Many Seek Charity.

A Blue Book of the British govern
ment shows that nearly 100000 per
sons were receiving relief on Jan. l,
which number has greatly increased
since that time. In London alone 49,
600 persons were securing relief-a
great number over the previous year.
Wages have deckned greatly.
The London Financial Times, high
authority, of Sept 10, says:
For the greater part of the year
we have been passing through very
acute phase of commercial depression,
and we have seen both imports and eX
ports decline at a rate that has been
anything but consoling. A review of
countries and colonies shows that
practically everywhere business is in
a very lethargic state. The board of
trade returns of the commerce of for
eign countries furnishes the necessary
figures showing the condition of bust
ness in those countries.
THE imports for home consumption
of Belgium for seven months show a
decline of nearly S25,000,000 Those
of Canada show a decline of % per
cent, or nearly S4O,OOO,0OO; France,
s25,000,000; Germany, $A5,000,0 900, and
so on with other countries. The domes-
tic exports from those nations also
show large declines. The greatest is

months shows a decline of over 19 per
cent, or nearly $13,000,000 France
shows a decline of nearly $35,000,000
or over per cent. Germany's decline
in exports is less, but reached total
of about $10,000000. Japan shows a
decline of IL per cent, or $12,000,000
and Switzerland a decline of 10 pei
cent, or over $10,00O,0O0, and so or
with other countries.
THE decline in the domestic eX
ports of the United States is very
much less than those from the United
! Kingdom, and the relative decline was
very much less than that of Switzer
land, Japan, Egypt, British Soutf
Africa. and some other countries The
average decline shown in imports O
all the countries was over II per cent
and in some exports over 8 per cent
| The later returns show even worse
figures. Generally speaking, therefore
we have abundant proof of the wide
spread nature of the present depres
sion in trade, and we need not alarm
ourselves that we are experiencing
any special chastisement in the hands
Of fate"
"The Thunderer's" Tale of Distress.
The London Times in recent issue
speaking about the condition of affairs
in Scotland, says:
"The present generation does no
recall such slackness in all industries
and, of course, in commerce which
depends upon the activity OF work
shops and factories.
"The outlook for the winter is the
worst that the younger men have ye
faced. One shipbuilding yard has not g
vessel on the docks, and another large
one is employing only a third of its
full complement of workmen. The
dominant fact is that there is no life
in shipbuilding, no prospect of any
revival, no orders in sight of any con
siderable magnitude. Therefore it is
feared that the winter will be very
hard one Cautious estimates put the
total number of men, including labor

ers, out of work in Glasgow at from
%, 900 to 10000. Yarrow's is the only
yard that is fully en-
ployed. The largest forge has reduced
its staff from 1000 to $500. The rail-
way shops have cut down their stafis
on account of economies. Fifty per
cent of the masons are out of work
and 25 per cent of the plumbers.
I'm the textile trade most of the fac
tories are on short time or keeping
down their output, so that women's
wages are in fact reduced from lS
shillings ($437 a week to 10 shil-
lings ($243). Half of the 1000 lockers
are unemployed. The provident So
cieties tell rather doleful tales. Life
policies are lapsing all around, in
short, work is scare and threatens to
become scarcer. Following the exam
pie set by the Glasgow Herald, the lord
provost has opened distress fund,
and liberal response in being made by
the citizens"
The New York Journal of Com
merce. in its issue for Sept. %. re-
viewing American and British foreign
trade, states:
Home Conditions Not So Bad.
"The falling off in American exports
in August amounted to only 1872 per
cent. while on the British side there
was a decrease of 1871 per cent Our
own export figures for the eight
months as compared with the eight
months ending with August, 1907, show
a decrease of less than 9 per cent. The
British figures for the corresponding
period show a decline of 10.5 per
cent"
From this it will seem that the sit
uation is much worse in the United
Kingdom and in some other countries
than it is in the United States. The
British board of trade returns for
August show the largest aggregate de-
crease in trade for any month of the
year. The imports fell over $50, 100000
in that month, and the exports about
$37, 100000 This enormous decline in
trade. the London Times says. "is of
much importance to the working
classes owing to the enormous number
of unemployed" A dispatch says:
with the trade declining in the
alarming manner shown by the above
figures the outlook for the workers
during the coming winter is very
gloomy. The most serious feature in
the point OF view of the workingman
is the falling off of exports of manu-
factured goods
The situation in Germany is much
the same, although not quite so bad as
in the United Kingdom. The Canadian
government, owing to the trade condi-
tions, has adopted regulations to pre-
vent immigrants from coming to that
country unless well supplied with
funds. At the recent session of the
Canadian Manufacturers association
in Winnipeg. the parliamentary com
mittee reported as follows:
"The one outstanding feature of the
year has been the pinch of hard times
which all of us have suffered in a
greater or less degree. The London
labor bureau of the association has
been closed as a result of the indus
trial and financial depression"

