.... jHeocI Iftver lacier. FBI DAY, OCTOBER 1( IS98. Labor and Machinery. It is an old cry and one that has fre quently been raised during the present ( enlnry of industrial development that Improved machinery lathe hostile com petitor of the workingman. With the introduction of each" new labor-saving device it was freely predicted that capi tal would be enriched, labor impover- ished. It was so with the cotton gin und the loom; with the locomotive and tne reaper; with the sewing machine and the typesetter. In each case the prophets were false prophets; not be cause they loved ljing, but for lack of knowledge. Their outlook was too nar row. They mis'ook the little circle which included tiieir own particular interests for the. broad area of the 'in dustrial world ut lurge. When the- weavers complained that ' the loom, by enabling one man to do the work of many, would throw a mul titude out of employment, they did not foresee that the reduced cost of the pro duct would multiply the demand for it so rapidly that the call for labor would . increase tenfold. . When Stephenson demonstrated that freight and passengers could be hauled by locomotives over irou rails, the stage driver, the 'ostler and the innkeeper ' grew riotous and declared the bread was being taken out of their mouths. Yet to-day in the United States alone tiie railroad gives employment to nearly a million men, and by the stimulus,, which its transportation facilities have given to Industry is the indirect cause f the employment of ten millions more, Elias Howe with his sewing machine in a public competition beat live of the ' swiftest sewing hands in a factory, and nt onoethe cry went up that the new device would trrow thousands of tailors out of employment. Instead of so doing it made a reduction in the cost of sewed g ods that the i-icreased demand called into existence an' army of workmen . and workwomen greater than ever ex isted in the days when sewing was done by hand. ' It seems like the repetition of a mere truism to state that the cheapening of manufactured products by the inven tion of improved machinery has brought fifty men into employment for every one that it has thrown out; but . there are some truisms which will bear . and which demand occasional reitera tion. We have noticed during the past few weeks that there is a tendency among the public speakers who are in structing the people in matters pertain ing to industrial economy to attribute the present depression, at least so far as it concerns the great army of the unem ployed, to the introduction of labor saviug machinery. ' Whatever local or temporary hard ship the introduction of improved ma chinery may work, its ultimate effect is to vastly enlarge the rleldsof, labor, continually opening new avenues of . employment, For one class of work that it supersedes it creates a dozen others. It may be said that indirectly the inventor is the greatest of all em ployee of labor. It . is to the joint co operation of invention, capital and labor in the past that we owe the exist ence of those vast Industries which have carried our country forward to its pres ent proud position In the world of man ufacture and commerce. - The interests of machinery and labor are so identical that it may be said without exaggeration that the vast im provement in the condition of the working clashes which has taken place in the past half century is directly due to the progress of mechanical inven tion. . Cheap food and clothing, im proved dwellings, cheap literature, the penny paper, workmen's trains, enab ling the laborer to live amid t he refresh ing surroundings of a suburban home, ate a few among the blessings which have resulted from the fostering of in vention and the introduction of im proved machinery. It is inevitable, as we have seen, that, in the readjustment of labor which follows the introduction f improved methods, some few indi viduals must occasionally suffer; but the' compensation for the temporary suffering of the few is found in the per manently bettered condition of the vast majority. Just now the country has fallen into the trough of that phenomenal wave of prosperity which passed over it from . 1886 to 1892. The cause of the present depression lies very deep; too deep to be touched by any mere legislative act. It is to be found in certain Immutable Jaws of supply and , demand which operate (as we are now finding out) ns resistkssly in the new world as they have done in ' the old. But whether the scarcity of employment be due to the scarcity of the demand for tjie product of labor of not, it may be written down once and forever that it is not now due, and never will be, to those triumphs of the inventor's me chanical skill, the record of which forms one of the proudest chapters in the history of the United States. Sci entific American. An unprecedented wave of prosperity is rolling high at Canton, Ohio, the home of McKinley. As high as 100,000 people visit McKinley In one day, and that means lirrsnevitv fnr tlio ,.i.i,0,,0 IM le"8 prcspemy tor tne ei.izensl of the place. The keepers of hotel?, suloons, restaurants, livery stables, stores, etc., are growing wealthy ad many of them will be able to retire witli their fortunes by the 4th of