How is Iron?
Those who get Dun's Weekly Review
of Business and Finance will find cur
rent numbers very interesting. Cotton
rose in price on Wednesday to 7.81 cents
with much excitement. Wool has risen
relatively more, about 10 per cent in two
weeks. Pig iron has risen further, 825
being quoted for anthracite No. 1, the
highest price since January, 1883. "The
proper safeguard against undue advance"
says Dun, "is tho monetary pressure
which appears whenever speculation in
any branch threatens to run too far. The
iron industry, which has led all others
in the advance, now leads the way toward
a readjustment of values. While con
tracts for pig cover the entire product of
the most important districts for six to
nine mouths in advance, many of the
consuming works in some lines approach
the end of their orders, and have new
competition to meet, so that sheets have
fallen $i per ton at Pittsburg and S9
from tho highest point in September,
and plates are $G lower there and 83 at
Philadelphia. At the same time bars are
81 per ton higher both at Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, the demand being enor
mous, and at Chicago very heavy con
tracts have been made for car and
implement works. A bridge combina
tion is thought likely to affect future
business in structural shapes, which
continues large for the season. A break
in the London market depressed tin, and
sales were made at 28 cents."
TnE Jodbnaij has always noted that
the thoughtful merchant who keeps trace
of the markets in general, in order that
he may the better manage in his limited
field, is continually asking, How is iron?
And it is such an accurate indicator of
the state of business in general that
many have almost concluded it governs.
As to Iron.
Chicago reports a sale of 25,000 tons of
wire rods for export, and it appears also
that a leading consumer has contracted
for a very large quantity for the first
half of 1900.
In the west there have been good sales
of steel rails, one of the orders calling
for sixty miles of light rails for a new
Utah road. It is reported also that a
western mill has contracted for the
delivery of a heavy tonnage of girder
rails for Glasgow, Scotland.
The specifications have been issued
for the wire cables for the new East
River bridge at New York, the quantity
of high grade wire called for being about
5,000 tons. In this connection it may be
noted that there is a possibility that the
great North River bridge may soon get
beyond the stage of a project. The iron
trade is watching keenly developments
in the New York rapid transit project,
which would bring out a very large
amount of work.
We aro now rapidly approaching the
period of the year when the actual con
sumption of iron and steel in many
branches of the industry falls off quite
heavily, but preparations are always
made during this time to accumulate a
supply for the spring trade, always the
largest in volume in the year. Iron Age.
Bryan is Beaten.
The defeat of the party of Bryanism
on the issue of anti-expansion was prac
tically as decisive on Tnesday as on the
silver issue three years ago, though this
year there were no elections in thirty of
the forty-five states.
The truth of the matter is that what
ever political strength Bryanism, as such,
maintains is as the rallying-point of dis
content, taking each year a different
form. It was against the credit of the
people and their government in 1896,
when debts were hard to pay; against
industrial combinations in 1897, when
mercantile conditions mado such combi
nations necessary; against the American
arms in 1898 and against national expan
sion, one of the fruits of American suc
cess in war, in 1899.
Bryan is against the government and
Bryanism in one form or another will
exist till every man is satisfied with his
job. But the party of discontent cannot
for any great length of time be the
majority party in the United States. It
cannot be the majority in 1900. New

Nebraska Obliges Col. Bryan.
We congratulate the most photograph
ed of Colonels. He has his nomination
sure, and his miles of eloquence have not
been traveled in vain. It is useless to
remind him that Nebraska has not clung
to him and fusion because her people
are impoverished and her industries
paralyzed or because she is frightened
by his dreams of soldiers sitting on
farmers' necks or because she venerates
the Tagalog Washington. If militarism
could appal her, she would have swooned
before the beauty and the majesty of the
Colonel in his togs of war.
In spite of his little eccentricities, Ne
braska forgives the Colonel because he
is a Nebraskan, by settlement She
doesn't grudge him the bauble that he
seeks so eagerly. He shall have his
calling, but not his election. State pride
is an amiable, albeit sometimes a curious,
quality. The Colonel is satisfied and so
are the republicans. New York Sun.
Senator Hatwabd has had another
paralytic stroke; his speech and his
right arm are affected, but some hopes
are yet entertained of his recovery. In
case of his death it is thought that Gov.
Pnynter would appoint ex-Senator Wil
liam V. Allen of Madison, to fill the
vacancy. Later. A telegram from Ne
braska City, November 17, says: Sena
tor Hayward's condition has shown
marked improvement during the past
twenty-four hours. Dr. Wbitten ex
presses himself as being greatly encour
aged with the prospects of his patient's
recovery. The paralysis appear to have
been arrested, as the senator was able to
use his right arm today and to utter a
few intelligible sentences, the first since
the beginning of his present illness.
Tonight the patient's pulse is normal and
his general condition is good.

