CHARLIE, Clay Co. Tex, Sept. e.
! will attempt to let my friends in
old Pope hear from me, and will take
this method of answering host OF
letters 4 found last night on my re-
turn from trip of ten days looking
at the country. We landed here on
May 81, 1886, and have been here
since, and we have enjoyed good
health. This, l think, is healthy To-
cation. Has been very dry and hot
since we came here until the last
few DAYS getting some cooler. No
.ain yet only light showers. This is
high, open prairie country, / don't
see ANYTHING to make it unhealthy.
There will be no crops here worth
mentioning on account Of the drouth.
They say they have not had q good
season in the ground since June 49,.
There is some fine land here for
farming. and makes fine crops when
they get seasons. On Monday the

why Labor Organs Fail.
Chicago Herald.

OnlcaBV hotaiu'
John Swinton, an amiable and
theoretical socialist, bemoans the
fact that "labor papers do not sue
ceed and attributes many of the mis-
fortunes of workingmen to the fact
that they do not support the organs
published exclusively IN their inter-
est.
The mistake that IS made in this
proposition is the assumption that
working men need or demand any
thing different in the way Of pa
per from that which satisfies other
people. Most Americans work, and
such Of them as care to read news
paper do not find their tastes chang
ed by the character of their occupa
tion or the style Of their living.
Agitators like Swinton have done
more to strengthen the idea that
there are classes in this country
than all the millionaires and social
snobs who have ever lived. TO as
sumo that, because man works
with his hands for living he Is not
interested in what interests man
who works with his head, or to pre-.
tend that particular brand OF liter
ature should be provided for the
poor and another for the rich, Is to
take long step 10 the direction OF
caste. 1t Is this idea, made especi
ally prominent IN all labor papers
published in the English language,
which has doomed them to early cx-
tinction. They lack the American
ism which holds all men equal be-
fore the law and recognizes no rank
in the republic of letters.
There is another reason why the
so called labor papers fail. They are
usually controlled by the dema-
gogues whose aim il is to embroil the
people and whose interest hes in the
direction Of great public turmoil.
Reasoning from no sound basis, the
infammatory Trades which have
characterized such organs have dis
gusted the men whom they were
designated to animate. They have
become meaningless and insipid,
and even their most extravagant as
sertions have at length fallen fiat.
The average newspaper appeals to
his passions. 1t is only the former
which can hope to prosper. There
are certain sound principles of goy.
ernment, finance and economy which
are applicable to rich and poor, TO
capital and to labor, to the idler as
well as the toiler In country like
this the hope of all lies in having
them we'll understood. Newspapers
of broad scope aim to impress these
principles on everybody. The SO
called labor papers, acting on the
theory that the interests Of various
classes are necessarily hostile have
sought by prejudiced appeals to ere
ate sentiment IN favor of class leg
islation, which in the long run would
benefit nobody. When such mis-
taken advocates find no clientage il
is good sign for the republic,
which stands as the highest earthly
expression of human liberty and
equal rights.

About twenty three years ago an
itching sore appeared on my left leg,
which eventually covered almost the
entire surface from the knee to the
ankle. The discharge of bloody
water was continual, aud | suffered
the most intense pain for many
years. / could scarcely sleep al
night, and a greater portion of the
time | could not walk except on
crutches. In turn ! used about all the
salves, ointments, sarsaparlllas and
blood purifiers that l could hear Of
and was treated by number Of ply
sicians without obtaining relief. A
passing commercial traveller advised
me to try Swift's Specific. finally
did SO. have used only a hall
dozen bottles, and my leg is sound
again and there is scarcely any sign
OF my terrible ard long protracted
afiliction left. l can walk as well az

THE SILVER QUESTION IN
GREAT RRETAIN.

Says the New 1ork sun: Inc columns
of the London Times bear witness to
the great and increasing attention ex-
acted by the silver question from the
British public. Every day or two the
paper prints from one to half a dozen let
tiers and essays on the subject, and,
while some of the writers are mono
metallists, who defend the single gold
standard, more are bimetallists, who
favor the restoration of silver, and few
would prefer the silver standard alone
not in Great Britain, to be sure, but
elsewhere.
The immediate urgency of the ques-
tion is caused by the financial relations
of Great Britain to India. In Great
Britain the monetary standard is ex.
clusively gold, in India it is exclusively
silver. The enormous sums of money
lent within the last twenty years by the
British Government and by British
citizens to the Indian Administration,
for the building of railways and for other
public improvements, were computed in
British currency at the rate of ten rupees
to the pound sterling. The interest on
these loans has now to be RENTED at the
rate of fifteen rupees to the pound. thus
practically increasing the debt one-half.
Besides this, there are numbers of Brit
ish officials in India whose salaries are
paid in Indian money. Their families
reside in Great Britain, and On RENTING
money for their support they have to
pay fifteen rupees for the pound where
they formerly paid ten. Naturally, they
complain and demand relief. On the
other hand, there are also numerous Of
fcials and employees who are by their
contract entitled to be paid in British
money, and as these are now getting the
equivalent of one-half more in Indian
money than they did formerly, those who
pay them find it a hardship. Since,
too, the whole burden of interest and
salaries falls finally upon the laborers,
they are becoming disconnected. AL
ready there is talk of increasing the
taxes to meet the deficiency caused by
the increase in the rupee value of the
pound, but the Government is afraid to
encounter the opposition which the
measure would excite.
What course will finally be adopted
to meet the emergency it is Of course
impossible as yet to predict. First of
all, the newly appointed Commission of
Inquiry into the subject will have to
perform it's duty and make its report,
and until that is done no measure can
be prepared for submission to Parlia-
ment. In the meanwhile it is salts.
factory to- observe that in the head
quarters of gold recommendation, which
the gold idolaters of this country revere
as a sort of holy city of their faith,
there is growing disposition to doubt its
absolute truth.
