The Republicans everywhere are
holding the Democratic nose squarely
on the protection grindstone, and a
universal shriek of "calamity howlers"
is the only response that come up
from the sufferers. There will not lie
much nose left by the ;th of Novcin-U-r.
Not a letter nor a word has lieen re
ceived from Mr. Cleveland endorsing
Hill for (Governor of his own State.
Doubtless the President is doing "a
power of thinking," but his pen and
tongue lioth apjiear to lie paralyzed.
Meanwhile the cuckoos are in dire
straits, waiting for a sign."
Some of the leading Democratic jour
nals are kindly warning Republicans
not to nominate McKinley for Presi
dent in ls:Hi. "Thanks, awfully !" The
Republicans are not making nomina
tions for Wti this year, and it was the
advice of a sage : "Kind out what your
enemy doesn't want you to do, and do
it"
The meeting held at Morgantown,
West Virginia, on Saturday, to Imost
the pilitiral fortunes of Congressman
Wilson, the father of the bill of "perfi

ened it, was largely made up of Pitts
burg and South-western Pennsylvania
Democratic shouters. When it comes
to voting tin we gentlemen "won't lie in

the same man under whose ad vice and
with whose assistance J udge Maynard

in the hands of the IX-mocrats in lsil.j.
The people of the State sat down on
Maynard by over 1U0,000 majority, and
the indications are that they will treat
his master in the same way at the
coming election.
II jke Smith, the pilferer of the old
veteran pensions, solemnly aiuerU
that he sees nothing diseounigiug in
the recent election iu his native State
of Georgia. There was only a flump
iu the Democratic majority from "VW

days when everything apjK-ars to lie
turning into the Rcpuhlicau iwrty?
Probably Hoke is happy that his State

I s a speech made at Findlay, Ohio,
a couple of weeks sine.', Governor Mc
Kinley put the results of the coming
election tersely and forcibly, as follows:
" What is your verdict to lie here iu
Ohio? A Democratic victory means
further and longer steps in the direc
tion of free trade deeper cuts and
more deadly blows ujton our industrial
life. A Republican victory a Repub
lican I louse of Representative means
that during the closing half of Mr.
Cleveland's administration the ene
mies of the protective system will lie
unable to successfully wage further
warfare um the prosierity of the
ountry. On which side will you vote
for more war or less war? For re
newed attacks on the home industries
tliat are still running, or for more in
dustry at home? For still greater re
duction of wages, or -more general em
ployment at the old scale of wages ?
You must answer at the polls.
Wuo says tliat the tide is not strong

a id Alaluuia the Democratic majori
ties were reduced immensely. Arkan
sas cut down Cleveland's majority
aitout one-half and Georgia more than
three-fourths, while Maine and Ver
mont have doubled their Republican
majorities. Add to this the revolt of
the sugar planters in Louisiana who
have come over squarely to the Ilcpult
liean ranks, the cat-and-dog fight be
tween the Hill and Cleveland Democ
racy in New York which will almost
certainly throw tiie state into the hands
of the Republicans, the virtual aband
onment of the IX-nioeratie canvass in
this Slate, and who cannot see the set
of the tide? Where the Democrats are
not on the run they are on the defen
sive; "the stumn' is knocked out of
them," and never In-fore were there
such auspicious, such certain signs of
an over helming victory.
Kx-1kesiiext Hakkisox has taken
the stump in his own State and ismak
ing a series of speeches in his own in
imitable manner to immense crowds
that gather to hear him. We cull from
them a few striking iwssages for the
U-nefit of our readers :
" Can the workingmen expect to liave
good wages w hen the mills don't pay any
dividends to the stockholders? Can the
farmer expect to have good prices for his
crops when the workingnian is not eitt
ploved or getting good wages?"
"
" Not long ago we heard a great deal
from iK-tnocratic newspapers at a time
when the country was prosperous and
when that prosperity was generally dis
tributed among all the people, a great deal
of talk aliout a time when the rich w ere
all getting richer ami the poor were get
ting iioorer and by way of curing that
condition of things, which did i; exist
the Democrats said that they would bring
in a time when the rich would all get
jioorer and the poor all get richer. Hut
instead of that they have illustrated the
general truth that we prosper together
ami that we suffer together by bringing
in a time when w e are all getting poorer
together. The polic y of a party that is to
lie ai-ceptcd by a people should lie a poli
cy that brings and maintains a general
policy aud that appeals to men in all pur
suits in life. Iet us stop to think of the
promises that w ere made to us, lieeause
out of this experience you ought to leant.
Kxierience is a hard school, Init its les
sons abide w ith us longer than any other.
" The Democrats talked to the lalring
man aliout the oppression of the twin",
especially as it was related to his coat.
The appeal made to you was to smash the
taritT, the suggestion lieing that your
wages would remain as good as they had
lieen, but that everything you Imught
would le cheaper. You were told that
it would lie a good thing to smash this
tariff umbrella under which you and your
employers had lieen walkingtogethernnd
sharing the lienefits of its protection.
You were told that you w ere getting too
much of the drip, but you found when
you had smashed the umbrella that in
the very nature of things he had an -cumulation
and had provided himself
with a rublier coat while you were left
in your shirt sleeves.
"Just before the radical change in our
responsible government the country was
in the highest state of prosperity; our
foreign trade was larger than it had ever
lieen in the history of this country and
the lieauty of it was that it was something
like s-ji,( i,t i larger iu exports than in
imports.
"Kveryliody knows that everybody was

