attempt to do the choruses without rhyme But
dangers and failures will have to be risked IN the
hope that experiment Will. in the end, bring
success worthy Of English letters. For Whatever
the unrhymed lyric may be- the rhymed song Is
not Eurip1ean. To present taste II may De very

point that rhyme is a necessary concession to the

Some Cases Where the Manufacturer Has
Pretty Good Thing.
Experience in the sliding scale has
taught that a cheapening in price may be
the means of enhancing the profit of EN-
ployers and reducing the wages of laborers
mt one and the same time, unless proper
safeguards are embodied. AS an instance,
the discovery of the great steel ore mines
in the Mesaba and other ranges of noun
tains in the northwest has displayed u
very decided effect in reducing the price
of both steel and iron. This is due to the
fact that before these discoveries steel ore
was not found in plenty and cost heavily in
hauling and mining. These new mines
were easily operated and created an
abundance of ore in markets, introduced
new and improved methods of handling,
created competition in the hauling lines
and built new ones, and gave the ore
buyers a cheap material
This enabled the manufacturer to con
vert this cheaper ore into pig-iron at less
figure and sell to the steel or iron rolling
mills and yet retain his former margin, or
even greater margin, just as it may have
suited him as to giving or not giving to
his customer the benefit of the difference
in the cost of Orc The same rule is then
carried on and applied to the manufacturer
who purchases the pig-iron and transforms
1t into steel or iron, rs the case may be.
The sliding scale by reason of the cheapen-
ing of the article would Of necessity re-
duce wages to the minimum established.
And were there none established the
wage Garner would be reduced to the ex-
treme limit governed by the prosperity of
the employer.
After all. it is the getting together Of

REDUCTION OF MINERS WAGES.
Movement ia Pennsylvania Likely to Re
SILT in a National Strike.

PITTsRUEG, Nov. l5.-The operators in
the Clearfieid district have taken the init
ative in reducing the price of coal mining.
The Bell. Lewis Il Yates Mining company
has posted notice that after Nov. 16 the
rate in their mines would be reduced )
cents n ton to IS cents. About = 900 men
are affected, and there is talk of strike.
The Berwind- White Mining company in
the same district, employing $500 men,
will probably follow this example of re-
duction, and IA general lowering of the
scale rate in the district will result.
The operators in the Pittsburg district
have threatened to make reductions and
will now probably be forced TO this end in
order to compete with coal from the
Clearfield district. The reason given by
the Clearfcld operators for the cut is that
coal is being mined cheaper in this dis
trict. These reductions are almost Ger
tainly the first of Others that will result
in another national strike of coal miners
