New York have resolved that their wages
shall be $3 for nine hours work, and eight
hours on Saturday:

throughout the Schuylkill coal region re-
mains unchanged The Philadelphls and
Reading coal'xnd iron colleries, which re-
sumed work last Monday, continue regular

with many of them. The miners in the

against the reduction in the usual contract
work, and the additional laborer required
Ia bringing the coal to the surface.

An old labor reformer, writing from
Springfield, ILL., says
There is powerful movement BY the
politicians to postpone the indianapolis
Convention There was a meeting of
leading politicians here on the 18th for
that purpose. | was at first inclined to
favor that object, but the recent charges
against PendletOn and Hendricks have
changed my mind. | nov believe that
the indianapolis Convention ought To
adept a sound platform and nominate

carry the people with US on the money
question. The people can BE- educated

greenback system is firmly intrenched in
the hearts Of the people, aud they will
sdstaIn that system IN spite Of false politi
cal leaders. Our platform should meet
the three great political issues of the day.

see what stupendous fraud the
measure Of value" argument is. The
whole bullion theory was designed
for the sole purpose of misleading and
robbing labor, and it was originally
adopted when actual slavery and serf-
dom were completely overthrow in their
slavery, however, Was perpetuated by
means Of this {" refined barbarism, when
wage labor became the substitute Of slave
labor, and by Its means labor has been held
almost as completely in suhlection as it
was during the preceding centuries by the
force Of law which maintained slavery in
its worst forms. Labor to-day is the slave
Of the money power. The power Of
money rests largely in the devotion of the
moneyed classes to the use Of gold. The
only reason for this continued devotion IS
because gold can be easily cornered, man
ipulated and controlled by moneyed men.
Break this control and you break the
power Of money, and with the aid Of the
interchangeable bond" give labor an
equal chance with capital. Continue to
hug the gold delusion and you only forge
new letters to bind you to perpetual ser
vitude to a hoard Of petty money tyrants,
who subsist by robbing you Of your own
hard earnings, and humbug you with such
L -. A. (
fraud value There is absolutely no ar
gument in favor of specie payments which
will bear an honest analytical examination.
The absurdity Of every argument put for
ward by the bullionists is manifest as soon
as it is critically examined.
Prof Perry is stiff bullionist, but in
his book Elements of Political Economy
in his chapter on value, which he claims
10 be the best thing ever written upon the
subject, on page 81 he says
"But the truth is a measure Of value in
the sense in which it has been sought after
by these writers Adam Smith, Ricardo,
Mill. McCulloch, etc, IS something mn
possible 10 be realised IL never would have
been sought after, unless value had been
supposed to be rigid quality inhering i'll
commodities, aud, when once placed in
the n by whatever process, to be invari-
able We have seen, however, that value
is not a quality inhering in any one thing,
out it is a relation subsisting Letween two
services which two persons are in a posi-
ton to render to each other and that
this is not an infiexibie relation, but is
variable by any change in the views Of the
two persons, by which either Of them puts
a different estimate upon the services
about to be rendered as compared with
the services about to be received.
We would like to have the professor OF
political economy Of Williams College re
concile this passage with his present ideas
Of gold measure Of value. When he
wrote this, he had one Of his lucid intervals
but the gold blind spell soon returned.

The action Of the National Executive
Committee in declining to postpone the
time for holding the Nominating Conven.
ton will, We feel satisfied, meet the ap-
proval Of an overwhelming majority OF
the members Of the independent party.
While We concede honesty of purpose t.
those who differ from the action taken, We
fail To recognize the force az the argu-
meuts used by those who favored a delay.
Now that it is definitely decided that the
Convention will be held on the day orig
inally intended, We expect the sceptical
friends who were waiting to see whether a
Republican or Democratic =" sell out" was
intended before committing themselves,
will 90 to work in earnest, as lnkewarm-

And now at the eleventh hour, when
vast monied combinations are crsuhing and
plnndering all industries, the party press
is the firm ally and apologist Of fraud

THE MINER.

The following extracts from letters re
ceived from Schuylkill County, Pa, durin.
the past few days, and which we are per
mitted to publish, show that a desire t,
become connected with the Miners Ma

gion. One says
"Send Siney along as quick as possible
The men are red hot for the M. N. U.
They have at last seen the necessity of re.
organizing. | am right glad of it, Shen-
andoah is prepared to do her duty"
Another forwarded by Mr. johnson
says:
"Would you be So kind as to inform Mr.
Siney that the miners Of Schuylkill coun-
ty are very eager for his appearance, know
ing beyond doubt that success will crown
his efforts in organizing the unions"

The Trade Of Two Cities

II may, perhaps, be imagined
that New York is the only city
which suffers from the extraOrdi
nary decline of the import trade,
bnt the statistics of the commerce
of Boston show a much greater
proportionate falling of In i'm
ports at that point. For the first
twenty one weeks of the calendar
year the value OF the foreign
goods entered at Boston is only
el4, $780, 600, against e23, ,264, 600
for the same period in 1915. This
is at the rate Of about $50, ,OOO, 900
for the whole year. With the ex
ception of New York, Boston has
a considerably larger import trade
than any other port in the United
States. The following are the val
! ues Of its imports in each calendar
