BONDS ALSO OBJECTED II

WASHINGTON. March THE follow
ing has been issued by the American
Bimetallic League:
The money question is now indis-
putably the dominant issue in the
United States and will remain so until
settled, and settled rightly. Other
questions, however important, must
wait for this. which, to a greater or
less extent. involves all others. The is
sue is between the gold standard, gold
bonds and bank currency on the one
side, and the bimetallic standard, no
bonds and government currency on the
other.
First--On this issue we declare our
selves to be unalterab.y opposed to the
single naad standard and demand the
iNimediate>return to the constitutions
standard of gold and silver by the
restoration by this government, indie.
pendently of any foreign POWER of the
unrestrained coinage of
both Silver and Gold
into standard money at the ratio of l6
to and upon terms of exact equality;
the SILVER coin to be full legal tender,
equal with gold, with all debts and
Dues, public and private.
Second-We hold that the power to
control and regulate paper currency
is inseparable from the power to coin
money; and hence that all currency in.
tended to circulate as money should be
issued and it's volume controlled by the
general government only, and should
be legal tender.
Third-We are unalterably opposed
to the issue BY the United States of in.
terest beaKing bonds in time of peace
and demand the payment Of all coin
obligations Of the United States as pro-
vided by existing laws, in either gold or
silver coin, at the option of the govern
ment and not at the option of the cred
itor- On this issue we appeal from the
dictation of the money power to the in.
telligence of the American people.

THE PlTtSeuRG STRIKE.

Conference Of Miners and Operators Oh

PITTsBuRG, March 7.-Al negotia-
tions between miners and operators of
the Pittsburg district have been de-
clared of, and strike involving from
$l5, 900 to II coo men has been ordered
The conference committee Of the min
era and owners failing to agree ON the
69c rate for mining demanded by the
former, the operators proposed joint
convention of miners and operators to
be held in this city on Saturday. This
proposition was reported to the miners
convention when it reassembled and
was Promptly Rejected.
A vote was then taken, and the strike
was ordered to take effect Immediately
The delegates will return to their homes
and meetings will be called at every pit,
when the strike will be announced and
plans for its prosecution will be formu.
lated. The miners are hopeful Of win.
ming the strike for two principal reasons,
The first is that lake shipments of coal
are about to begin, and that the
demand for fuel will force the oper.
ators to pay the 69-cent rate. The
other reason is that never before have
the miners Of this district been so thor.
oughly organized as now, despite the
hard winter Of poverty and suffering
through which they have passed The
strike, to insure them victory, must
necessarily be short one, as the treas.

WASHINGTON, March THE senators
and members chosen by congress rs the
representatives OF their respective
houses on the proposed international
monetary commission have so far very
indefinite ideas as to what will be ex-
pected Of them. Whether they will be
called upon to act at all will depend
first upon the important contingency ct
whether such conference will be
called. and whether the president will
decide that the United Stated will be
reprented. The provision for the con-
ference explicitly leaves this matter to
his discretion. but there is thought to
be very little doubt that if some Euro
pean nation takes the initiative he will
put into effect the law providing for the
representation of the United States.
Believed Germany VIII Call 1t.
1t is also believed that Germany will
issue the call. and that the conference
will be held during the coming summer
or fall. Where it will be held will de-
pend upon the time Of the call, as will
also the basis upon which the question
of ratio or the extent to which silver
shall be used is discussed. On this lat
ter point, it is understood that advocates
of free coinage on the commission will
demand that the ratio shall be fixed at
. IS to /, and that they will not swerve
from this. AS now appears. they will
constitute majority Of the commission
from this country, as five OF the six
already chosen hold views favorable to
independent free coinage. The delega-
ton will not be complete until the pres
ident shall select the other members OF
it, whose appointment is left to him. II

NEW COMPETITION.
ROW IT BROUGHT ABOUT THE COAL RATE
WAR.
Manager Blair, Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Talks About the PitEbnrg Meeting.
ether Railroad Notes

Mr.. A. G.. Blair, general manager OF
the Wheeling aud Lake Erie railroad,
in an interview few days ago at the
Weddel House, in Cleveland, was asked
about the contest between the Pennsyl-
vania lines and the Wheeling road over
coal traffic rates. He Said
The trouble between the coal carry
ing railroads Of Ohio, which was har-
mOniously adjusted in Pttsburg yester-
day, is not one OF recent origin, nor did
II involve only two companies, but
affected seriously all the Ohio coal COM
panies. The real and only cause of the
Generalization was new competition in
The shape of the WS!honding Valley
carrying coal from the Cambridge fields
for two years back at ruinOusly low
prices, in order that they might estab-
iish themselves in the market.
The six railroads forming the Ohio
Coal Association invited the new com
pany TO become a member, and made
them what was apparently fair and
reasonable offer, The Walhonding Val
ley did not so consider II. and set about
10 make a record for itself, which
could only be done by cutting prices
and rates. 1t is we'll known that this
new competition has given the public
cheaper prices than ever before known,
and hence war has been brewing for
two wears.
ut eliminated few days since by
the Wheeling and Lake Erie getting the
Grand Trunk coal contract, which the
WalhOnding-Cam bridge roads had had
for two years, and which they only Sc
cured by cutting the rates. The older
roads, and in the case of the Wheeling
aud Lake Erie, in order 10 save part
of its trade, met the prices Of their
competitors, but did not. as stated,
make 17-cent per ton reduction. Tbs
prices, considering the changed mining
prices, were practically the same as last
year. So the old story has been re
peated; when new roads, and, there
fore, new competition, apperS, war is
waged by the new one 10 gain repre-
sentation and by the older ones to pre-
vent it.
The troubie eliminated at the Pitts
burg meeting yesterday, where gem
eTaI plan was agreed upon that will
enable these vast coal and carrying in
terests 10 divide the business aud main
tain living prices. The meeting was
harmonious in ali respects, both the
lake coal and the rail coal rates being
restored and affirmed for 1895.
mo possible benefit can accrue by
the coal-prod aud carrying inter
osts OF Ohio waging war and losing
money. Such conditions are epidemic
and soon effect everyone. The Wheel
ing and Lake Erie in yesterdays meet
ing recommended and urged an i'm
mediate and effective organization TO
promote the interests of all concerned
They were largely Instrumental In
bringing about the Columbus executive
meeting, which will take place next
week, for the purpose of completing
the plans. They claim that the coal
traffic is more than half its business,
and they are anxious, therefore, TO pro-
tect il by wise and conservative means,
which can only be applied through as
