The necessity for large
stock of holiday goods at this
time Is not as great as it
would have been if the sugar
magnateS in the United States
had not seen fit to bear the
market. $3.50 is a low price,
and the producers will find lit
tie pleasure in the quotation,
not as much we think, as they
would derive from an inspec-
ton of the lamps we received
by the Alameda.
The fashion for both piano
and banquet lamps has gone
back to the handsome black
wrought iron patterns and
assortment this year contains
some of the handsomest we
have ever seen. One of them
with a handsome onyx top,
is a marvel of beauty and
would be an ornament in the
home of anyone; it bears
the imprint of the artists
hand in every curve of the
metal. Banquet lamps of the
same material are less snowy
than the brighter metals, but
infinitely richer and have an
advantage in not being sus-
ceptible to the action of the
climate; they cannot tarnish.
A large assortment of small
bits in silver, chaste in design
and inexpensive in price,
them particularly suita-
bic as New Year presents. To
them all, would
require more advertising space
than we have at our command.
Suppose you come and look at
them.

NJ. Donaldson, formerly of Sioux City,
where he was manager of the Union

THE ST. PAUL ROAD.
A Strike May Follow the 10 Per
Cent CIIt

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 22.-According to
the statement of some of the trainmen
of the st. Paul road, trouble is certain
to follow the reduction of 10 per cent In
the wages of the men which has been
announced would take place. 1t is stated
that at the conference last week, the
men stated emphatically that they
would accept no reduction. 1t is said
that General Manager EarliBg will come
to Milwaukee again this week and that
another conference will be held. A
fireman on the st. Paul road
states that the men are prepar-
ing to make a vigorous resistance
against the proposed reduction.
He says they have appointed an inner
circle committee, which has charge of
the whole matter, and that if a reduc-
lion is made there will be a general
strike all along the ST. Paul lines. He
asserts that the men on other roads will
stand by the ST. Paul men, and in case
of a strike they will refuse TO handle
freight,

Last YEARS Record.

Chicago received by the granger roads
last week barely one sixth the quantity
of wheat it took in the same week of
1892. and though this special decrease is
largely due to the city's determined
boarding of its own existing wheat
stock, the effect upon the railroad traffic
is, of course, none the less serious. The
shrinkage i'll supplies at the large CEN
ters of distribution suggests that the
supply on farm will soon be imperatively
needed. The full awkwardness of the
monetary breakdown is pretty certain
to be felt. Much of the recently i'm
ported gold has doubtless already gone
West to supply the needs which the
New York banks have usually met, and
to that extent the problem may find
solution. At present, however, freight
traffic in the wheat region continues in
a state of almost complete paralysis. 1t
is meantime noticeable and encouraging
that the traffic in both corn and smaller
grains holds up in ample volume. But
for this fact the Burlington directors
might very possibly last week have
acted otherwise Oh their dividend. But
since it has proved possible to move the
corn in quantity to market. it may be
counted on that some means will be
found to move the wheat.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Aug. 22.-Fitteen
hundred employed workmen this morn
ing made a demonstration, and serious
trouble was stopped only by the prompt
action of the police, and then only
after the mob had pIlfered from the
street green groceries, etc. At o'clock
motley assemblage, comprising
mainly day laborers who have thus far
found employment working upon the
streets and digging cellars and similar
work, gathered in Court House park
and called for Mayor Koch, and COM
mittee of four was selected to talk with
him. August Reicert acted as spokes-
man. Addressing the mayor, he said:
1--WE want you to look after the street
contractors" Then he branched into d
TRADE against the manner in which the
contractors treated the men. 1--WE are
not oxen." he said, land if we work we
want to be paid"
The mayor advised the men to dis
purse. saying the city contract work
would he all right III two weeks, as
soon as the city could get money, the
city's money now being tied up in
The men then started a parade down
the street, attempting to break into
stores, and taking fruit and vegetables
from stands on the street, and eating
them. The police finally dispersed
them with severe clubbing.
Chief of Police Jansen. after the
mob had dispersed, was seen and said:
''The mob formed suddenly and took us
by surprise. We had to call in our
men from outside beats. Hereafter
we Will be ready for them. Yes, think
l will be able to handle the mob. l do
not anticipate any very serious trouble"
Col. Auer. in command of the Fourth
regiment Wisconsin National guard,
said the militia will be called out if the
men become violent. I'VE will protect
property at any cost. This action of the
men is a sad affair" Contractors are
being besieged by idle men in search of
employment.
Wherever the least work in building
is being done the unemployed assemble
IN groups and apply for work. On River
street, near Martin street, large coal
she'd is being erected. The contractor
has been so besieged by men who want
work that the following sign has been
hung up: No help wanted"

