Tlic caiupuign that has just closed

iM'uiuisfs ill Use past aud living up

The British Government Prepsired
to Expend $1,500,900 For the
Unemployed.
Montreal Standard.
The very serious matter of the
unemployed in Kngland came up for
discussion in the House of Com
mons a few days ago for a larger
dole of money tluin last year and the
( xpediting of the naval ship-build
ing programme were the only expe-
reviriion of the tarift, which was
promised in the iiepublican plat-
lorm, has been under way for sever
al months aud that Chairman Payne
of the Ways and Means Committee,
of the House of Represntatives, has
been diligently working through the
summer and tall in preparation of
in his uufonlding of the goveria-
laeni’s plan to meet the situation
The gravity of the case arising fr^^m
the fact that hundreds of thousands
are i.in the verge of starvation
through lack of work was fully re
cognized by the premier, but he said
he could not undertake, in the leg-
the bill that will remove the inequal-I igijjtive field, to grapple with the
ities of the existing tariff and at the
same time afford the necessary pro
tection. It is understood that the
tariff on steel and iron maehinery
wiU be reduced about one-lourth
and that the tarifl* on woolen gar
ments will also be reduced as well
as the tariff on binding twine, wire
naits aud farming machinery.
Another advanced step to be tak
en immediately is the establishment
of postal savinj^s banks so that mill

pecially w'omen and children, who
have saved up a few dollars aud

insures its safety aud receive a siuaii
interest of 2 per cent, w'hich will be
a great impros^eme:;t over' tUe old
way of hiding it m an old stocking.
This will bring millions and mill
ions of dollars out of hiding places
and thus keep this money in circu
lation.
Another advanced step of reform
that the incoming administration will
aoiiomplish, is the establishment of

next session. The government, be
said, was prepared to provide a fund
of f 1,500,000 to help the unem
ployed and the admiralty was giv
ing out orders for the construction
of nine torpedo boat destroyers and
five unarmored cruisers, to cost a
total of 112,500,000, two months
earlier than originally had been in
tended.
The premirr made also a bid for
recruits, saying that the war office
was ready to take on 24,000 men
for winter training in the special re
serves.
These proposals quite fail to meet
the demands of the labor members
of the house.

ad Case of a Rockingham county
Candidate Who Gat Left' in Count.
it is stated that a Democratic
candidate for an office in Rocking
ham county was so confident of his
election that he leased his farm,
rented a house ’u Worth, sowed rye,,
and packed his household goods pre
paratory to moving. He awoke the
moruiog after the election to find
that he was defeated, and probably

One of the largest manufacturing
concerns in Louisville Kentucky
now emloying live thousand hands
w'ill increase its force by another
thousand in the near future. This
firm states had Mr. Taft not been
elected more than fitty per cent of
the present employees would be w'ith
out work.
A Chicago manufacturing plant
has made the following assertion:
“Taft’s election will compel fifty
per cent increase of factory labor.
Merehan, Schuett, Parker aud
Company, a big Inmbcr concern of
Saginaw Mich, has made the asser-
o ^
tion that Mr. Taft’s election will in
crease their employes by twenty-
five per cent.
A large manufacturing plant at
Birmingham Ala. state that since
Taft’s election they will work from
three to five hundred more hands.
An iron and steel w'ork at Buffalo
state that they expect to add four
iiundred and fifty men to their pre
sent force by Deceaiber the first,
A manufacturing concern at
Worcester, Mass., said that it would
add two hundred men to its forco.
A chemical company of Loston
said that it would take on one hun
dred and fifty men.
A steel company at Columbus, O.,
said that it would double its force
by December the first.
A lumber company of Seattle
Wanh., states that it will be able to
add two hundred eaiployees since
Taft’s election.
Commenting on these replies, now
made public, this statement was
made today by the association:
The percentage of replies re-
coivetl shows that at least one-half
of the 15.,000 members of the
National Association of Manufac
turers expect to add to their pres
ent force more than 200,000 work-
ingpjen. Taking; this as a basis, it
IS safe to assume that the 13,000
manufacturers, which, according to
the census of 1900, f>mployed an
average of 100 men or over will add
at least 50 pur cent, to their pres
ent force, making a total in round
numbers of 650,000 men. In other
words, with the continuance of bus
iness confidence the important inau-
ufjicturing interest of the country
will be enabled to increase their
present force by more than 600,-
000 workingmen to meet the mark
et demands for their products.

A Wonderful Loop.
Chsirlotte Observer,
Mr. J. Norment Powell, general
counsel of the Carolina, Ciinchfield
& Ohio road, tells the Spartanburg
H( raid a story that would seem iu-
crtdible to thost. who are not fam-
ilinr w'ith the great loop on the
road. On his first trip over the
rowd, in a regular passenger train,
he sat on the rear platform. Sud
denly his hat blew off. The con
ductor against his protest, stopped
the train aud sent the flagman back
for the hat. To the surprise of Mr.
Powell the conductor pulled the
cord and started the train.
“Your surely are not going ;o
leave your flagman!’^ exclaimed Mr.
Powell.
“Oh! yes,” replied the oonductor.,
“he will overtake us.”
The train was soon going at
thirty miles an hour, but in twenty
minutes stopped and the flagmaa
got aboard. He had walked down
a steep path about six hundred feet
aud got aboard the train he had
left nine miles back, and, as the
conductor said, had overtaken the
train and waited fully ten minutes
for it besides.
People who have observed this
remarkable loop can easily believe
Mr.PowelPs story. As one point
where he lost his hat one can toss a
rook to the track below, yet it is
nine miles around the loop. The
