Echoes of Prosperity: The employes of the American plate glass factory, Elwood, Ind., are on a stiika, their wages having been cut 25 cents per day. The first national bank, Benton Harbor, Michigan, failed the other day, with $90,000 due ils deposit* ors.

At a meeting of jthe knit goods manufacturers, held in this citv, Thursday, it was decided to at once increase the price of goods from 15 to 40 per cent., according to the relative amount of wool and cotton used in their manufacture. The reason given for the adv. nee is the increased cost of cotton and wool, and it is declared that the selling price of knit goods is to be based strictly on the cost of raw material. The manufacturers also agreed that if it were necessary to Secure the increased prices, they woula curtail production, even to ths stoppage of their mills.—New York World. Nothing said about in increase price on account of increased pay to wage'-earners. But prices will be maintained by curtailing pro-, duction,and increasing idle hands. The same old trick of the trusts.

Strike of miners spreading.Prosperity with a big “P.” There will be no surplus to the credit of the Dingley idiocy. — Mark Hanna's speecnes are lit erary curiosities There is but one Hanna and the McKinley administration is hie profit. McK nley prosperity is making work—for the deputy sheriffs and the men who evict starving families. Senator Hanna has taken the stump, and admirers of English as it should be spoken are taking to the woods. heat, corn, oats—everything we consume has gone up, but the wages it takes to b y have not been ineieased. The revenue for August, under thoDingley bill, was the [smalles for any month during the past twenty-fiv.- years.

1 ■ <»> ' ■ Near the close ot the beneficent reign o Harrison the SecondHomestead. In the beginning of the reign of William the Pliant— Latimer. Twenty-one dead and over forty wounded is a big record in the maintenance of protection in all that It implies, and government by injunction, for one day. Dollar wheat! shouts the senior Republican organ. Dollar wheat! echoes the junior Republican organ. At the same time their market reports quote wheat at 85 to 90.

The result of the operation of the McKinley bill at ‘Homestead’, in 1892, is being reproduced by the operation of the Dingley bill in 18&7. See proceedings at Hhule* ton.

Speaking of the coincidence of dollar wheat and a republican administration it is somewhat (remarkable that the bloodiest labor struggle we ever bad before this Hazleton murder followed close on the heels of the McKinley tariff law.

Twent-one of the miners at Ha. zleton were killed, and twice, tha number wounded, in the effort o the government to insure “protection”, in all that it implies, to the coal combines, monopolies and trusts. President McKinley, the first executive of this great nation to s'and with uncovered head by the grave cf Old John Brown, convicts ted and executed for treason and murder, the other day pardoned Ooffin, convicted and serving sen* tence for wrecking a bank at Indianapolis. “Protection” does double duty, but onlv in one direction. First .. “protection” to increase prices of products in the intoiest of the owners thereof. Second-—“pro-by the military of the government against tne efforts of wage-earn-ers to enforce their promised claiu s to increased compensation for their labor.

A republican farmer the other day picked up the junior organ, glanced at its market reports and read: “Wheat 95 to 90. Haven’t any to sell; will have to buy my bread at the increased price. But that is not all. In addition I find that I must pay more for sugar, clothing, and other necessaries. I also find that my income has not increased a farthing.” Reading further along he came to “Hay S 5 per ton.” “Wish I could get it,” he said. “1 have a fine lot of first class hay; received last’year $7 to $8 for ♦he same kind—can not this year get $5.” We remarked that the Dinglev bill increased the tax to keep Canada hay out; competition was shut off. Certainly the promised Prosperity should ba coming his way. “Prosperity the d—l! The duty has n thing tdo with it. Supply and demand cong trols this matter,”

Prices are rising on articles of consumption. The trusts afone are being benefited. The assassin, tne incendiary, the anarchist and government by injunction are no friends of lai or. Labor can take care of i.self, and itsoue reliable weapon is the bal lot. The following sections of the “Truancy Law" of this State are just now of especial interest and importance to "parents, guardians, and other persons having control or charge of any child or children be l tween the ages'of eight and fourteen years" “Section 1. Be it enact'd by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That every parent, guar* dinn, or other persons in the State of Indiana, having control or charge of any£child or children between the ages of eight and fourteen years, shall be required to send such chib, or children to a public, private or parochial school, or to two or more of these schools, each school year for a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive weeks each school vear.

• Section 2. The truant officer shall see that the provisions of this act are complied with, and u hen from personal knowledge or by report or complaint from any resident of the township or townships under his supervision, he be. lieves that any child subject to the provisions ot this act is habitually absent from school, he shall im* mediately give written notice to the parent, gnaidian or custod.an of such a child that the attendance of such a child at school is required, and if vithin five days such

parent, guardian or custodian of child does not comply with the provisions of this section, then such truantofficer shall make complaint against such parent, guaidian or custodian of such child, in any court of record for violation of the provisions of this act, and . ny such parent, guardian or cusodian ot child who shall violate the provisions of this act shall be adjudged guilty of a misdemeanoi, and upon conviction thereof shall r:o fined in any sum not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars, to which may ba ad fed, in the discretion of tLe court, imprisonment in the county jail not less than two nor more than ninety days." — Judge Healy’s is the place for shoes—Genes', Ladies’ and Children’s.

< R salon of Alaska Where the White Metal Abounds. On the head water of the Oopper River, Alaska, about 200 mile* tam the sea eonst, where but one wttota man has ever succeeded In reaching, dwells a strange and peculiarly my*terlous race of Indiana. In recent yean, through some traders, they have acquired possession of a few guns, and now when they dome down to the trading posts at the head of Oook’s inlot, they often bring bullets moulded out of stiver and other metals. The Indians have a great many primitive weapons and cooking utensils, all of which are rudely though skillfully made out of pure copper. They havo frequently Informed the white traders that silver and copper abound tn immense quantities at the base of a peek back of Spirit mountain, which is now reckoned as being the highest mountain in North America by surveyors and engineers who have viewed it from a distance.

The only reason, apparently, why American prospectors have not visited the upper Oopper River country to its almost complete Inaccessibility. Several parties have attempted to ascend the river, but from the nature of the stream, being excessively swift and turbulent, one might as well try to climb Niagara Falls. The river Is lined on each side tar miles and miles with nothing but gla- ' clers, whose walls are perpendicular from the summit to an unknown depth below the water and whose every side Is seamed with crevices so deep as to be almost fathomless.