tributed among our i-eojile were greater

the farmers w hether they had ever known
a time ln-fore when it took four bushels of
wheat to shoe a horse. But now what do
we see? Wheat has not appreciated, but
h:is gone lower than ever In-fore in the
memory of any farmer who hears me.
It has In-en hard to get enough of it in
the shape of flour sometimes in the home
of the workingiiwn, but it has ln-en so

"The choice of a Congress pledged to
put the Chicago platform into legislation
introduced an element of uncertainty that
made it impossible for any manufacturer

"These gentl en now tell yon that
they want to break down the fences. Tliat
is what Mr. Wilson told his Kuglish
friends the other day, that he w;is en
gaged in tearing down fences. Xow,
fetu-es are for two jiurjioscs. I was
raised on a farm ami have some experi
ence. They are to keep things out or to
keep them in, one or the other. The
fence around the cornfield is to keep stock
out, the fence around the pasture field is
to kc-p st.n-k in. What dn-s tearing theiil
down imply? That all of the range stock
outside will get into our pastures and tliat
our i-atile will share the range with them.
I stall out with this proposition, tliat
there is not enough grass on the range for
the rattle that are out there already. I
make this second proposition, that the
grass inside of our fences litis been better
and the cattle slicker and ln-tter in Ikhic
and richer in condition than those out on
the range. If we equalize these things
and let this wild-horned and hungry
stock from" the range into our fields we
won't have a much crass for our own
stock as w e had ln-fore,

