LAW OF COMPENsArroN

The Atlanta Constitution, sill
verphile, takes the New Orleans
Picayune to task for what it calls
its inconsistency in saying that free
coinage would raise the price of sill
yer to $1.29 an ounce, and that West
ern farmers favor it because it would
enable them to pay their debt in a
deprecated currency The Consti-
tuition advises its contemporary to
climb up on its desk where it's
view would be sufficiently widened
to permit it to perceive the absurd
ity of its two conflicting statements.
The myopia is the Canstitution's.

AN IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT,

In the debate in the house and
senate upon Senator Culkin's bill to
reduce railroad freights, several
speakers said that they had been i'm
portuned by railway employees to
vote against the bill because it
would reduce their wages if carried
into effect. Without stopping to con-
slider the merits of this protest, it
is worth while to refer to it as indi-
eating that irreconcilable antagon-
ism of interest between the wage
earning classes and the farming
class which will effectively prevent
that political union for which Mr.
strenuously work and enticingly
plead. There may be temporary
combinations under the stress of ex-
ceptional circumstances, such as
was made in ga, finding it's source in
the railroad strikes of '93, but the
natural antagonism growing out of
the perfectly proper desire of the
farmers to get the highest possible
price for the products and the lowest
possible rates for the transportation.
of them, and that of the wage-earn-
ers to get the farmers produce at the
lowest possible price, carried at
rates which will permit the main
tenance of fair wages, are contend
ing forces that will prevent any per-
manent political or other union of
these portions of our industrial So
ciety. This is always inevitable in
any effort made to build up a politi-
cal party based upon purely selfish
interests

The Hon. James A Mckenzie. min
lister to Peru, reports that the govern
ment had determined to negotiate a
loan of 100000 soles at 10 per cent. The
sol in 1890 was worth eighty-fve cents
in terms of the American gold dollar
and some years earlier was worth nine
ty-two cents. Now it is rated by the di-
rector of the mint at forty-five and a
half cents. Peru enjoys the benefit
of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1, or there
about, and has silver mines of it's
own. 1t will be observed, however,
that the loan is negotiated at the
rather stiff rate of 10 per cent. Those
who think that the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the divine ratio"
of Is to i, is all that is necessary to
make money abundant and cheap,
might learn a lesson from this, es-
pecially as they have been very vo-
ciferous in denouncing a loan recently
negotiated here at three and t4.ree-
quarters as a base concession to the
money power. 1t appears that coun-
tries with the silver standard are
rather more in the grasp Of the money
power than those with the gold stand

Belief That More Spurious

REDFIELD, S. D., March 26.-The
register Of deeds here has received
a letter from Attorney Rufus T.
Peck, of Cortland, n. Y, asking if
school bonds of any individual
school district are required to be
registered, and, if so, whether the
$4,000 bonds of the Capitola school
township of Sphinx county were
registered in 1894 or 1895. The bonds
are dated Jan. 5, 1895, and are for
$500 each, and nine in number The
attorney asks whether there is a
Capitola school township in this
county. The inquiry is made here
after hearing from parties at Do
land, this county, that no such
school township exists. The attor-
ney claims that the bonds were is
sued to refund one-half of the or
iginal $4,000 bonds issued some years
ago by the same township. There
is no record of any bonds having
been issued by Capitola township
FICTITIOUS names are signed by the
clerk and chairman of the school
board, and the bonds are certified to
by an unknown party under the
name Of Inman. The officials here
know nothing of the alleged bonds
or the individuals named on them.

an unpleasant thing to think off, he
said, "if in this rich and noted city
money enough cannot be raised to
start such a sensible and thoroughly
practical work. Why, / should have
thought that any one of twenty men I
know of in st. Paul would quickly
raise the money needed to start the

potatoes are brought to Minnesota and
other states from the country west of
here, and that Minnesota potatoes are,
as L know, shipped to st. Louis and
other points by the hundreds of car
loads, it would seem that it is flying
in the face of Providence to allow all
this waste land to lie idle. It's a mis-
take to ridicule the so-called Pingree
plan. It may seem a small matter to
some people, but it is essentially practi-
cal to have idle men cultivate idle
ground. This fact will never be prop
erly realized by your people until they
see the products of two or three hun

all that was claimed for it in Detroit"

Cut VIII BE Refused.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 26.---The
conference on the proposition of the
Ohio Valley manufacturers to pay
only $3.50 per ton for pudding and a
general reduction of Is per cent in the
finishing departments, will be held on
Saturday. President Garland, of the
Amalgamated association, declines to
express an opinion as to the result of
the meeting. The lodges of the associa-
ton have voted against the acceptance
of the sweeping reductions, and it is
probable that the cut will be refused.
Unless the manufacturers withdraw

clared in the Shenango and Mahoning
Valleys, and fully 10000 men will be
idle.

Florence Iron River Mining Conn
pnny In Trouble


MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 90
Judge Ludwig today appointed S. IT.
Beattie receiver for the Florence Iron
River Mining company The company.
it is said, has been doing very little
business for some time although at
one time it was one of the biggest pro-
ducers on the Menominee range, owing
to the falling off in the demand for nom
Bessemer ores. The Florence Iron
River company is the result of the COM
blnatlon OF two mines-the Iron river
mine and the Florence mine. The
former was owned by Youngstown. o.,
people, and the fee of the latter by H
d. Fisher, of Florence, and the Van
Dykes, of this city. The two mines
We're purchased by Ferdinand Schles-
niger, and for a time We're heavy ship
pers of ore. When Mr.. SchIesinger 8
affairs first became entangled, the con-
solidated mine was turned over to the
New York banking firm of Ladenburg,
Thalman & Co.
The first shipments of ore from the
Florence mine We're made in 1880. and
although they were suspended in 1884
and 1885, and amounted to less than
10000 tons in the years 1898 and 1894,
they have amounted altogether, up to
TINS year, to 1,069, 476 tons. The largest
shipment was in 1889, when 21357O tons
were shipped. The Iron river mine has
practically not shipped any ore since
1891, but altogether shipped 9q,587 tons.
The total of these two properties is
therefore larger than any property on
the range, with the exception of the
sheriff's office today for $5,O34.66 against
the Florence-Iron River company, in
favor of Joseph Hyman, of Chicago.
