WEANERS STRIKE.

Providence, r. l., May 5.-The condi,
tons are quiet in the strike district at
Olneyville. In a few days, however every
mill will be stopped and not machine
will be running. The spinners, twisters
and spoilers of the Riverside mills have
joined the strikers.
Every Saturday the employees have a
half holiday and those who came out will
not return tomorrow. Labor leaders are
now making preparations for the national
convention of the textile workers of
America in the textile hall of Olney to-
morrow, which will probably last three
days. 1t is possible that the Olneyville
strike may be made the business of the
national association and receive pecuniary
aid from it.

There is danger in the very agitation Of
free silver. Suppose the creditor classes
become alarmed and conclude that they
will lose half on their investments if
free coinage at a ratio of 16 to l is
adopted; they would very naturally to
protect themselves foreclose their mort
cages before the law could go into effect.
The foreclosure of all the mortgages in
this country at present would at once
bankrupt the debtor class and that class
could not make any reasonable objection
to this action of their creditors if they
attempt to debase the coin so that they
can pay at 80 cents on the dollar.

Ohio. There are some who regard the
situation less encouraging than when the
