost always a considerable dimunition in demand for iron and steel products, and decreased activity of mills, is very encouraging The signing of the wage scale of the Amalgamated association by a number of important manufacturing concerns has removed the cause of some anxiety and furnished further reason for believing that there will be few, if any, serious wage controversies this summer. The strike of the miners in the south is causing some trouble, but has not re- suited in the banking of any furnaces.
 While there are few noteworthy sales of pig iron there is strong undertQne in the market for foundry grades in the central west, and prices are, for the most part, being well maintained. Some sales of basic have been recently made in the east and a transaction involving 10000 tons of Bessemer in the Pittsburg district, pri- vately negotiated some time ago, is now announced but steel-making iron is ex- tremely dull and there prices are not named.
 In the south a number of interests are asking to sell on a basis of S11 50 Bir- mingham for No. 2 foundry, but some companies are still holding for SIP. The leading pump interest has completed it's pig iron purchases to she limit of its re- quirements.
 The Maryland Steel company has re- ceived an order for II 900 tons of stand- ard rails for the Mexican Central rail- road. The demand for light rails has improved in nearly all parts of the coun- try. In structural material a considerable number of orders of fair size have been placed, but business is still far below that of last year.

consider most carefully and thought fully the attitude of the two great po- litical parties toward the fundamental rights and principles embodied in la bor's demands.
 "On the other hand, we have a re- publican congress absolutely refusing to enact the demand of the workers for right and equitable legislation, and boasting that it is willing to take the consequences. Following this action of congress, we have the convention of tine republican party scorning labor's de- mands.
 "The republican party definitely lines up with the corporate interests in the country and defies the people to help themselves. On the other hand, tn democratic party indorses labor's de- mands and pledges itself to carry them into effect if it is put into power"

Sting in His Words.

In granting labor the right to use it's judgment politically, Gompers lets drop the shadow of a sting for those whose judgment is contrary to that submitted by him. He says: There is no effort being made by 'Gompers to deliver the labor vote to the democratic party While we do not wish in any way to interfere with each mans right to choose his own political affiliations, yet we say frankly that the worker who, in this campaign, supports the party or the candidate who has contemptuously and boastfully announced hostility to labor in this-well, he will have to reckon with his own conscience and with the fellow work mah"
 In big type the tocsin is sounded in these words: "In accordance with the action of labor's protest conference held last March, we now call upon the work . CTS of our common country to stand faithfully by our friends, oppose and defeat our enemies, whoever they be, candidates for president, for congress. or other offices, whether executive, leg- islative or judicial.'" w. $.

Flies.

Flies, seemingly, are more numerou;
in our city this summer than usual
Since the abundant rains in June, they
have appeared in multiplied millions.
Certain conditions are requisite to the
birth of the fly These are filth, heal
and moisture. The fly reyels in dirt anc
has no respect for any other creature
Not only is he unsanitary, but be
brings into our homes germs of disease
and deposits them in our food to be
taken into the stomach, laying the
foundation for serious illness.
Who and what are responsible for the
swarms at this pest of the summer?
Manure piles in stables, alleys and
other localities are the most fertile place
for the production of the fly.
What is the remedy? An ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of
cure.
Clean the stables and alleys and re-
move every accumulation where the
dangerous torment is likely to deyelope.
The fly is foe of mankind. He is
dirty, arrogant, impudent and a menace
to health and life. Wage war against
him. Kill him! and, so far as may be,
stop the growth Of his family.
