Bruce had painted a picture which brought back such a flood of memorits as t overpower me. He did not mean to be cruel, but At last 1 heard myself speaking as from a distance. "The third of September." It was now the last of .June. Brace took my last match and left without a word. Our rooms were opposite, and gradually we drifted into the old habit of spending much of our time together. We breakfasted nt a little iafe. Inaeked ! my room on buns nnd tea. dined at the same cafe it was popular with the students, and cheap and betw.en times worked as we bad l..ne during our first acquaintance. It seemed but a day since we had parted It was the second day of RepteMt.er.

"( an 1 help yon'." he asked, with unusual tenderness. "There is little to do." I answered iu a voire strained and unnatural. He went to work, and when we had everything packed he took up my sailor hat. "Come," he said, "our last day together." Hut I aroatal 1 haven't time," I protested weakly. "Our last day.

It was now nine. 1 hurried ilressim.', crowded the last article into uiy bursting trtink, and was only through when the carriage topped below. 1 did not glance toward Bruces door as I went out.

Bruce was just entering, lie did not see me, and I was glad. We had reached the church. Friends who had been invited had not artived, owing probably to the hange in the hour.

"Coffee and rolls?" she asked, glenring curiously at my costume. I nodded. Anything to get rid of her. BrUCC looked at me strangely. almost reprovingly, "I couldn't help it, Hruce." I s.iio quietly . "I Couldn't go on with It." He picked up the morning pa pel and glaaeed down the columns. "There's a boat for St. JoC at 1 1 : SO," he cold; "1 think we can catch it." The tr fl brought my rolls and coffee. BrUCC threw down some money, and we went out from the little cafe, but to return after a time to sing, to work, to paint, to starve together. Chieoao Tribune.

