TO the Editor Of the woRE ISeNAS's ADyOCArs.


A REPLY.
In the ADVOCATE of last week | find
a critic Of my article on the mould, of
last month. am pleased to see that
the Importance Of the matter is felt as
far as Toledo, O., and am glad that my
request to discuss this grave question il
so speedily complied with though
much obliged to the writer, | can
not evade giving him slight correction
concerning the course he persues
The insinuation he passes on my
personal integrity I can afford to pass
in silence but, when he calls my argu-
ment inconsistent, on account Of the
signature, | take pleasure to state that
| never deny the misfortune the mould
brings to the trade, and no man is able

willing the thieves shall escape with
their plumber, but we say the work OF
plumber must stop. This is what we
mean by leveling up, ana this level
ing up must be effected by lower rate
of interest, and an entire change IN our
monetary system. This change we will
have by one means or another. The
bleeding operation has been going own
long enough, the patient is tired Of it,
and demands that it be abandoned. We
are for a peaceabe solution of this prob
lem but if there must be blood letting,
it shall be on the other side.
Confscation,or organism is no part Of
our plan. but it does not require very
great stretch of the imagination to pic
ture the lamp posts in Wall street, or
namented with the bloated carcasses of
the money shavers, gold gamblers and
land sharks who are robbing the gov
eminent and the people. Labor is fore
ed into an unnatural and degrading po-
sitlOn. 1t is at the bottom Of the hill
instead of at the top. The products Of
labor are sifted like corn through a
ladder labor gets what sticks to the
rings. Out of this unnatural position
we desire to get-through the ballot
bOx-and by peaceable means if posi-
bic ; but we mean to get out, even if to
DO SO involves the cutting off of a few
heads. If this is a DEPRESSION from the
subject, ask the readers pardon.

IMPORTANT TO CIGAR MAKERS.

In its appropriate place will be found
the call for the Fourth Annual Conven-
ton of the Cigar Makers international
Union, which meets at Boston, Mass,
September 4th. To this call we direct
the especial attention of every local
union, and trust they will recognize the
Importance Of being represented there
at. From present indications, the en-
suing Convention will be the largest
ever held in this country, while the sub
jects to be brought before it will Ger
tainly render it the most important.
There are a class of men in our Local
unions who will neither dance nor hold
the candle; who, from indifference OF
parsmony, frequently allow the cleo
ton Of delegate to 60 by default; and
yet, strange to say, these are the very
parties who breed dissension and growl
and grumble over anything that is done
by the representatives OF those unions
which have performed their duty.
Among the more important questions
which are likely to engross the sPecia
attention of the Convention are the I'M
Just and oppressive tax which has al
most paralyzed the industry of thu
craft the "mould" controversy; the sat
isfactory settlement of the Cincinnati
and other strikes; and the increasing
in-importance "Coolie F" traffic; all o
which require prudence, backbone
honesty and intelligence. 1t is, there
fore, all-impOrtant that every uniol
should be represented, and prepared t
meet the issues Of interest to the trade

A Rising and Excited Market for Broom
Corn.


1t is not known to be q positive fact that
the recent fire in Chicago destroyed $500
ton of broom corn, and the excitement of
Monday and Tuesday continues, and prices
have still further largely advanced. In
fact. it is almost impossible to buy even
common grades under II to Is cents per
pound. kilograms come pouring in to
holders in this market from the growers in
the West ordering their brush held for
fabulous prices. The crop of 1871 is well
known to be partial failure-it being es-
timated by the most liberal and best posted
dealers at not over One-tnird but the inn
mense stock of old corn that was held in
Chicago prevented prices from materially
advancing, although it was generally con-
coded that they would have been high
anyhow later in the season, but now, since
the destruction of about one-fourth the
entire stock in the United States, it is fair
to presume we shall have the tallest prices
for broom coin known since the war.
Messrs. J. M. Atwater & Bro, of No. 16
Park street, have received kilograms from
all their Chicago correspondents, stating
the loss variously at from 1000 to $500
tons, and ordering all the brush held by
them, both in New York and in their
Philadelphia house, withdrawn from the
market. One large receiver on the west
side was offered 122 cents cash to-day for
entire stock, which, two weeks ago, would
not have averaged over Scents, and refused
to sell. We anticipate an active market
and high prices for the balance of the sea-

THE NORTHERN FIRES.
More than a Thousand Persons Burned to
Deafh

DETROIT, Oct 13.-Full particulars of
the burning of Nanistee on Sunday night
are received.
About 10 o'clock the FIRE engine gave
out, after which the flames ravaged, with
out resistance, the helpless town. The
wind was blowinga gale all night The
loss is estimated at nearly million dol
lars, on which there is but $4,000 insur-
ance. The suffarings of the people are be-
yond description. Manistee being so far
beyond immediate communication that
considerable time passed before their wants
could be made known. The people of
Grand Rapids and Grand Haven promptly
supplied Immediate necessities, and Sena-
tor Ferry and the Mayor of Grand Rapids
have issued an earnest appeal to the peo-
pie of the whole State for aid. They say
the latest news from Manistee more than
confirms all previous reports of the suffer
ing there existing. The necessities of the
people are imperative. They need i'm
mediatly flour, meal, and clothing.
Direct all supplies to Senator Ferry,
Grand Haven. A good vessel will convey
all contributions from Grand. Haven to
Manistee. The people of Detroit. and
other cities in Michigan, are nobly re-
spending to the appeals made to their gen.
erosity. A car load of provisions leaves
here tonight for Grand Haven. One goes
from Lansing in the morning. Large
quantities of clothing, bedding and pro-
visions are forwarded by boats to Port
Huron, Lexington, and Port Sanilac, for
the relief of the hundreds of destitute con-
gregated at those places.
Later reports from Holland announce
that the Rev. Mr.. Scott is safe, and it is
now believed no lives were lost at the
burning of that town.
EVANSVILLE WIS. Oct. Ex-Governor
Fairchild telegraphed the following from
Green Bay in relation to the Wisconsin
fire tonight:
The appalling calamity has not been
exaggerated. Over three thousand men,
women and children are now destitute.
The less of life has been very great. Not
less than five hundred persons have been
burned at Peshtigo and vicinity, and
three hundred on the eastern shore. Scores
of men, women an / children are now in
temporary hospitals, burned and manned.
We want money, clothing, bedding, boots,
shoes, provisions of all kinds, not cooked,
building materials, and everything needed
by family to commence life with. The
people are responding nobly, but there is
no danger of too much being received. The
destitute must be provided for during the
winter.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 13.-Col. C.. D. Rob-
inson, of the Green Bay AdUocate, tele-
graphs Mayor LudingtOn as follows:
The Northern steamer is just in. DR..
Nichols, of your city, and other passen-
gers, bring terrible news that four hundred
and seventy dead bodies have been found
at Peshtigo and vicinity, and it is thought
that the loss of life will reach seven hum
dred This is exclusive of the east shore,
where the loss of life is fearful.