silver monometallism, and no one was
arguing to destroy the silver metal more
utterly than were the advocates OF the
Bland amendment. Free coinage would
damage our trade and commerce with
out compensation: and fall in the
value of money stock would
mean fall in the value of the money
in which the workingman was paid.
Should free coinage be decided upon he
would bid farewell to any hope for
tariff reform.
Mr.. Hepburn Republican, Iowa.
ridiculed the idea that partisanship
could be eliminated from the debate,
and satiriZed Mr.. Bynnm for asking
that can't and subterfuge should be
eliminated from this discussion. He op-
posed the repeal of the Sherman law.
and he protested against the shifting
process of legerdemain by whicht he
Democrats attempted to replace the re-
sponsibilitv for the repeal on Repub-
llcan shoulders.
Mir. Jones Democrat, Virginia) op-
posed the unconditional repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act,
and favored free coinage. The existing
condition OF affairs be attributed not 10
the Sherman act, but to that iniQuity of
iniquites, the Mckinley act. The house
then at o'clock took a recess to s
o'clock, but only after an agreement
that during the remainder of the week
the daily hour of meeting shall be 10
o'clock.
After the recess Mr.. Ellis (Dem.,
KY.,) spoke III favor of free coinage,
and severely criticised the position
taken by his colleague (Mr. McCreary)
upon the question. The Sherman law
poor though it was, he said, was the
only obstacle which stood between
bimetallism and monometalllsm.
Mr.. McKaig Oem.. Md advocated
the free coinage of silver. No nation.
even as great a nation as this, could be
Independent of the world.
Mr. Cooper Dem., Tex admitted
that the country was very i'll patient,
but he believed that the medicines
sought to be administered by the silver
bill, instead of curing the patient,
would assist the disease.
Mr.. Deforest (Dem., Conn.) favored
immediate repeal of the silver-purchas-
ing clause Of the Sherman act, the ne
cessity of which is so clearly written on
the face of public distress.
Mr.. Arnold (DeT., Mo- denied that
there was any condition IN the country
to justify the demohetization of silver
which would follow the repeal of the
Sherman act. The farmers and work.
men of this country had no reason to
envy the condition of the farmers and
workmen of the nations which had dis
carded silver. -
Mr.. Williams Dem. Miss.l, though
deprecating the necessity of having to
speak to empty benches, spoke in favor
OF the free coinage of silver.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Williams
speech the house at II 40 adjourned.

would not only approve, but would
raptnrously applaud legislation that
would establish and maintain the BIZ

He believed, however, that in the pres
ent state of the market IL was hey 0nd
the power of any finite mind to fix the
ratio of silver to gold, because the mar
ket value of silver was in state of
chronic fiuctuation. The present ratio
should be adhered to. the Sherman law
repealed, and the use Of silver coin en-
couraged by ludicious laws, and then
the influence of events upon the relative
values of the two metals might be
calmly watched, with the hope that by
the use OF effective means the country
might, at no distant day. reach the point
where both gold and silver could be
coined and used without discrimination
between them.
The bill having been laid aside, and
the case of the Montana senatorship
laid before the senate, motion to lay that
matter aside informally. and to proceed
to the cOnsi leration of the bill to iu-
crease the national bank circulation,
was made by Mr. Mcpherson. This
motion provoked much colloquY, IN the

CURRENCY DEMAND.
Very Little Silver Can BE Forced
Into Circulation

Into Circulation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The assistant
treasurer of the New York subtreasurv
today paid out over the counter 81, 1872
500, of which $4,000 was in treasury
notes and the rest in gold. Transfers of
silver to New Orleans amounted to
S35. 600. to be used in moving the cotton
crops. The significant feature of the
subtreasury operations was the fact that
nearly as much silver was paid in today
as was paid out. which seems to show
that. in spite of great demand for cur
rency, silver cannot be forced into
actual circulation as long as
small bills are obtainable, even
at a premium. The subtreasury
counted today about S1,000,0O0 gold for
the importers. One consignment of
S450,0OO in gold was sold to Baltimore at
III per cent. but at the close gold to
arrive was offered at 81 of l pei cent.

banks to discriminate in writing I'D
their accounts and making payments
thereon between deposits of cash and

During the present scarcity of cur

Mr.. Flanagan. president of the bank,

own accord, without consultation with

action.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The steamship
Ems, which arrived last night. brought

100000 from Bremerbaven, and 2,l7o'-
COO marks from the Deutsche Bank OF
Berlin.
Money on call remains 4@5. There
is no time money to be had at the legal
rate. Six per cent and IL per cent
commission per month has been paid on
pledge OF good, dividend-paying stocks
as collateral. Mercantile paper is mere
ly nominal. The quotations of cur
rency premium was 113@2 per cent.
Spot gold declined to rs per cent, whlie
the metal to arrive commands a merely
nominal premium. The subtreasury
paid its debt balance of 7.46S at the
clearing house as follows: $4,000 IN
gold coin. $1,000 i'll treasury notes, and
81, ,43S in United States notes. Inc loan
committee of the clearing house at Its
early session neither issued nor can
ceIed any certificates.
The market for sterling exchange was
firmer, with nominal rates uD to S4.S419
and s4S915. Good judges say the
strength of the market is more ap-
parent than real, and with the dlsap-
pearance of the premium on gold and
