They show what unionism does fot the working man and to what extent it contributes to the prosperity of the nation : \There are today nearly three milli( n trades unionists in the United States! \fhese through their unions, have in- creased.tbeir wages fully 75 cents per day. That would amount to $2,250, - coo per day. Counting that they worked but 250 days per year n:eans that they can buy $562,500,000 more per year. That vast sum—$5o0,0 00, 000—a year represents the difference between prosperity and a panic. De- inive the trades unionists of that pur- chasing power and the farmers' crops would rot in the fields. The railroads would not have the crops to cairy as fr2ight. They, therefore, could not declare dividends, and the- prices_ of their stocks would fall. The railroads would have to cease betterments in bridrs, rolling stock, etc., and conse- quently men would be lai4 off in loco- motive, car, bridge and other works, demands for rails, spikes, etc., would fall off, the purchasing power of , all the people would be curtailed. for while the five hundred millions of dollars repre sents that increase which the trades unionists have won for themselves, Cull) as much,11 not more, have been won by trades -unionists for non -unionists, who do not figure in the equation, and to whom the increases have come, not because of their own efforts, but in spite of them, as these non -unionists are a dead weight which unions must carry and reckon with in their efforts to secure a decent living. Take the United Mine Workers as an example. It constitutes about one -tenth of the trades unionists of the country. Yet its members will be able to spend $69,000,000 more in 1903 than they were able to do in 1896. This can be demonstrated to a mathematical co - - tainty.\ The gratifying results shown above have all been accomplished without in- terference in politics by labor unions, and today the relations existing between capital and labor are more hearty than ever before. The question arise., would such satisfactory results be pos- sible under socialistic rule? We think not. In the Cue of Mr. Folk Mr. Folk of Missouri occupies a somewhat unique position in politics, aside from the fact that he. has attrac- ted the attention of Col. Henry %Vatter- son as a possible successor to Mr. Bryan in democratic party leadership. He owes his fame entirely to the prose- cution of legislative boodlers in his state, but the magnitude of the enter- prise as it was developed thiough the exposures made and the vigor and suc- cess with which it has been carried on despite the intervention of powerful in- fluences to protect the guilty havegiven him great prominence and a large measure of public confidence. Natur- ally the politicians of all parties are dis- posed to make every possible use of the public 'sentiment created by this new apostle of official dishonesty. Mr. Folk affiliates with the demo- cratic party. So do the public servants whom he ii herding towards the peni- tentiary ; but these latter have lost their power of control in party affairs, and the detnocratic press throughout the state is not only favoring, but demand- ing the nomination of Folk for ,gover- nor, bn the other hand, the republi- can plaperh go so far as to advocate his nomination by the republicans if his own party shall refuse to recognize his services to the state. He would . be almost certain a election, under the circumstances, regardless of the party label attached to his candidacy. Doubt- less the republicans reason that unless he abandons his policy of of honest ad_ ministration nothing could contribute more directly to the disruption of the Missouri democracy than an extension of his power, while under no circum- stances could he give the state any worse government than it has had in the recent past. • There is an object lesson for public servants everywhere in the Missouri situation. The popularity (A Mr. Folk among all classes of citizens, excepting only the official boodlers and their agents, isconcluSive evidence that the sure and short path to honorable reco l ,- nition aid promotion lies along the line of fidelity and of intelligent regard f n- the public interests ; while the dis- tressing experience of the strongly en. trenched corruptionists of St. Louis an Missouri ought to convince any Air one in public position that no fortifica- tions which gang influence can con- struct ate strong enough to shield from public contempt and punishment those who exercise officials powers corruptly tor private gain, or who disregard their public duties in reckless allegiance to gang interest s. --Butte Inter 'Mountain. Strikers throughout the country gen- erally are returning to work, and busi- ness is once more getting down to a normal basis. An effort is being made to secure eight -hour shifts for the Butte police- men. The proposition is worthy of suppott, but every officer caught nap- ping on the street coiner, or otherwise neglecting his duty during the shorter shift, should be filed without ceremony. \.`Every man who participates in the lynching or the burning of a negro is a murderer pure and simple.\—Associate Justie David G. Brewer (lithe United States supreme court. Just as soon as lynchers are vigorously prosecuted upoithe above lines will lynzhing ep- isodes, with all their horrors, cease. presiding officer of the smoky city. Like Mayor Frinke, of Anaconda, he finds a city council is a mighty hard thing to control. Mullins and Frinke should organize a mutual sympathetic society. The per centage of Immigration to Canada\ is increasing much more rapid- ly than it is in the United states. The wonderful resources of our neighbor country are just beginning to become known. Were . the United States arid Canada under one government the re- sult would be the most powerful nation in the world's history. The person who suffers most from the heat these beautiful warm days is the one who seeks the shady places and devotes his time trying to keep cool. You may hear him everywhere complaining of the hot weather while the hard working man toils away in the heat of the sun's rays unmindful of the fact th . at . the thermometer registers 100 degrees in the shade. The athlete on the ball ground does better work on a hot day than on a cool one ; race horses make better time and lower recolds when the day is exceeding! warm. There is no suffering from heat in these cases ; they have no time to think of an)thing but what they a e actually engaged in, while thespe.tator at a ball game or a horse race may be sitting in the shade fretting and fuming because he is too hot. Hard work and perspiration will cure a host of evils and the hot weather complaint is- or e of them. Lewistown hotel Telephone 58 CHAS. E.
