How the Homestead Plant Appeared a
Week Ago.
a correspondent Of st. Louis paper who
visited the Homestead plant on the ID of
July thus describes the preparations made
by the proprietors to place the mills in a
position to resist any attack upon them
from without: The works lie on both sides
of the railroad track, and the only entrance
to the mills, which are ON the river side of
the track, is by means of large elevated
bridge rising about % feet above and over
the track. The entrance to the bridge is
by means of long flight Of stairs directly
in front of the compaBy's Office building. so
that not one man can get into or pass from
the m Ills without being under the scrutiny
OF ali in the Office. A small watch-tOwer
oman eDts the head Of the fight of steps.
In this watch-tower has been placed one Of
the IA electric searchlights to be used in
the mill. This one light can be thrown so
as 10 illuminate the railroad track for a
mile up or down.
Cameras with fash lights have also been
placed at different parts of the mill to take
pictures of assailants so that they may be
recognized and arrested or refused work
there hereafter. as the company may decide.
oa the river front of the works there is a
patrol kept up. On the ways made for 1t
lies the Annie. a steam pleasure launch that
belongs 10 the late Superntendent Jones.
This has been prepared, calked and over
hauled. to use In case of an attack from the
rear by means of skiffs, with small swivel
gun mounted on the bow ready for action.
No fort In the country to-day that Is not
surrounded by stone or brick walls is better
prepared to Withstand siege or attack than
Carnegie works al Homestead. Watchmen
have been placed on guard q; each end of
the works on the railroad, and every one ap-
preaching the works Is warned off the track
and told that the only way to gain access to
the mills is by making detour by way Of
the county road along the hillside above the
works that lie farthest from the river.

the Merits of the Metal.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, July Z. = General
Weaver, the Peoples party candidate for
the Presidency. delivered a speech OF some
length at Chautauqua to-day on The subject
OF free silver. Speaking of the cry that free
silver would cause all the gold to leave the
country and cause silver to take its place,
besides making this country the dumping
ground for European silver, Weaver said
that the final remark was made by a
preacher at Portland the other day He
said. reverently, 80, Lord, let Europe
begin to dump" This country" said
Weaver, cannot make money that will cir
cuiate beyond its shores. 1t is only ms bull
lion that money reaches the Old World
Senator sherman said q few days ago that
the trouble with the American silver dollar
Is that you can't get rid OF it. III you pay
1t out 1t comes right back to you. That's
the Kind OF dollar for me exactly. What
we want Is dollar worth less as bullion
than II Is as money. Then it will stay at
home. We want to make money for the
American people, not for Asia or Europe.
What We want In this country is the
approval of Washington, Madison, Mon
roe, Adams. Jackson ana Lincoln.
Let us have unlimited coinage Of silver at
the present ratio. Some one says, Suppose
~ gives US 100 mucn money! VINO Is AFRAID
OF having too much gold and silver in the
country? Remember. brother, you are iiv-
ing under an economical system to-day,
where 92 per cent Is carried on on
credit and per cent cash. President
Whitney Of the Bankers Association
said that IL the banks were called
upon to-day to pay their depositors In gold
what they owe them, they could not pay 8
cents on the dollar, and il they pay in cur
rency. gold and silver, they could not pay
over 10 cents on the dollar. and that is ex-
actly true according to statistics. Silver
has been legislated down to the 70-cents-on-
the-dolllar basis. and that enables England
to take our 70-cent dollar as bullion when it
is worth in India leo cents on every cargo of
wheat they buy. 1t brings the wheat.raiser
Of India In competition with the wheat

Weaver said the bullion owner would not
realize the profit as is generally said he
would. In conclusion he appealed 10 all
to lay aside party idolatry; investigate
and, having found the truth, go to the polls

Illinois Workmen Urging Peaceful
Settlement of the Trouble.
CHICAGO, July z. - Governor Fifer and
the Republican State Committee had q
meeting here to-day. A delegation Of steel
workers from Joliet had protracted au-
dienee with the committee and urged the
Republican managers of Illinois 10 tender
their offices for an honorable settlement Of
the difficulties at Homestead One Of the
spokesmen called sitentio TO the details of
the trouble and to the fact that the IRON
workers of Illinois might be involved il
there was not an early adjustment. The
committee gave the delegation the as
snrance that they would take action in
placing the party and its candidates in a
proper position on the question.
The Trades and Labor Assembly of
Chicago has retained an attorney and will
proceed against the PinkertOns for raising
companies of armed men, in violation OF the
statutes of Illinois. Steps have been taken
to prevent by legal measures the sending

