drinking custom, and to save the young
men, so many Of whom are pursuing the
same course once pursued by drunkards,
and are going swiftly to 6ll the ranks of
the vast army of drunkards. many of
whom are called daily from the life of
drun&srd to drunkards doom. We as
citizens, have trust committed to our
care; we are responsible in great meas

ards, who are now the youth of our land,
if we fail to maks use of proper means
within our power to place the tempting
bowl beyond their reach, SO that they
may become temperance men and if we
cannot rave the fallen we may save others
from falling. BY Local Option we have

It is stated as an illustration Of how
unnecessary extreme poverty may often
be, that when Mr.. Melley, NJ p, the
other day, in Liverpool. collected some
thirty street arabs to free luncheon, they
were found ragged and filthy in the ex-
treme, and in pitable state of ignorance
while the atmosphere they created was
so fetid as to be hardly endurable by the
benevolent entertainers. And yet it was
ascertained that the earnings of nearly
half of the parents of these boys aver

FROM SBUE6H.

PITrs :CRGB. Mo-. p, 773.
To the Editor Of the woKKNaxAN ADVOCATE
The screel bill Of Pennsylvania and its
requirements have been a question Of CO.. :
tention and dispute since it became law.
On the 25th of June last, the day it went in
to effect, grand demonstration took place
to celebrate its passage.
The custom was cents per bushel on
he railroads, over inch screen, and on
the river cents, with the same screen.
The miners in convention asked that the
screens be changed to irch, and that the
rates be 81 cents per bushel, which was a
reduction to the railroad men and a cor
responding advance to the Tver men; and
also that where The | inch screen was used
the rates be cents tor lump and cents for
nut. In this way they Hoped to bring the
price Of mining on an equality.
The railroad operators changed the
screens and paid the rates. The river OPP
orators refused to change the screens or
r, ooZnize the nut coal as merchantable.
The question stood in this way some
eight weeks, when the railroad men, think
ing that the river men were not likely to
get the rates asked for, determined on
having an advance equal to the old cent
rates, the difference being cent. They
asked for it and got it.
BY this time the effects Of the money

The BRAIDWooD TROUBLE.

During the past week the owner Of a one
horse mine in Braidwood, ILL.,. who never
employed more than fifty men, has been
advertising in some Of the city papers for
100 miners, accompanied with the proviso
that no unionist need apply. From the
officers of the Miners Association we learn
that the cause Of the difficulty il an at
tempt on the part Of Mr. King the pro-
prietor. to cut the wages Of the men from
81. % to S1.00 per ton, to which they very
naturally object A good miner can make
from 800 to ST. per day, and not Sc. 90
as has been falsely stated; and moreover,
we are credibly informed that the black
legs now working there do not Average
more than $3.50 per day -
OF course no honorable man acquainted
with the facts of the case will allow him
self to be duped by this unmitigated hum
bug. Miners, when union men are want
ed at Braidwood the ADVOCATE will be the
first medium to convey such intel, gence
In the meantime, laugh and grow fat over
Mr. Kings silly attempt to deceive you.

SPEECH OF ANDREW ROY,
BEFORE THE
Church NIL Labor Reform Union, Nov. M

70 the Editor Of the WoRKNaNAS's ADVOCATE.
WORTHY CHAIRMAN We are met here
tonight for the highest and noblcst pur-
pose which could cal American citizens to-
gether-the amelioratiOn Of American La
Dor Az n the multitude Of counsellors
there is safety, propose to address you
briefly on this vitality absorbing question.
doubly absorbing in these hard times.
Workingmen suffer under many and griev-
Gus wrongs, and we are banded together to
endeavor to lift these burdens from the
backs Of the laboring class. But while
directing our effoI IS against the encroach-
ments Of capital and the corruptions Of
legislation, let us not loose sight Of the
burdens which we have imposed upon our
lelves, and which weigh us down to the
earth like an incubus. We are disposed to
look upon our employers as our worst enc
mies-as men who care nothing for us, or
our interests, and who would reduce us 70
the loweat ebb Of degradation and seryi-
tude, y they were not checked by combi
nations of working men. But, worthy
President, we have greater enemy than
the capitalists. We are our own worst en-
emies. We impose upon ourselves a spe-
cies Of tyranny and oppression which
the meanest and the worst opera
tor never dreams of under taking.
The coal mines of the Church Hill Coal
Company have been in operation for the
past five years. During all that time there
has been q truck store here, for which the
coal company have kept the store accounts
of the miners, charging per cent. for SO
doing. Surprising this store to have aver
aged monthly sales to the amount Of ten
thousand dollars, (slO, COO, and that is not
too high an estimate, the company each
month makes FIVE hundred dollars by this
operation; and in the past five years have
realized the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars from this source. just think Of it,
thirty thousand dollars of the money Of
the men Of Church Hill being thus pur-
loine1. Here il food for reflection. And