WepromotC free trade in men, and H in the only kind of free trade I am pceparod to promote." This has always been tkc policy of the protectionist- that is, of the republican party , which ha ever l en the home of the protected manu fact urei s and the enemy of the laborer and farmer Observe son how beautifully their system i- working! J. P. Morran and his coal, steel, railroad and steamship pals encourage great strikes, when their steampships are dumping thousands of immigrants on our shores every week, w illing t o work forconsideral.lv less than the coal and ,. , ., ; . ",,,pr -triktW have been gett.ng. 1'or the year ending June SO, 1902, rl4,74',l immigrants reached mtr shores; 4".7.?11 were from Italy, Aust ria-Hnn-gary and Bnssia. They were driven oat of these countries partly by a stieei Ion of poof cropc, but more especially by the very high Mr ifl and in,,'r;'l h prevent the people fr..m obtaining foreign goods except at prices almost prohibitive. Thus, the lowest price for refined supar is 11 cent I in Itnly. and 7'2 cents per pound in ROCOM and Austria-Hungary, althoinrh the same -near is sold in Y.nsland for 't cents per pound. Undoubtedly, also, menj tmatifranti j eame over after reading the glowing I promUea of biirh wages in America made in the advertising pamphlets of Morgan's railroad and iteonuhip lince. Certain it is that hundreds of thousands of them are here to flood the labor merke! tnd keep wage down and to Increase consumption of goods and thus e nobis the trusts to give prices Soother lift. It is a beautiful system for 1 lie protected manufacturers, mine operators nnd railroads. As Senator .7. .Im F. Miller, of California, said, in IfOf. "The cTcrsge manufacturer i ini tcrested generally in two thiojrs, neaic ly the highest protect iv e tariff and the rheajie-t labor. . The sdlttis ' slon of serv';'. laborers into this country wttnout until. . - . means nig-n pr ic s f i t he pro.htc t s of ma n u f ac t ii r e ... ... .. , . . and low prices for the labor that prod HC them." Is it any aonder that the coal operators refused to arbitrate and that they are but little worried about the mite . me of the strike? They are in no hurry to begin to operate t he mines because thej re getting frMosevea to ten dollars per tog for the surplus COOl which they had stored up in anticipai..n of 1 he st rike. In the meantime, they are building stockades around the mines and putting armor on car so that when they iecide to dump a few shiploads of immigmntl into their mines, they cat), I with the assistsocc of PtoJtcrtoos, state militia and nat lone guard-, defy labor unions, ex-miners and public sentimrnt. About the only thins; to worry the Operators is the fact that the pit Id i.ls getting "nosey" and nuking why the nnerstori do not work the mines or offer to arbitrate, nnd is sngpestine that It has some rights, that the coal was not put there in the ground for the exclusive use of S f vv mine owners, nnd that the operators, by their otftw conduct, sre taking the short- ... est cut to state sociiui-m ami com-mttni-m. The OOemtori are replying that the mit.es are their private property, anil that it IsBoaC Of the business f the public a hat they do with them. rnquesionnbly, the mine owners (railroads) could, even in ordinary times, sell anthracite coal at present price. Bet they are afraid of the public. Thej need ao excuse furnished by a strike and a pretended shortage Of coal. The longer the mines nre left Idle, the brtter the public will become accustomed to hieb prices of coal end ,),(. esi reduction in prices will have to be made when mining is resumed. Protected PenneyleeBla la tha state of great strlkes.greei riots, loa wagt . servile laborers, protected mills, tariff made Bsillionalres and pniiticel bOSSri of the mOSl obnoxious tve. It is n great mill, into the hopper of which are poured ignorant foreigners and out of which runs a strram of tramps. new and large crop of tramps will be supplied by the unfortunates in the present strike, already doomed to failure. Should times re better in Kttrope and Immigration from there stop, the j protected nianuf geturcrg nnd BUBO opi erators could draw on i lima s horde of cheap laborers. The new Chinese ex clusion act. passed at the urgent re- : quest of nil the labor orjratiiations of the COUBtry, t" lake li e place of the exnlrtna Oearj tssr, was punctured so full of holes in the SOUgtC that, in the ..pinion of able Igwycrs and the American lederetioaist, it fers to., .pp.. si tion to the importation of Chinese laborers, through our colonies. The lobbies of the iteBgBsktp c iinpn n les. headed by Mr. Schwerin, of tkcPaclfk Mail COmpSBy, were on hand in the senate and spent thousands of dollars to make this bill look like the loop in the eireti after tlie ncridmt had jumped through It. nnd the repuhlicnnperformed the feat, nnd disregarded the r(ue-ts of millions of working men.

RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTS.

( osnblnes rrosperlna W hile lOaCt mu a People Are Mum OST I lian I'.ver Heforr. In a recent editorial the Halt imorsj Boo diseaaaes the topic of "strikeo and Prosperity" in u refreshingly funk vein, showing itself not in tho least afraid to !...k the truth in the Face inn! to gnalygg tkc sigafMeacgj of the CXisticg situation. suy the St. boaia Bepu bile, The Sun gOtieeg that, although tho present is a period of national prosperity in the United States according 0 the ordinary acceptation of the term, there is, i.c v e rt heless, a st range unrest in the ranks of labor. Tho aerldagasan is depeodeot apou tho Mpftaligt for employ inent, yet he ia in revolt against his employer. This condition is not due to idle and irresponsible malice. A strike is a serious step for the workingnian, and ke knows it. An laveotlgotioa of the conditiooe of living seems t. account for this dig) settsfactioo W the ranks of labor. The cost of the necessaries of life has advanced '0 per cent, in the past three years This advance is due to the operation of the 1 rust . or combine, system, greet corporations gaining a monopoly of food or other necessary I Uncle Sam Confound that last congress. it chucked all the good bills into the waate-oeeket prodUCte, then cheap ning the cost of production and advancing the price to consumers. This advance of 20 per cent. In the price of the necessaries of life falls with crushing force upon the workingnian. On the other hand, a trust cheapening of the cost of production is also accomplished largely at the workingnian' expense. The ultimate meaning of these truths i that the monopoly trnslsar prospering, but that the great mass of tin people are now in worse plight than ever before. The workingman, the consumer, the retail dealer, the individual DUSlBCSI man. nil suffer in order that the trusts may thrive.