Tammany's Death Struggle.
From the Pittntmrg t'ommerckil-Gazrtte.
The Tammany Democracy of Xew
York city, after a good deal of friction,
have succeeded iu placing in nomination
a city and eouuty ticket. The greatest
dillictilty was iu the selection of a satis
factory candidate for mayor. The braves
were in tavorof Hugh J. Crant, hut that
gentleman positively refused the U0 of
his name. An attempt was made to stam
iede the delegates to his supHrt, but
it failed, and the choice fell uihiii Nathan
Straus. Thus the issue ln-tween Tamma
ny and anti-Taunuany ; honesty and
corruption in government ; the overthrow
of machine rule or its perpetuation; the
toleration of official blackmailing or iU
suppression; the shielding of vice and
crime or the enforcement of the laws iu
a word, the Issue between decency and
intolerable delisuichery has ln-en square
ly raised and will lie fearlessly met by
those w ho favor reform. The Recorder
says: "Party is now sunk out of sight iu
the uprising of all the people who seek to
rescue this fair city from the murderous
grip w hich the Tammany tiger has fast
ened upon iu throat ; to save our munici
pality from the shame of untold crimes
at the han Ls of a bhnnl-sucking political
organization whose appetite for sjMiils is
insatiable. Harmony is now established
In-twecn all lovers of law and order, irre
spective of party preference or party as
sociation. They are united in the one
grand and patriotic purjxwe of redeem
ing the city from the domination of the
most vicious criminal and unconsciona
ble political ring that ever held power
within its confines.
The opposition candidate for mayor is
CoJ. Strong, indorsed by the non -partisan
committee of seventy ; by the great coun
ty Deiuocratio organization of which Mr.
(i race is the bead ; by the O'Hricn anti
Taiiiiuany Democracy, the Ktcklerites,
th Kfpul'lican party and a largo faction
of the Herman iK-movratic organization.
In addition to these forces Col. Strong
will lie supported by a large lnxly of citi
zens who hold allegiance with no party
or faction, but vote as their judgment and
conscience dictate. Decent and fair
minded men of all parties have an abid
ing conviction that Tammany is now en
gaged in life and death struggle, and
that the rotten heart of the lieust will lie
stilled on Novemln-r (i. Among the
promising indication of the triumph of
honesty and purity over dishonesty and
immorality is the fact that the good wom
en of the city have organized to assist in
the overthrow of Tammany.
Chance for Wild Catting.
The Cleveland administration has solv
ed the currency problem. The rejeal of
the state lmnk tax is not necessary in or
der to increase haul circulation. This is
the construction plaicd upon an opinion
just delivered by the solicitor of the
treasury at the request of Secretary Car
lisle on the question as to whether coun
ties may law fully issue lxmds of low de
nominations that can be used for circula
tion. The request for information came from
Floyd county, tii in a letter addressed
to the comptroller of the currency and
signed by It G. Clark, a banker iu Rome,
of the same state, M r. Clark stated that
the county commissioners of Floyd coun
ty, Ga., proposed to issue a certain
amount in county bonds liearing low rate
of interest in denominations of $", f 10,
and $J0, that one of the purpose in view
in issuing these Itouils was tho intention
of using them for local currency. Mr.
Clark inquired whether such action con
flicts in any way with the 1'nited States
banking laws. The solicitor of the treas
ury, Mr. Felix A. Reeve, to whom the
letter was referred by Secretary Carlisle,
advised the secretary that no statute of
the Cnited States prohibit the issue of
county bonds in any denomination. Ae
cirdingto Reeves any cunty has the
rij."lt to issue Imnds when not in contro
vei.tion to the constitution of tho state.
As to the stole liank tax of lKT's Mr.
Reeves says that the word "county" is
not enumerated among the taxable eono
ratiotis, persons, firms, associations, state
lianks or state lianking associations, and
therefore county Imnds are not subject to
the iu per cent, tax.
Mr. Reeves also held that the word
"notes" could not In? regarded as includ
ing county t Minds, and he was therefore of
the opinion that the proposed issue of
county Imnds w ould not be taxable under
the federal statutes.
A talk w ith solicitor Reeves procured
from him the further statement that
whither the lntnds issued by a county
bore interest or not his opinion would
apply the same. These iMinds, he ad
mitted, could lie in denominations as low
as Jl and fc!, and could In) used as a local
circulating medium.
The iinMirlance of the opinion is al
ready appreciated in Georgia, where it is
declared that the state bank problem is
settled, and that it w ill ln an easy matter
for the counties to provide the people
w ith all the money they require. The
only possible chance of conflict with the
United States authorities on this question
would 1 in the manufacture of these
Jionds or notes in a form resembling
Cuited States currency, as in tho case of
the Mississippi lxuuls recently seized.
This, it is said, could easily In- avoided by
warning the engravers of the new mon
ey not to imitate any vignette, seal or
scroll work in use by the Cnited States.

