II. C Dun & Co.'s Weekly RCview-LcEiti-
mate Business Unprecedented.
New YoRK, Nov. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade says: The sim
pie fact that bank exchanges outside OF
New York in the last week but one OF Il
presidential campaign exceeded those OF
last year by 10! per cent, the clearings
OF last year having been exceptionally
large, proves that the volume OF legiti-
mate business is unprecedented, for only
q part Of the increase eau be attributed
to excess OF speculative operations. In
stocks the sales here have been only
about !, 100000 shares for the week; in
wheat about 36,500,0O0; other markets
rather smaller than usual. Reports
indicate marked improvement in the
volume OF trade at Nashville, Memphis
and Detroit, and q satisfactory business
at nearly all other cities, but at Philadel.
phia, Pittsburgh and Kansas City the
prevailing quiet is attributed to political
excitement. A shade OF stringency in
money is noted at st. Paul.
In the iron business, though sales in
October are thought to have considera'
bly, exceeded the production, other
transactions Of considerable magnitude
are noted, including sales by the Thomas
Company for 1880 delivery at SIS. The
closing OF contracts for 2l,500 tons oi
rails for the Vanderbilt roads made the
week one OF exceptionally large trans
actions, but quotations are still S27 so Ia
S29 at eastern mills. Bar iron is easier
but prices grew more irregular, and for
mer quotations for nails are not main
tanned. The wool market is firm. The
dry goods trade has been comparatively
quiet, the demand for mems wooIeD and
knit goods being moderate, and fol
dress goods quite irregular, cotton goods
are generally firm, without large trans
actions. II is reported that an advance
Of Ave cents in carpets will be soor
effected.

A Wheeling miner is in receipt OF the
following from friend in Fairmont:
"There was an article printed in the
Ttst Firyinidn about the "pluck-me"
stores Mt Custom and Montana mines
which the Democrats are denying. They
sent around paper, which all but
seven of the men at CASTOR signed,
stating that there is no such thing as a
"pluck-me" store there, but that every
man receives his earnings every month
in cash. Now this is not the case. After
the man who runs the store gets num-
ber of the envelopes he takes the money
out and gives the men the empty envel-
opes. This is the case in nearly every
instance. The miners did not know
what they were doing when they signed
it, but they do now. The paper, am
told, is to be printed with every mans
name to it, and sent to Wheeling, Mar
tinsburg, New Martinsville, and so on
all over the State"

NEwBURo, W. Va, Nov. 2.-The minei
who has been spoken OF in the INrELLI
GENcER as having been sent out with
money to be used for Judge Fleming is
known here, where he has recently visit
ed and given his scheme away. He has
always been known MS Republican, and
until now there has been no reason to
suspect his loyalty to that party. He
came here on Thursday, October 90, and
had a conference with well known
Democrat in the postolIice. He said
while here that he had been sent out by
Judge Flemiug's friends with money to
see what could be done to capture the
labor vote for Fleming. He said he was
going TO the shaft here and then to the
Austen mines to see what he could do
there.
He stated that he told FIeming's
friends, who employed him at the Gas
ton mines, in which Fleming is inter
ested, that the thing was against his
politics and he did not want to do it.
They replied, so he said, that his politics
was all right, for they wanted him to
work among Republicans and would
furnish him all the money necessary.
The next day, Friday, this Republican
miner went from here to Irondale and
opened his matter to another Republi-
can whom he invited to join him, say
ing that Fleming's friends would
put up money freely and the two
could make quite a stake. He said
in Irondale as he said here, that
he did not want to go into the
business, but was afraid he would lose
his job II he did not. He was particu-
larly averse to taking money into the
Kanawha Valley to use among miners,
but this was insisted on, and it is
thought that he is down there now. He
pulled roll OF money out OF his pocket
and showed it to the man he wanted to
90 in with him. The roll seemed to be
composed entirely OF s. bills. AS he
showed the money he remarked thatlhe
had slots OF the stuff" but didn't think
it would do Fleming much good.
Whether he meant by this that he
would keep the money or that Fleming's
case was hopeless, he did not explain.
The INTELLIGENCER has the name Of
the Republican miner above referred to
and OF the persons to whom he opened
his scheme. The proper use will be
made OF the information.

