The Re- telligent American citizens, for M1 a think that a dollar a day is enough for any man, provided that his work is steady. Any man can live on that and that is all skilled labor is worth. I am sorry I have to pay more than that, and wouldn't if we had a better supply of labor hereabouts. Judge Alton Brooks Parnominee for president d ker, Democratic of the United States. (New York Daily Globe correspondent at Esopus.) This statement was made by Judge Parker at his home, Esopus, N. Y., in Emory Freers grocery store. Freer Sam E. Mott, a butcher; Lew '! himself, r;l Boothe, a barber; Carl Winser, a baggageman on the West Shore railroad, i. 4 and several farmers were present ,.a when this statement was made. re4 Ordinary labor was at that time ceiving in that vicinity $1.60 per day iili and the Question being asked, Judge Parker unhesitatingly answered that a dollar a day was enough for any kind of a man. He regretted exceedingly that, owing to the scarcity of labor in the township, he was obliged to pay in excess of one dollar a day for men to work at his home grounds. This is the champion of labor i . publican party doesnt believe that a dollar a day is enough for any man, and it never will. The aim of the Republican party, and of its great courageous leader is to protect the American workingman and his family from cheap foreign labor and its productions and to see that he is paid every cent his labor is entitled to. The Republican party demands that he be decently housed, his family well fed and clothed, and that his children have every benefit of our free school sys in- to them must be intrusted the future of the greatest republic the world has ever seen. There is no one dollar a day sentiment in the Republican party. It is for the highest wages obtainable and therefore, it has for years advocated protection for American industry and protection for American workingmen, and it will continue to do so. W.

In the church a Sucsany, Austria, Herr and Frau Debos, senior, celebrated their golden wedding; their son Mathias and his wife their silver wedding; and the latters daughter was married, all on the same day. S;,M i , President Roosevelt doesn't talk very much about these things, but he has ever been an open advocate for the highest wages obtainable by the American workingman skilled or unskilled and every act of his administration bearing on this subject has been for the bettermen of his class. The man who toils and whose calloused hands bear mute evidence of his vocation is to him just as important in this great nation as the man who counts gold over the counter, and his appeals will receive just as much consideration. Roosevelt is essentially the president of the people and he is an American from head to foot. He is in cordial sympathy with those who earn their bread by toil. It is his endeavor to advance the conditions of the laboring man, for he and his fellow laborers are the real vitals of this great republic, and all other avocations are subordinate and dependent. The laboring man of America, whether he be a farmer, artisan, the begrimed toiler of the coal creature who mine, or the swelters in the fierce glare of the fur nace, is the uncrowned king of his country and upon him will forever depend its destinies. President Roosevelt has never said Remember that we carry the largest and cliolceat line writ or Chicago.

The worker in a Massachusetts factory gets 27 per cent of what he produces, while the laborer In South Car olina gets only 19 per cent; yet the Massachusetts laborer produces id one year $715 more for his employer than the laborer in South Carolina. Now, half-nake- d h! n ; foisted upon the Democratic party by David B. Hill, anotner celebrated champion of labor. A dollar a day is enough for any laboring man, according to the distinguished gentleman of Esopus and the silent nominee of the Democracy. If he has a steady job at a dollar a day the laborer can, of course, pay his rent for a room in a tenement house; fare his family sumptuousxy on potatoes, bread and water; school his children in the back alleys; feed his livestock on tin cans mid old rubber boots with an occasional theatrical poster thrown in as dessert; grow a pitiful geranium as his lawn; make little Tommy wear his own cast off trousers; have Susie wear the skirt Mamie outgrew 'four years ago; have a good time generally, and feel loyal to his country and hurrah for his party. But in order to do all this he must have a steady job at a dollar a day, according to Judge Parker. If the laborer is so unfortunate as to have no steady job the bread and potatoes must be omitted from the family bill of fare. There is always plenty of water. ; Indias Exports.