worse passions Of the human heart, carry
ing misery, want and suffering in it's train.
Our working people are opposed to war
and are in favor Of arbitration-not that
they are less patriotic than our so-called
politicians. but because they have endured
the miseries that follow in the wake of all
wars. Let our Congressman also be op-
posed to it and throw their influence on
the side Of the humanizing teachings Of
civilization.
The monetary question will also, or
should, at least, claim a considerate por-
ton of the attention of Congress. The
late panic has opened the eyes Of a great
many of our working people to the made
quacy and inefiiciency Of our present hIsan-
cial system. They cannot conceive there
is any real cause for the present panic.
They are told that there is more currency
outstanding than is sufficient to conduct
the business Of the country, and yet in all
manufacturing sections the great mills and
manufactures are closing because they can
not $50 they say) get the money to transact
business Now if this is fact, there
must be something radically wrong in our
monetary system. And there as something
wrong, and very great wrong it is, too.
We are working upon a borrowed system
"a foreign system Of finance, a system
which may answer very well for a stunted
principally, whose few politicians hive ON
the labors of its industrial classes. Our
industrial classes demand true American
monetary system-a system which will ig-
more gold as the basis Of value, and give a
medium of exchange based on the whole
wealth Of the republic-not subject to
manipulations of Wall street or any othe
money centre Of the world.
Our farmers need cheap money and
cheap transportation and this, in finan
cial point Of view, is what our working
men and farmers will demand at the hands
OF their representatives in Congress. Our
farmers and workingmen must be on the
watch for more "big jobs The '1obby"
viii be very active in their efforts to obtain
special legislation for their special constitu-
ents. Whenever such an effort is discov-
cred the workingmen's ''unions" and ''far-
mers' oranges" should roll up their pro-
tests by the million. and let it be dis
tinctly understood that their wishes cannot
be disregarded with IMMUNITY
During the coming session OF Congress,
we will not fail to do our duty; we will
keep our readers posted on all the import
ant topics which may be brought before
it, and such speeches as We deem worthy,
OF have a tendency to enlighten our read
ers on the great questions Of the day, we
shall publish in full in our columns In
this course We ask no favors, and will
grant none The faithful servant will be
( commended the charlatan and mammon-
serving triokster will be exposed.

CUR NEXT CONGRESS.

Before another issue Of TIE ADVOCATE
appears Congress will have assembled in
the Capital Of the Republic and the COM
plicated nature Of many Of the questions
which will be brought up for discussion
will doubtless make it one Of the most IN
teresting sessions, to the workingmen Of
this country, that has ever been held.
The Spanish imbroglio will afford dem
Onstrative and warlike members an oppor-
tunity to intimidate sixth-rate European
power and gvie the country an exhibition
Of their warlike proclivities, while they,
like ON former occasions, keep a long way
from the scene OF action
Our workingmen have to look at war
from different standpoint; to them war
means sacrifice Of life, family and home;
to those who may, perchance, survive the
battlefield, or have the good fortune to
stay at home, it foreshadows debt and
taxation, with concessions to the monopo-
lists and moneyocracv.
War, whether foreign or domestic, is the
stepping-stone to monarchy; the Parent Of
decentralization and corruption, and the
destroyer Of industry. The age for frivo-
lous wars has passed; the world in it's
march Of progressive has discovered anoth-
er and better method to settle the dis
putes Of nations. Arbitration has re-
ceived its birth at the hands Of civilization,
and is now recognized by the most enlight-
ened nations of the earth. War, at best,
is relic Of barbarism. appealing to the

Hubbard Mills have closed. and we fear
the Wheatland Mill will shortly do like

naces are out Of blast, and most Of the

organized this valley and enrolled from

panic became serious question, ard in
convention a resolution was adopted in
which the river men were to resume work
on the old rates. In view Of this fact the
railroad operators resolved to reduce the
price Of mining to 3 40 cents per bushel,
which they claim in equal TO the rates on
the river.
A convention was called to consider the
matter, and its members resolved to held
out for cents per bushel
At present writing there are compare
lively few men at work. those that are
working are in on the 3 2-lO rates.
There are some twelve works on the Pan
Handle, all idle with the exception az Oak
Ridge, at Oakdale, employing thirty men,
the National works, at Nobletown. and
the River Hill Coal Company, at MELON
aid Station, the latter employing about
eighty-five men.
