The Springfield Republican contains
the report Of a meeting OF the Fall River
weavers' union. held few nights ago, to
decide whether they should strike or not.
The discussion has been going on for
some weeks in about the usual manner.
the young hot heads favoring a strike
and the older and more conservative
members of the union opposing it. At
the meeting which was to make a final
decision the secretary of the union pre-
scented figures showing that since 1898
Fall River operatives had lost $5.000.0 900
in one form or another, and he asked if.
in the face OF these great losses. the
weavers thought they ought to embark
in another costly and perhaps unsuccess-
full strike. His speech, and especially his
figures, turned the scale and the proposed
strike was voted down by decided ma
jority. 1t was not stated that the entire
amount lost by the weavers since 1893
was due to strikes. No doubt a consid-
cradle part of it was due to reduction of
wages and loss of employment caused by
the Cleveland panic. but strikes had con-
tributed their share. The main point was
the enormous loss already incurred by
this class of operatives alone during the
last two years.
If workingmen could be made to real
ize the cost of strikes they would be very
slow to engage in them. They are apt
to ignore the failures and the cost of
strikes and to greatly magnify their
benefits. The recent miners strike in
northern Michigan, at Isnpeming and vi
cinity. which ended a few days ago by
the miners returning to work on the
terms offered by the mining companies
at the beginning of the trouble, lasted
sixty-five days The number of men en-
gagged in IL or kept idle by il is estimated
at 5000. These were earning an average
OF SIPS a day. and their loss in wages
foots up sS26,250. This means great

forts TO miners families. But the mine
| operators also lost heavily because their
fixed charges, as cost of plants, interest,
etc.. were not diminished during the
strike. Then. tradesmen in the mining
region suffered by the entire suspension
of business during the strike. and the
people have to pay the expenses Of the
militia sent to guard the men employed
on the steam shovels. 1t is probable
that $4,000 would be conservative es-
innate of the total of these items, and
yet at last the strikers resumed work on
| the terms offered at the beginning.
1t is a maxim of international law that
war is the last argument of kings. A
strike is commercial war. and should be
the last resort of workingmen. In a ma

The spirit of modern enterprise cannot
be said to be dead in Europe when, the
little city of Avignon. through its town
Council, agrees to spend 100000 in restor-
ing the ancient palace once occupied by the
Popes on condition that Pope Leo XIII
will make that his official residence. The
condition does not detract from the liber-
atty of the proposition, and under the cir
cumstances the Pope could well afford to
accept it. Avignon is one of the most
ancient cities of Europe. having been a
place of some Importance in the times of
Roman supremacy. and. besides the palace
of the Popes, now somewhat decayed, but
still impressive, it contains one of the
most ancient cathedrals of Europe. sew
eral attractive churches and other objects
of architectural and artistic interest. If it
should become once more the ecclesiastical
headquarters of the Catholic Church and
the residence OF the Popes, as It was from
the middle of the fourteenth to near the
beginning of the eighteenth century, it
would regain much of it's. ancient i'm
portance in the religious world and Of its
attractiveness for travellers.

Mr.. Taggart's local organ says. "As
Mayor Mr.. Trusler would be the city
government" This is imputed to Mr..
Trusler as a fault and is intended to
prejudice him In popular estimation. In
reality it Is TO his credit and an argument
in favor Of his election. The central idea
Of the city charter is to make the Mayor
the responsible head of the city govern
ment. The members of all the executive
boards are appointed by and responsible
to him, and he alone is directly RESPONSE
bic to the people This concentration Of
executive power and responsibility Is one
of the best features of the charter. OF
course. the Mayor cannot interfere with
the functions of the Council, the Police
Court or the city clerk, but in everything
pertaining to city finances and to the ex-
ecutive boards which concern the people
SO nearly and touch them at so many
different points he is the responsible
head. Therefore, to say that las Mayor
Mr.. Trusler would be the city govern
ment" is equivalent to saying that. he
would carry out the central idea of the
charter and exercise the power and as
sumo the responsibility which it intends
the Mayor should. To impute this as a
fault in him is to imply that the spirit of
the charter ought to be evaded and that
Mr.. Taggart would do it.

