Beyond question the cheapest and most
| effective machine Of the kind now in use,
adapted to all grades and classes Of orc.
This machine has been thoroughly tested
for the past two years under a great variety
OF conditions giving most extraordinary re-
suits, far In advance OF anything ever boz
fore realized.
A recent competitive test made with the
Frue at the Carlisle mine in New Mexico
showed an advantage Of 30 per cent in favor
OF the Duncan. The amount saved over the
Frue being sufficient to pay the entire cost
OF the machines nearly every month in the
year. 4
The following Is an enumeration Of its
many advantages over ell other machines:
FIFsT-Its cost Is not more than half that
OF any other Of equal capacity, and the
weight Is nearly ] 600 pounds less. thus
greatly reducing the cost of transportation
SEooSD-The expense of setting up in
running order Ii not more than one third
that Of the Frue, or any other belt machine
much less grading and timber work being
necessary.
THInp-The expenditure for repair ia not
more than one-hfth that of any belt ma
chine, and they will last fully three times
- long, working under the same conditions.
FoUIrH-Not more than one half the
space Is required--s point Of great impor.
tanoe where considerable number are used.
FrYTH--No special skill and very little
care Ia necessary TO opers to IL.
S1TH-No more water IL required than 10
furnished by the batteries.
SEvknrR-It saves ali the amsleam, geld
or silver, that escapes the batteries, pans or
settlers-sn invaluable feature, and claim
Cd by no other, making the machine worth
more than II costs for this purpose alone.
EIoHTR-.A much ooarser grade Of ore oan
be handled successfully than by any other
machine-a great advantage In many in.
stances whore 6ns crushing 10 not necessary
to eliminass the mineral.
NNTB- IL has no small aud delicsts me.
ohaniam. requiring nice adjustment and the
closest stten tion-an insuperabls objection
TO all brlt and other forms Of machines, ma.
king 'isem unfit fer tho rough service Of
quartz nill.
and srnall number Of wearing parts. The
wtols machine IL comprised in seventeen
I iscss, only three Of which are subject to
any special wear, and these oan be replaced
at nominal cost. The Frue has l13 pieces
and some similar machines many moro ma

Joe Bates Economy.

The following resolution was adopted
by the Denver Trades Assembly, last
Sunday, and ordered printed in The
ENQUIRER:
Whereas, 1t has come to the knowl-
edge of this Assembly that the city is
about to contract with ca, tern parties
for thirty patrol boxes at the price of
$175 E.er box; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
Assembly $175 is an outrageously high
figure for the same, and that we view
with alarm the apparent extravaganza of
the present city government, and that
we request the members of the legisla-
tive ommi tee of this body to use their
utmost efforts to prevent further extrav-
agance, not only in the introduction of
the police patrol, but in other depart
ments as well. 1t is the opinion of the
mechanics who are familiar with the
cost of such material and labor, that as
the SITS does not include any part of the
inside workings of the boxes, that the
boxes could be constructed at cost Of
$50 each with sufficient profit.

That Contract.

Editor Labor Enquirer
The Republican of March % tells US
the contract for the capitol building
will be let and work will be gone On
with upon the foundations" Richard
son is to have the contract after all is he? ?
Then of what use is it for the people
who pay for all, and who produce all, to
say what they want? Is it any use to
pass resolutions in all sorts of meetings,
(that there shall be no doubt about the
will ofthe masse3), in all sorts of Ian
guage. if the will of the people is to be
disregarded in this way?
The servants of the people (commis-
sioners) say to us just as money-bag in
New York City once said: "The people
be damned" 1t tis my honest opinion
that this man Richardson was the
chosen man before the bids were opened
bv the board of public servants called
commission. 1t will now require ninety
days more to make sure that Colorado
can produce the stone. Any man with
the power of reason can see in an instant
to what this all tends. l believe the
whole thing will 60 about this way Mr..
R. will be awarded the contract to do
the work he will get started on it in
good shape. Mind you, do not mean
to say faith" when say good shape"
I mean just what l say. All will go
along we'll for few days or weeks, per-
haps, then it will be discovered that in
all these Rocky Mountains of Colorado
there is not good building stone en- ough
to build a house good enough for the
learned asses who usually constitute our
honorable legislators" and other state
servants I do not wish to be understood
as saying that all our state officers are
"n. g." but do say most of them are.
After the honorable gents have spent
plenty of your money and my money,
and in fact every other fellows who lives
in this great(?) state of Colorado, they
will say through the press of this city
that it is necessary to 60 outside of the
state to buy stone, and Mr.. R. is left to
run the machine. Of course there will
be no place in the country that can fur
nish the stone good enough for such a
place, unless it be the state prison outfit
in which Mr.. R. is directly interested.
That takes the stone work from home,
because you know it would never do to
pay freight upon the undressed stone
for there is 80 much extra weight to it;
80 it must be cut in the east to save ex-
pense. Next, as the little fellow who was
once governor of this state, said, the iron
could not all be had in Colorado. I would
not like to say this is lie, but l can
think just as hard about 1t as l want to.
To sum up the whole business, Rich
ardson will get the contract. The most
of the stone, i. e., all that will be used
above the foundation, will come from
lust wherever MIR. R. wishes it to come
from. The iron will come from outside

