ers IN the stonecutting line to the able com
munlcaton Of Mr. James Gilmore, Presi-
dent Of the united order of iourneymen
sionecutters Of Chicago gentleman
whose intelligence and experience ia trades
unions, emnently qualify him for the po-
sition he fills, and enables him r. advise re-
forms in his trade, which, If acted upon
must prove highly beneficial to all the mem
beers Of tn craft
There is no reason why there should not
be a National Union II Stonecutters as
We'll as there is u other trades 1t is sur
prislng that 50 large a body of men,
among whom there are 50 many intelligent,
practical common sense men, that there is
not a more uniform system Of organization
among them. We sincerely hope the com
mImIcatlun referred to. will receive care

To THE MINERS OF THE WEST -
Fettotc- Miners No longer can we pos
sIbly submit ourselves to be idle specta-
tors, only, to the startling events that are
daily transpiring around us. Positive,
prompt, determined and speedy action is
required at our hands if we would avoid

OF the nation to obliterate forever the curse
Of slavery from our land, anu yet no sooner
IS the bhghting, writhing curse removed
from one race of our people than it is forced
upon another, and both races alike are
grooming under system Of bondage worse,
if possible, than the ancient Roman slave.
We pride ourselves in the belief that we
live under free Republic it is solemn
mockery before God and man. We boast
OF our education, superior intelligence to

dows our land like huge vampire, hasten

Indebtedness and misery to the homes and

oppression. If the true and real source Of
all our crime, misery and want was traced
in its proper channel back to its founda-

Braidwood- It's Wonderful Progress.

Six years ago, in company with Mr.
Alex. Mcdonald, we paid our first visit to
the village of Brsidwood, in viii county,
which then consisted Of few scattered
cottages, inhabited principally by the mi
ners employed at the shafts of the Viii
mingtOn Coal Company. Last week we
were more than surprised to learn that the
little village had since that time grown TO
a respectfully sized town, and contained
population Of 5000 souls Churches. school
houses, hotels and stores had arisen as If
by magic. The main street is nearly half
mile IN length, with the prospect Of a
handsome extension during the coming
summer. 1t contains bank, and also
boasts Of its weekly paper, which we we're
pleased to learn was doing remarkably
well. 1t is expected that three new shafts
will shortly be commenced, which will give
employment to three or four hundred men.
As it is, nearly 1000 tons Of coal are raised
and shipped daily, most Of which tinds its
way to the Chicago market and yet, il can
scarcely be said that the vast bed of coal
which surrounds it has been little more than
tapped
1t is probable that in the course of a few
years it will become the seat Of some uf our
largest manufacturing enterprises ia fact
We understand several capitalists are seri-
ously discussing the proprlety Of breaking
