The song we never sung
The pine trees sigh in chorus;
The eyes III eyes must shun
Our hearts keep still before US.

Blooms in the soul forever,
And hands ne'er Joined in life
Death a no power to sever.

The Rose ON the battlefield.

The Rose on the BattIefield.
The broad oaks spread their banners of
bright green,
The heavens in beauty bend above the
scenes
Millions of daisies, with their lovely snow,
Mantle the clods made crimson long ago.
Only one rose-one living rose of fame,
Companionless, austere, without a name,
Blooms in that daisied desert of the dead
A lonely sentinel with breast of red,
To lead some woman, of her love denied,
Here. to the dark spot where her lover
died.

committee representing them has recently
been in conference with Mr.. william
Baker and he submitted a proposition to
lease the plant 10 the workmen, furnish
capital, purchase all products of the fac
tee SIS a week TO the skilled employees
and divide any profit proportionately
among the workman. This proposal was
wen received and there was much Joy
among the unemployed over the prospect
Of earning some money. There was one
drawback. however, and that was the
ganiZation insists that each union man
shall receive not lass than $50 per week
for his work. The committee sent a let

wrote TO the national union stat

blowers should begin work at the Baker
plant on the terms stated, they were TO be

should be blacklisted This decision was
a blow to the committee which yesterday

OPERATIONS OF THE MINTs.
Report of the Director for the Fiscal
Year 1898.

Washington, Nov 24.-The director OF
the mint has submitted his report to ne
Secretary of the Treasury, covering the
operations of the mints and assay offices
of the United States during the fiscal
year 1895, together with the statistics of
foreign countries relative to the produce
tion and coinage of gold and silver and
the monetary condition of each country.
The value Of the gold and silver estimated
to have been used IN the Industrial arts
during the calendar year 1894. was ap-
proxmately s2l,jil ,652. Of which $l0,6oS,60
was gold, and $l0,SS3,0iS was silver.
The estimated metallic stock in the
United States on July J., 1885, was gold
$685., ,229, ,S25; silver, S625, 5,S53,9i9; a total Of
81, ,262, ,0S4774.
The estimated product of gold and sill
yer in the United States during the call
endar year, 1884, was, gold, 19l0.Sl3 fine
ounces, Of the value of s39 100000; silver.
$500, 900 fine ounces, of the commercial
value of $3l ,422000, and of the coinage
value of S6I,000,O00. The estimated pro-
duction of the. world for the calendar
year, was, gold, s,737,7SS fine ounces, Of
the value of $50, 100; silver, 167, ,752. 565
fine ounces of the coinage value of $zl6,-
S92, 200; commercial value, $106, 522, 800.
Mr.. Preston gives estimate of the
approximate stock of money in the prin-
cipal countries of the world. He places
the stock Of gold at $4,Os6 10000; the stock
of full legal tender silver at s., ,439. 300, 600;
stock limited tender silver at $631, 200, 600
making a total silver stock in the world
of 5000, 10000; the uncovered notes are
placed at 81, 469, 500 900.
He reviews In his report the monetary
legislation and monetary system of the
United States.
Mr.. Preston states that the real demon
etization of silver took place in 1853, when
the weight of the divisional coins were re-
duced TO about per cent This was not
an accident or oversight. 1T was
expressly declared in the House of Rep
resentatives that the intention was ito
make gold the sole standard of value" in
large Transactions, and silver subservient
to It, for small ones"
The act of 1873 was only nominal and
conformed the law to the actual monetary
condition, so far as the metallic currency
of the United States was concerned, that
had existed for nearly a quarter of a
century.
He states that the currency laws Of the
United States since 1873 are not only in
consistent but contradictory, obstructive
Of each others operation, and mutually
destructive.
