My, McKinley has always been the friend of lubor and Senator Stewart was entirely correct in saying that the y ident has, through his long public ca- reer, done everything in his power for the benefit of labor. During his entire term of service in the house of representatives Mr, McKin ley was recognized s the champlon of the rights of labor. On August 28, 1800, be advocated, on the floor of the house, a bill giving fol and effect to the law providing t It hours shall constitute a day's work for cmployes of the government, On that occasion Mr. MeKinley safd: “ it must be re membered that when we constitute vk, instead of ten | hours, every four days give an addition al day's work to some workingman who not have any employment at all, It is one more day's work, one more day's more opportunity for work | wages, an inereased demand for | labor. The governmeut of the United States,” he continued, “ought fimally and in good faith, to set this example | of eight hours us constituting a duy’s work requived of laboring men in the + of the United States, ‘The ten dency of the times the world over is for | shorter hours for labor, shorter hours in the interest of health, shorter hours in the interest of humanity, shorter hours in the interest of the home and the family and the United St do no better service to lubor and to its own citizens than to set the example to states, to corporations and in dividuals employing men, by declaring that, so far as the government s con ned, elght hours shall constitute a day's wors and be all that is required of its laboring force.” McKinley was at that time the leader of the house and s speech had the effect of securing for the bill a unaniwons vote when it came to passage. Mr. McKinley's advocacy of the policy of protection had in view the interests of American labor in supplying a market for it and in maintaining a higher standard of wages than that of any other country. Four years ago he in- sisted that the welfare of labor, then suffering from idleness and low wages, required the opening ot the mills aud results have wost fully vindicated his| policy. McKinley Is still the friend of labor, still desires its tmprovement and | elevation, and the attempt to wake labor belleve that the republican administra tion is in the remotest degree respon- sible for the unfortunate conflict be | Nebrasku 1o overzealous member of the populist branch of the reform family will, in his mad enthusiasm, crowd in upon the speaker, for fear of marring the immaculate polish on his boots or intercepting the reflections from diumond-studded fewelry. his mid-road populists have secured a order affirming their right to a on the official ballot under the “populist” und holding that there law which prevents them from using that designation.

Millions of tons were mined | and sold at less than cost, and the heaviest | blow fell upon labor; but now by organiza- | tion the output of the coal {s absolutely | controlled to prevent loss to tae producers.
