AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION.

SYDNEY, N. S. w, March 4, 1871
At the Australian Federation Conven-
ton to-day Sir Henry Parker moved
that a federal Parliament be establish
ed, composed of a Senate and a House
of Representatives; that free trade be
adopted throughout the federation;
that authority compose customs duties
be vested in the Federal Government
and in Parliament, and that the mill
tary and naval defences be intrusted to
federal forces under one command. He
appealed to the delegates to treat the
federal question in broad spirit, losing
sight of local interests.

A SOCIALIST CONGRESS.

BRUSSELS, March 4, 1891. The Bel
gian Labor Council has invited all
foreign labor associations to an inter-
national socialist workmen's congress
to be held in Brussels next summer be-
ginning on August 10. Delegates will
be present from all parts of Europe.
Reports will be made in the English,
French. and German languages on the
condition of the working classes and
the progress of socialism. The confer
ence will discuss the question OF the
legislative protection of workmen; the
right of association, strikes, boycotting
and cooperation, and the position and
duties of the working classes in con-
nection with militarism. The invita-
ton concludes with the words: "The
keynote of the Congress is a firm re-
solve to absolutely ~emancipate the en-
tire p~roletariat."

MASSACRE IN MADAGASCAR.

horrible massacre comes from NADIA
gascar. Ramiastra, Governor of the
Province of Belanona, r~esenting a petit
ton from the p%opulace to the govern
ment to defend them from crUelties,
massacred 278 persons, including men,
women and children belonging to the
leading families. The slaughter con
tinued for several days. The agonies
of the victims were in many cases pro-
tracted. Sometimes their limbs were
gradually dismembered, their heads
were asawn off and their bodies were
thrown to the dogs. Many of the wo-
men were outraged. The survivors
were forced to erect a trophy composed
of the heads of the victims. Popular
fury has caused the government to an
nOunce that the offenders will be pun
ished.

4. The only medium of exchange
accepted by other nations are gold and
silver bullion (bars, not coin). Conse-
quently our paper money, to be good
for the whole circuit of our national
exchange, must be redeemable in gold
or silver bullion on demand.
5. A bank does not need to keep
$1.00 In cash on hand for every dollar
of outstanding circulation. Allitneeds
to do is to keep enough on hand to
command the confidence of it's patrons
in it's ability to meet their demands
promptly. So of the U. S. Treasury
For instance, 500, 600, 600 in gold is
held as reserve for the redemption of
$3.50, OOO, 900 United States notes in
circulation.
6. There is not enough gold produced
to answer the increasing demands of
the worlds business, as a circulation
medium. At present 80 per cent. Of
our medium of exchange consists of a
credit currency, checks, drafts, notes,
bills of exchange, etc. Whenever a
breath of cold air strikes this vast vol
ume of credit currency it contracts, as
it did a few days ago when the Barring
Bros. failed, and that contraction pro-
duces a money stringency and a panic.
The volume of credit currency is a
great deal larger than it ought to be,
but there is not enough gold produced
to replace it with gold coin. What
shall we do?
Z. Quit coming either gold or silver.
Use both simply as a bullion reserve
with which to redeem the paper money
as the holders of that money desire
bullion for foreign trade. Then every
| dollars worth of gold could be the safe
basis for three to five dollars of paper
money, and the 1887, 900, 900 of gold
coin in circulation could, as bullion,
to 50, 600, GOO, 900 of legal tender paper
money.
s. Let the gold and silver bullion be
purchased at the market price. Let
the money issued on it be Issued, not
by banks, but directly, in return for
labor performed in the usual services
| rendered to the Government.
This plan seems to us perfectly feast
BILE, perfectly safe and perfectly just.
1t would result in nearly double our
present circulation, replace a large
part of the credit currency issued by
the banks at the rate of about 81. 90
currency on $1.OO of gold, with a legal
tender currency resting on the same
basis, but with the Government behind
it instead of the banks. l twould adopt

gently employed in e~ndeavOring to
convince the people that the owners of
silver mines and spectators In bullion
are the principal ag1tatOrs, and but
for them free coinage would have no
advocates. That the small number OF
mine owners and the few dealers IN
bullion are able to exert such an in
fuence upon the public mind as to
induce all assemblages Of farmers and
WOrkingmen tOdeclare for free coinage,
we + not credulous enough to believe.
1t is the settled sentiment Of a large
majority of the people who have given
attention to this subject that a large
volume of currency is necessary, and
as ours is the largest producer OF silver
of anv country On the globe, it is a
sensible conclusion that it should be
utilized as an instrument of exchange.
The discussions which are taking place
in every ~neighborhood are increasing
the friends Of silver, and free coinage
is certain at no distant day.
The New York Times says: There
is no evidence that any considerable
portion of the people of this country
are in favor of the free coinage of
silver"

Our contemporary is aware that
Farmers Alliances, Patrons of Industry

A CURIOUS RUSSIAN SECT.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 4, 1891
The Russian Government has decided
to construct a railroad from Tashkend,
a town of Asiatic Russia, ninety miles
northwest of Khokan, to Samarcand,
capital of the province of Zerafshan,
$50 miles east of Bokhara, on the river
Zerafshan.
The Russian Ministers view the Ger
man colonies as the leading factor in
the spread of the doctrines of Stundism
in Southern Russia The Stundists are
a Protestant sect, mostly Russians
from the Eastern Church, formed in
1917 by colonists of Wurtemburg, and
numbering in 1888 more than a million
adherents. The formulas of the Stund-
lists closely resemble those of the Ana
baptists. They repudiate the sacra-
ments and demand an equal distribu-
ton of property. A Synod of the
Eastern Church recently anathema-
tized the Stundists and pronounced
them to be guilty of b~lasphemy.
The Russian Government now pro-
poses to place special restrictions upon
the entry of German immigrants into
Southern Russia and to curtail the
privileges allowed to those who are al
ready resident within Russian territory.
AGRAY-HAIRED MOTHERS GRIEF
Policeman Murphy was accosted by
a feeble, gray-haired and intelligent
old woman in Third street, Jersey City,
on Sunday night. She sobbed as she
pleaded with him to save her daughter,
who was in the apartments of a woman
named Wilcox at No. 1917 Third street
and would not return home. The VIII
cox woman she averred was bad and
her rooms were the resort of disorderIy
characters. The policeman summoned
Patrolman Quinn and they raided the
apartments.
They found three men and three wo-
men in the place. A quarrel was go
ing on when they arrived and the
prisoners were under the influence of
drink. They captured Annie Wilcox,
Maggie Ryan and Mrs. Budd. The
latter is the daughter of the complain
ant. She is a married woman, but
does not live with her husband. She
has an infant child. The men arrested
were John Robinson, John McGrath
and John Harriott. The prisoners
were sentenced to thirty days IN the
county jail.
Mrs. Budd seemed out of place with
the degraded and hardened lot, who
smiled at their punishment. She was
overwhelmed with grief and her veneer
able mother wept at her daughters
disgrace. Justice ODonnell, after
exacting from Mrs. Budd a promise
that she would shun bad company In
the future, gave her some excellent adj
vice and discharged her.
