DUMPING GROUND THEORY.

We don't hear so much of "the Dump
ing ground for the worlds silver" theory
now. Mexico has rather knocked the
bottom out of i. Within year the mar
velous prosperity Of Mexico has forced
itself on the attention of the people of
the United States. They see it building
mills and factories. They see the old
time peon prices for labor steadily ris-
ing. incidentally they have had i'm
pressed upon them that the Mexican
mints are open for unlimited coinage OF
silver, yet that there is no dumping of
silver of other nations except, perhaps,
as money comes in for investment in
Mexican industries and development of
Mexican resources and that is a form of
dumping which the goldbugs, them
selves declare to be desirable There is
only one thing that will bring silver or
gold to a country and that is the demand
of trade. If other nations owe us money
they must send it and if we owe them
money we must send it. Silver coins
circulate in Europe at a ratio of about
151a to 1 and they would hardly be sent
here to be recoined at 16 to 1. There
would no profit in that kind of business.

eating a thousand mems dinners, of
wearing a thousand mems clothes, and
of using a thousand mems space and
building material then the thousand

cents a day will be big wages, will un-

Therefore, American workmen are to
live on rice and rats, to keep up their
end against Cinnamon, and English
workmen must thereafter live on grass
and sawdust, to compete against their
rivals in the states.
Hadn't they better think things over
before that stage is reached? Perhaps
they won't have much to think with
after that-Clarion.

Charge That They Will Even Kill

Kansas City, Mo-, July 29.-J. A..

Jackson's Hole. he pronounced them
false and charges that irresponsible
correspondents are responsible for
them. 1.-THE truth of the matter is, :"
he said "that cattle barons with
ranges in Wyoming and Idaho are de-
termined to secure the Bannock reser-
vation for pasturage for their cattle.
With this object in view they have
Systematically and deliberately pro-
voked the Indians for the past three
years. If they can cause an uprising
they will strive to secure the Indians
removal to another district. Perhaps
some settlers have been killed, but
you will eventually learn that not one
murder was done by the Lemhi or
Bannock Indians. 1t is a notorious
fact among the people of Idaho and
Wyoming that cattle barOns in the
Teton Valley country have caused all
the trouble in that section. Their
robberies are not entirely confined to
stealing land and cattle from Indians.

Anecdotes of the Vanderbilts are
still in order. Mrs Alva is always

when her domestic affairs are mat
ter of conjecture. A story going the
rounds of her methods at the Marbl,
palace says it is known fact that for
years Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt has not
addressed a menial directly but has
employed certain persons to take from
her the royal commands. To talk to
a tradesman or to order anything out
of shop is too much for her nerves,
and this is why, probably, she has
never taken the trouble to visit the
Sloane carpet place, where Mr.. Sloane
delights to take orders, and to see that
his customers are we'll suited, even II
he has married Vanderbilt.
On one occasion, two summers ago,
she had list written and given to the

who were not. When a carriage drove

lodge, and il the person was correct

one Of the jeunesse doree thought he
would call on her, and he walked in
stead of driving to the gates. They
were partially open, and he saw his
fair hostess strolling along the path
inside. He evidently was not on the
list, but being unaware of the exist
ence of this document, he simply
strolled through the portals and
passed the sentry. Mrs. Vanderbilt
turned around and saw him. She
looked right above his head and called
Immediately for the lodgekeeper. The
trembling servitor appeared. Turn
ing to a companion, she said: "Tell
this man that he is discharged. He
had no right to allow that man with

The old party papers, probably by
instruction are making special efforts
to start business boom. OF course
there is great deal in imagination and
If these hypnotisers should succeed,
possibly the poor devils who are pinch
ed or starving will imagine that they
are enjoying prosperity.
Carnegie started the suppos ed boom
and many other followed suit, in raise
of wages ten per cent.
A very peculiar feature of this raise
in wages is the fact that it was ten
per cent in every instance-never nine
per cent or eleven per cent or even
five per cent or fifteen per cent, al
ways just an even ten per cent.
Even Pullman pretended to raise
wages ten per cent, but in that case it
seems to have been a lie out of the
whole cloth.
The Chicago Chronicle under the
caption "The Pullman Fraud" says:
Inquiry among the men who earn
the wages demonstrates that there
has been no raise At least, the
people who draw pay have not found
their checks bigger or their pay en-
velopes heavier"
And careful inquiry among busi-
nessmen reveals the fact that they
can see nothing of the business boom.
Correspondence from various sections
reveals the same sad conditions Of af-
fairs.
Here and there a shop or factory
has plenty of orders, and in some few
very few-cases, like the Allis works
in Milwaukee, and a few agricultural
machinery works in Racine men are
fully employed. But outside Of that
business is dull, men poorly paid and
many manufacturing establishments
working short time or absolutely idle.
This matter Of raising wages by
Carnegie looks like a put up iob." !"
The Carnegie crowd is not built that
way. Some time age government Off
cials directed that the Carnegie works
refund more than quarter million
dollars paid them on armOr plate that
was gross fraud, and Cleveland re-
mitted several hundred thousan dol
lars of that sum.
1t is possible he now demands value
received. He knew if Carnegie raised
wages voluntarily" others competing
with him would have to follow. Car
negie obeyed orders-he raised wages
ten per cent and then raised the rent
his wormen pay. So he did not lose
much.

Lake Hopatcong is still covered with an

removal from Bertrans Island to the
