Washington Letter.

Here is some more evidence of
how protection" does not
protect the workingman.
The following is an extract
from the appeal sent by the 49,
600 men, women and children
striking textile workers at Law
renee, Mass, to VIM. NJ. Wood,
president of the Wooden trust;
owe are of the opinion that
you have had ample time to
consider the demands of the men,
women and children who have
made the American Wooden com
pany what it is today. In view
of the fact that machinery has
been improved, the workers turn
off more and more work, but they
are not paid accordingly, even
thoogh t1e price of food, clothing
and shelter has in many cases
increased so and even 100 per
cent within the last few years.
1--WE, the committee, are will
ing to meet the officials of the
company at any time and submit
the grievances of the strikers.
So If you believe in a square deal
you will not refuse to meet with
us, but will come forward at once
and try to bring the trouble to a
final conclusion. You must bear
up under the burdens laid upon
their shoulders. The American
Wooden company has within the
last few years built several mills
which are paid for, according to
your own figures, and the com
pany has even in the worst Of
times managed to pay dividends.
"The workers are of the opin-
ION that the only competition left
Is the struggle among themselv-
es for a miserable job at So, 81
or IS a week"
This is how Schedule K pro
tects" the workingman, solely
for whose benefit the Payne-Al-
drich bill according to Payne
and Aldrich) was passed!
Since the protectionists admit
that Schedule X, which places a
heavy tax on every article of
wooden clothing sold in the Uni
ted States was designed "sole-
ly' to benefit the workingmen
in the wooden industry and since
the Sc, 81 and IS wages paid by
the wooden trust demonstrates be-
yond successful contradiction
that Schedule X does not protect
the workers, why should the A
merioan people longer tolerate

Railroad Wrecks

The tragic deaths of former
president j. 7, Harahan, of the
Illinois Central, and three other
high railroad officials, at Kin
mundy, H., again Illustrates the
regard American railroads
have for human lives, compared
to other nations. The number of
passengers killed in this country
in 1908 was 301; in 1909 the nun
Der was 253, and in 1910 the mum
Der rose to 421. These figures are
for passengers alone, and do not

wants the tariff tax increased
it bases its plea on the argument
that American manufacturers
cannot compete with the cheap
labor Of Europe"
In eleven months of last scar
the exports of iron and steel pro-
ducts, together with agricultural
implements and freight and pas
eenger cars, amounted to nearly
P21O,OOO ,0O0-an increase of a.
bout $54,0O0,000 over the cores
ponding period Of 1910.
These materials are exported
from this country to all parts of
the world, in the face of the com
petition Of England, Belgium,
and France. The steel trusts for
elgn competition had the advan-
cage of that cheap labor" which
the trusts pretend to fear 80
greatly whenever a proposal is
made to lower the tariff. Yet the
trusts trade in foreign markets
is constantly on the increase.
How much longer will American
consumers allow themselves to be
fooled by the trust 'logic?"

my hands would have been tied.
The Insurgent Republicans acted
just as I did, 20 years ago. They
stayed out of the caucus. And they
were acclaimed as heroes. For doing

All of my old country counties

Dear Sir: Please answer this
Question through The JeffersOnian.
Did you, or did you not, run against
a Democratic nominee in 1890 when
you ran against Major Barnes
AS l understand it, in the latter part
Of the eighties there was a conyen-
ton at Ocala, Fla, that passed GER
tain resolutions that were known as
the "Ocala Platform" At this time
the Alliance was strong in Georgia
and they approved the principles of
this platform. You espousad the
cause of the Alliance The Demo
Gratis met in convention and nomina-
ted Major Barnes. The Alliance met
In Convention and nominated you.
Am | right or wrong?
Yours truly,
J. w. JONES.
Whaley, Ga.
Answer:
In 1889, the Farmers Alliance
held a National Convention in Ocala,
Florida. They adopted a platform
which was afterwards endorsed by
organized Democracy, with the ex-
ception of what was known as the
Sub-Treasury. I do not mean to
say that organized Democracy en-
dorsed the Ocala Platform, by name.
What | mean is that the Democrats
in their Congressional and State
Conventions adopted principles that
were Identical with those of the
Farmers Al1iance-excepting gov
eminent loans to farmers.
Irish farmers virtually borrow from
the British Government the money
to buy land. The French farmers
borrow from the Government on
their products. In Germany, a sys-
tenn of banks lend to the farmers, on
our old Sub-Treasury plan. In Nor
way and Sweden, the Government
has established land-loan banks. In
the Philippine Islands, our Govern
ment has adopted the policy of gov
eminent loans to farmers.
But our party-hack politicians,
and our grass-g grown editors did not
understand such matters; and there
fore our Sub-Treasury plan was
howled down. Congress refused to
give us one day to debate it.
But coming to the point:
I ran for Congress on the Ocala
Platform, against Maj. Geo. T.
Barnes, who stood on the regular
National Democratic platform.
Every country county went for me.
Out of the IL, I carried 10.
Next year I saw that there would
come parting Of the ways between
Alliance Democrats, and the other
sort. I went all over the district, in
a Referendum campaign, explaining
the situation, asking for instruc-
tions.
eff the time comes when I must
give up your principles, or leave the
Democratic party, what do you
want me to do?"
That, in substance, was my ques-
tion. 1t was put to rousing mass
meetings, in every county, except
Richmond. If you could have seen
and heard the unanimous vote at
those monster Referendum meetings.

Oldest Metal.

A recent paper presented to the
Royal Institution at London, in dis
cussing the question Of the metals
used by the great nations of antiquity,
pointed out that gold was probably
the first metal known to man because
1t Is generally found native. The old
est metallic objects to which We can
assign probable date are thought to
be those found in a royal tomb at
Nagada In Egypt supposed to have
been that Of King Menes. In one Of
the chambers were some bits of gold
and bead, a button, and fine wire
Of nearly pure copper. If the tomb
has been properly identified, these OBJ
!ects are at least $500 years old. Near
ly all the ancient gold that has been
examined contains silver enough to
give 1t light color. 1t was gathered
by the ancients in the bed OF the
Pactolus and other streams Of Asia
, Minor.-Harper's Weekly.

Soberness Of Costume Not Marked

John Hancock, thin in person, six
feet In stature, was very fond of orna-
mental dress. He wore q wig when
abroad, and cap when at home. A
man who visited Hancpck one day at
noon. in June. 1882, describes him as
dressed In red velvet cap lined with
fine white linen, which was turned up
two or three inches over the lower
edge of the velvet; a blue damask
gown lined with silk; a white silk
stock; a white satin embroidered
waistcoat, black satin small clothes,
white silk stockings and red morocco
slippers.
Washington, at his reception In Phil
adelphia, was dressed in black velvet;
his hair was powdered and gathered
behind in large silk bag. His hands
were incased in yellow gloves; he
held cooked hat with a cockade on
it and its edges adorned with black
feather. He wore knee and shoe
buckles, and at his left hip appeared
a long sword in polished white leath-
er scabbard. with a polished steel hilt,
John Adams, on the day or his

Dana OF Massachusetts used to wear

faced with black velvet in winter, and