The area devoted to alfalfa in Kansas
has increased from 34,381 acres iu 1891
to 278.477 acres in 1899.
The best floor for a chicken house is a
board floor, covered with sand or fine
gravel and litter on top of this. No hen
house is complete without a scratching

er, or storms.
Experience of another year at the Ne
braska experiment station but confirms
former observations that alfalfa is far
and away tho leading hay plant for this
country. The Turkistan upland alfalfa
grown from seed iniorted in 189S shows
superior hardiness, and produces a finer

The Bev. Ira B. Hicks Almanac.
There is no comparison between former
editions, and this splendid Almanac for
1900, now ready. Printed in beautiful
colors, on much finer paper, its 196 pages
are packed with invaluable information
on storms, astronomy and meteorology.
It is illustrated with nearly 200 finest
half tones and other engravings. This
superb book would sell anywhere for
fifty cents, bnt it costs only 25c a copy,
and every subscriber to Rev. Ira R
Hicks' now famous paper, Word and
Works, at 81.00 a year, receives this ele
gant Almanac as a premium. Word and
Works is a recognized leader among tho
best family and scientific journals, while
nothing of its kind can compare with
the Hicks Almanac. One dollar a year
is a nominal price for such unique and
useful publications. Professor Hicks
has justly, and of necessity, withdrawn
his storm and weather forecasts from all
free almanacs, having generously given
his time and labor free for nearly twenty
years. Word and Works Pub. Co., 2201

The German imperial yacht Hohen
zollern entered the harbor at Ports
mouth, England, at 10:04 a. m. Monday,
and was welcomed with salutes of the
guns of the war ships and forts. The
emperor and empress and their two sons
landed at 10:30 and were welcomed by
the duke of Connaught It was a typical
November morning, as the Hohenzollern
loomed in sight, escorted by the German
battleship Kaiser- Friederich III, and a
flotilla of eight British torpedo boat des
troyers, which met the German ships
outside of Spitbead. The visiting party
arrived at Windsor 1:45 p. m., and were
received by Queen Victoria. After play
ing national airs the Marine Light In
fantry band struck np 'Oh, Willie, We
have Missed You," which seemed to
please the emperor greatly. Cablegrams
say that the kaiser has made it perfectly
plain that his present attitude to Eng
land is one of benevolent expectancy,
leaving it to Salisbury to make it worth
while to alter it to avowed sympathy.
The Philadelphia Times claims that
Senator Hanna scored several victories
in the last election, in this way: The
result in Ohio and eastern states makes
sure tha nomination of President McKin
ley for the presidency next term; the
result in Nebraska, which the Times
attributes to the scheming of Hanna, is
calculated to ensure the nomination of
Bryan, which would be far more favora
ble to republican success than that of a
conservative democrat. Hanna is surely
a convenient vehicle for carrying the
stray and queer conjectures of amateur
politicians and statesmen. He is the
great bugaboo of the pops for frightening
voters that waver between the lines.
As a result of the recent death in
Morse school, Kansas City, of Blanche
Nippold, 10 years of age, due to convul
sions, following a mild slapping admin
istered by the teacher, the city board of
education adopted a rule absolutely
prohibiting any bodily punishment in
the school room, such as shaking, jerking,
shoving or pushing about The old rule
which permitted corporal punishment of
incorrigible children, after notification
of their parents, still stands. This rule
provides that such punishment shall not
be in the presence of the scholars and
must be witnessed by a principal or two
other teachers.
Dwioht L. Moodt, the noted evange