No vember. It is figured that each visitor spends at least $3 in the town fur meals, hack hire and refreshment. People go to see McKinley and, of course, the trip costs them something. If Mc Kinley went traveling around the country everybody could see and hear him for nothing, and that would do Canton no good. McKintey believes in protecting home industries, and by his staying at home, the people of his home, town are the most highly pro tected community, While the campaign lasts, in the Union. During the cam paign no less than 1,000,000 people will have visited Canton, and that means $3,000,000 ppent in the town. A very different state of affairs exists at Lin coln, Neb., the home of Bryan. While Bryan is traveling about and address ing the immense crowds that flock to see and hear him in different parts of the country, the storekeepers and oth ers of Lincoln are kicking because he does not stay at home and "patronize home industry" by drawing the crowds to Lincoln. . He is a very poor American, indeed, who does not believe that the masses on both sides of the present great polit ical fight are conscientiously advocat ing what they believe to be for the best interests of the whole people. Distribution of Silver. Hood River, Or., Oct. 13, 180G. Editor Glacier: In your issue of , two weeks ago I noticed a communication, signed "Gold Standard," in which the writer quotes the San Francisco Call and tries to prove that any one cm send to the treasury or sub-treasury any amount of lawful money (this means gold as Well, as paper money) above five hundred dollars and receive in exchange its equivalent in silver, express prepaid. I don't be lieve any silverite denies this, only this faf, that you could only get the silver "dollars" by depositing silver certifi cates or treasury notes with the treas urer, as the following, copied' from a circular issued by the treasury depart ment, November 1, 1894, entitled "Issue and Redemption of Currency," will prove: -i Standard silver dollars are Issued by the treasurer and assistant treasurers In redemp tion of silver certificates and treasury notes of 1890, and are sent by express, at the expense of the government, In sums or multiples of $500, for silver certificates or treusury notes of 181)0 deposited with the treasurer or any as sistant treasurer. - Upon the deposit of an equivalent sum In United States currency or national bank notes with the treasurer or any nsslstont treasurer or national bank depository, frac tional silver coin will be paid In.any amount by the treasurer or assistant treasurers In the cities, where their several offices are, or will be sent by express, In sums of S200 or more, at the expense of the government, or by regis tered mall, at the risk of the consignee, In packages of $50, registration free, from the most convenient treasury otttee, to the order of the depositor. . " I will deposit with the editor the cir cular for the benefit of those who wish to examine it. . ' I can hardly see how "Gold Stand ard" can call this free silver. Probably he understands the meaning of free silver like the Oreuonian does. , lam sure he will if he continues to read such papers as the San Francisco Call. And I might mention hero that the Call, up to the time of the republican convention, was a silver paper, but somehow or other in the shuffle got turned over, and probably got its type somewhat mixed, so that it don't know "where it's at." To further substantiate my argu ment, Mr. Editor, I wish you would copy the followiug part of a letter which appeared in the Examiner: At the time when the' administration was making preparations to Issue bonds to replen ish the gold reserve Eastern manufacturers tendered gold to the treasury in exchange for sliver dollars, but the treasury refused to make any such exchange of silver for gold. Subsequently the United States senate passed a resolution, which will be found on page 2.0 of the Coinage Laws of the United States, call ing upon the secretary of the treasury to ex plain why he did not payout silver dollars on demand In exchange for gold. To this reso lution the secretary of the treasury replied as follows: "Treasury Department, Office of the Secre tary, Washington, D. C, AiTgust 17, 1893. " In further response to the resolu tion, I have to say that recently gold coin has been presented to the office of this department and silver dollars asked in exchange therefor, and that the exchange was not made for the! reason that all the silver dollars in the treas-j ury at the time were required, under the pro- i visions or the law relating to t he currency, to be held In the treasury to cover outstanding sliver certificates and treasury notes Issued under the act of July 14, 1890. "At present the department would not and could not exchange silver dollars for gold coin, If requested to do so by holders of gold, for the same reason. But if the condition of the funds of the treasury were such as to af ford a margin of silver dollars In excess of silver certificates and treasury notes outstand ing, such change would be made. Respect fully yours, J. G. Carlislk, Secretary." " Free Silver. If your children are subject to croup, watch for tbe flist symptom of the ais ease hoarseness.

