Our town election. last Tues
day, passed off very quietly, despite
predictions to the contrary, and re-
suited in the election of the former
officers by an Overwhelming ma
jority. In another column will be
found the official vote. At the an
nual town meeting, in the morning,
a very favorable report was read,
but lack Of time and space prevents
our making any extracts or com
ments. We hope however, that
the Town Board will conclude TO
have it published-for we see bv
our exchanges that other towns
have their reports published-in
which case, it will probably be
presented to our readers next week.

New York Eweepers and Cartmen.


The New York Sun Of June 22d says e.
The dirt cartnen and sSeepers met IN
Hibernia Hall yesterday to protest against
the low rate Of wages, which they say has
reduced them to the point Of starvation.
Elk Coroner Nelson ". Young, who has
been trying to influence the mayor and the
Commissioners in their behalf, said that he
called the attention Of Mayor Wick ham to
their wrongs, and that the Mayor went to
the Comm sioners and laid the case before
them, and they, instead Of redresslng the
grievances, cut down the pay twenty five
cents more The trouble Is, said Mr..
Young, the Commissioners are responsible
to no one for their acts, and they prefer to
put their $1,000 year in their pockets,
drink their wine, eat their oysters, and
wear heir white kids rather than allow
the starving workingmen enough pay to
buy whole Loaf Of bread. The men who
are to blame are the city officers who put
such Commissioners Ia power. II don I
advise you to strike, concluded Mr..
Young better keep the half loaf you
have than get no bread at all but next
November stand firm and strike the blow
that will hurl these politicians from the
Offices to which you have elected them.
Mr. James b. Hackett, Chairman, said
IL have belonged to Tammany Hall for a
quarter Of century, and 1 should still bs
in favor Of it if they would fulfill then
promises. But they have treated US wors,
than anyother organization, either Repub
lican or Democratic. They must take on
their corrupt politicians OF they must g

COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.

The Atlanta Constitution reports that
several oranges in South Carolina are pre-
pairing to build cotton mills in the South.
The cotton growing States have an abund-
hand and cheap labor The South, there
fore. possesses every element necessary to
assure the complete success Of such manu-
featuring undertaking.. Furthermore such
enterprises are not an experiment. Since
the war several cotton mills have been
established IN the South, and the result
has been that cotton goods are now selling
much cheaper than ever before in the
United States. While New England
manufacturers are complaining that they
are losing money, these southern factories
are paying large dividends The propo-
sition now advanced, is to build yarn mills
at ten thousand dollars each, wherever
water power can be obtained, az cotton can
be shipped more enomically in the shape
Of yarn than az raw cotton. This, TOO,
would lead ultimately to the extension a
the business to include the manufacture Of
all kinds Of cotton fabrics. II the South
ern people will only demand cheap money,
and then use the money to build up manu-
factoring Industries IN the South, we will
very soon hear the last Of all Southern
difficulties This is a move in the right
direction, which should be encouraged

FROM INDIANA.

HARMONY, CLAY COUNTY, IND.,
June I'D, 1879.
r. tn, Editor u the WoESSssAS's ADVOCATE.
SIR On the 10Th INST. the miners 81
this county held large and enthusiastic
meeting in Brazil, and Daniel Mclaughlin,
Of Braidwood, Illinois, having been invited
was present and delivered lengthy and
important address, which was fully ap-
preciated by the miners here.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted, except the first, which
was taken by ballot vote, and only four
teen voted in the negative
Hherecs, as our emplo yers are making
very vigorous efforts to supplaht US with
imported labor by means Of advertise
ments and agents all over the country,
basely representing that the trouble with
the old hands is settled and as many Of
them have left, they are in need Of men,
promising steady work, &c. We do
hereby resolve to adhere to our former
resolution and determination to MAINTAIN
the contest till Justice be done us.
Whereas, we are under many and last
lasting obligations to miners IN various
sections Of Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois,
Iowa and Wyoming Territory, for their
generous and substantial aid, who have
sustained us thus far in the present strug
gle. We do hereby express our heartfelt
gratitude, yet necessity impells us still
to appeal to them to continue their con-
tributions till a triumphant victory be
won.
Whereas, we believe that every man
man who participated in bringing about
strike to resist q downward tendency of
wages. such as was our case, Ia under
sacred obligatic ms to remain at home and
work towards a successful determination
Of the issue. We do hereby resolve, that
from this date all who leave the field for
other parts of the country will not have
our sanction OF appreciation.
Whereas, there are always class Of
men very Jealous and persistent in bring
ing about a strike, but who are ever ready
and mean enough to blackleg, and believing
such men to be injurious TO the interest OF
employers and dangerous to trade organlEA-
ton, uge do hereby resolve, that our D's-
trict President appoint committee at each
distributing point to carefully look after
all such men and furnish their names TO
the President, who shall forwad . lint OF
them to every Secretary Ut the Nj. y. a.
The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1875-06-26
TO the Miners Of Braidwood

