THE New York Tribune has the follow
log on the labor troubles in the east. The
war between the cigar makers union ard
the knights OF LSbor in New York is the
especial feature in that CITY, and Is csus
ing big split in the ranks of the working
men there:
The Knights of Labor in New York are
al war with the trades unions. At the
same time. the KaIghts IN Massachusetts
are excluded from some establishments by
employers. Great complaint is made, as
If this exclusion were an act of injustice
and cruelty of which the Knights
themselves would not De guilty.
Yet, In trying 10 shut. out
from employment unionists who do
not please TO join the organization of
Knights of Labor, or independent workers
who do not care 10 Iln either organize
tlon, the Knights are guilty of injustice
and cruelty. Where are the interests of
workers served by these struglesf The
Knights Of Labor attempt to shut them
out il they do not IN, and the unionlsts
If they do. the knight propose to drive
them out OF all employment If they do not
become members, and employers are thus
pushed to exclude them il they are menu
oers Surely the prospect resulting from
such controversies as these is not q pleas
ant QUE for the worker. The trouble
Is that TO which the Tribune

society and with tree labor, SO far as they
attempt TO deny freedom to any class az
workers Whenever they begin to exclude
non members from employ ment, whether
n strife with esch other or in strife with
employees, they invite and sometimes ccnI-
pei retaliatory measures. The only safe
course for organizations of workingmen il

by refusing TO demand the exclusion OF

TRE TRLRD PARTY.

Il is . common error, Indulged IN by
many of our exchanges, TO speak of the
mutual atmiratiOn society which met in
this city some time ago and passed resO-
buttons endorsing almost everything under
the sun. from female suffrage TO the adopt
ion Of aFepublican prohibition Law, as the
prohibition party. This is incorrect, for
many reasons, the principal one Of which
is that the republican party of the state
of Kansas Is and always LAS been the pa
rent and protector Of the prohibition move
ment, and whatever success has crowned
the efforts against the liquor traffic are en-
tirely due to the republicans. Let the
third party succeed in what thu y admit to
be their sim-the election of democrats to
of1ce-And the real, honest temperance
advocates who are being led astrsy will
probably see the error of their way. The
democrats are the open and avowed enc
mics of prohibition, and do not hesitate to
state the fact in their platform. This be-
ing the case, We see no reason why repub-
lican prohibitionists should vote to put the
democracy In power-unless, like st. John
and few others, they have private or pc.
cuniary reasons, or are sOreheads.

THE TRADE DOLLAR.


The addition of the clause In the 'sMOr.
rison resolution" providing for the re-
demption of the trade dollar which wa
agreed 70 by both houses was q wise and
Judictous measure and at least redeems
he promise Of the government -[Sundsy

II ever In all this beautiful land Of ourl
there was perpetrated swindle, 1t was
that OF the trade dollar. From beginning
70 end the entire career of the trade dollar
has been a simple confidence game. with
the redeeming feature in the latter case that
the victim may appeal TO the police, with q
possibility or getting some satisfaction
where the operator Is known, while In
the case OF the former every citizen in our
country who had trade dollar in his pos
session at the time it was publicly declar-
ed to be ''only trade dollar" and not In i.
tended for home circulation, was swim
died out OF the difference between its bull
lion value and the value stamped on its
tace under the signature of the United
States.
The probabilities are that not one in q
hundred Of those who read this article but
had at least one trade dollar IN his pos
session at the time they were DEPRECATED,
and therefore was sufferer to the differ
ence. By this first swindle almost every
Citizen of the United States was wronged
personally, and small amount virtually
stolen out OF his pocket. By this sddi-
tional Morrison resolution" every tax
payer In this county would be again
wronged through his interest in the United
States treasury, and the Wall street and
other eastern SPECTATORS who were into
this secret, and who have been accumu-
lating these deprecated dollars for months
past, would reap an enormous harvest,
which we as citizens would one and all
have to pay our part of.
To ssy.fhAt because the stamp of the
United States was placed on the coin Is
not-st this late dAy-a good argument
that it should be redeemed at Its face value
when probably handful of men have al
most the entire amount in their possession,
purchased at discount which we were
forced 70 psy by as PLAIN and bare-fac0d q
swindle as was ever perpetrated by bunco
man. 1t Is q consolation to know that
this inlquitous act failed OF passage by
reason Of the adjournment OF congress be-
fore executive action was taken. This
would be q magnificent place for CIeve-
LAID to get In popular veto.
