a strike at the Looner Mines

The white miners on Looney Creek struck
Monday because negroes were being employed
Coal came in yesterday, however, and it is
probable the matter has been adjusted. There
was another strike at the furnace, which de-
laved work for several days. The men struck
because Of reduction in wages, but returned
at the reduced figure.

The fact that Gov. Hill carried this State
in 1855 aud Cleveland did not, has been q
sore spot in the anatomy Of the few Mug
wumps. Once in a while one Of them rises
up and charges tfcachery upon the gov
ernor and his friends. 1t never occurs to
them that the personal unpopularity OF
Cleveland had ANYTHING to do with it:
They ncyer reflect that the quality OF
democracy which suited George Jones,
Larry Godkin, and their sort, may have
been repugnant TO many democrats: Gro
yer Cleveland ran behind Gov. Hill in
this State in 1882 and again in 1855.
Grover Cleveland ran behind his party
ticket in 1883 in almost every State in
the Union. Grover Cleveland ran behind
every democratic candidate in New York
city in 1855. Was there such widespread
desire among democrats for his defeat
that the hands ofall other democrats were
raised against him? If so. his renomina-

Mr.. Gallatin, of the National Bank

of the occasion, IN behalf of the banks
and against the bin, and on behalf Of the
Banks and Boards Of Trade, he submit
ted to the representatives. Of the govern
ment the following proposition for rails
ing money-the last clauses Of the 9th
and 9th sections Of which We call es-
pecial attention to:
l. "a tax bill to raise, in the diff
ferent modes of taxation, 1926, ,O0O, 900,
over and above duties on imports.
g Not to issue any demand treas
ury notes, except these authorized at
the extra session in July last.
3. Issue 800, 0Oo,0o notes at two
years, in sums of five dollars and up
wards to be receivable for public dues
to the government, except duties on
imports.
/. A suspension Of the sub-treasury
act, 20 as to allow the banks to become
repositories of the government Of all
loans, and to check on the banks, from
time to time, a. the government may
want money.
5. Issue Six per cent. twenty year
bonds, to be negotiated by the secreta-
ry of the treasury, and without any linn
itation as to the price he may claim fol
them in the market.
6. That the secretary Of the treas
ury be empowered to make temporary
loans to the extent Of any portion Of
the funded stock authorized by Con
gress, with power to hypothecate such
stock, and If such loans are not made
at maturity, to sell the stock hypothe'
Gated for the best price that can be OBJ
tained.'
In other words, if the government
would put its bonds upon the market
and sell them at the highest market
prices-permitting the bankers to FL
market prices at what they saw fit; or il
the government would hypothecate the
bonds, giving the holders chance tt
sell them to the highest bidder-they
themselves being practically the only
bidders-they would help the govern
ment carry on the war!

Referring to the London despatch,
rslaaive 70 conspiracy to overthrow
silver and silver certificates, quoted in
eur editorial under the title, aThe Tail
ef The European Gold Kite, the Wieh-
its Eagle Of September 26th says:
sThs gold standard advocates of Eu-
rope are sapplemsnting the endeavors
Of their ilk in the United States to
thvazt bi-metallism here. They would
have % and the balance of the world
believe that the silver policy now pur-
sued BY this government has already
brought about condition that threat
ems . panic IN the near future. The
point to that declaration is that there
has been issued BY this government, al
ready, too large volume Of certificates
representing silver, the effect Of which
viii ie to shake public confidence in the
stability Of money values. Prompted
- this scheme is by selfish interests,
instead Of the public welfare, there Is
nothing surprising in such declaration,
but it will not cause many people in
this country to think that there Is too
much money in circulation, or that its
value 10 in the least impaired"
And yet the Eagle continues to sup
port the party which has always been
the enemy Of silver, and which has, by
its servility or worse, to the money
power, allowed that power to become
vast and menacing to the welfare Of the
people.
The Eagle also supports the party
that champions higher tariffs in time OF
profound peace than the boldest pro-
tectionist ever dared to advocate when
war awful necessities were demanding
instant or constant supplies; while the
Eagle is opposed to high tariff. In
the name of consistency, whnt kind oi
conduct is this?

ssBLOCKS OF FIVE"

The state central committee and the
republican league held an important
meeting in Topeka on the 18th day of
September. At this meeting they re-
solved ''to introduce the Indiana meth
od' in the next election. This means
ssBlocks of Five"
To those who do not understand the
nsaning Of this, I will explain it.
The voters Of Indiana were divided
into sections cont aing s voters, one Of
whom was chosen - captain, and char
sed, through al his hopes Of political
prsferment to vote the whole 'tBlock. :"
II hs could vote them without payment
Of money he received the highest cred
il nark-and first chance for Office.
II he had to pay out money to secure
the votes, every vote purchased lessen
Cd bis own chance to get Doodle in Of
ice.
But, "vots the Block, was the edict,
s'6 it takes one thousand or ten thous-
and dollars to accomplish it."
It i pertinent to ask the question,
Who furnishes the money to accomplish
this villainy? The answer is plain.
Corporations, trusts and syndieates.
banks, mortgage loan and railway cor
porations, whose interest it Is to ride
the people into slavery.
Let the people, if they would secure
their liberties, wake out of the Rip Van
Winkle sleep into which they plunged
% years ago.
Cast Of the devil fishes that now
suck the vitality from the body polite.
Elect representatives, take them from
among the wealth creators, the common
laboripg men and secure legislation to
protect themselves.
