UNEMPLOYED LABOR.

The following paper on the above
subject was prepared and read by
Gabriel Schmuck of this city at a
recent meeting of the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle. BY
special request of the members of
the society it is given to the public
through the columns of the NEWS:
The labor question" has reached
a stage in the history of this conn
try and of other nations of the
earth where it demands the best eff
forts of the best minds, the deepest
researches in the field of economics,
the assistance and cooperation of
the capitalist and philanthropist, to
provide ways and means to alleviate
suffering, to better the condition OF
the working classes by Winding them
constant and remunerative employ
ment.
may not, l will not disturb the
harmony of this meeting by the
slightest allusion of party char
acter.
Conditions confronting us today
are not of recent origin. trust that
you will not adjudge me pessi-
mist when 1 speak of faults, griev-
Gus faults, committed by us as a
people. We are in state of transit
ton, a young nation full OF energy,
pluck and daring.
The building up of a city like
Chicago in one lifetime. a Column
~. oh
equal, if not superior, of any foreign
nation, the display of art, science
and industry, the products of soil,
of factory and machine shop, the
thousands of miles of railroad
tracks crossing and re-crOssing our
continent, the thousands of beauti-
full cities and villages scattered over
the continent between the Atlantic
aud Pacitic-such panorama pre-
scented to our eyes stands unparal-
leled in the history of the world!
With all the blessings vouchsafed
the people of this country by AL
mighty God, land rich in soil,
mineral treasures of incalculable
value, a climate not excelled by any
known land in this wide world, it's
inhabitants endowed by the Creator
with all the attributes to make life
happy--we stand dismayed at the
deplorable condition of thousands
of our race. 1t seems that the
masses, in spite of our common
boast that every American is a
sovereign citizen" must be led and
guided and even cared for.
All honor to the men who lead
and guide and care for them in d
conscientious, sincere and earnest
! manner.
Approaching our subject, | beg
your indulgence and ask your per.
mission to preface my remarks by
an extract from that Incompatible
address in which the immortal
Washington bade farewell to his
countryInen at the close of his pres.
idential service. He called upon
them to cherish public credit" to
"observe good faith and justice to-
ward all nations;" avoiding both "in.
veterate antipathies and passion
ate attachments toward any; to init.
igate and assuage the unquenchable
fire of party spirit, lest, instead OF
warming, it should consume" to alb
stain from "characterizing parties
by geographical position to pro-
mote institutions for the diffusion
of knowledge;" to respect and up
hold morality and religion, those
great pillars of human happiness
those firmest props of the duties OF
men and of citizens"

NOW TO THE SUBJECT.

1t appears to me that the general
stapnatiOn in business and indus
trial affairs in our country is attrib-
utable mainly to the utter disregard
of public, and let me also add, pri-
vate credit. A vitiated currency
was issued in monthly installments
by the government, under com.
pulsory law, requiring the United
States treasurer to purchase several
millions in silver bullion per month
and coin it into money, paying for
this bullion at the rate of say 81
cents per ounce, when it was worth
but IS cents in the markets of the
world, and silver having been de-
monetized by England, Germany
and some other European countries,
and Scents worth of silver stamped
one dollar with the government
stamp was passed among our peo-
Die for one hundred cents under the
inscription "In God We Trust"
While this law made millionaires
of a score of silver mine owners, 1t
filled the land with a deprecated
currency. The demands of a lot OF
hare-brained and self-constituted
financiers, insisting upon the pas
sage of a law for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, which de-
mand was taken up and endorsed
by the unthinking, caused foreign
creditors to throw their American
securities upon our markets and
take away their payin United States
gold. In a very short time the
United States treasury was depleted
of it's gold-even the 500 100000 gold
reserve for the redemption of gold
certificates was encroached upon in
order to save public credit
Investors in our own country be-
came timid and locked up their
wealth in safety deposit vaults.

FOR SPRING AND SUMMER.

WoRrn has stopped making empire
gowns.
TIE law has been laid down: Short
skirts. and only short skirts, are to be
worn in the street.
NEW skirts for the street do not touch
the ground, but house skirts are almost
ali made with short trains.
One of the new ideas is blacl, satin
bodice and Il skirt of some dark, rich
cloth. Indeed, black satin as waist
material is quite TO the fore.
WHITE will be very generally worn
during the coming summer. Pretty
simple dresses of white linen lawn,
with hem-stitchcd tucks and hens, will
be quite the thing for dainty young la
dies.
AMONG elegant novelties in spring i'm

GIVE Us THE TREES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE THINKS: was
delighted to see in your paper of April
an article advocating the planting of
trees in our city, and am glad that we
have Councilman who recognizes the
necessity for such step and is usipe
his influence to bring it about The
opinion OF medical men is that shade
would improve the health OF the place.
Think OF the pleasure of walking down
Jefferson street under shady trees in
stead Of in the hot sun. as We now do.
1t Is fact that during the Asiatic chol.
era in India some years ago the troops
who camped under trees escaped the
plague almost entirely, while those who
camped in the open country died by
scores. Trees not only purify the ear b
and air but protect man and beast from
tho injurious effects Of the fierce heat
OF the sun. No amount of money ex.
pended on buildings will do as much to
beautify our city as few hundred dol.
lars invested in shade trees, and trust
your valuable paper will continue 10

ODD FACTS ABOUT DIAMONDS.
People Have Seen Known to Swallow Dia-
monde IL Ordcr to Snyc Them.

Ieoptc lave l'cca known to Swallow Dia-
nonds Ii Order to Save Them.
Diamonds arc rather plentiful nova
days, said Richard Burlsctt, the veteran
jcwcler, TO st. Louis Globe Democrat
man, but, like really great men, there
are very few large ones. We all know
Of the Kohi-noor the whilom treasure
of the kahn of Persia, and again The
great orange diamond, now in posses
sion Of the German emperor; but the
largest diamonds are not always finest.
Sometimes large diamond f;sis to
sparkle properly, lacks radiance and
color Such stone upon being divided
will often make several very brilliant
and valuable small diamonds. whose
aggregate value would be more than
the great colorlcss original In the
early dawn of civilization diamonds
were the cause OF more crime than
even gold or silver. They have been
swallowed for safe-llecpiug frequently
causing death. Murder after murder
car bc traced to one OF. the other OF
these great diamonds as the primal
caue. Some dire state intr;gucs and
plots have diamond for the center or
nucleus
One Of the finest diamonds in the
world was found not long since i'll the
brazilian sands. 1t came i'll novel
form. a small quartz rock was found,
about the size and shape of an egg. "
ing in the sands along the bank of the
Amazon, in Brazil. This was carried
home by brazilian peasant, who was
attracted by its odd shape and light
weight. For some time it lay in his
homo, with number of other geolog-
zeal specimens, mere curiosity. Hap
pening one day in handling it to drop it
on a stone block it burst open and lay
in halves on the block. The hollow in
terror that gave the light weight to the
stone was filed with blood-red sand.
In this sand lay the diamond, Il spark
ling stone of the rarest quality. The
stone was later sold to diamond mcr-
chant and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy. 1t is safe to say that the next
egg-shaped stone found in that section
will not long remain unbrol,cn, and
now that the quality and value of q
diamond SO formed is well known the
next finder will realize fortune out Of
1t most certainly.