cents per barrel for water, and the house
rent which varies from 81 to $40 per
month, and some men with families
have only drawn $19 for the last month.
Then comes whatthey call the Colorado
Trading Store" where the most Of them
have TO do their trading; and the great
go that is running that store for the
firm is kind of cashier at the mines.
On payday he keeps all he doesn't ask
tte poor miner, "Hsve you anything
to pay your rent ?" or, "Can you
pay your butcher bill2" or "your water
BILL" neither does he care. And now,
Mr.. Editor, I should like to know what
looks more like company store than
that, and if there isn't law for the poor
as we'll as the rich? A TRAMP.

Sitting on the Safety-VaIve.

BRUSSELS, March 30.-Herr Won Putt
kamer, the Prussian minister of the in
terior, in the Reichstag to-day, made a
personal appeal on behalf of the EN-
peror William for continuance of the
nti-Socialist law. In the course of his
address he exclaimed: "In the en-
peror's name and by the emperor's or
der, I assure you that his majesty would
regret profoundly and grieve deeply if
the prolongation of the anti-Socialist law
is refused. The emperor would shed his
blood in order to maintain the law"
DR.. Won Puttkamer referred to The
Soc alist troubles in Belgium, which he
said threatened the peace of Europe.
DR.. Windthorst said he failed to see
any connection between the Belgium
disorders and German Socialism.
DR.. Won Puttkamer, in reply, said &C.
cording to the newspaper reports the
Germans instigated the strikes in Bel
GUM. He wished chiefly to point out
that the inadequate laws of Belgium had
rendered these disorders possible, but
he denied that the German Socialists
were implicated in the troubles. The
Belgium bourgeoise constantly and will
fully sought to create serious disorders
and the government itself provoked the
troubles.
Herr Bebel called the speaker to order,
whereupon the speaker denounced
Bebel and Most as dangerous agitators.

"A SCAB.n
Judge sopris Defines the Word, and the
Boycott OF Schradsky Still
Goes On.

That H. Schradsky, clothier, 975 Lari-
mer street, this city, is being boycotted
by organized labor is we'll known. The
occasion of the boycott is that Schradsky
signed paper, with other clothiers,
obligating himself to close his store on
Sundays and allow his clerks one days
rest in seven; that he violated his word,
and for several months has been keeping
his store open and clerks on duty all day
and part of the night every Sunday.
When the first circular was issued by
the executive board ofD. A. 80, setting
forth the foregoing facts, Schradsky at
once issued circular denving the truth
of the charges, and in this circular he
misrepresented the whole affair, and at.
tempted to obtain the pity of the citi-
zens by putting up mouth, and by gar
bled accounts of facts. The boycotters at
once issued tile following dodger and
flooded the city with them: keep up
the Boycott on the Scab Clothier.''
John Anderson was arrested on
Wednesday, at the lnstigation of Schrad-
sky, upon a charge of criminal libel, for
distributing these dodgers. He was
bailed in the amount of $500, his bonds
man being ]. S. Dreyfuss, clothier. The
trial came up before Judge Sopris at 10
o'clock Thursday morning, Decker and
Yonley appearing for the prosecution,
and F. W. Hankey and Frank Stuart for
the defense Mr.. HankeY moved that
the case be dismissed. SchradskY was
the only witness examined, and the
counsel began the argument. The case
hinged upon the word "scab," as used
in the circular, and Mr.. Decker quoted
Webster, Shakespeare, ct al, to prove
that the word meant dishonest, low,
mean and paltry fellow and that
Schradsky's reputation had been injured
by the use of the word in the circular
Messrs. Hankey and Stuart for the de-
fense, showed that it did not mean anv
such thing but that it was used to show
that the prosecuting witness was opposed
to the will of organized labor. Mr..
Hankey made the point that the word
"scab" as used in the dodger qualified
the word "clothier." and did not refer to
the private or public character of the
prosecutor.
No witnesses were examined for the
defense, the attorneys resting their case
upon the motion to dismiss because the
charges in the complaint we're not true.
Judge Sopris delivered short but in
teresting, and somewhat humorous
opinion, in which he displayed his
knowledge of the use of the word "scab."
He said it belonged to the same category
as "rat," and "mugwump," and hecould
not find sufficient cause for binding
Anderson over.
The case was dismissed, Anderson was
congratulated, and Schradsky went out
of the court room looking anything but
a conQueror or hero.
So the word scab has a defined legal
status in our community, and the court
has decided that it it is not criminal
offense to attach this affectionate title to
the name of man who flies in the face
of the powers that be and breaks his
pledges to his fellow-men.

