The honest employer says No. The work
ingman says no. Do not believe for
a moment that the American people will
permit themselves to be thus bound and held
in the slavery of necessity. Slow as the
movement has grown, it is now the great
issue, and there is no power that can stop it,
and no sophistry that can obscure it. and
there are no workingmen who will hinder it
by incendiarism who will not be extin-
guished by other workingmen, who see not
only that monopoly must be subordinated.
but also see how it can be subordinated, and
who see that the way to subordinate it is not
to destroy the very means of existence OF the
whole of humanity.
Much has already been accomplished. Leg
islatures, courts, and Congress and President,
workingmen, manufacturers and merchants,
and ministers of the gospel, and lawyers,
and politicians, and editors, are all at work
at this moment in the solution of this great
problem of humanity. Labor in the van
guard, supported consistently and long by
thinking men, and by a few newspapers,
among which the Sentinel is proud to be,
have paved the way to this great question
until all America is of one mind, that mo-
nopoly must go, while all are conscious
that it must go so that in its absence
mankind will not be deprived of life and
power and civilization. Mr.. Powderly, we
think, almost prophetically says, in referring
TO his programme of policy for the Knights
to pursue, that ''if these things are done the
next five years will witness the complete
emancipation of mankind from the curse Of
monopoly" and Mr.. Powderly is right.
But it is inferred Mr.. Powderly did not
write it. Whoever did write it was friend
of his country, friend of labor, student of
events and leader among men. 1t evinces
that the writer not only perceives the evil,
but also perceives the impediments that lie
before those who would overcome it. In
every sense it is the production of master
mind and an exact statement of truth, and
we believe Mr.. Powderly wrote it.

The Globe-Democrat says:

Labor troubles always put Senator Vest in mind
OF his Sedalia strike story. He has been telling it
recently. He was attorney for the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas in 1877, when the troubles occurred
AT Sedaia the strikers took possession of the rail
road yards and property, and did about as they
pleased for several days. As the legal adviser OF
the company the senator had much to do with
the negotiations for the settlement of the differ
enees. At last it seemed as If everything was sat
isiactOrily arranged. Mr.. Vest went down to the
hall where the strikers committee was in session
The papers were read and the terms were fairly
discussed, the strikers expressing themselves as
willing TO raise the emOargo on traffic and go to
work. There seemed to be nothing more t. do
when striker arose and with great gravity said
there was one thing TO be considered yet and
doubtless Mr.. Vest could give an opinion upon it.
He reminded them that, as they well knew it was
Sunday. and he desired to know if the strikers
turned the property over TO the railroad company
on that day whether it would be legal act.

COST OF OPERATING TELEPHONE
EXCHANGES


We give the cost of operating sundry tele-
phone exchanges, from figures given by the
American Bell at late hearing before the
Legislature of Massachusetts,. Boston ex-
change, costing in 1888 $4,000, is as fol-
lows for July, 1885, fairly representative
month: Gross earnings, SIG, 47993; expenses,
pay of operators, s11,763.24; repairs and
maintenance, $1,990.1s; reconstruction,
S4O5.1S other expenses, principally pay
ments to the Bell Company, s., 247.54. This
leaves clear profit for the month of JuIy'of
s14, 716.6S after paying all rentals, royalties,
commissions. ex-territorial commissions and
Western Union commissions to the Ameri-
can Bell Company. At this rate the annual
profit of operating Boston exchange is S176,-
6O9.2S on plant valued by the Bell Com
pany at not over $4,000. This gives a
profit of about 140 per cent. yearly on the
total cost of the exchange. and all the
figures are compiled from the statements OF
the company itself, and are as unfavorable
as they can possibly make them.
1t is claimed that the cost of operating ex-
changes is greatly increased with the num-
Der of subscribers, yet 1t will be noticed that
the total cost of operators is less than 10 per
cent. of the gross revenue. Yet with this
showing, the attorney of the Bell Company
opposes any reduction in the Boston rates
1t also appeared at this hearing that ex'
changes not operated by the Bell Company,
but sub-let to individuals in Montpelier,
VT Laconia and Plymouth. N. H, and
other similar towns, using from 200 to sc
telephones are now running at good profits
on rate per month of$2 to 50.

FRANKLIN, Ind, March S5.-Yesterday
morning the family Of Henry Sanders liv-
ing in White River Township, this county,
and about ten miles northeast of this city,
had a very narrow escape from death by
poison. At the breakfast table one of the
boys remarked that the coffee did not taste,
good, and pushed his cup away. The rest OF
the family noticed, the ''queer taste. but
kept on drinking, shortly after they wers
all taken violently sick. A doctor was hasti-
" summoned and after a severe struggle all
ton K was 70 found that enough Rough

pot to have killed person by drinking a
very small amount of coffee. An affidavit
was sworn out against a son-in-law Of San

who bound him over to court Chaplin
says he can prove his innocence, as he was
not there Tuesday night, There Is q great
deal of excitement over the affair in that
