Interesting to Labor Unions

increasing 70 LABOR ONgONS
The u. S. Statistical Abstract for 1908 is
just out. Among various other valuable re-
ports, it gives the gross value of manufactures
and the gross wages paid.
According to the high tariff advocates, they
want foreign competitors kept out, in order
that they may have fair chance to pay Amer
lean labor big wages.
Uncle Sans official report on manufactures
ought to show that as the tariff is increased
and the value of the manufactured products
boosted, labor's share grows larger, also.
Sad to relate, the Statistical Abstract does
not prove that to be the fact.
Under the low tariff of the Forties, and up
to 1850, Labor got one-f0uath of the vazue of
the product That is, the capitalists engaged
one.
In 1860, the tariff was higher, and wages
bore smaller proportion to the value of the
product. The manufacturers got 81, 1885,, 861,-
90, While the wages paid was $378, 878,966
This was about one-ffth.
In 1870, the Morrill, act had largely in
creased the tariff rates, and the capitalistsAgot
81, 232, 1926, 442 for the finished products. The
work-people who turned out the goods were
paid SITE, 584 343. This was much less than
one-ffth.
In 1880, under about the same law, the pro-
portion varied but little
In 1890, the Mckinley bill, ''the culmina-
ting atrocty of class legislation" was in oper-
alton, and the capitalists pocketed $9372, 0OO,-
900 for the finished products. The amount of
wages paid was 1881 100000, a trife more
than one-ffth. But while the laborers an
peared to have lost nothing in their pro rata
share, they had in fact lost much of it, BIZ q,ea-

thus the wage-earner's share dropped to
nearly one-sixth, out of which he had to paw
at least twenty per cent. more for his supplies
In 1905, under the same high tariff, the
manufacturers got nearly fifteen billion dol
lars for their stuff, while Labor was paid a
little more than two and one-half billions.
1t costs Labor at least twice as much to live
now, as it did in 1850, or in 1860. Yet Labor's
share of the manufactured products has de-
creased nearly 50 per cent, -although the
tariff has been climbing skyward, at each
change in the law.
1t is certainly an astonishing thing that the
capitalists can deceive one generation of
American laborers after another bv tellino

Seattle, Wash.-In recognition OF
the bravery of John Patterson. a
driver who risked his life to save his
horses which had been precipltated
into the bay by the collapse of Tres
tie at Elliott avenue and stone street.
the King county humane society has
decided to present to Patterson q gold
medal, specially designed by the So
ciety to reward extraordinary acts OF
kindness to or bravery in behalf or
dumb animals. At a meeting or the
society the members decided that Pat
terson, by placing his own life in jeop
ardy to save his horses, had won the
medal, which will be the first to be
awarded by the King county society.
Patterson, when he was informed
that the humane society had deter
mined to present him with a medal
for bravery, said that he had done
nothing more than any other man
would have done under the same cir
cumstances, and said that he would
much rather see the money expended
in the purchase Of new suit OF
clothes or a dress and shoes for some
poor child. He said that when he saw
his horses in the water, he thought
only of freeing them from their h2r-
ness that they might have chance
for their lives.

I never thought anything about it, for

but at first all thought of was to get
help. After | got clear ] saw that the
horses Guild not last long If left

started in to cut them clear Of the
harness. AS far as the medal is con-
cerned there is a man who helped me
get the team loose that deserves a re.

down in the water and worked like a
slave helping me get the team free and
he had no interest i'm the horses at

There was one funny thing that
happened when the team was down in

get him free he was as quiet and
gentle as a lamb. He seemed to know
that was trying to give him a chance
for his life. and when | got him clear
of the harness he followed me like a
dog, right up on shore.

be unable to get old Buck, one OF the

during the prayer: o, Lord, be thou

occasionally introduced a Latin SEN

proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con;
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies n quar-

PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough to recognize the
symptoms of poor paint, after it has
been on awhile-after its inherent
tendency to crack and peel and scale
and blister, ETC., has developed into
trouble. You know these paint dis
eases" usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy is re-
painting.
A little knowledge Of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
made sure OF the purity and quality
of materials, would prevent all trou-
BILE, and save the big extra expense of
re-painting; just as n proper knowl-

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed TO require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now common thing for fam
lily physician to order less meat, as in
the following letter from a n. Y. man.
II had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. tried several
things TO take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes. etc,
but got no relief until l tried Grape.
Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
am now a well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth OF medicine | had taken
before.
my wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are very happy family, largely due to
Grape-Nuts.
I'VE have been so much benefited
by GrapeNuts that II would be un-
grateful not to acknowledge it."