THE LEAGUE.
An Interesting Programme, In Which
Number Take
Part.
Sec, pro tenn.

The weather was very cold and un-
pleasant Sunday night, but the tie nd
ance at the League did not show any
verv disadvantageous effects. The hall
was comfortably filed and the exercises
proved peculiarly interesting.
Comrade Hatch made the responses to
the evenings lesson, the subject of
which was "Division of Toll" Com
rade Mcdonald read carefully pre-
pared dissertation upon the lesson, and
he was interrupted frequently with ap.
plause. Comrade Lennon made some re-
marks upon spreading the Light" dur
ing which he urged all Socialists to be
diligent in propagating the truth, an d to
support the labor and Socialist press.
Comra le Collins read an essay upon
THE Crowding in Cities" which was
very interesting and contained some
valuable points upon this evil, sprung
from the competitive system. He also
made few remarks upon armed revo-
luton.
Comrade Mantle them read an excel
lent paper "To the Women" In which
she told of her conversion to Socialism,
and how she had m trveled at first and
said "wha manner of man IS this who
believes il. and teaches the equality Of
woman ?" She concluded by urging the
women to help their brothers in the
good work they are doing.
After recess, during which, as usual,
there we're a great many signers to the
roll of membership, Comrade Collar
read the first of series of essays which
she will read before the League upon
the subject Of "Woman's Attitude to So
cialism." The first essay was deeply
interesting, and the manner in which 1t
was received assures close attention to
those which are to follow.
A Mr.. Gray, a stranger in the city,
was called for, and spoke for a few min
utes very earnestly upon the situation
of the working people; but his refer
ence to the ballot as a remedy for all
the ills Of mankind was not very warmly
received.
Comrade Tower was called for, and re-
sponded with few minutes cheering
talk, during which, as usual, he made
several good points.
C,mrade Buchanan was called for. and
asked to talk on the great railroad
strike. He spoke for fifteen minutes
upon the duty of Socialists and all true
men in this emergency. He said that
while Socialists are opposed to strikes as
rule, when, in case like the present,
the laborers and their oppressors are ar
rayed in open nhict, there can be no
question as to where the Socialist
stands

Public improvements.

d. A. SO and the locals of this city:
REPRESENTATIVES. Of the United States:
Whereas. The problem of alleviating
the distress everywhere prevalent among
the laboring classes of the civilized
world is universally considered the most
important question of the hour-a prob
lem that has demanded and received the
Immediate at ention of the leading goy-
ernments of Europe, and
Whereas, Owing to the displacement
of labor by the invention oflabor-saving
machinery end to laws which foster
monopoly and divide society into two
hostile classes, viz, the real rich and the
real poor, the condition Of the laboring
people of this republic is in many re-
spects worse than in the countries of
Europe-so deplorable in fact, that the
bureau of labor statistics of the state of
Illinois in its official report for the year
1882, declares as an indisputatle deduc-
ton from carefully compiled statistics,
that the average earnings of the heads
of families for the entire list of occupa-
tions is less than the general average of
the cost of liying-a condition of hope
less destitution and relentless poverty
that demands the immediate attention
of the national government, therefore,
be it
Resolved, By the lahoring men of
America in the assemblies of the Knights
of Labor assembled, that we who labor in
fair weather and in foul and contribute
daily and willingly to the wealth of
others and of the world are at least en-
titled to an opportunity of securing food
for our children, the ordinary comforts
of life and fair expectation of shelter
and repese for our declining years.
Resolved, That in time of depression
the general government should make
liberal appropriations of the surplus rev.
enue for the construction of works ofin-
ternal improvem' mt and of national i'm
portance, and redistribute among the
people in the form of wages, funds
boarded in tt e vaults of the treasury
that have been taken from the people
by taxation on what they eat and on
what they wear.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse
the plan for the construction of the Hen
nepin canal by the national government
as an undertaking of national impor-
tance and necessity, an improvement
that will not only benefit thousands of
needy men pending the construction,
but one that will furnish employment
for all time to come to thousands engaged
in vast system ofinternal water traffic
between New Orleans, st. Paul and New
York that will present an insurmount-
able check to the greed of monopolies
that will give cheaper bread to the east
and cheaper goods to the west that will
stimulate commerce, industry and agri-
culture everywhere in this great re-
public.
Resolved, That our representatives, in
congress are hereby urged to consider
this, and like projects, questions of par
amount and immediate Importance, and
to act in accordance with the spirit of
these resolutions.
