FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.
sep 28-3m

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 16 of silver to of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
aaof the United States. 1t was an act
of Treason because done at the instance
of European syndicate and for bride
money, "giving aid and comfort to
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa
pers for the coming season to include

Aluminium and Glass.

N. Charles Margot of the physical
laboratory of the University of Geneva,
says L'Industrie, has made a CURIOUS
discovery. He has found that by rub
bling on glass with an aluminium point
we obtain clear metallic lines, which
cannot be removed by washing, no mat
ter how often repeated. Many applica-
tions can be suggested for aluminium in
this direction. 1t can be used instead of
the engrayer's tool in cutting designs
on glass. With the aluminium pencil
diamonds can be distinguished from i'm
itation, since it will make no mark OH a
diamond. 1t is possible that the new
discovery may make great difference
in the making of cut or engraved glass.

Brasses and sronzes of the Hindoos.


The brass and bronze trade is kept
alive by the religious customs of the
Hindoos, who are not allowed to use
wooden and earthenware vessels freely,
and brass and bronze are to them as i'm
portant as glass and china to the west
erners. Almost all Hindoo utensils are
Of brass, copper OF bronze, and it is the
custom to present the female portion of
Hindoo family with valuable bat
terie de cuisine, made either Of brass or
copper, and a still existing Hindoo GER
emory is that of carrying the utensils in
a procession at the wedding. The result
of this custom is that almost all the
platters, trays, bowls, nut crackers and
all brass and copper utensils are most
beautifully ornamented, and there are
lovely combinations of brass and copper
and silver and copper. All Hindoo wo-
men used to have lovely brass caskets
covered with concentrations called chel-
lams, manufactured in Malabar, in
which they kept their jewels, but these
are fast being replaced by the vulgap
English japanned dispatch box At Siv-
aganga a beautiful but seldom patron
lied brass trade exists, which makes
toys and most ifelike representations
Of animals lizards, frogs, etc.-Chica-

He Met His Match,

He was all that's brave and manly.
He had emulated Stanley and had trav-
ersed wilds where white man meier
had set his foot before. He just gloried
in battle, for he loved to hear the rat
tie of the bullets and the sounding Of
the lannon's deadly roar.
He would fight a hundred people. He
would climb the highest steeple, though
he knew by that rash act he was court
ing certain death. He would face rag
ing tiger, he would swim the turbid
Niger, and he'd walk up to a cannon S
mouth and never bate his breath.
There was nothing that could scare
him. He ventured in the harem Of the
widest, fercest pasha that Ger lived on
Turkeys coast. In a graveyard he had
wandered late at night and there had
pondered if it would be his fortune just
to see a real ghost.
He was brave beyond all question.
There had meier been a suggestion that
the stories Of his boldness were not
made up of the truth; but, alas, his
courage failed him when rotten molar
allied him, for he didn't have the nerve
to let dentist pull his tooth New
York World.

THE SEAS INVASION.
Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.

Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.
The fiat marshes of Pevensey have
gained half a mile since the days of Ed
ward II, when the sea almost washed
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened on the Romney flats,
where the ancient castle Of Lympne has
receded mile OF more. Such spots as
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows to the
lost ground Of sea bottom. But Oh the
rocky parts of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
intrenchments that look so resistless.
Under the waves lie tracts Of bogland
that once upon time must have stood
we'll in shore, and Dunluce bears wit
ness to the ravages that have taken place
within a few centuries, few ticks Of
the clock as biologists count time.
The sea, ever washing and tearing at
its foundations, one day broke down a
considerable part Of the castle, and sew
eral persons were killed by the catas
trophe This was in the days when
Dunluce was held by other tenants than
the BIRDS Then home and strong
hold, now but memento of past joy
and glory.
Another marked example Of the inse-
curity of rock defenses where the sea is
the invader occurs at FiIey, OH the
Yorkshire coast. Only 20 years ago
there was pathway running around the
ancient church of St. Hilda, which is
built on the solid rock Now this is SO
broken away on the seward side that
it is impossible. Another 20 years may
see the church undermined.

TWO GREAT STRIKES!

