The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-09-20
TO The WQRklNCMEN.

Although we cannot shut our eyes
to the indefensible means used by the
recent strikers. there exists every
where the pronounced sympathy for
she hard positions of railroad
engineers and other employees.
Let us for Il moment direct public
attention to the fact that the errors
of both employer and employee are
comparatively only like scratches on
a person in a bad state of blood. How
ever dangerous these laay prove. this
-ariseS from the corrupt state OF the
system.
If business were prosperous. rail
roads would not be driven to undue
competition with one another or other
modes OF transportation. or to cut
down wages and adopt the other
economies which endanger the travel
ing public.
This is far more important subject
than most people are aware. from
their not having thought Of the sub
iect. aud from. in most eases. not
having the knowledge of the dreadful
state and prospects OF industry in the
country.
During our recent labor troubles
: many expressed the opinion that a
monarchy was needed in the United
States. and prayed for ''strong gov,
eminent.
With half an eye any one can see
that it is not the executive branch OF
the government. but the Legislation
of the country that has depressed the
interest that were in rebellion, as wei
as all other interests, except that o.
the money-lender.
However wrong and indefensibl'

he EX-TreaSurer of the United
States Endorses the Green
back Policy.

General Spinner, eX-United States
treasurer, is spending IL few days in
Washington. He thus expresses HIM
elf on the financial question: The
financial question is in reality not so
Kifficult of solution as many suppose.
Il was brought up q bullion democrat
Ind am quite willing there should be
metallic currency for those who wish
Euch; but now think Il paper curren-
" is the best. 1t is not original with
he, but William ID. Kelly has the true
lea A metallic currency is wanting
IA elasticity: At times an expansion
IL the circulating medium is neceS-
I0ry for the purchase of crops, their
transportation, etc. What the coun-
ny needs is an issue of legal tender
-otes convertible ut any time into an
interest bearing stock of the nlted
states bonds for which the holder
:ould get currency with accrued in
crest whenever he should SO desire.
vt rate of interest
NOT HIGHER THAN 3.65 PER CENT.
The desired circulation would be alb
;orbed when not used for commercial
purposes, and low enough to force the
'eturn of the bonds when the bust
less of the country required large
amount of currency. Such a curren-
y would soon be on a par with gold,
md it would be the parent of new
prosperity and of a new era of patri-
otism. The present system and the
plan for resumption will have no other
effect than to still further Cypress the
people and cripple the energies of the
government. The power to issue
notes should be taken away from the
banks sand vested exclusively in the
government. Without Il change il
the financial policy the'worst is yet tC
be apprehended. The people will moi
stand too much oppression and mani
fest wrong.

The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1877-03-29
A Sensitive Old Maiden.

In certain pleasant town in the coun-
ty OF Surrey, England, there was a
cricket ground nearly surrounded by
houses. One fine morning, jus after a
great match had been played, the secre-
tary of the club received a letter from a
lady "of certain age" the proprietor
of one of the adjacent houses, declaring
that her delicacy had repeatedly been
affronted by the sight of gentlemen (" in
every stage OF nudity" putting on their
cricketing fannels in the open dressing
tent just before her windows. Would
the secretary, therefore, she entreated,
make arrangements for ridding her of
this disgusting spectacle? The secre-
tary wrote an Apologize note to Miss
Flefye, and at the match the dressing
tent was placed at the opposite corner Of
the cricket ground, at least three hun
dred yards from the lady's window. I'm
aGine the secretary's astonishment at re-
ceiving the next morning a second letter
thanking him for "his obviously
kind intentions" but regretting that they
were of no avail, as she "conld see the
gentlemen's legs, with a telescope, Just
as plainly as before"

Amusements Of Royalty.

A correspondent, writing of the win
ter pleasures of royalty in Canada, de-
scribes an evenings amusement at the
home of the Lord and Lady Dufferin.
He says i Witnessed cotillion 30 thor
oughly original In its details that de-
scription of it will doubtless be interest
ing to some Of our New York readers.
First, row of chairs was arranged on
the four sides of the ballroom and occu-
pied by all who could find places. Then
followed waltz for perhaps minute,
after which young lady took her seat
in the middle of the ballroom and, hold
ing toilet glass, was approached from
behind by one gentleman after another,
until she recognized her choice, when
she was up and away. Meanwhile, each
of the disappointed aspirants for her
hand was obliged to mount chair, un-
til another general waltz succeeded;
then gentleman, being blindfolded,
was called upon to select a partner from
a lady or partner of his own sex, who
were stealthily placed in his front. If
he chose the man the laugh was, of
course, against him, while the lady was
whirled around by one Of the genial
in giving tin whistles and bells to gen.
tlemen, and requiring them to stand on
their chairs until they blew up or rung
up some sympathetic and considerate
feminine partner. In the fourth in
stance monster dice, as large as dry
goods box, was successfully thrown by
four players, one of whom was Lord
Dufferin, and the person making the
biggest throw had his choice of the lady
who was put as the prize. In the fifth
act the Countess Dufferin started off
alone on brisk polka, selected a gentle
man, and then alternately danced from
one side OF the room to the other, pick
ing up partners of both sexes, when the
line, being inconveniently long, broke up
into waltzing couples. Again, aprons
and nightcaps were furnished two of the
cavaliers, who were required to tie both
before either could claim the handsome
prize. Finally, four huge, ridiculously
masked individuals, robed in white, who
had been led out by Captain Ward, one
of the masters Of ceremony, made their
and rendered the scene hilari-
GUS until the close. As you may well
it was all fun. innocent and en-
joyable by everybody, and by none more
than the earl and his youthful countess.
Among the many other pleasures which
Dufferin Hall affords, and which the peo-
pie of Ottawa feel proud in beng invit-
ed to, are the private theatricals, on which
occasions the characters are personated
by Lady Dufferin, the immediate mem
bers of her household and two or three
friends who reside in the city.
