MIR McGFoRGE DEPENDS HIMSELF.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir My attention has been called 10 the fact that
several paragraphs have appeared in the papers Of the
day not altogether truthful in statement nor ex-
cossively hattering TO in dlction do not care
to contradict them but simply TO declare my disgust
at the methods adopted by the so-callad knights OF
Labor 10 defeat me Those methods now generally
understood and the wonder is that they allowed to
prevail. for public opinion is usually an equitable
though impcrious arbter. As fellow workman OF
forty our years standing, would advise District A.
Somby No. 40 TO revise their tactics before tne
community utterly loses hope that the true dignity
OF the laborer has not altogether departed and that
the lnalicnable right Of the individual Is TO be IOr
ever ignored Let them remember that their present
methods are almost universally cXercrated and depor d.
and that all sensible ightthindng men regard thcn a.
an unmitigted nuisance O be suppressed at all hazards
by the strong of the law, and thus to avert the
impending calamity Of organized capital In supreme
effort TO crush organized labor. ,,

GOLD THE ONLY SAFEGUARD.
How England's Chancellor Of the Exchequ,

How England's Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Would Guard Against Financial Panics.
LONDON. Jan. 29.-In the course of Mr..
Goschen's address at Leeds last evening he
said that provisions should be made to
render it unnecessary to seek foreign aid in
the event of a repetition of such q crisis as
had arisen in connection with the recent
troubles of the Barring Brothers. He added
that he was now engaged with the Bank of
England in devising q scheme to strengthen
the cOuntry's permanent resources. He
claimed it was the duty'o of the great bank
ing institutions of the country to assist
therein. Under certain conditions he would
embark in the issue of pound notes. Mr..
Goschen declared that the note printing
process in financial crisis was a danger, not
q resource. He would be no party to the
lsion of gold from the country by an
excessive issue of any fiduciary currency.
Mr.. Goschen declared alphabetically that he
preferred q stock of f2O, 900, 900 in gold
under central control to thirty millions in
the pockets of the public. He suggested
the issue of sovereign and half sovereign
notes against the gold, conditional or the
maintenance OF q cash reserve consider
ably larger than required to meet the or
binary exigencies of banking. In
regard to q plan to secure the lat
provision requiring banks to keep q fixed
proportion of their deposits in cash as ex-
c~essive. He advocated the Issue of half
sovereign notes against silver. Mr.. Goschen
also proposed q second gold reserve TO be
touched only at moments of commercial
peril. His whole speech was tentative, be-
ing intended to attract opinions from the
banking and commercial world.

Suppression of Sardou's Play Causes Hot De-
bate in the Deputies.
PARIS, Jan. .29.-The suppression of
"Thermidor' was the subject of an exert
ing debate in the Chamber OF DEPUTIES to-
day. NJ. Fouquier began the discussion
with a violent speech, in which he censured
the prohibition of "ThermidorD as an act
against the interests of dramatic art. 1t
was possible, he said, to be republican
without making a cult of the reign of ter
TOR. NJ. Bourgeois. Minister of Pub
lilo instruction and Fine Arts. said
that the government had not acted as q
dramatic censorate, but had lnterfered only
when the piece had led to disturbances.
N. Reinach expressed the hope that the
Republicans would remain faithful to the
principles of liberty. and that 1t would not
be less liberal than the monarchy of Charles
y. under which plays iclmical to the regime
were permitted.
NJ. Constants, Minister of the Interior.
said that il was no part of bis duty to Judge
dramatic work. After the second night OF
''ThermidOr." the Cabinet had learned that
tickets had been distributed In a certain
quarter m that preparations had been
made to raise q disturbance which 1t was
necessary TO prevent. NJ. Clemenceau said
that he considered the play directed against
the revolution AS q great historic whole
from which individual episodes could not be-
isolated. When the revolution occurred
