every single instance we will quit beaten
whenever the American laborer refuses to
make the reduction in living and in
wages necessary to equalize the labor cost

The man who says this has just counted
over the immense advantages this cOnti-

ties labor enjoys, and with it all, lin

PLYMOUTH, Wis, June 10.-A serious
collision on the Milwaukee d Northern
Railroad occurred yesterday afternoon,
mile south of the city, an engine with
crew of trackmen running into a wrecked
freight, which they were sent to assist.
Ten or more men were injured and four
seriously. Those whose injuries are the
worst are: Thomas Raspenson, carsmith,
Green Bay skull badly fractured; JOHN
Burke, section foreman, Appleton, left leg
fractured, and spine injured; Matt Amman,
trackmen, Appleton, scalp. wound and
shoulder badly bruised; Emil Dasinso,
Appleton, spine injured. The injured are
all alive this morning, and all will prob
ably recover except, perhaps Thomas Ras-
pinson, the carsmith from Green Bay, who
is in dangerous condition. The track
was cleared at midnight ana trains were
running as usual. 1t appears that the
wrecking crew sent out with the colliding
engine thought, from their orders, that
the wreck wrs above instead of below the
city.
The collision occurred on a curve, where
the other train could not be seen only for

MANY people think the Farmers al
lance are very silly in asking the govern
ment to take all their crops, issue cur
rency ON it, advance S0per cent. of value,
etc, etc. The scheme is the consumma-
tion of folly. But, when compared with
the tariff scheme and the silver coinage
idea, it rises in dignity. 1t is kindred
folly with those schemes. 1t is little
more moderate than the others and fairer
to every one, as compared with them.

ANOTHER REFORM.

The democratic party has one more re-
form to inaugrate. The deposit of pub
lie moneys, SO that the state or nation and
not the fiscal officer of the government
shall receive the interest for the deposit,
is to he demand and pledge of the dem
ocrats this fall. BY this means a large
part of the interest on the public debt can
be earned by the idle public moneys
This reform the democratic party inau-
gurated in this state in 1874, but the re-
pubIicans set it aside 1t is one of the
planks of the democratic platform now.

by the republican papers. They say it is
a scheme simply to enrich few silver

though nobody likes it. The silver men

their avarice Graves. The others oppose it
because it gives them too much.