A TRAIX ROBBERY.
AND NEAR WASHINGTON, TOO-
Over $150,000 Secured by the Mask
ed Bandits Last Night
WashixoTox, Oct IX All Washing
ton was astounded this morning to learn
that seven masked men had held up a
train last night w ithin a few miles of tho
National Capital, captured a sum sup
posed to lie in the neighlMirlmod offl.V),
1X10 to $IVk) and escaped on the engine
with their Innity. This crime will proba
bly be mailo the subject of proposed leg
islation at the next session of Congress to
provide fitting punishment for attempts
to imperil inter State commerce. The
train "held up" was the north-ltound ex
press on the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad, which left Rich
mond, Ya., at 7 o'clock last night. The
robbery occurred near Aqua creek, be
tween It rooks Station and Wide Water,
a wild part of the country suited for the
punoue. It is not known where the rob
bers boarded the train, and the first inti
mation anylnxly had that trouble was
brewing wan when two men junin.-d
from the coal car into the cabin and level
ing revolvers at the engineer aud fireman
ordered theiu to stop the train, which was
runuiiig forty miles an hour. The engineer
hesitated, but when informed that he
must stop or be killed he closed the
throttle.
The fireman and engineer were com
pelled to sit quietly on the bank along
side the track. Then tho lutndits, all
masked, made for the express car, which
was in charge of Messenger J. S. Crutch
field. One of the robbers tired at the
messengers and theu threw a stick of dy
namite, which shattered tho front of the
car. Then they opened the door. One
rubber came iu and made Crutchiield
ojH-n the safe. He took everything, but
threw away a package containing ti,oiiO.
The roblier made the messenger open an
other safe, which contained nothing.
Crutchiield thinks there may have Inieii
i"i,io0 in the packages stolen. The rob
bery occupied about twenty minutes,
Tho night was dark. The luindils com
pelled thu engineer and ciew to uncouple
the locomotive, juuicd aboard and made
good their escape in the direction of the
Potomac river. The robln-rs aresupM
ed to have left the engine before it passed
Wide Water after oieiiing the throttle.
The train dispatchers at Wide Water
comprehended that something was wrong
and telegraphed ahead to Ijuaiitico to
look out for a w ild engine. A switch was
thrown open just outside of luaiuico, and
when the engine arrived it was run onto
a switch and crashed into a uumin-rof
empty freight cars. The engine and cars
area complete wreck. The long Atlanta
sKi ial was standing on the inaiii truck
at O.uantico and narrowly escaped lieing
struck by the runaway engine. The de
layed train arrived iu Washington at 1:17,
a little over two hours behind lime. There
were seven jmhsUiI clerks in the ear ahead
of the express car. The ostal car had
many sacks of registered mail, but no
effort was made to touch them. When
the robln?ry had ln-en completed and
within ten minutes a rille express car
had started form New York, The railroad
comiany has offered a reward offl.'MU
each for the capture of the robbers.

TWO XES HOLD UP A T2AIT.
They Escape With Your Bug J Containing
SACKAMKXTO, Cai., Oct. li The east
bound overland express, duo hero at 9
o'clm-k last night was held no alnuit six
niiles out of t)e city and robbed of four:
sacks of ni-'iiey by two men, whoescaicd
w ith their 1mm.Iv. The amount of Money
in the sacks was $"il,i.
The robln-rs first held nil the track
walker, and taking his torpedoes and
signal lantern fruit hint, flagged tho
train iu proper fashion, indicating that
likely they were railroad men. They
then covered Kngineer William Scott i.nd
Fireman Lincoln w ith rifles, and forced
them to uncouple tho express car and
engine from the rest of the train and run
ahead, w ith the robbers on board, to a
point between two trestles. While tho
nneiMipliiig was being done the conductor
