% Rathom the Cause "A Variety o.
opinions obtained.
CHICAGO, July 29.-The Congressional
Labor Committee to-day heard Hon. ]. H
s. Cannon, who stated his belief thai
the panic Of 1878 illustrated fully the
necessity for more money, which the les
sons OF other disasters to the nation and
TO private individuals have enforced.
From 1877 to 1873 q certain class OF people
had money, but the majority lived with.
out the laws Of supply and demand, alone
should limit the supply Of currency. He
would double the present amount OF cur.
rency by gradual issues.
Joseph U. Forest swore that he believed
the anicresulted from too much personal
money (coin) and too little impersonal
money paper money!. II the Govern.
ment continued initiating according TO Sec
retary Sherman's method It would come
70 0 crash. II we allowed England ode-
eide our prices she would ere long wipe
out our labor and impoverish us. He IA
vored the repeal Of the resumption law.
VIM. Haley, publisher, representing the
Greenback party, read his views on the
present depression. He believed that II
resulted from over imitation and specula.
ton and then q too sudden contraction.
The Shylocks had oil the money, and they
demanded exorbitant rates OF Interest for
It. He severely denounced Secretary
Sherman and the Republican party. There
was no such thing possible as over produc-
ton. The Government should, like
France, employ idle labor on public
works. Manufacturers are hard.hearted
and selfish, and regardless ofthe condition
Of labor. Eight hours was long enough
for 0 days work. He didn't believe In
violence or disorder, but he did believe in
justice.
John D. Kedzie thought the depres-
q two-told cause. First, the revulsion from
the era OF Indebtedness and speculation
that obtained up to 1876; and second,
the demonetization OF silver by all the
creditors Of the world about the same
time. This latter was the principal
cause. France alone did not demonetize,
and France alone had been prosperous,
as we are now getting TO be under the
prospect OF double standard. He OPP
posed the income tax, regarding 1t unfair
70 tax a mans property and then compel
him 10 pay . tax out OF the residue.
Judge Van 81. Higgins held that the
trouble was caused by q lack Of currency to
compensate labor.
IN the evening R. D. Streeter, on be-
hall OF the Trade and Labor Council OF
this city, submitted statistics as the labor,
wages. expenses, &C., Of the workmen in |
Chicago. This showed the general aver
age OF their earnings weekly at s. 6S per
person; actual earning per year, 1914; re-
duction In wages since 1872, per person,
80 lilo per cent; average total cost OF
living, $445 50. This would allow each
person per day IS cents for food, lS cents
for clothing, 8 S.5 cents for fuel, Il As cents

River and HaFbor Appropriation Avail
able-C Coinage Of standard silver DoI
lar.
wAsHNoros, July 2s.-The Cabinet TO
day decided money appropriated by tn,
recent act making appropriations for river
and harbos should not be withheld. The
full amount, nearly 100000, viii there
fore be expended this year. The warrant
placing this money to the credit Of The
War Department passed the Treasurer Of
the United States this afternoon.
The coinage Of standard silver dollars
will this month fall between $500, 900 and
100000 short Of 1.-THE minimum amount
fixed by law, $1,000, 900 monthly. The
deficiency will be.due to the fact that on
the Let Of July the stock ofsilyer bullion at
San Francisco and Carson City mints had
been SO much reduced that there was
nothing TO commence work upon since
then. It has been impossible to procure
bullion for these mints up TO the S0th Of
June. Work was pushed forward con.
tinually at Philadelphia aud New Orleans
n1ints, so as TO run the coinage up 10 S.
0OO, 1000 required for that month. Tha
mintat Philadelphia will be run night and
day during August, to make up the
deficiency.

the convulsions that attacked her last year
under generally similar conditions. The
Republicans have some righttoconadence
in the excellent and almost irreproachable
administration OF Governor Talbot, who,
without making much fuss about 1t, has
dome good deal towards bringing about
the reforms on General Buffers pro.
gnmne, and the promise Of which, in fact,
constituted the better part OF the 'latter's
stock in trade. The success Of the resump.
ton experiment. has knocked away anoth-
er Of Buffers pops. The result of this
success has been tie virtual dissolution Of
the Greenback party in Massachusetts
as elsewhere. There was some argument
on his side last year, despite the disrepu-
table characteristics Of his candidacy.
Now there is none at all. He runs mere
ly to crafty his personal ambition, and 1t Is
difficult to see how any respectable body
Of citizens can be induced to help him
along in such vulgar contest Tor spotls.l
