Alfred Dolge's Suggestion.
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION PASSED RESO-
LUTIONS FAVORING A NATIONAL LABOR
;
AND INSURANCE SYSTEM.
'X'HE suggestions made by Mr. Alfred
^ Dolge at the annual reunion of his em-
ployees in the early part of this year, anent
the adoption of a national labor and insur-
ance pension system, have, as we predicted
at the time, won the favorable criticism
and support of some of the leading think-
ers and political economists. At the eighth
annual convention of the Republican
League of the State of New York, held last
week in Binghamton, among the resolu-
tions proposed was the following:
WHEREAS, It is important to the nation
that all measures consistent with Consti-
tutional regulation should be taken to im-
prove the condition of the wage-earner, by
raising the standard of living, thereby
elevating the standard of intelligence.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Republican League
of the State of New York in convention as-
sembled do recommend and heartily in-
dorse the proposition for the establish-
ment of a national labor, insurance and
pension system.
ot the great political parties is a commend-
able move, for it will command the support
of wage earners who look upon Mr. Dolge
as their friend.
Express Themselves Delighted
With the New Scale Steck
r
HE new scale Steck pianos have made
a veritable sensation in the trade. Let-
ters continue to reach the manufacturers
testifying to their remarkable quality of
tone, and the satisfaction which they have
given in every detail. Among the many
complimentary testimonials received re-
cently was one from Edmund Gram, the
well-known dealer of Milwaukee, who
writes to Geo. Steek & Co. as follows:
Dear Sirs—The last shipment of uprights
and one grand was received in good order.
We are very much pleased with the new
scale; it certainly is a great improvement
on the one used heretofore. Musicians in
this city have expressed themselves de-
lighted with the instruments, and we al-
ways take great pleasure in conducting
visitors to our "Steck Room." We regret
that the backs of the pianos are covered,
which hides the excellent workmanship
and beauty of construction. We wish you
all possible success.
This is indeed a marked compliment to
Mr. Dolge. Few men have done more
ROBT. M. WEBB, who is on a business
toward the settlement of the warfare exist- trip to London and Paris, will leave for
ing between capital and labor than Mr. home on the 21st inst, arriving in New
Dolge, and the adoption of his plan by one York about the 28th.

JOSEPH VON JENNEY, dealer in pianos
and organs, Mexico City, Mex., is in town,
He left a large order for Haynes and
Muehlfeld pianos, six of which were
shipped this week. The "Muehlfeld" is a
great favorite in Mexico.
JOHN D. PEASE, of the Pease Piano Co.,
is on a short trip to Chicago. Business
with the "Pease" is exceedingly good.
FELIX KREAMER, traveling representative
for Kranich & Bach, will leave early next
week on a six months' trip, which will em-
brace all the Western States. As Mr.
Kreamer feels like a new man, having
fully recovered his health, he can be ex-
pected to do some "tall hustling" for the
Kranich & Bach piano during his trip.
THE handsome face of S. Nordheimer,
of A. & S. Nordheimer, of Toronto, takes
the place of honor in the souvenir issued in
connection with the great Saengerfest
which closed at Toronto last Wednesday.
A. D. COE & Co., Cleveland, O., is an
enthusiastic admirer of the Colby piano.
He has had quite a success with it.
THE Oglesby Piano Co., Chester, Pa.,
which was recently organized, has leased a
factory at Sixth and Vine streets, and has
started in to manufacture.
GEO. C. ADAMS, of the McCammon
Piano Co., has been making a record dur-
ing his recent Western trip. He has estab-
lished several new agencies and taken a
book full of orders. This looks like busi-
ness.
