ARMING THE MEN.
A Crisis Approaching in Kansas

President Walters Takes a Speech
Urging the Men to Win the
Strike.
Special to THE MORNING GALL.

WEIR CITY, Kans.. July 23.-Tte Sab
bath passed quietly in this district. Nine
owners have decided not to accep: the pro-
lection of the deputy Sheriffs offered by
Sheriff Arnold, who. they say, recruited
them from the ranks of tho strikers. The
owners are arming' their own men.
President Walters of the Miners Associ-
alton has just got back from Missouri. He
addressed big mass-meeting of strikers.
praising them for the work they did at the
pit where the riot occurred. He regretted
that he was absent at the time, for he
would have been glad to have led the men
to conflict. He urged them to keep on 60
ing to the pits and talking to the men.
Remember" he said. II do not urge
violence. Let the women go frat. but let
men follow TO see that they are not in
suited by scabs and blacklegs. Do not be
afraid. The charge upon which you can
be arrested is that of trespass. and that
does not amount to anything.
'The only way to win this strike is to
win it-and you know what that means.
If We catch scabs out after dark and give
them q good thrashing what ran be done ?
They cannot call eut The troops for that" !"
These remarks by President Roberts
were loudly cheered. They have. however.
created an uneasy feeling IN other circles,
and mine.owners fear violence will in
crease from now on. 1t Is unders TODD that
hundreds of miners who were thrown out
of work in Colorado by the closing of the
mines have been engaged to come here.
KANSAS CITY, July Ex-Governor Lew

the coal strike. said it was unfortunate
that the necessity for the strike arose at
this time. Every laborer now ought to
seek to retain employment. Thousands Of
miners who were thrown out of employ
ment in Colorado would doubtless como to
the Kansas mines. and thus the strike be
broken and the mine-owners could put
wages at their own figures.

Balance of Trade and Not the Sher.
man Law Charged With
Present Disturbances.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

BUTTE, Mont, July pa large mass
meeting in tho interest Of silver was held
here last evening. leading citizens from
different parts of the State participating.
The meeting was addressed by Hon. w.
A. Clark, ex-senator Sanders. ex-Congress-
man Maginnis. Hon. Lee Mantle. recently
thusiasm was manifested. and a very
lengthy address, formulated by the Free
coinage Association in an afternoon ses-
sion, was unanimously adopted.
Its arguments are on line with those of
the address recently adopted by the
Colorado silver convention. 1t rehearses
the various arguments In favor Of silver
and dwells on the disastrous effects its
complete overthrow will have no the
Western States and Territories. directly
and indirectly.
The claim that the operations of the
Sherman act or the foreign fear Of free
coinage is responsible for the recent tre-
mendous outflow of gold is vigorously COM
batted. and the assertion made that it is
due solely and only to the fact that the
balance of trade has been enormously
against US. and, owing to this. the gold
would have gone just the same if there
had been no silver law in existence.
With regard to the cost OF producing
silver the address asserts fatty that every
ounce Of silver produced in the United
States costs more than 81 90 per ounce.
The Sherman law. it comedies. Is wrong,
In principle. because it degrades silver
into mere commodity to be buffeted
about by unprincipled spectators. At the
same time treasury notes issued under its
provisions have been OF inestimable bene-
fit by increasing the circulation at a critical
time and thus preventing disaster.
TO repeal this law unconditionally
would be to destroy silver forever, and
play directly into the hands of the adyo-
Gates of the single gold standard and
contracted currency. 1t would be the
cruelest blow ever struck at the debtor
class, tor it would enormously increase
the purchasing power of gold and cor
respondingly lower the value of all pro-
ducts, and of every other form of property.
The Sherman law was never favored by
the advocates Of free silver coinage. says
the address, but bad as it is. 1t is now all
that remains between the desire of the
gold standard men aud the cousummation
of their selfish ends. and must be retained
in the interest OF the common people until
something better is conceded in its stead.
