SEIZURE OF DEBS' PAPEES
Attorney General OIney Instructs Special
Attorney waller Regarding Them.


Attorney Walker Regarding Them.
WAsHINGToN, July II. - Attorney
General Olney after reading the ac-
counts of the seizure of Debs' private
papers expressed his regret at this
action of the government officials and
at once sent fhe following telegram
to Special United States Attorney
Walker.
Edwin Walker, Chicago, Ill
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WAsHING-
TON, d. c., July 11.-Seizure of the
Debs' papers is not according to law
and should be publicly disavowed and
papers at once returned. If seizure
is not strictly and technically lawful,
papers should be returned. The
government in enforcing the law,
cannot afford to be itself lawless,
nor, even if they be within it's strict
right, should measures be resorted to
which are unusual and come danger
ously near invasion or personal rights.
The government is too strong and it's
cause too righteous to warrant or re-
quire any thing of that nature. Please
wire at once what has taken place
and what is done in pursuance of these
instructions.

HAPPY BABYHOOD.

Every mother wants her baby to thrive,
because healthy child is a happy child.
The question of how the baby shall be fed
is demanding the attention, as never before,
not only of the mothers in the land, but of
the entire medical profession also, because
it is now realized how much the health of a
child can be influenced by proper nutrition
during the years of babyhood. AS the re-
suit of the improper feeding of the infant,
the vitality of the child is impaired, and he
grows up weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being SO generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for SUBJ
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims are
made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist,
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
fetal food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding of infants commenced.
Mellin'S Food is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and it has done more to
make babies strong and healthy than any,
thing else that has ever been invented.
Mellin's1 Food possesses all the requisite
constituents necessary to give child
health, vigOr and vitality. Infants are ex-
ceedingly fond of it and thrive upon it when
nothing else can be retained upon the
stomach. If they have been weak, fretful
and troublesome they become happy,
healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy
cheeks, firm muscles and a strong consti-

being highly nutritious and easily digested,
is also perfectly adapted to the wants of in.

BANDS bill for the coinage of the
seigniorage gets the worst scoring we
have seen in the report of the minority
of the committee on currency, prepared
by Representative Stone of Pennsylvania.
Summing up the objections Mr.. Stone
says they "are briefly, that it is un-
reasonable and fraudulent. that it is
dealing with something that does not
exist, that it is asking of the Secretary
of the Treasury that he shall divert a
trust fund from the use to which it is
dedicated, that it is asking him to issue
SIS, 900, 600 of false certificates, $55, 900, 900
of practical lies upon the promise that he
will some time make them good; that it
is imperill1ng the financial stability of
this government, by taking out from
under it the slender prop on which it
now rests; that it is enlarging the paper
currency of this country without enlarg-
ing by an iota the security on which it
rests; that it is simply providing for the
issue of $55,0O0,000 of practically fat
money; that it is staining and prejudic-
ing the cause of silver; that it is an
obstacle in the way of CO. operation with
other nations; that it is, more than all
and worse than all, dishonest in SUBJ
stance and effect.n

The story comes from Washington
through the correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press that in the event of the
rejection of Wheeler FL. Pecknam for the
Supreme bench, the President will nomi-
nate Justice Cullen of Brooklyn, mem
Der of the Supreme court of
New York. This would be much
greater and far more significant affront
to Hill than the nomination of Horn
blower or Peckham, for Cullen is the
Justice who declared that Maynard's re-

from the Secretary of States office was a

this Torrens system. Of course it will
meet opposition. Every reform encoun-

established customs and methods of do

will not all be enthusiastic for it. as it's

thus cut down their revenue. The place

LOUISIANA PLANTERS.

