THE New York Central employed on the
average in 1890 21, 400 persons, and paid
them $13, ,331 ,S63. 1t now has about s3,-
600 persons employed, and pays them
bout $14, 500, 900 year. OF this great
army just ninety men have brought on all
the present trouble, as far is the road il
concerned, because they constitute the
highly skilled labor which conducts the
making up of freights in the Buffalo ter
minal of the New York Central. This rail-
road with the rest, is. in short, in much the
same situation as the human body would
be in if valve to main artery "struck'
The valve is a small matter, but if it gel
out of order circulation stops.
Switch-tending is not only highly skill
ed labor, requiring both experience and fs-
miliarity with freight yard, but in the
present condition of freight coupling-due
to partial reform-it is very dangerous
pursuit. more dangerous than ever befo re.
OF the 1000 employees killed and 90, 900 in
jured on American roads, an enormous pro-
portion are slain ..or manned in coupling
cars and making up trains. As far as its
risks go, big freight yard is very much
like battlefield in which every man car
ries his life in his hand alongside of his
coupling pin, and it often happens that he
drops both together.
Hazardous as the work is, it is well
paid; and the national Switch tenders AS
sociation not long since vehemently pro-
tested against diminishing the dangers OF
their work by improved couplers because
this change was certain, also to diminish
wages. Whatever the original dispute
may have been, however, it has become
eclipsed, and is to-day altogether forgot
ten in the absolute necessity Of restoring
order, protecting property, and enforcing
the right ofany man to work at switch tend
ing who desires to do SO. To vindicate
these fundamental rights and privileges
New York State has been forced to call
out ten-fold as many National Guardsmen
as the strikers at ruinous expense. Yet
there is probably no question but that q
small, compact State police would have
preserved order repressed riot, and pro-
tected property from the start.-Ex.

Retaliation.

On Saturday President Harrison issued
a proclamation directing that from and
after Sept. l, 1892, until further notice, q
toll of 20 cents per ton be levied, collect
ed and paid on all freight of whatever kin
or description passing through the st.
Mary's Falls Canal in transit to any port
of the Dominion of Canada, whether car
ried in vessels of the United States or of
other nations.
Included in the aftermath of this Canad-
ian retaliation proclamation is statement
that this course has been under careful adj
visement since before the adjournment OF
Congress. After the act of July 26th, au-
thorizing retaliation, had gone through
both houses without opposition, it was
stated that the members of the Foreign
Affairs Committees, who reported the bill,
had done so at the personal request of The
President.
The proclamation is a retaliatory meas
ure for tolls collected from American
freight passing through the Welland canal.

they predict that John M. Greer will re-

STRIKES WILL NOT AVAIL.

The recent experiences of labor or
gsnizstions ought to satisfy them that
there is but one road to success in the
effort to secure justice to labor. At
Buffalo, N. Y, the railroad companies
were openly and defsntly violating
the laws of the state making eight
hours a days work, and when the
men refused to longer submit to the
imposition, the militia was called out,
not to preserve the peace, but to sus-
tain the companies in the violation of
the law.
In Tennessee, the displacement of
honest free labor by the convict sys-
tenn caused the free miners to revolt,
and the militia was called out to put
them down.
At Homestead, the manager of one
OF the greatest manufacturing estab-
lishments in America undertakes no
less task than that of destroying or
ganized labor in America, and the
militia of the state is called into
requisition to insure the success Of the
disbolicsl plot. The organized mill
tary force of the state is not only used
to intimidate the men and overawe
public sentiment, but the enlisted
men are put into the works to per-
form the labor that belongs of right
to the locked-out workmen.
1t would seem that these things
would be sufficient to satisfy laboring
men that the only place to strike with
any hope of success is at the ballot
box. When they learn this truth,
there will be hope of Justice to those
who toll, and not before.

A WISE SAFEGUARD,

At the first national convention of
the Peoples party at Omaha the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
The Peoples party at the outset, to secure
permanent control of the party organization
Of the people unaffected by the interests of
those in public service, does hereby in
national convention assembled at Omaha
on this 4th day of July, 1892, establish this
ordinance as fundamental law of party or
ganization, viz: No person holding any
office or position of profit, trust or emolu-
ment under the federal or any state or
municipal government, including senators,
congressman, and members of the legisle-
ture, state and local, shall be eligible to sit
or vote in any convention of this party, and
copy Of this ordinance shall be annexed
to every call for any future convention of
the party.
What other party ever thus pro-
vided for the continued control of its
machinery by the people! Should
the Peoples party come into power,
its conventions will be composed of
delegates elected from the great body
of the people, and not from post
masters, government appointees and
dead-beats, as has been the case with
conventions of the two old parties.
This is a wise safeguard and one that
the voters of this nation will sppre-
ciste.

