The Dutch used to hayo all tho nut.

Islands, ennd conquered all tho other
traders and destroyed tho trees. To
keep the price up, they at one time
burned three piles of nutmegs, each Of
which was as large as a church. Ma.

meanness. Tho nutmeg pigeon, found
in all the Indian Islands, did for tho

The Case Demands Cheaper La
Dor.

PIrrsBURGH, April AT meeting OF
the Western Nail Association, held in
this city to-day, the following was
adopted:
"As manufacturers Of nails in the ter
ritory west Of the Allegheny mountains,
We find upon comparison of wages that
We are compelled to pay from 3Sl to so
per cent more for various classes Of
skilled labor than is paid by our com
petitOrs east. As result of these
high prices for labor, We are being
driven out of the markets in
which We have hitherto sold
our products. Our trade is being cur
tailed, our mills are being stopped, or
run on short time, and the prices We are
forced toisccept for our products result
in an absolute loss. We believe it to be
in the interest of all parties, both manu-
facturers and operatives, that this con-
dition of affairs should exist no longer;
therefore,
RsSOired, That in view of these facts,
we ask the skilled operatives in our
mills and factories 10 consent to re-
ductiOn in wages to the prices paid in
Eastern mills for similar work"
