"By the President ot the United Stale* of

America:

“A PROCLAMATION. “It baa plenaed Almighty God to bring the American people in safety and honor, through another year, and, in accordance with the long unbroken custom nanded down to ns by onr forefathers, the time has come .when a special day shall be art apart in Which to thank Him who holds all nations in the hollow of his hand for the mercies thus ▼onchsafed to ns. “Daring the century and a quarter of our national life we. aa a people, hare been blessed beyond all others, and for this we owe bumble and heartfelt thanks to the Antbor of all blessings. The year that has closed has been one of peace within onr our borders, as well as between us and all other nations. The harvests have been Abundant, and those who work whether with hand or brain are prospering greatly. “Reward has waited npon honest effort. We have been waited upon to do onr dnty to onrselees and to others. Never has there teen a time when religions and charitable effort has been more evident. Much has 1 been given to us. and much will be expect-

ed from us.

“We speak of what has been done by this nation in no spirit of boastfulness or vainglory, but with fnll and reverent realisation that onr strength is as nothing unless we are helped from above. Hitherto we have been given the heart and the strength to do the tasks alloted to ns as they sever ally aroee. We are tbankfnl for all that has been done foy ns In the past, and we pray that in the future we may be strengt hened in the unending struggle to do onr dnty fearlessly and honestly with charity and good will, with respect for ourselves and with tore toward onr fellow men. “In this great Republic the effort to cotnbtnc follonal rtrength with personal freedom to being tried on a scale more gigantic than ever before in the world’s his-

What feeders Ray. “A Labor Standard reporter, has Interviewed during the past few dry* a nuuilter of men prominent In the labor world upon the principles Involved In the action taken by the two central I todies mentioned above and will quote them herewith: “Richard Pattison. president of the Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers’ International aaaortotlon: T believe that the action token by tbe Mercer County Central Labor union and tbe methoda used by. tbe Allied Building Trades council of Philadelphia are entirely foreign to the principles of orgnnixed labor. The labor movement. If auch methods are followed/ will aimply deteriorate into a cog in tbe wheel of tbe political machinery of parti-

Sintom.’

“Henry J. Gottlob, vice president of the State Federation of Labor: The gross injustice perpetrated on Senator Stokes by tbe action of the Mercer County Central Labor union calls for the condemnation of every fair minded man in the labor movement in New Jersey. I was one of tbe committee that waited upon Senator Stoke* at the time of the rubber workers - strike, and I txdleve that the senator did all In hto power to adjust the differences to the satisfaction of the rubber workers: that be failed was due to no laxity of effort npon bis part, and he to certainly deserving of tbe gratitude of tbe' rubber workers rather than their condemnation.' “

mankind: and every man or woman in onr land should feel 'the grave responsibility resting npon him or her, for in the last analysis this anooea* must depend npon tbe high average of onr indivMnal citizenship, npon the way in which each of ns does bis doty by himself and hto neighbor. “Now, therefore, 1, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, do hereby appoint And set apart Thursday, the 34th of this November, to be ol served as a day of festival and thanksgiving by all the people of the United States at home or abroad, and do recommend that on that day they cease from their ordinary

That to not true. Every sensible workingman knows that It to tbe protective policy which keeps up wages. He knows that If protection were (toiled. as tbe Democratic party prok*. wages to tbe United States would go down toward the level of wages In Europe. Protection benefits labor more than any other interests. This can be plainly shown. Everybody knows that when labor prospers It put* Its savings In savings banka and in life Insurance benefit associations. Tbe savings banka represent tbe savings of labor. In 1880 tbe total amount of deposits in savings banks In the United States was 8819,000.000, in 1890 It was 81.525,000,000 and In 1003 In other words. In'1903 It was nearly twice as mtocb as it was In 1890 and three and a half times as much as it was In 1880. Now, tbe whole wealth of tbe United States In 1903 was only a little over half aa mneb again aa It was to 1890 and only a little over twice what it was in 1880—that to to say, while tbe savings of labor increased three and a half times tbe general wealth only

doubled.

This shows that the growth of labor savings was faster than tbe general growth of wealth. It shows that the workingmen were steadily increasing their share In tbe general prosperity. It completely answers tbe untrue statement that “the rich are growing richer and tbe poor are growing poorer.” What to true to that tbe whole body of tbe people are growing better off, and tbe working people with tbe rest This can be shown to another way.