SPROOF OF PROSPERITY
v
;A Few Facts For the Benetiti
of Calaiuityitcs.
&$$&&&&&&&$&&b&$-$&
After having gono through f ur years
of depression and hard times, the peo
ple of Nebraska are all the better able to
recognize and appreciate the present
era of prosperity. And they are all the
more able to detect the fallacies of the
arguments advanced by the free silver
ahouters and the calamity howlers
who were making such direful predic
tions three years ago.
Under the circumstances it is remark
able that any business man or any farmer
should vote for the calamity crowd
and against his own interests. It is re
markable that he should allow himself
to be fooled by any such a bugaboo as
"imperialism," ''militarism," "foreign
alliance" or Sulu "treaties."
The prosperity hero at home is appar
ent. To correctly ju:1x how it is all
over the country, it is oaly necessary to
read the reports which have been gath
ered from among tho industrial institu
tions of tho surrounding states.
The 2,829 concerns which have scut
in reports not only employed 64,749
more hands in 1898 than they did in
1895, but there was an increase in the
amount of wages paid of $37,415,763.20.
Does this not look like prosperity?
What would the showing be if all tho
industrial concerns in the couutry had
reported? For these 2,229 concerns
alone it means that the 64,500 hands
who were cut of employment hf1895
were all employed at good wages in
1898. With this great prosperity
among the consumers is it any wonder
that the farmers of tho west are pros
perous? In 1895 where ten men were at work
and received $100 in wages, in 1893 13
were at work and received $144 in
wages. The ten men not only had
three new companions beside them, but
they were themselves getting 11 per
cent more wages. Those ton men un
derstand it and so do the three men be
side them.
From Colorado there are reports from
60 concerns which employed 4,758
hands in 1895 and 6,633 in 1898. T
increase in wages was $117,67C.7.
There was an increase of 40 per cent iu
the number of hands and an increase of
15 per cent in the wages of each man.
From Connecticut there are reports
from 78 concerns which employed 3,889
hands in 1895 and 15,576 in 1898. The
increase in wages per month was $96,
411.99. From South Carolina there are 15 re
ports from concerns which employed
3,718 hands in 1895 and 8,892 in 1898.
The increase in wages paid was $111,
806.56 each month, or over 100 per cent,
while the wages of each man was in
creased over 19 per cent.
From Missouri there are 206 reports
from concerns which employed 5,057 in
1895 and 7,565 in 1898. The total in
crease in wages was $95,431.80 for one
month alone.
In Ohio, from 86 reports there was an
increase of 3,735 in the number oi
hands, and an increase of $426,040.57
in the amount of wages paid every
month.
In the state of Washington there was
an increase of 3,644 in the number of
hands employed by 168 firms, and a
monthly increase of wages paid of
$241,369.05.
Taking the country at large, reports
from 203 lumber firms which employed
9,079 hands in March, 1895, employed
15,485 iu March, 1898, and the increase
in wages for the month was $258, 133.76.
Reports from 176 woolen mills show
the employment of 23,456 hands in
March, 1895, and 29,556 in March, 189P,
an increase in wages of $209,156.40 for
the month, or an increase of over two
million dollars for the year.
In the manufacture of iron and steel
64 firms have reported with an increase
of 8,451 hands for the month of March,
and a yearly increase in wages of $511,
459.73. In the coal industry 24 firms report
an increase of 3,207 in the number of
hands and an increase of $2,421,680.64
in the amount of wages paid during the
year. During tho month of March,
1895, tho hands received each an aver
age of $37.40 cents. In March, 1898 thv
average wage was $43.50.
These great increases mean a great
deal to the laboring men, and they
mean a great deal to the producing
class who have the chance to feed a
larger number of working men. And
the working men have tho money to
pay for the produce.
There are at the present time 1,000,
000 more hands employed in the fac
tories and industries of the country
than there were in 1896. This repre
sents a wage earning of more than one
million dollars per day. In 1896 the
free silver ahouters talked much about
the silver interests and their impor
tance to the country. What a small
item the silver business is after all,
compared with the increased amount of
money paid out for wages.
In the state of Nebraska, according
to the government reports, 137 institu
tions employed 633 hands in March,
1895. The same institutions in March,
1898, employed 1,284. The total in
crease in wages paid amounted to $28,
637.31 for the month. Taking the whole
country over, the wages paid per capita
for the month of March, 1895, averaged
$34.60; for March, 1898, the average
was $38.60 a net gain of over 11 par
cent.
A prominent railroad man of Ne
braska says that during the past 18
months the receipts of the Burlington
road for exoess baggage have doubled.
This excess baggage is paid by commer
cial travelers almost entirely and indi
cates that there are more of these com
mercial men on the road, and they are
each of them carrying a larger amount
of sample trunks with them. This is a
true index of the commercial prosperity
of the state.