erected at cost Of fll,000. The first
instament, amounting to fl,34s, was
mostly spent in preliminary expenses,
nearly the whole sum finding its way
into the capaclOus pockets of the Official
harpies above mentioned. At meeting
of this Board abouta month ago, though
at that time only about 30 cottages out
of the 1870 were in the course of con.
struCtion, it was stated that e15 had
been given to the engineer, $50 to the
clerk, $50 to the four relieving officers,
and e30O to the solicitor q the last men
toned having also been previously paid
several heavy sums for preliminary
work, and the clerk having altogether
received tl20 up to that date. These
enormous sums for comparatively trif

duties of the officials being continu-
ous they could not be paid off in full

by the already over-paid officials. Re

wholly nlust and leads to much crime
and restitution. Cost must be made the
limit of price, and that will do away
with profit, and speculation, which is
another way of despoiing the laborer.
An industrial and political education is
the only means of arriving at the goal Of
industrial freedom. The Malthusian
doctrine that the tendency to increase
Of population OutrunS the means of sub
sistence Is utterly false, and the doctrine
Of Nautilus that overproduction is the
cause of industrial depression is entirely
without foundation, since all the people
on the globe could be allotted each one
eighth of an acre of land in the State of
Texas alone. Thousands of millions of
happy men, women and children could
find homes on earth under the system of
universal cooperation which is soon to
be.
The wages system must fall because it
is unjust. The labOrer too often looks no
lurther than to some slight improvement
in his condition, like procuring a liNe
bettel pay for his services, or shorten y
the hours of his toll He should look FOR
a complete revolution in the system, that
he may be master of himself SO long
as he sells his labor at any price he in
some degree sells his liberty. Under the
cooperative system he will work from
choice and not from compulsion, which
is the difference between master and
slave. The wage servant owns his body
only, and must take care of it with such
means as the wage master chooses to
allow. The slave master owns the body

supply his necessities and desires with
goods at cost.
The labor certificate will be an inyarl-
able measure of value, and under its use
we shall hear no more of hard times, y
"striugency in the money Market or of
Financial crises" The stability of the
unit value will prevent these. Under the
| present system our measure OF value Is
a fradulent measure. 1t is like an elastic
yardstick which the dealer can extend in
buying and contract in selling. A specie
standard of value-whiCh will stand no
where-and a specie basis for our cur.
rency which may at any time be shipped
to other cllmes sunk in the ocean, OF
stolen--is a specious deception, and a
snare to the laborer. Credit is the only
basis and labor the only standard for
true currency. Under the present sys-
tenn, the laborer of the United States
who, according to Daniel Webster, IS The
United States, furnishes credit to th'
national banks and then pays interest on
his own credit. We must issue rlol'e,

ANOTHER " SQUARE DEAL. "
A Writer in a San Francisco Capitalist
Paper ON Socialism.


There is man on the Bulletin
who for ten or fifteen years has kept
himself so busy writing editorial
articles against Socialism that he has
no time to acqualnt himself with the
nature of it. In emitting his latest
blast Of icy disfavor he enumerates
several types of Socialists, and adds,
"After all these come those Socialists
who from their wild desire to violently
overturn the existing social system, to
kill the rich and divide the plumber, to
establish an impossible reign of license
on the ruins OF law and Orutr, are pro-
perly termed Anarchists and Nihilists.
Then why not term them so?
Why call them Socialists? There is
vastly wider difference between an
Anarchist and Il Socialist than there
is between an Anarchist and plain,
everyday fool like the Bulletin man.
Socialism may be wise or unwse, but
it does not mean murder, violence,
plumber nor any oyerturnlng Of
things. 1t insists upon law and
order with All emphasis more dis
tinct and reliance more absolute
than any system that has ever been
conceived. They are the very basis
of Its hope. Not one principle of
Soclaliam is by any one held to be
possible of application except by
absolute subordlnation of the lndl-
vidual to the State. That man of
to-day who is permitted to write
opinion IN public journal is so
deadly ignorant as to confound So
cialism with AnarchIsm, or think
there is any other relation between
them than rreconcilable antagonsm,
this is a phenomenon having the
dignity of a grave public scandal.
Socialism and Anarchism are the
two extremes of political thought
they are parts of the same thing II
sense that the terminal points of s
road are parts of the same road
Between them, about midway, lle