stating an absolute untruth. Th'
law Of 1890 totally suspends it's coin
age after the LIST Of July Of that year
Mr.. Perkins continues:
On the old basis of 16 to with gold, an
ounce of silver makes S1.29 in coined
money, so that, buying at present prices, il
makes SO cents Of silver coined worth $l.29
II we should repeal that law, and give to
American miners and owners of silver the
right to have it coined at our expense into
money, what would be the result2 We
would not get more money, but these mine
owners would take 80 cents of silver and
have it coined into money at our expense,
and worth $1.29, and put the difference in
their pockets.
Let us state this proposition another
way. The government now takes
from the miner an ounce Of silver
which it has reduced from $1.29 to 80
cents by discriminating Legislation,
coins it into money and puts the diff
ference into its pocket. What bust
ness has the government to do this?
Is not the producer entitled to the
full value of his products Has the
government a moral right to so legis-
late as to reduce the value of that
product and pocket the profitg If
it may legltimately do this with sill
yer, why not with wheat and corn and
every other product Of American
labor with equal propriety?
Again, who does not know that if
gold were demonetized and discrimi-
mated against as silver is that its
commercial value would be dimin-
ished as that of silver is now? Now,
there is not q silver mine in existence
that does not also yield a certain per
cent. of gold. Prof. Walker tells us
that the mines of Nevada yield As
per cent. of gold, and So per cent. Of
silver. Why does not our Washing
ton senator raise the same objection
against our miners receiving the profit
upon the free coinage of the As per
cent. Of gold that he does to having
them receive the profit on the 55 per
cent. Of silverH

does not kNO1U how they would be

see that his term expires when the

of good sense knows that the price of
silver governs the price of sgricul-

in the country would therefore be
benefited by the reconciliation of
silver and its consequent increase in
value; and every man, woman and

A NEW LEADER.

In sending to the party throughout
the state its cordial greeting in O pening
the campaign, the Democracy of Ram
sey county yesterday signitied its inten-
ton of presenting to the party a candi-
date for the guhernatorial nomination.
Judge THOMAS WILSON had already
announced that he could not be at the
call of his friends in that capacity,
and it became necessary TO seek
a new leader. From the time hon
ored veteran who has so often
responded to the demands of party
duty, and whose voice and example have
for years been thrown into the breach
from the sage who has received all the
honors his party in the state has had to
bestow-the Democracy turns to new
and younger man, though not to one
unknown and untried. DANIEL W.
LAwLER'S is name familiar wherever
the voice OF the people has been up
lifted in the state in an appeal for re-
lief from political wrongs and oppres-
sions. He combines all the courage
and progressiveness of youth with the
wisdom and discretion of experience.
1t is the expressed wish of Ramsey
county that in his hands be placed the
baton OF leadership which Judge WILL
son has relinuuiShed

III. w. Childs Secures the Nominal
ton for Attorney General.

Mr.. Barto, Of Sank Center, said he
presented the name of man for attor-
neY general who was the peer of any at
torney in the state; man who was a
worker in the Republican ranks from
the ground up; he worked all the time
for the Republicans. He would not de-
tain them further, but present the name
of d. w. Bruckart. of Stearns county.
E. Kendall, of Duluth, said st. Louis
county was the banner Republican
county of the state, and while they had
not a Candidate to present, they had
interest in one. He was all able attor-
ney, vote getter. and he was Frank
Wilson. of Goodhue.
Henry Johns, of Ramsey, got in word
about the Republican victory last spring
in st. Paul. ard then presented the
name of Henry w. Childs, the present
assistant attorney general. He was the
peer Of any attOrney.and one of the best
workers in the Republican party. Prob
ably. in the eyes OF the enemy from
Hennepin. his only fault was that he
came from st. Paul.
Frank F. Davis-On behalf of the
enemy from nennepin 1 second the
nomination of Mr.. Child.
This sally was greeted with much
laughter and applause.
Lafayette French, of Austin, placed in
nomination U. S. Kingsley, of Austin.
He was especially qualified for the posi-
ion, and Mr.. French made very tell
ing speech. Mr.. Kingsley was true to
his party, to his friends, and was re-
spected by all who knew him. He
would give strength to the
ticket where it needed strength,
in the First congressional dis
trict. Common fairness aud COM
mon justice demanded the nomination
of MIR. Kingsley. Mower county had
only once had candidate before Re
publican convention, and he urged the
convention to recognize their request at
this time.
d. OConnor, of Pennington, had a
