AMERICAN FEDERATION OF
LABOR.

NEW YORK, March 10, 1891.
To the Trade and Labor Unions of
America
FELLOW WORKERS. Greeting: True
to the pledges made to continue in the
struggle to establish the eight-hour
workday for all the toilers of our
country, the Detroit Convention of
the American Federation of Labor
selected the coal miners of the country
to make the demand for it's enforce
ment, May 1st, 1891.
You are aware of the brilliant sue
cess of the movement of the carpenters
last year, so that it requires but a re-
minder to bring all Of the toilers of the
country to a full realization of the i'm
portance of the eight-hoUr workday in
the trade selected to lead in our present
movement-the coal miners.
Of all classes of wage-wOrkers there
are few that appeal more directly to
our nobler impulses to cooperate and
help them to an improvement in their
material and social condition than the
miners
I am aware that the opinion is held
(and [ earnestly hope that events may
verify it) that the coal operators will
concede the eight-hour workday with
out the necessity of the men resorting
to a strike to enforce it, Be that as it
may, there is, no doubt that if there be
a large fund on hand to aid the miners
it will have a potent influence on the
coal operators to either concede the
eight-hOur workday, or in the event of
refusal to convince them in a short
time of necessity of complying with
the demand; in other words, the battle
for eight hours will be won when our
men are not only marshalled, but when
they have sufficient funds to carry on
the battle; hence, in the name of the
American Federation of Labor and our
great cause, I appeal to organized labor
to Immediately proceed to the work of
raising funds for the coal miners in
their impending struggle for eight
hours
I would suggest that organizations
would voluntarily assess their members
a small stipend weekly, collecting it
and forwarding the same weekly.
Wherever there is a central organiza-
tion or trades council committees
should be appointed for the purpose of

pound to reduce it, but l read that one
of the large manufactures just started
up claim that they can produce it pure
for II cents per pound. When we con-
slider that the supply of this metal is as
common all over the world as our clay,
and that the only cost or limit of it is
the reduction, that it is stronger than
steel, as durable as gold, as brilliant as
either gold or silver, we can but con-
clude that the use of silver for watches,
jewelry, table ware, and, in fact every
thing but money, is about over.
It would be impossible, think, to
tell exactly what proportion of the
silver that is mined in the world is
made into money, but [ think any
reasonable man will admit that the
United States cannot make all the sill
yer that is mined into money, and
thereby keep the price of it up, so that
16 pounds of it will be as valuable for
exchange with foreign countries as one
pound of gold, and unless this price is
kept up, and the silver continued to be
coined, the American farmer has got
to take in pay for his cotton, &c, a
dollar that will not buy a dollars
worth of goods in any market outside
of the United States.
And for use at home, why coin more
silver dollars, when the government
has found it necessary to build i'm
mense vaults to store the many mil
lions it has already coined, and issue
paper certificates, to be circulated in
place of the silver. And, if there were
enough one and two dollar bills, or GER
tifcates there would be very few silver
dollars handled by the farmers, and,
if the dollars, after being coined, are
to lay in the treasury, and paper bills
issued on them, would it not be as well
to issue the bills on land security, as
on silver dOllars2 1t is only the gov
ernment stamp that makes the silver
dollar anything more than 75 cts. or so
cts worth of silver, liable in a few
years to be worth not more than 20 cts.
or 25 cts. Now would not a paper dol
lar, based on two dollars worth of
farming land at it's present cash value,
be as good, as one based on Is cts. or 80
cts. worth of silver?
But am making my letter too long
If you deem this worthy of publication,
[ will write again and tell you why I
think the issue of money on land better
than the Sub-Treasury plan, and how
it could be done without many of the
objections raised against it.

NOT FREE.
Lenoir, N. @.

MR.. EDITOR:-I learn from your pa
per that the editor of the Rural Ne1U
Yorker has been visiting what he calls
free negro farmers, and pictures out
and tells what a destitute condition he
finds them in. When the Ne1U Yorker
calls them free negroes he makes such
a big blunder that he comes down on
his alfours and the mud was deep
No farmer in this country is free. Free
folks have free trade. No slave ever
had free trade. / have seen free folks
and [ have seen slaves, and know
what [ am talking about No doubt
the Ne1U Yorker thinks somebody is to
blame for this pitiful condition he
finds the negroes in. So do I. Right
and justice demands that this blame
should be put where it rightly belongs.
The PrOtectionists of this country are
to blame for the condition that the
Ne1U Yorker found these negroes in.
They have made laws that compels the
poor negroes and every other farmer
in this country to give one dollar and
fOrty-seven cents Of their labor for
every dollars worth of the manufac-
turer's labor they get; or in other
words the laws compel the farmers to
give $1.47 worth of farm produce for
every dollars worth of manufactured
goods they get. It will be readily seen
that these negroes are but small per
cent. over half free. If the NeU
Yorker had called them half free ne
grOes he could have kept his feet and
would not have blundered as he did
These negroes had done hard work
enough to have been well clad, and
they had earned a whole shirt, but the
government allows the manufacturer
to cut fOrty-seven per cent. of their
shirts off and this leaves the poor little
negroes with a very small fraction
over a half shirt, just as the Ne1U
ernment will make these negroes free
by giving them free trade, they will
soon have on whole shirts and whole
garments. If the NeU Yorker was to
visit these negroes a few years after
they had free trade, he would find
them in very different condition from
what he found them when it takes
nearly half of their labor to build up
a home market for the manufacturers
to sell to the farmers of this country
The farmers of this country have no
home market. The price of every
pound of cotton we raise is established
in Liverpool, and all that is sold at
home is sold by the Liverpool market.
