LEGATION, which fully sets forth the
miners side Of the case in the present
difficulty with the mine owners.
The statement recites that on Janu-
airy l, this year, there were forty nine
producing mines in that camp, that Of
these thirty-eight were working eight
hour sshifts and nine working nine
hour shifts and the remainder were
working for g for ten hours work.
The bylaws Of the union provide tina t
the regulation for the camp shall not
be interfered with except ninety days
notice is given the mine owners. The
miners gave nutiOe on or about Janu-
airy 20 that they would demand g q
day for eight hours work.
On February l, J. J. Hagerman
posted notices on all his property that
from that date on nine hours work
would be required for 50 a day, or
$2.75 q day for eight hours. The mat.
ter was placed before the union and
unanimously rejected. An arbitration
committee was appointed, but the mine
owners refused to meet the miners and
the lockout was ordered. The miners
had repeatedly tried to arbitrate the
differences with the mine owners, but
thus far had failed.
The report goes on TO state that not

Of the union are Of the Catholic faith,
and not to exceed 10 per cent. are for

A Voice From Epel.pd,

An important speech, touching upon wheat,
silver, gold and American mining, railroads
and land mortgages, was delivered at Edin.
burgh last week by the IT. Hon. Henry Chap
lin, conservative, president Of the board Of
| agriculture In Lord Salisbury's last govern.
ment. The speech was an address 10 .
crowded conference Of the Scottish chambers
Of husbandry, and had for It's subject "Bimet
allism In relation to agricultural depression"
The speaker declared that agricultural Dc
preston was chiefly due to the steady and
heavy fall In the prices Of produce, which he
claimed WAS due to the monetary changes Of
1873 and could only be stopped by rcvcrting
TO the previous monetary system.
Nobody could foresce where the present
fall In prices would end. According 10 the
latest table, the fall from 1873 10 1893 Of 20
per cent In wheat amply illustrates this. Tho
British commissioners. he added, studied tho
prices OF wheat In America In 1879, and be-
| lieved that II could never be exported cheaper
than 40 shilllngs per quarter. But superior
Indian wheat was sold last week at Hull for
~ shilllngs pence per quarter.
Touching upon the farmers Of America he
| said that they, especially. were being ruined
and becoming bankrupt faster even than the
British farmers.
Others contend that over production 10 TO
sponsiblc for the fall In prices, but he claimed
that statistics show that the production Of
wheat has decreased, although the prices have
fallen. Therefore, from the point Of view Of
the speaker, It was farcical and ridiculous TO
attribute tho fall In prices to that cause The
real cause, lie said, was tho dcmQnsiisAsiou u
silver In 1873 and the subsequent divergence
OF the relative values OF metals, xhich en-.
abicd the silver.usiug countries ike India "a

Chaplin nlso said:
