Wage of the Anthmcltr Sllnrr.
The Bryuulte press has had very much
to nay about the meaner wages of the
anthracite coal miners now on n strike.
Of course they nre carelul never to men
Hon the fact that Anthracite coal is on
the free list and that therefore the coal
combine, known as the coal trust, does
not owe its existence to our protective
tariff Inwe any more than the three or
four hundred colossal trusts of Great
Britain, or hundreds of others in this
county, owe their existence to that
cause. It would appear that there is
another side to this wage question. The
men do not work nil the year, and the
practice of the Eryanlto press ie to con
ceal this fact and divide the yearly
wane by the number of working days in
the year, instead of bv the number of
days of actual work. Tnus a daily wr.ge j
B :ale of from G3 cents to SO cents a day
ii ilgured, and this truly starvation,
wicv, if it were true, is the Brvanite
aiswer to the fuil dinner-pail argument '
of the republiwns and is used as a proof
of the grinding oppression cf the trusts.
That the readers of U he Chkonicku
may see the other euie ot tliis picture,
we print the following letter, which up- !
peared n short time nco in the New
York Sun. The writer is a resident of
Scran ton, Pa., and ought to know what
lie is talking about :
Lust week's press dispatches con-'
' taiued an. account of one of Mr. Bryan's
characteristic speeches in which he was
quoted as referrinz to the condition of
the anthracite miner now engaged in
his customary decennial strike. In this
epetch Mr. Bryan drew a pitifu! pen
picture of of a human heini: toiling and
sweating like a beast of the field all day ,
long in the dark and gloomy bowels of
the earth for the meagre sum of 73 cents ,
per diem. What rot !
Hiving lived in the anthracite coal
regions for a period of twenty-einl t
years I consider that I am pnviltgsd to
say : What rot.
The interior of our mines is lighted t
with electricity. The miner of today j
docs not toil and sweat like a beast of i
the held. ,Un the contray it is not an
infrequent occurance for a miner desir
ous of taking a two or three-day outing
at some pleasure resort to go into the
mine at 6 o'clock in the morning and
before nnon cut sufficient coal to keep
his laborer or laborers in some cases a
miner emploves three laborers working
' I

tlia Qiivfii -.- Moru than u n m n ny
brother to the mule, who, in sis hours,
has worked three "shifts" for which
under no circumstance, or circum
stances is he permitted to earn a profit
of less than $2 50 for each and every
"shift." I use the word permitted be
cause it is an invariable rule, a custom
of the trade, in this coal region that if at
the end of the month the miner has
failed to average $2.50 per shift a suffici
ent "allowance" of powder, oil, and
yardage is given to him to makn that
average. If a miner works twenty-five
shifts a mouth his wages can in no event
be less than be less tlun 362 50. During
the month of August last 20 per cent, of
the miners in tiie Lackawanna region
cleared over $90.
Mr. Uryan has been sadly misinform
ed on this question. If his knowledge
of other qnstions is based on no better
information than this, his utterances
must be the variest sophistry.
Method in It.
"You voted for Bryan four years ago,
did yon?" said the passenger in the
skull cm p.
"I did,'"' replied the man in the flishy
waistcoat.
"And you Hiy you are going to vote
for him again?"
"That's right."
"Did you hear or read any of his
speeches in 1S0O?"
"Lots of them."
"Didn't ho make a lot of prophecies
absut what would happen if the coun
try went republican?"
"Ho did."
4,Did any of tliern come true?"
"None that I know of."
"Don't you think he's either a dema
gogue or a mighty small specimen of a
statesman?"
"I do."
"Then why in the name of nil that is
decent and consistent are you going to
vote for him again?"
"I'll tell you. You know that little
cqint'cyed Trighauimer who used to
live nest door to me?"
"Yes."
"Well, when McKinley was elected in
1890 little Trighammer was eo euro the
country was going to everlasting smash
that he told me his house and lot for
G00.
"That was a bargain, anyhow. You've
still got the property, haven't you?''
"No, I sold it afterward for $2,000
What hae nil that to do with your
voting for Bryan again?'-'
"I want to see him elected so I can
buy back that house and lot for 600.

Of the product of this well-known brewery the United States Health
Reports for June 23, 1900, says: "A more aupeiior brew never entered
the labratory of the Tinted States Health reports It is absolutely devoid
of the slightest trace of adulteration, but on the othor hand is composed of
the best of malt and choicest of hops. Its tonic qualities are of the. high
est and it can be used with the greatest benefit and satisfaction bv old and
young. Its use can conscientiously he presunhed by the physicians with
the cersainty that a better, purer or mure wholesome beverage could not
possibly be found."
