DETROIT, August 2s.-The feature
OF to'day's session of the American
Bar Association was tho annual I'D.
dress this morning by Hon William
Taft OF Ohio, Judge OF the United
States Circuit Dourt OF Appeals.
Judge Taft referred to the fact that
within the past four years the Gov
ernors OF several States had officially
d~eclaredthat federal courtshad seized
a jurisdiction not rightly theirs and
has exercised it to the detriment ofthe
republic, and had urged their rcspec-
tive legislatures to petition Congress
for remedial Legislation to prevent the
usurpation- the principal charges
against the federal courts being the
undue protection OF corporations and
oppression of the power Of organized
labor. The increase OF corporations
and their freedom in some cases from
moral restraints resulted ut times i'm
the use OF money for corrupt purposes
and various other acts which Justly
gave rise to n popular distrust OF their
methods. In spite of these we'll
known methods, nothing was clearer
to Il calm, intelligent thinker than
that under the conditions of modern
society corporations are indispensable
both TO the material progress of this
country and to the maintenance Of
that which we have. He referred to
the relation Of federal courts to organ.
lied labor, and especially to tho action
in issuing an injunction in the Amer.
lean Railway Union strike, and
strongly criticised the attitude OF
Governor Altgeld in maintaining that
the conspiracy described in the Dcbs
case was not unlawful Said he: "a
public nuisance more complete than
that in which Dcbs ct at. were engag.
cd in fnrthcring cannot he imagined"

No Work There.

Reports which have gone out con.
corning the beginning OF work on the
Brunswick lode and the prospect OF
better times on the Comstock are Mt.
tracing outside miners to this place
in search OF employment. This is a
misfortune. says the Virginia Chroni-
Gle. There are more miners here now
than can be employed. In fact. there
is II very large number Of idle men
here, many of whom have lived here
for. years and have families 20 sup.
port. They are unable to get work
and have been waiting for u long time
for times to improve and increase
their opportunities. The working Of
the Brunswick lode is an enterprise
TINT in the nature Of things must be
conducted on an economical basis and
in all probability it will never be able
to absorb even all Of the idle miners
who are permanently located here un
less n great bonanza is discovered on
the lode.
At present outsiders have no show
to get work here mt all. and every
new rerivQl makes the situation more
pressing for these already here.
Then, again, outsiders only find
themselves stranded when they ar
rive, and the move icaves them
worse off than over. Idle miners from
other places should steer clear of tie

THE DUMp1NG.GRouND rALLAoy

The theory advanced by the gold
men that il the mints were open to
silver as they are to gold this country
would be made the dumping-ground
for the worlds silver is completely
exploded. II other nations brought
silver to our mints to be made into
coins those coins would have to be
used in the United States, rs they
would not be a legal tender in other
countries, and, il taken back when
coined, would be worth less than the
bullion from which they were minted.
as the coins would contain 10 per
cent copper, or alloy. The Mining
World says that within a year the mar
velous prosperity OF Mexico, where
free coinage exists, has proven the
fallacy OF the goldbug theory, and at
tracted the attention OF the business
men OF the United States. Mills and
factories are built up and operated,
and the puce OF labor is steadily adj
vancing. The Mexican minis are
open for unlimited coinage Of gold
and silver, yet there 10 NJ dumping Of
the silver OF other nations, except the
money that is taken there for invest
ment in Mexican industries and the
development OF Mexican resources,
and that is u kind OF dumping that
even the goldbugs will not say is I'M
desirable. Only the demands Of trade
bring gold or silver into n country. II
other nations owe us money they
must send it, and il We W other ma.
tons money We must send it. Silver
coin circulates in Europe at the ratio
OF 151a to l, and they would not be
likely to send il here to be recoined
ut the ratio OF 16 to l, rs there would
be no profit in the business.
Nine-tenths Of the people OF the
United States are struggling hard to
get silver. The professional man will
willingly exchange his services for it;
the merchant will gladly sell his
wares for it; the farmer and the manu-.
tacturer will dispose OF their products
for It, and the mechanic and tho Ia
borer will give their skill and labor
for silver. Everything that is for sale
q be purchased with silver, and yet
there are those so thoroughly imbued
with goldbug ideas that while they
struggle Int and early to get silver,
they fear tho country will be flooded

II sound money meant the high
est purchasing power OF the dollar
aud it can mean nothing else = it
means that the Shylack class and it's
organs are doing all they a to keep
down prices to their present proiitless
level. And that, in fact, is the end
and aim OF this whole goldbug cam
paign. The whole purpose OF the
money power-the element that
boards and handles all the gold iu the
worlds to mui.v I.rir money iusu
as valuable y. Sound"
money is the money that is so scarce
that it commands a constantly in
creasing quantity OF the products Of
the labor Of the people.
The agents and organs OF Shylock
tell us that the FREQ coinage OF silver
would give the people a deprecated
and dishonest dollar. Deprecated as
to what? Why, as'to It's purchasing
power. The claim is made that if the
dollar will purchase less of tho pro.
ducts of the peoples labor than ii
does now it would be Il dishonest"
dollar. In other words only an "hon.
est dollar and a sound currency can
have the effect OF depreciating the
prices OF commodities and cutting
down the profits OF the peoples labor
The theory is now boldly set forth
that 1913 cents a pound for cotton and
81 u bushel for wheat means IL dis,
honest dollar and a H~depreciated'
currency. The people must submit to
deprecated and dishonest prices for
their products in order to give the
money power an opportunity to double
the value OF the money it has invested
in bonds and other loans.
We do not think the people can de-
ceive themselves or be deceived in
this matter. What Shylock and his
agents are trying to do is to hold
prices ut their present level. Other
wise there is nc sense or logic in the
cry for Sound money. Gold prices
mean low prices, and gold, or the gold
parity, is the only 1sound" money
according to the goldbugs. Conse-
qucntly, the gold dollar of 1873 was
not u sound dollar. 1t wa so cheap
that u given quantity Of commodities
would purchase nearly three times
rs much OF il rs it n purchase OF
the present gold dollars. But the
gold dollar of to day, with its trebled
purchasing power, is held up be.
fore the people rs the only Sound
money.
Now. the people will have to make
up their minds to choose between the
free and independent coinage of sill
and the gold money that makes
low prices and hard times. If they
want low prices and hard times, ali
they have to do is to sit still and wait.
The agents Of Wall street and the
money power will see that they get a
continuation OF these blessings. Shy
lock is rs active rs a gray spider in a
fodder stack.
On the other hand. il the people
want sound prices and honest profits,
they will have to help along the free
coinage movement and make it sue
cessful, for il that fails they will have
no remedy whatever. They will have
to do rs the pauper population does
grin and bear it and wear old clothes.
