SILV RR. .

The true inwardness of the silver question is quite as clearly diAcernsd outside of this country as in 1t. Those who have silver to sell do not care what happens if they can sell their silver. But they are not the only ones to be considered. If their scheme should succeed they might not in the end have such rich thing as they expect. The Mexican Financier takes an interesting and reasonable view of tho matter. It thinks that some advance in the price of silver due to speculation is probable, but it gives good reasons for believing that 1t would not be permanent, since 1t would stimulate the production of silver and bring into working great many mines that have been abau- doned in the past because they could not be pro6tably worked. The effect on eilver mines would bs the same as that produced on copper mines by the operations of the French syndicate. Every pennyworth of advance in the price would reopen some hole in the ground that has been abandoned because it would not return new dollar for the old one spent in working 1t. The dis- covery of new mines would be correspond ingly stimulated, and the result would be, az the Financier puts 1t, "a temporary rise in silver, followed in two or three years by g tremendous reaction, to the disturbance of all values."
 This was precisely what happened when the copper syndioate set to work to control all the copper In the world. It got too much and had to 60 to pieces. If this government helps the silver men ts run corner in silver the afterolap will not be comfortable.

 railroad passage acress the English channel by means both of bridge and tunnel, Q double device by which the alleged advantages of both methods can be secured, is said to meet and overcome the opposition of number of the leading military authorities of England on this question of channel transit. The British parliament, acting under the advice of leading military men, declined to have the tunnel built, because 1t was believed that the Engliah end of it might be surprised by the French, who. holding the command of the passageway, could quickly pour thous- ands upon thousands of troops into England, thus invading and capturing the island with out exposing themselves to the risk of meet- ing the English war vessels. In view of op- position coming from this source, the pro- ject of bridge has been advanced.

 The more facts labor bureaus get together the more useful they are. Perhaps all the facts they can collect will not help to change matters great deal, but they will at least give basis for intelligent discussion. An interesting investigation concerning the wages paid in Massachussttsihas been made and it's results set before the public. The re- port covers the weekly wages paid to 248, 200 employees, or about two-thirds of the total number of employees in the establishments of the State engaged in manufacturing and me chanioal .industries. From an analysis of the tables 1t appears that Al, IA employees, or nearly IF per cent. of the whole number whose weekly wages have been ascertained, are receiving less than l$5 per week. There are 23,20l receiving .$5 but under $6 per week, 25,274 feceiv- ing $6 but under $7 per week, 22,5s3 receiving $7 but under $s per week, 17,023 receiving s but under g per week, and 19, ,58e receiving $9 but under $10. AL most 60 per cent. of those employed in man. ufacturing and mechanical industries in Massachusetts, therefore, receive weekly less than $10 for their compensation. Many of these, of course, are females, but large pros portion of them are males with families to support. The medium wage class, or that class in which the proportion of each sex re- eeiviDg specified wages approaches the pro- portion Of all persons employed teceiying the same wages, Is that in which the opera .tives receive ss but under $s per week.
 The laborers of Massachusetts can buy much more with what they get than they could with the same amount twenty-five years ago. but it will not be claimed that they are overpaid.

was in consultation with a mass Of men in
Knights Of Labor hall for several hours.
The men have grown bolder in the presence
of their leaders and say they can stop all
trains from New York to Chicago unless
the six CA points presented in their griev-
antps ase conceded them The railroads
have conceded all but five Of these points,
but the most important-w -wages--remains

trntiDn and concession, as the railroads
seem willing 70 give way to a certain ex-

The railroad employees here are very rest

strike Of their eastern brethren will be con-
