To Have Said That a Dollar

Wages
-Esopus, N. Y., Sept. 22.-There is a
good deal of talk in Ulster county to
tho effect thnt Judge Parker will not
be ablo to carry his own district, de
spite his great personal popularity
and tho naturnl pride his neighbors
feel in having 'a presidential candi
date among them. The Republican
lcadcrsnrQv working tooth and 'nail to
roll up a good majority, 'and in the
last week they havo 1been making
much uso of n story going tho rounds
about Iho judge's views on tho sub
ject of wages. In instance it is noth
ing more than ,thnt ho remarked two
years ago that an unskilled laborer
was entitled to $1 a day and no more.
The amount of gossip started by
this revivnl of an off-hand contribu
tion to economic discussion in a cor
ner grocery storo is indicative of rural
sentiment; and tho precise details
with which tho story is embellished in
its campaign garb show tho import

P
-"I think that n. dollar .a day 'lis
enough for any' man; "provided that
his work is steady. Any man can
livo on that, and thnt is nil unskilled
labor is worth. I am sorry I havo o
j$iy more than thnt, and wouldn't If
wo hail a butter supply of labor here
abouts." This statement was mndo by Judge
Parker in Emory Freer 's storo one
Saturday morning nbout two years
ago, and mado an impression on those
that heard it from him directly, anl
on those that heard it from others,
that has not yet died out. The re
mark was called forth by a discussion
in Freer's store. Freer is tho grocery
man, dry goods man and tho general
merchant of tho village, and his store,
which is on tho corner of the main
street, is tho gathering placo for he
men horeabouts to exchange news,
gossip nnd political views. On the
day in question a crowd of men was
there. There was Emory Freer, Sam
E. Mott, who runs tho butcher shop
nnd livery stablo; Low Booth, tho bar
ber; Carl Wismor, who is now u bog
gngo handler in tho West Shoro sta
tion in Kingston, and several farmers
from tho vicinity who were in the
village for their Saturday trading.
Tho topic wns tho scarcity of labor
in tho township nnd tho high wages
that wore being paid, unskilled labor
getting at times as high as $1.00 a
day. Whilo tho talk was going on
Judgo Parker happened in, and ap
peal was mndo to him immediately.
Ho answored without hesitation that
a dollar a day was enough for any
man.
Tho talk immediately roso to a high
pitch of excitement. Everybody in
the storo took a hand in it, and none
agreed with Judge Parker. Even tho
farmers, who in that part of the (Spun
try aro n vory thrifty clues, cfuld
not accept suoh u proposition. Ai dol
lar and n quarter a day was tho bot
tom prlco for day -labor. Tho judge
stayed somo timo in the store, listen
ing to tho talk and taking consider
able part in it, but no nrgumonts were
ablo to movo him from his belief that
a dollar was all that a day's labor
was worth, with th.o furbur, statement
that ho never paid more than that if
ho could help it, whlob was often the
case.
Mr. Wismor, who was one of those
prosent, says of tho incident:
"I remember it ns plainly as if it
wus yosterday. It was in Freer's
store. Emery Freer was there, Lew
Booth, the harbor, and Butcher Mvtt.
Theso men, I romember, were there,
and tboro wero others, farmers.
"It made n lot of talk at the time,
because wo liked and admired Judge
Parker, and we were surprised to hear
him say such a thing; a lot of people
around Esopus have held it up
against him. Everybody is remember
ing it now. The judge1 is a fine raan,
but he is way off oa that proposition."
The Salem public schools will open
for tho year on Monday, September
20th. The school board has been very
liberal in tho way i of placing tho
schools in good repair for tho year. Tho
Eat School has boon knlsomincd in two

it for n man who will piny fair, and
tho other fellow will not havo tho re
spect of tho people. I wnnt to got
back to my law practico and mnko

"During tho yenrs that I havo fol
lowed politics it has beon a Btrugglo
for mo to make a living, nnd I nm sick
of tho whole dqal. When a man reaches
my age, almost CO, ho commences to
think, about tho future, nnd ho wants
to settlo down. 1 nm out of polities.
Nothing in tho future, could interest
mo to beeomo a candidato, unless to
protect tho interests of a friend or two
that I havo. I will probably be a can
didate for reelection to tho sonuto from
Clackamas county, ns I have somo spo-
cial legislation for tho pooplo down
there that I want to got through before
I retire. "Whon I get a hobby I like,
to go through with it, nnd I havo sev
eral measures that I know would ben
efit tho taxpnycrs of that county."
The senator left town on tho enrly
morning train, nnd his last doclarution
was that ho was out of politics.