and brakemaii appeared, but were scared
away by bulleto. When the sjsit ln-tween
the trestles was reached, F.xprcss Mes
senger Fage wa ordered to open the door
of the car. He replied with two shots,
which narrowly missed Scott and Lin
coln. The robln-rs threatened to kill the
latter unless Page opened thedmir, which
he did. Page gave up his keys anJ the
robln-rs forced Scott and Lincoln t't carry
the money to the engine, which was un
coupled, boarded anil started toward S:ie
ramciito. Some distance away they
stopxsl and reversing tho engine desert
ed it with the money ami disappeared.
The engine lianged into tho express c-ar
without damage, and tho train was
brought iu here several hours late.
Lincoln says he can identify the rol-In-rs,
and the country is being scoured for
them.
James Colton, a tramp who was lienting
his way to Sacramento from Suisun,
proliably saw more of tho robliery than
any one else. His story is as follows:
"The first thing I knew about any trou
ble was when the torpedo went off. It
seemed to light tho ear. I said to Mau
ley, another tramp, who was riding with
nie on the forward platform of tho blind
'iJgage car. There goes a torpedo; some
thing's wrong. I swung out on the steps
and looked ahead and saw two figures on
the track, swinging lanterns. One had a
red and the other a while lantern. As
the train slowed up, I dimlied up on the
I Kick end of the tender and lay down,
while Haiiley went inside the storm
dmirs. The next thing I saw the two rol-In-rs
run up on each side of the engine.
They were dressed in close-fitting white
suits, wore high, peaked while caps, ex
actly like the pictures I have seen of the
White Caps' iu ta ' lint. They looked
like clowns iu a circus. They had Win
chester nib's, but no pistols or cartridge
belts that I could see. Tho big one tired
his rille off and said to the engineer, Viet
down out of that au l be quick about it.'
The engineer replied: 'I will, I will,
don't kill me, I'll mind you.' The engi
neer aud fireman accompanied the rob
bers, who kept Miking them with their
guns. The tall one said : Viet a move on
you.' They went lmek and uncoupled
tho express car from the others and
brought the fireman and engineer hack to
the engine.
"The tall man stmnl on the platform of
tho express car and said to the engineer :
'Pull out, now, d lively, and go till I
tell you to stop.' tne of the robln-rs kept
his gun aimed nt the engineer and rested
it on my legs without seeing me. It was
an old gun with so large a lmre that I
thought it wax a musket at first. After
we had gone abnit a mile the big man
told the engineer t stop. The big man
(-limited on the tender and saw me for the
first time. He Miintcd his rille at uieand
said : 'Who in the it is this?' I said:
'Don't sIkmiI, mister, I'm only a tramp.'
He told me to keep quiet and 1 would Im
all right Then the men couielled the
engineer and liremait to go liack to the
express car and call the iiiessciig..;-. The
messenger In-gau to sluMtt at once, but
was implored not to by the engineer.
"I saw the four .come liack presently
In-ariug a sack each, and heard the large
man say the sacks weighed aliout "."
pounds though the two carried by the
railroad men were larger than the other
two. They put the sacks on the engine,
told us to get away from the machine and
then they pulled out. As they were
bringing the sacks to the engine the mes
senger fired two shots at them and the
engineer said: 'That d .find will kill
us yet. Tho big robber laughed and
said : "No he won't ; he can't hit the si.lo
of a house.' They were the osdest men
I ever saw. The mouth-opening in the
big fellow's mask was very largj an I I
could see that he had a dark mustache."
Hanley, the other tramp, tells a st try
similar to Colton, although his opportu
nities for seeing were not so go-nl, us he
was behind the st. inn d'Mr most of tii
time.