There is no class of men for whom We en-
terrain higher regard than the miners OF
Braidwood. On all occasions, and under all
circumstances, whether securing their own
rights, or defending tn ose of Others, they
have proven equal to the emergency. Their
purse strings have never been drawn when
their fellow craftsmen in other sections APP
pealed to them for aid, in the hour OF their
necessity. Generous, true and tried, the
miners of the prairie have set an example,
that others would do well to copy after. Yet
we think, notwithstanding these facts, it is
none the less their duty to defend and stand
by their friends in the future under all CIR
cnmstances. From reliable authority, we
learn that Mr.. Daniel Mclaughlin, district
president, as true, tried and reliable leader
as ever body Of men followed, has been de
MED work in Braidwood ever since the sue
cessful termination Of the memorable strike, a
success to which his own caution courage and
skill mainly contributed, and it Is certainly
the bOunden duty of every union man to stand
between him and his perse sutors and see that
the starvation policy, won't work in his case
at least.
Mr.. Sweet deserves great deal of credit 81
for the manner in which he has acted to Mr.
Mclaughlin. II he thinks it is honorable
or manly to ostracise a man because he had
the brains or pluck to advocate the cause Of
the wronged, experience will teach him to
the contrary. The same stamping out
policy has been tried and failed in the old
world, and it will as Assuredly fail here. In
conclusion, we advise the miners of Braid
wood, to stand by their leader remember be
has a wife and family to support, who cannot
live on air. Let them remember also, that
Justice, like charity, begins at home. and
that the laborer is worthy Of his hire. We
trust that our remarks will be taken in the
spirit in which they are given, with state
ment that We personally assume all RESPONSE
h,lity for them

THE BIG BONANZA.

A short time since the daily papers ere
ated something of a sensation by publish
ing dispatch stating that silver had fallen
80 pence to the pound in England. Peo-
pie who were posted on the subject knew
that the report must be false, and few
shrewd ones were able to correct the
error The facts were, silver had been
selling for sometime at 57t pence a pound
sterling, and the price declined TO 90 pence
a pound, fall Of little more than two
and half pence. A day or two after the
dispatch was received, the superintendent
of the mint made an extensive contract
for silver " at 81 on per standard ounce, ("
so reads the report. There are 480 grains
to the ounce. The standard dollar weighs
Az. . grains, and the trade dollar weighs
40 grains This purchase, il correctly
reported, therefore shows that silver is
nearly on par with paper. The decline
in this country is undoubtedly due to the
decline il England.
The first lesson 10 be learned by these
figures, il that silver changes price pre-
cisely the same a. wheat, or corn, or any
thing else, thereby fatty contrsdicting the
bullion theory which assumes that coins
never change their values. But if silver
depreciAtes from known causes, gold may,
and in fact does also change it's value, not
only in the Uaited States, but everywhere
else whenever the supply and demand
changes relatively one with the other
We will now consider the the causes
which have led to the decline in silver
Germany has been making determined
effort to substitute gold for silver through
out the German empire. This has decreased
the demand for silver, and greatly increased
the demand for gold This disturbance Of
itself is sufficient to account for a marked
difference in the relative value of gold
and silver, but it's effects were almost i'm
perceptible for months after the disturb
ing laws were passed, and repeated at
tempts had been made to put them in
execution. Everything had been prepared
for break in prices just at this juncture
the wild stories, put aAoat in New York
some two months since, in regard to the
untold wealth recently discovered in the
Big Bonanza become generally known in
London, and straightway this huge joke
sent silver down over two and half per
cent, and created tremendous hub-bub
in commercial and financial circles every
where.
Now, ibis is fair indication of the pre-
tended solidity of q coin basis. When
. gang Of INSCRIPTIONS sharpers can upset
the money market Of London, and through
London the money markets Of all nations
that use specie a. money, BY a grand hum
bug like Big BONANZA, and that, too, after |
it had been treated Us q joke for weeks |

FROM OHIO.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, June II, 1873.
70 the Editor q the woKKrsGHAN's ADvocArG
Undoubtedly you have noticed the sen
tence that has just been passed upon the
SIX miners by Judge Orvis, of the Clear
field county court, on the trumped up
charge Of conspiracy. These six men got
one year each in the state prison, and
must pay fine of twenty-five dollars each
Thirteen others were sentenced to sixty
days and the same amount Of tine. Thir-
teen more were sent home, and sentence
suspended 50 long as they behave well.
This ID the Law ~ rendered by this Just
Judge, and he, in his compassion Of soul,
consoled the poor fellows with the state
ment that the sentence was light, as he
believed they were led or instigated to do
wrong By John Siney and Xingo Parks, o.
the Miners National Association.
Now what nave these men done that a
sentenaA SO outrageous has been passed
them ZEN though this Daniel Of judge
designates it as ''light"l They joined the
Miners National Union and struck work
for what they believed was their due, as
for their labor The com
panies for whom they worked brought
other labor then, and because those men
persuaded this new labor to leave that
field, they are thus branded an felona in
the great State Of Pennsylvania. They