The Homestead Labor troubles the Sub
ject OF an Extended Discussion.
WASHINGTON, July THE discussion in
the Senate on the labor troubles at Home
stead was continued to-day by Palmer,
VOORHEES,. Hale, Gallinger. Stewart and
Sanders.
Palmer's speech on the resolutions for In
auiry into the trouble at Homestead was
remarkable for the advanced position taken
by the Hin ois Senator in maintaining the
right Of factory and railroad employees to
continuous employment at reasonably fair
rates OF compensation.
Palmer said the presence of a Pinkerton
ar ned force at Homestead was Ia contempt

of the authority of the State Of pennsyl
vania. 1t was difficult for American citi-
Zens, whether in the right or wrong, to sub
NIT to being driven by an armed force. He
maintained, however. that the citizens of
Homestead we're in the right, as according
to the principles of law which should here
after be applied to the solution of such
troubles they had right to be there. Those
large manufacturing establishments WOULD
nave nave TO . be regarded as holding
their property subject to the cor-
relative rights of those without whose
services t6eir property would be utterly
valueiess, that only conceded to them the
right to a reasonable profit on the capital
invested in enterprises. He maintained
furthermore that the workngmen, having
spent their lives III particular line of ser
vice. had the right to insist on permanent
employment and also on reasonable COM
pensatlon Tor their services. he maintained
that at the time OF the assaults the people
at homestead were where they had right to
be and on the ground they had q right to de-
Iend, ana their conduct was in the line of their
rights. Manufacturing establishments were
phDllc institutions, just as railroads were.
because they work fer the public, employed
tie public. and because the men in the SER
vice became unfit for other service. While
conceding the right of the capitalist to cou-
troll his property and to reasonable re-
ward for his investment, he claimed that
the laborer had right TO permanent en-
plOyment during good behavior. OF course,
the lab0rer was compelled to submit to the
exgencies of business. Where profits were
small, both parties would have to diyile
the loss, and where they were large they
would have to be divided. That, he main
talned, was the law of to-day, because the
law was the perfection of reason.
voorhees, speech oil the same subject was
made up principally of attacks on iha Re-
publican party and its policy of protection.
TO which he ascribed the labor riots all over
the country. Voorhees, said the Republican
party said that the great manufacturing
barons had TO be protected against foreign
competition in order to pay higher wages.
Had they done SO? Carnegie got protec-
ton OF 80 per cent ON iron and more than 20
per cent on steel, and instead of paying
workmen higher wages he notified them of
reduction OF from Y to 40 per cent. The
beneficiary of the tariff system responded
by the employment of an armed mob. Pink
erton'S meanest mereenaries and those of
them who were killed were killed by the
workmen in self-defense. His only regret
was that Carnegie himself had not been at
the head OF the squad instead OF skulking
in his Scottish castle.
Hale, in rel lying, criticized him for con-
yertlng such grave matter into partisan
POLITICS He defended the Republicans
from the responsibility of the conflict aud
assumed for the party and the policy of
protection the credit of building up such
great industrial establi Sbments as those at
Homestead aud Bethlehem, Pa.
Finally the resolutions for an investiga-
ton OF the Homestead troubles were re-
ferred to a committee

After referring the silver bill to the Coin

again voted down the conference report on
the diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill by decisive vote, the opposition being
based on the appropriation of S65, ,000 for
the payment of the share of the United
States in the expenses of the preliminary
survey of the intercontinental railway.
The remainder of the day was consumed
in the consideration of tho resolution di-
recting the Committee on Judiciary. already
authorized to investigate the PlnkertOn
system, to investigate the recent occur
rences at Homestead. The Committee on
Labor wanted the resolution referred to
them, and it was so done, but their VIC
tory was shortlived, as the Judiciary men
regained the ground and finally secured the
resolution. During the discussion Watson
of Georgia criticized the judiciary Com
mittee for having been derelict in duty for
not proceeding with the investigation long
ago. Oates denied that the committee had
failed in its duty.
The conference report on the Indian ap-
preparation bill was submitted and agreed TO.
The anti-option bill was referred back to
the Senate without amendment by the Sen