There are some noticeable things
about the present strike that have
failed to draw special attention to
them. The strike with which the pres
ent one is most usually compared is
that of 1877. That was far more 81
gantic than this Not only that, it was
in a different part of the country. Pitts
burg was the great centre of the strike
in 1877 while during the present trouble
Pitsburg has been quiet. Nor are their
causes in any respect alike. 1t should
be noted that the present outbreak
of labor troubles has followed the cen
ire of population.
The strike of 1877 grew out of a re-
duction of 10 per cent of the wages of
the employees of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad That was July t. In a few
days it spread to the Pennsylvania. On
July p the trouble came to climax in
Pittshurg, and by the 26th it had
reached Chicago.
The first trouble between strikers and
militia occurred in West Virginia, at
Martinsburg, and soon after Governor
Matthews of that state called on Presi-
dent Hayes for Federal troops. This
is believed to be the first instance
in the history of the country IN
which Federal troops had been ordered
to suppress violence and disorder grow
ing out of a strike.
Baltimore rivalled Pittsburg in its
lawlessness. and the soldiers composing
the engineer battalion were sent from
Willets Point to the former city. But
the eyes of the entire country were
chiefly drawn to Pittsburg where
anarchy for time triumphed. Some
eight hundred militia were cooped W
in the round house, from which place
they were forced to fly to Sharpsburg
about six miles away. and in the skirm-
ishing along the road eight militiamen
were killed.
The present strike is bad but does not
equal that of 1877; and the rioting has
been more promptly suppressed
Whether Cook county will have to
respond in damages the same as Al
legheney county did, remains TO be

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

The Washington Star has this to say
about President Cleveland's proclama-
ton:
The president officially represents the
American people. In this matter his
course undoubtedly has the approval
Of the American people whom he repre-
sents In every effort to restore order
and uphold the reign of law he will
have their earnest support. The pro-
clamation, with its implied promise of
prompt and effective measures to sup
press riotous demonstrations has I'M
doubtedly afforded a feeling of relief to
the country, as it gives some assurance
that the shameful and useless destruc-
ton of life and property will soon be
stopped.
This is a case in which the action has
been suited to the words. Not to have
acted promptly after issuing the pro-
clamation would have been to aggra-
waite the evil.
The Denver News Oem.) says con-
corning the presidents proclamation:
The presidents proclamation no more
carries with it authority to interfere
with public meetings, whether of stril-
ers of other workmen, than it does to
break up next Sunday mornings SER
vice at Dean Harris cathedral The
| fact that men are strikers does not de-
prive them of the rights of American
citizens, and one of those rights is to
! peaceably assemble in public meeting
and there discuss, not only public meas
ures, but whatever they may concei We
will be conducive to their own and
public welfare. They may not incite To
lawlessness, but they may, with what
! eIouuence and rhetoric they can, discuss
whether it is wise or not for themselves
or others to strike, and express their
appreciation or adherence of the con-
duct OF public officials from the presi-
dent down.
The proclamation clearly referred to
assembling whet~ rioters had been
preventing the excelsior Of the laws
and destroying property.
1t was right to temporize for a
time in the hope that armed collision
might be avoided, but the time passed
away when millions of dollars worth
of property was destroyed by incendi-
aries. and the troops themselves were
| assaulted as they were in Chicago
There is no longer reason or excuse
for leniency; riotous mobs must be
broken UP, by force if necessary, and
the leaders arrested and brought to
trial. Philadelphia Ledger Rep.)
The view will meet with general ap-
prevail as well as has that other that
matters had gone as far as could be
permitted when troops were ordered to
maintain the supremacy of the law,
President Cleveland has not pro
claimed martial law in Chicago. He
has issued no proclamation placing
Chicago under military rule, and in
these exciting times the public mind
should not be further disturbed with
any such false and groundless misrep-
presentations in newspaper headlines OF
the presidents action.-St. Louis Posi-
Dispatch Dem).
! There has been a popular nisappre-
hension as to the effect of the presi-
dents proclamation. When it was
first issued General Miles was reported
to have said that it practically estab-
lished martial law, and when General
Schofield saw the remark be said he
regretted that Miles should have made
it. as it was erroneous. The employ

A MOST DREADFUL DEED!

Among the awful things done by the
Democracy, according to the Republi-
can sheet in this city which, by its
own testimony. never tells lie, is this
dreadful deed:
"They have gone into every mans
back yard all over the Republic where
ever there has been a sheep to be
found and have inflicted fatal wound
upon the sheep"
If the author of that wild and woody
and CORY wisdom has the hardihood
after this to look a sheep in the face
or gaze on the spot where the fatal
wound was inflicted, he must have a
VOLTS eye and the cheek of a-Repub-
| lean.
We were not aware that people all
over the Republic kept sheep in their
lbackyards If such a practice prevails
in any of the cities of this Republic
lit would constitute a frightful nuisance
and sanitary officials, whether Demo
| Gratis or Republicans, would be only
doing their duty in abating it. Not
Iperhaps, by acting the butcher and
''inflicting a fatal wound" because
Strengthening in the backyard would be
I
Violating the law, in many parts of the
Republic. But where is the sheepman
who has found fatal wounds on the
sheep in his backyard, and where are
the Democrats who have done it? Il
this fatal wounding in backwards has
been going on "all over this Republic, y
there must be abundant instances of the
Ideally work. Trot out your sheepown-
ers who have had their sheep fatally
wounded and not by wolves or the
butchers, or show in the corpus deficit
in the shape of the murdered muttons!
We give the foregoing quotations as
sample sentence of the Tribune's ar
fragment of the Democrats for the
sins of the Republicans. Not that ever
a Republican would go all over the
Republic for party spite to kill sheer
in peoples backyards, but the Trib-
une's effort to belabor the Democracy
rebounds upon the head of Republican
| ism. All the disasters to the sheep in
dustry, of every kind and nature fol
thirty years and up to date which have
been due to legislation, are the results
Of Republican tariff laws that have
been changed repeatedly and always
for the worse and are in force up tc
the present moment.

Or should the arbitrator be allowed

Again, should the employees be com

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
communicated.

L
| Much is written and said about COM
pulsory arbitration.
The mayor of Detroit is reported as
delivering a Fourth of July grafton,
advocating an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution providing for
lit. To have an opinion on
the subject one must first have a
clear idea of what is meant by the
term. Is it intenden to create boards
| of arbitration to which all disputed
questions between employees and en-
ployers must be submitted?
Shall arbitrators have power to en-
force their awards?5
Is it proposed to take away the lib
erty of contract between the parties,
or essentially diminish it?
| Will some advocate who has master
ed the subject and worked up the de-
| tails of a practicable plan, answer
these and the following questions and
| give US the details Of his plan?
To most practical men it would
seem that any scheme of compulsory
arbitration that should be merely adj
visory, and enforceable only by strikes
and boycotts, would soon fall into I'm
nocuous desuetude." Among the ques-
lions suggested are these: What pow
ers should be given arbitrators? What
! questions would be submitted to
them? Should they arbitrate between
the single employer and employee, the
farmer and his hired man, the house
keeper and the maid of all work?
Should they require a girl Who dis
covers that she has gone into the en-
ployment of mistress whom she
ldeems tyranical cruel, exacting, I'M
reasonably jealous, to remain in her
| employ until she proves the fact on a
hearing?
| Again, if the housekeeper finds that
| she has employed waSteful siatte1n,
one whom she believes a liar, thief,
one to whom she dares not leave the
care of her property or the lives of her
| little ones for an hour, shall she be
compelled to retain her in her employ
until she proves these facts 10 the sat
iisfaction of the arbftrators?
How shall the arbitrators decide the
question of wages between them?
Shall it be done before or after employ
ment? Or shall arbitration be compul-
sorry only upon the employer of a large
number or a definite specified mini
mum number of men? If so, on what
principle would you so confine it? If
| it be so confined, of what questions
should the arbitrator have jurisdic-
ton? Would they have the power to
compel the employer who had made
large profits in good times to pay men
at a loss in bad times? And, if so,
how long a time?
In the case of corporation, if the
profits of good times had been closely
distributed in dividends in good
times. would corporations have the
power to compel the stockholders to re-
turn their dividends in order to enable
the company to run? In case they had
spent them or had sold their stock and
left the jurisdiction, how would you
Icollect it in time to pay the weekly
wages?
In case this method was abandoned
las impracticable and the arbitrators
were authorized to compel the com
Ipany to borrow money to pay wages
might it not be very difficult to find