The steps for these dances do not change with every sea son, and fashionable men and women who were beaux and belles years ago can acquit themselves as elegantly in a private bull room today as when thev were fresh from the dancing classes of their youth. Every child nowadays except in families where religious scru ples preclude it, is sent to dancing school. The steps and movements of the standard dancers are taught, of course, but over and above and beyond them the effort is made to teacli the boy or girl ease, grace, self-possession, poise and savoir faire generally, in the matter of polite deportment on the oc casion when well-tired people come us near as they are ever allowed to do, in conventional gatherings, to making merry. Among the points which no ticeably distinguish the dancer used to associating with well-bred people from the ill-brtd dancer is, for one thing, the manner of "swinging partners." This is done, in aristocratic circles, by light ly clasping hands and turning thus, almost at arm's length. The embrac ing method of "swinging" and "turn ing" seen at cheap dancing parties is not tolerated in polite society. Again, atevery point there Is shown by the fashionable masculine dancer toward his partner a deference, a courtesy, a respect which Is quite another matter from the violent laying on of hands and the clumsy proprietorship, for the time being, displayed by tbe uncouth dancers among the uncultivated. The difference, in short, between fashion able dancing and unfashionable danc ing is both in the manner of dancing and in the dancers themselves. So fur as novelty is concerned, much more of it is displayed in unfashionable than in fashionable circles. From Sweeney's Heights. "Uncle Joe" In Skamania Pioneer.

Election omens are coming to light in various sections of (he country. The bird that built its nest with pieces of newspaper bearing the names of Mc Kinley and -Hoburt has turned up in New Jersey. In Kentucky, a hen laid an egg, on one side of which, in bas-relief, ap peared the letter "B," while on the other side was the figure, also in bas relief, of an American dollar, on which was plainly visible an eagle, sur mounted by the figures "10 to 1," the "1" beiig preceded by a dollar mark. A New York woman is exhibiting a dog that barks and wngs its tail when the nnmes of McKinley and tioburt are mentioned. When Bryan and i cewall are culled ly name the canine Ullup, as much as to say, ".Dead j clogs. Another woman has a parrot that sings the "American Marseillaise" in high C, and drops from its perch when McKinley's name is mentioned, hiss ing all the while, as parrots are wont to do when deeply interested in pol itics. In addition, there are several cana ries that are able to distinguish be tween mock ballot slips marked "Bryan" and "McKinley." The owners of these remarkable spe cimens of the feathery tribe, of course, deny any suggestion of hypnotism or undue influence. , Prayed for Itryan. A colored minister in Virginia, a day or two before Candidate Bryan entered that state, offered the following prayer: O Lord, save the "country from the hands of them who is trying to bust it up. Give us plenty of work and good money for it, so we can take care of our wives and children and buy good bread and meat and pay for it. We want to keep politics out of our churches and out of our prayer meetings, hut we can't help asking Thee o keep a lookout for that poor miserable sinner, Bryan, who, we hear, is coming into this state hand in hand with Satan. We ask Thee, don't let hiin do no harm; forgive his sins that he is committing every day, and then knock thestufflu' out of hiin next November.
