for corporations; equal political rights

income tax and the taxation of
all other property in equal ratio;
the demonstration of gold and silver as
domestic currency, and the issue instead
of full legal-tender paper currency; the

BIsCHoFF, a German banker, was a wit
ness before the Senate SUBJ Committee on
Labor on the 10Th, in New York. He said
the hours of labor here were shorter than
in Germany. Employers should be urged
to find time to study the interests of their
employees, and then there would not be so
much cause for strikes. Workingmen in
America did better work than those in
Germany, but their homes were not as COM
Portable, and, as consequence, they were
dissatisfied. Moral training would do
more to prevent strikes than legislative
action, and industrial schools should be
established. Witness said all combina-
tions had an injurious influence on the con-
sumer but he did not see how they could
be remedied by legislation, as capitalists
had a right to do as they pleased with
their money, but he did think there should
te some legislation to prevent men from
dealing in futures; that Is, selling some.