New York, Oct. 13.
That the recent financial panic from
which the United States is now re-
covering was not the result of local
conditions is indicated by the fact
that a severe business and industrial
depression for months has prevailed
throughout the world.
The United States has suffered less
than any other country.
In fact, the situation in this country
is not to be compared to that abroad.
Official reports recently received by
the department of commerce and labor
furnish an accurate index to the busi-
ness conditions of foreign countries.
These reports show that the imports
into the United Kingdom for home
consumption and the exports of do
mestic manufacture have declined
greatly. The situation there grows
worse.
In August the decline in exports was
1877 per cent The decline in re-
exports, that is goods imported from
other countries for sale to foreign
purchasers, was $67,532,4 for eight
months this year. or over 90 per cent.
The falling off in net imports was
$137079,572 for the same time. The
decline in exports of domestic manu-
facture in that country was $146,OO0,-
600, or 1916 per cent. in eight months,
about per cent greater than the de-
cline in the United States in the same
time.

A TALK WITH LABOR.

Just now the laboring classes are a very much loved people, by the poll ticians. It is always thus, just before election; but how after elsction2 This is the question that interests tho intel. ligent lavor voter. We may easily de- termine who are our friends and ene- mics by reading up the history fo the last four years. It speaks more satis- factorily than the professions of the vote hunter. Let us see what this his tory reveals.
 l.. Who was 1t that denounced the labor leaders as undesirable citi- zens''?
 President Roosevelt.
 1. Who originated the idea of 'gov- ernment by injunction?
 Judge Taft, republican candidate for president.
 8. Who was 1t that scourged, impris- oned and drove from their families, their homes and out of their state at the point of the bayonet, tho union miners of Colorado7
 It was republican Governor Peabody and his co-conspirators.
 This was tho worst casa of tyrany and anarchy that has ever occurred Gin time of peace) in the United States. Yet, when appeal was made to Presi- dent Roosevelt for protection by the miners, he and his right bower, Taft, were as silent as the grave. They could not see any anarchy in all that outrageous violation of law. The con stitutional provision "That no person should be deprived of property or lib srty without due process of law" was of no avail. President Roosevelt and Judge Taft would not furnish any relief to those outraged miners.

 Can you afford to cast vote of sym pathy, of confidence and thanks, to your enemies by voting the local republican ticket7

OLD JOHN 1. W|S|NG UP IN LATTER
 YEARS
IS ON THE WATER WAGON AND INDUsrRIoUsLY sAvEs HIS
 MONEY
Veteran Pugifist Seems to Be Absorbing Sense With Advancing Years-Uncle John Just Passing Half Century Mark Turns Over New eLaf.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 3l.-Ffty years there was born in Boston boy who was destined to become the pugilistic cham pion and who was to hold the sceptre of king over the sporting world for a longer period than any other American before or since his time. He was given the name of John Lawrence Sullivan, and as "John L" the name became fa- miliar in all parts of the world.
 Sullivan s old-time friends in Boston are expecting him here at an early date and when he comes they have arranged to hold monster public reception and testimonial in honor of his fftieth birth day. Sull:van's rturns to Boston have always been welcomed by cheering crowds. And his receptions have been almost as enthusiastic in recent years as when he was undisputed holder of the worlds championship.
 When the ex-champion returned home last winter after an absence of several months on the road it was noticed that a great change had come over him. In many respects he was the same "John L." as of old, glad to shake hands with his old friends and willing to give his opinion at great length and with or. atorical flourish, upon any subject what soever. But before he was many hours in town it was noticed that he was not the spendthrift Sullivan of old. Infact,
  it was whispered about town that John was becoming somewhat linear in his old age.
 The fact is that Sullivan, after squan. dering his fortune, has become most fortune after fortune, has become strongly imbued with the spirit of New England thrift. Ever since he parted friendship with "John Barleycorn" Sullivan has been making money and some say that he has been making 8 great deal of it. Some estimate his present fortune as well along in five figures. However this may be it ap- pears unlikely that he will be in need of any of the c old.time benefits if he continues to follow his present course.
 Sullivan's career, so far as money making enters into it, has been a mar vicious one. There are few men who have had more opportunities to accum- ulate fortune. All kinds of estimates have been made of his winnings while in the fighting game, and the most con servative of these agree that from the time he met Joe Goss in 1880 until he lost the championship to Corbett he had received and spent not less than a million dollars. His earnings ranged
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-11-01

from $25,00o purse to sl00 or sl,0o0 for the simple use of his name, either for advertising purposes or to boom some theatrical combination. One tour of the country netted him $l0G,000 in a few month s time.
 All of his enormous winnings of those days was recklessly squandered and only few years ago Sullivan returned to Boston with hardly enough money in his pocke. to pay for a week lodging. But with him wisdom appears to have come with age an now, though his earn ing capacity is much less that when he was in his prime, it is safe to say that he is far better of financially at the end of each year.