Lack of Maatleatloa. Cauei Dyaeee
la and Teeth Troablea.
Mastication is rapidly becoming a lost
art, and, although we have become
hardened to tho fact that three-fourths
of the dyspepsia is due to this caste, it
might surprise some of us to know that
the early decay cf the teeth and diseases
of the gums aro occasioned by this same
lack of maxillary exercise.
A disease of the gums, called Bigg's
disease, which is every day becoming
more commoc. is caused almost entirely
by the want of proper mastication.
'Twenty-five years ago this trouble was
not considered of any importance by
the dentist on account of its rare occur
rence. Today it is given more care than the
decay of the teeth, as he is frequently
consulted by patients who have a full
set of natural teeth which are quite loose
in the jaw. Aside from this they are
sound and healthy, and after a certain
development in tho disease nothing can
be done to help them.
By lack of exerciso the blood which
should nourish both the bones and the
gums is not carried to the part, nor does
the blood carry sufficient material to the
teeth ; hence the enamel formed is de
fective, and eaily decay results. Fre
quently, too, the mechanical develop
ment of the jaw is arrested by this same
want of motion.
Most of tho food among the better
class of people today is cooked so as to
reqnire very littlo mastication, and the
consequence is that the muscles have
become flabby, the jaws Blender and the
processes for tbo attachment of the
muscles almost obliterated. Boston

Democrat Are Proae to Ferget What
Doeia't Sett Then.
"The silk industry of Pennsylvania,"
says the Reading Telegram, "has
grown to be of great Importance. Sta
tistics just published show that last
year there were 8S silk plants In op
eration, with a total of Gm,308 spin
dles, 1,117 hand looms, 0,238 power
looms and 3,401 machines. The aver
age number of weeks in operation was
51."
Fifty-oue weeks In the year, en?
That, to The Inquirer, sounds like
rather steady work. There are 52
weeks In ths year, are there not?
But never mind that It is to the
point but so are otfcer facts. Tlint
which we now have uppermost Iu
mind Is the fact that there Is a silk
Industry in this country.
Who Is there. Democrat or Republic
an, who docs not remember the sav
age Democratic arguments against the
very duties which built up the silk In
dustry In the United States? They
were "the height of folly." because It
was not possible to foster that Indus
try In this country. The conditions hi
France were such that Lyons had a
natural monopoly of the busiuess.
It was Impossible to manufacture
steel rails too. Who has forgotten
that? It was doubted whether Tren
ton pottery would be a success. For a
long time we had to buy our hats
abroad. Our gloves too. American
skill and genius were of such an In
ferior order that nothing was to be
left to them. Who has forgotten that?
To which we would like to add only
that the Reading Telegram Is an ex
cellent Democratic newspaper, but in
Its articles showing the progress of the
iron and silk industries of the Uuited
States It is furnishing some very
strong Republican arguments. Phila

fields the Champleaaala.
The wage procession still keeps up.
A dispatch from Columbia. Pa., under
date of June 8, says, "The Jausen iron
company has posted a notice of an ad
vance In wages, this being the second
Increase this year." The Dingley law
easily holds the championship as a
raiser of wages. The only chance for
further triumph now is for It to beat
Its own record, and It seems to be do
ing that regularly.

As an illustration of the commercial
boom that the country has been enjoy
ing It may be mentioned that during
the last six months of 1808 the money
orders issued by the postofflce depart
ment were $10,500,400 in excess of the
orders Issued during the corresponding

wrong if its teachings are followed.
It tells the mistakes men have made;
how others havesucceededand why.
An intelligent man gets good from
the experiences of others and steers
clear of the rocks they ran against.