Bowman and Esher Condemned.
Rkaiuxo, M. li The convention of
the F.ast Pennsylvania conference of the
Cnited F.vaiigclical church, and Row-
man, completed its organization here
this evening. The rules of the old Jrtst
Pennsylvania eonferpm-e of the Kvangcl-ii-al
Assm-iatioii were adopted fiir the gov
ernment iif the denomination. The most
ex'-iting scene of tho two days session
was the adoption of the rcjMirt of the
committee on resolutions, in which Rish
ops F.shcr and Rowmaii are condemned
iu the severest terms and it Is declared
that the only remedy at hand is final sep
aration. The resolutions say that the anti-Ilow-man
people were time and again insult
ed, their offers of arbitration spurned,
their motives impugned, their a-tions
misconstrued, their characters maligned,
Ac It is charged that Rishops Rowman
and Kshcr have "by various means of
ptTsecut ion suspended from the church
men w hose only offense w as a linn, but
Christianlike opMisition to their
schemes."
The next niiti-Rowman annual confer
ence will lie held at Schuylkill Haven,
and it was di-i-ided to call a meeting of
the general conference to convene in Na-
pierville, 111., on the last Thursday of
next mouth.

fcOTJSD KSE.
Why Americans Shojld larueit'y Fsrcr
the Proteotire folicy.
Thomas ft. It-nit, nt New Yok.
lMuentioii is the necessity of the human
race, not Umk cJticalio.i, but isliii.it ion in
th workings of human affairs. My lnt
consolation in these time is that some
lemons aiu being learned not oiii ot !ks,
nit in more solid fashion, out of expe
rience. Nor is the 1csmiS to be learned
only Ly those w ho voted wrong. Some
of us w ho voU-l ri-ht have much to un
derstand ns to t i i j lobu lation of things.
Perhaps the knowledge comes to us iist
enough for practical life. When yenr
ago w e defended protection on the grounds
of infant industries, we stated gmnl
grounds for the establishment of manu
factures, I nit to-day protection is founded,
like the prosperity of the country, uixiit
wages. Iff did not In-lieve that protec
tion, which is not taxation of the many
for the one, hut merely a method of secur
ing to everylnMly In America the markets
of the country, is the Inst methinl of dis
tributing among the people the Gml-giv-en
gifts to enterprise of which our coun
try is so full, I should not ln for it. If I
did not In-liuve that protection was only a
im-thinl of making this country, in the
admirable language of Senator Jones, "do
all of its own work," I should not de
mand its retention. It is erfectly true
that prositerity ofany kind leaiLs to large
fortunes for those w ho have tho genius to
organize great enterprises, but this is the
case everywhere. Sir Joseph Whit worth,
the great steel manufacturer of Kiigland
tlid not die a pauper, and Lord Armstrong
and the Rothchild hardly scciu in the
way i. fillip tvet 1-dimeiiL My consolation
w hen I see great riches for I own up to
the same envy that afflicts my brethren
of those who are ln-tter off than myself
is that all these riches are of no profit to
the ow tiers unless they burld railrouds, or
miils, or dig illumination for the jMMrest
of us out of the bowels of tho earth. The
more prosperity there Is the more thero ia
to distribute, and there is the chance that
the worker, w hether with brain or muscle,
has to wrest from his employer his share. I
am not the author of this idea ; it came
from a Pennsylvania workiiigmau, who
declared before the committee on ways
and means that if congress would only
pass laws which would enable enterprise
to make profits, tho workingmen would
sec that they got their share. And this
very day in the strike which is, or was,
going on in Massachusetts, the very iiasis
of the argument on U nh sides is the price
of gi mm Is, and the consequent profits.
The orators on the other side have al
ways declared that strikes would cease
when they had j,Mwer, but they have not
passed away yet. On tho contrary, more
liMiin in the future than we have ever hail
in the past. Strikes are always unfortu
nate things but not always liad things.
Their sueeess consists not in their victo
ries, but in their existence. Meu who see
their w ay clear to profits will not refuse
reeouiitcnse to tic we they employ when
the great disorganization of a strike is
possible under a sense of injustice on the
part of organized laljor. To borrow again
Mr. F.varts's illustration, the wit of which
is only equalled by it wisdom, the only
way thus far discovered to distribute con
sumable and enjoyable wealth is first to
give theehsnce to create it and then let
cadi side struggle for its share. I do n4
say that this is all there ever w ill In-. I
hope not No one w ill more gladly wel
come than I any method for a fair and
peaceful distribution. Rut there is ono
thing certain, until you have profits they
cannot lie divided.
Why do I desire a fair distribution of
profits? Is it in-cause I profess to In; the
special friend of those wholalMir? Any-ImkIj-
who dms that from a Militical plat
form had ln-tter In? watchct I have no
such motive. My moth e is the g.Msl old
selfish one that such distribution leads to
general prosperity, of v. hich I hope to get
my share.
What is the motive power that lets on
tiie water and feeds in the coal and sets
the machinery in motion? It is the mark
et the capacity for buying, the power of
purchase. IWhciicecomcs that? From the
rich and the iMMir; front the rich a little,
from the pMr much. If you were to give
me alone for myself a mil I ion dollars, I
should not sjMiid ten thousand of it incon
sumable wealth, though I might put it in
to plants, into works or railnuuls ; but if I
were to give you a million dollars, distrib
uted among you all, every cent of it would
In- sK-nt not iu liKims and machinery, but
in the prislucts of liMims nnd machinery.
This is what makes the market the motive
Miwerof production, not the large coiitri
butionsof the few, hut the small contribu
tions of the many. This large market
al -mi makes legitimate cheapness. I say
legitimate cheapm-ss, for a cheapness w ith
no money to buy isa mockery to the soul,
w hile cheapness with gmsl wages is the
delight of life. The br.Kider and richer
the market the more of each article will
ln consumed, and the more there are con
sumed the cheaper such will I e made.
Machinery has its foundation on this.
Yi u would not build a machine to make
a single axe handle. You could make it
infinitely cheaper by hand. A machine
means a half million axe handles. Most
manufacturers realize these things aud
the grind fact that gmsl wages, so titr front
ln-ing hostile to their progress, is its very
foundation. When mamifai-turers all see
their interest that way we shall witness
the happy death, for this country at least,
of tliat old MIiticnl economy din-trine
that profits are deienilent on low wages.
H isiness prosperity will then come from
extension of business and not from the
diminution of wages.
