DEPRECATED GOLD CoIN.-The re-
port Of the Assayer Of the United
States Mint contains some interesting
information In regard to the various
methods of counterfeiting gold coins,
or abstracring from them n part Of
their value. In II lot Of $1,000 there
we're thirty-four double eagles. Two
of these had been burned or blistered,
but as they we're very slightly under
weight the object of the roasting has
not been discovered. The other pieces
were all from 10 to 90 grains light
that Is, reduced from 40 to 80 cents In
value. One was filed smoothly nearly
all around the outer edge, but all the
Others retained the "milling" which
had been restored after the filing. In
this way fifty cents worth Of gold was
taken from each without Sensibly d.
miuishing Its diameter. In one or two
cases, where from 22}9a to 5S}I grains
had been taken away, the eye would
detect the loss. One piece was reduced
by the use of acid. This treatment
makes the surface rough, so that 1t Is
easily detected. In the SAME lot there
were ten eagles which had been filed,
and two treated with acid, the latter
being quite spoiled. A number Of
counterfsits were found In the same
lot. The best piece was light only 2H
grains, but some Of Its lettering was
very bad. This piece contained about
80 per cent. pure gold, the genuine
coin containing 90 per cent. Some Of
the poorer pieces contain only about
so per cent. Another lot Of coins had
been split and filed with platinum.
The best method OF detecting filled or
counterfeit plecesi 10 BY finding their
specific gravity BY weighing In water.

England eighteen hundred years ago was too
prevalent still in our own laws, and it was most
proper for Massachusetts, which had led the
van in every reform, to take the first step in up
roofing the evil. We had in this country got
rid of the old law OF primogeniture but ii was
our duty to 90 further and abolish the law of
hereditary descent Of property altogether, so
that all property at the deceaSe of the owner
should 80 to the state or to the public, afford
ing an opportunity for every member of the
future generation to start out upon life on more
equal terms.
Quoting from the bill OF rights of our state,
art. 6. he said while it abolished hereditary titles
and stated that "the idea of man born magis-
trate, lawgiyer, or judge is absurd and I'M
NATURAL" the words cor capitalist should be
inserted, on the principle that a native inhertor
Of property is equally contrary to natural right.
All wealth was the product of labor, he said, and
belonged to those who performed the labor.
The speaker alluded to strikes among working
men as not practical way of remedying the
evils complained of, which could be removed
only by regular course of law, or rather by
change ofthe laws by means of political organi-

LABOR MATTERS.
BERLIN, Oct 30.-The increasing activity of
trades organizations is evinced by the large
number of strikes which have extended to al
most every branch of labor, and have been con-
Quoted on the part of the workingmen with a
yigor and spirit hitherto uneXampled in this
country. While in some cases the workmcn
have failed to compel the masters to yield to
their demands, they have in majority of cases
succeeded in eflecting compromises which vrtu-
ally gave them the victory. 1t is reported that
in consequence of the increase in the number of
these strikes, and the unsettled condition of
trade interests by reason of their long continu-
ance, Prince Bismarck contemplates the inau-
guration of measures for the suppression of all
workingmen's societies throughout the empire.