Sort Of Dollar THAT 1. Wanted.

Louisville Courfer-5Ournal.
''Why. why" roar the free-siiver freaks.
''why did you strike down the silver do.-
lar in 1873 when 1t was worth premium
Of cents over goldg'
Why? Aye vi why?
Well, In the first place the silver dollar
was not struck down in 1873. There was
no silver dollar in 1873. There never will
be a silver dollar IN circulation when IT IS
worth centss more than gold dollar.
No people would be such fools as to use
as money a dollar which is worth cents
more as bullion.
In the second place. II there had been
a silver dollar in 1873 which was worth
8 cents more than gold, tt would have
feen, according to the logic of the latter
day silverites. a good thing to strike 1t
down; for If there had been any creditors
shrewd enough TO stipulate in their con-
tracts that their debts should be paid in
silver dollars the debtors would have had
to pay in dollars worth 103 cents instead
Of in dollars worth only leo cents.
The people of this country do not want
a dollar that is worth one thing to-day
and another thing tomorrow; they do not
want a dollar worth 103 cents any more
than they want one worth 81 cents. The
l00-cent dollar is the only honest dollar,
and il is the only dollar that creditors are
going to be allowed to demand or that
debtors are going to be allowed to pay.

The recent so-called advances in
wages which have been paraded in
Democratic newspapers as evidence of
the successful working Of the present tar
if law are being made to do similar
duty in Canada, where there is also a
tariff agitation. These so-called adj
vances are only a partial restoration of
wages that were reduced during the
Cleveland panic of 1s93-94, and are there
fore in no sense real advances. The
American Economist has shown by. sta
tistics collected from five hundred differ
ent establishments representing eighty
five different industries that the average
Of wages paid in 1892 was per cent.
higher than in 1890; in 1893 it was II per
cent. less than IN 1890. and q per cent.
less than in 1892; while for the 1895 period,
during which it is claimed the 'ad-
vances"- have been made, the average
than in 1890, and IS per cent. less than in
1892, and only per cent. greater than in
1894. From this investigation" says the
Economist. lit is apparent that the in
dustrial condition of the United States
has retrogressed more than half dec
ade. Six years have elapsed since the
taking of the census of 1889, and we find
that ; per cent less labor is employed
now than then. also that labor earned
this year at the rate of IA per cent. less
wages than in 1885,"
The Montreal Gazette is not deceived
by the claim that this partial restora-
ton of reduced wages in the United
States is an advance on the rate which
prevailed under a protective tariff. II
cites some instances showing that the
recent advance still leaves wages consid-
erably below those of 1892 and that the
net result of tariff reform has scen de-
cidedly toward a lower scale of wages.
Arguing from these facts the Gazette
says: Absolute free trade gives all the
advantage in manufacturing competition
to the country where labor is cheapest,
and labor is cheapest where the standard
of comfort Of the laboring mans family
is lowest" Again. addressing Canadian
workmen, II warns them that free trade
means that the remuneration of opera
tives in manufacturing industries must
be scaled down to the level of the lowest
paid competing country, plus the cost OF
carriage from place to place of produc-
ton to that of consumption"
The conditions of the tariff question are
different In different countries. but in its
statement of general principles the Mon
treal Gazette is correct. Every approach
to free trade in this country has been
followed by lowering of wages, and the
lost ground has never been fully recov-
| cred without return to protection

contemplate. So they took Mr.. Cox. who.
as deputy prosecutor. failed signally in
his duty to the public. The Democratic
bosses wan. a man as city judge who
will run the police court as did Buskirk
under the Sullivan regime. They dared
not make Buskirk candidate again. but
they knew that in Mr.. Cox they have a
man who will not interfere with the pur-
pose to make the town wide open for all
sorts OF law-breakers. There is not a
who is not enthusiastic in his support OF
Mr.. Cox for municipal judge. Should he
be elected the gamblers would flock back
into the city because they know that
when all other laws are broken those