The reports of the discussions,
by the Louisiana sugar cane cultl-
vators, on the serious perils, into
which the business has fallen by
reason of the change in the Ameri-
can tariff, indicates the folly OF
building up a permanent business
on the shifting sands of tariff leg
islation. One of the intelligent
politicians of Louisiana, told us,
some years ago, that the sugar
planters of that State had foollshly
persuaded themselves, that PRO
lection" was the permanent and
settled policy of the United
States. He believed, however,
that the people had no settled
policy, but that the very gradual
drift was toward free trade, as the
only safe principle of general trade.
1t is certainly a curious state OF
things when the prosperity of many
thousands of capitalists, laborers,
mechanics and farmers is abso-
lutely within the power of a few
gentlemen in Congress, who, In
many cases, cannot even take care
of themselves at home. 1t is, in
fact, an absolute despotism over
men, which, in matters of political
liberty. would be intolerable.
The Louisiana men are earnestly
crying for the preservation OF
their homes, and the means OF
living. Another strange phase OF
the situation is, that the Louisiana
men were, until now, all Demo-
Gratis, and knowingly voted for the
very men who have "knifed" them.
Here is another illustration of the
wise way in which communities
act. These men couldn't make up
their minds to cut loose from old
political ties, and so followed the
men who "knifed" them, and now
they are crying about it.

ANY proposition made by the
delegates of the American Union
party, which tends to influence the
action of the Government in the
matter of our tariff regulations
with countries, other than the
United States, should be very GER
iously considered. The delegates
should take no stand on the SUBJ
ject from which they may have to
retreat hereafter. ANY disturb
ance of our present tariff regula-
tons may involve serious conse-
quences. Conservatism in this
matter is simply wisdom. 1t might
be well, however, to pass a resolu-
ton, requesting the coming Legis-
lature to investigate the whole SUBJ
ject, and, if it is for. the interests OF
the Republic, to enact laws which
shall protect US against importa-
tions of goods from some countries,
to do so. The American Union
party is under the strongest obliga-
ton to act with conservatism in
this and all other matters.

CHEAP LABOR.

Mr.. Thomas Brassey, the Iatner
of the present Lord Brassey, was,
at one time, the largest railroad
contractor in the world, and had,
it is said, over $4,000 men on his
pay rolls. He said, "the cost of
labor is the same all over the
world" 1t was a rather startling
statement to make, but one who
will carefully reflect on it will see
its truth and force. Sergeant, who
employed 1900 hands in his factory
for making cutlery, in New Haven,
Conn.,, said the cost of labor
in that place was as cheap,
if not cheaper, than it was
in Germany. Carnegie, the great
ironmaster, says the same thing.
Several of his workmen in the
steel works at Homestead, Pa, re-
ceive each as much as $50 per day.
Intelligent farmers in the Southern
States often pay for white laborers
as much as $40 per month, when
negro laborers for the same purpose
can be obtained for $15 or $50.
A British naval constructor, on
the Clyde, said, twenty years ago,
that the cost of building vessel
then, with the labor of skilled, we'll
fed, American mechanics. at wages
of $3.50 per day, would be no
greater than if it was built with
the ordinary English wages of 81
per day.
Mr.. Brassey's opinion was sus-
tanned by that of others. He be-
lieved that the labor of ten East
Indians, at ten cents day, would
really produce no more than the
labor of one skillful European Ia
borer.
The difficulty with those who
consider the labor question, is,
that they do not estimate the value
of the brains involved in it. No
two workmen will dc the same job
alike, although the pay is the same.
"Piece work" proves this. The
cheaper an article of manufacture
is, the higher the price of the labor,
which produces it. This seems
paradoxical, but is, as rule, true.
1t is the brain power of the high
priced labor which does it.
If the question is asked, whether
or not, the sugar crop of these ISL
ands, can be produced, with high
priced American labor exclusively,
as cheaply as it is produced with
Asiatic labor, it may be said that,
under certain conditions, it could
be done. 1t is mainly question
of "brains." Those who will say
it cannot, are, probably, men, who
if put under cross examination,
would show that they knew very
little about the actual facts, un-
derlying the labor questions.
