Question of Wages of Employees.

AS the increased earnings of the Indian
apolis lines from week to week are pub
lished there is a growing feeling, among
the train men, especially. that the time
has come to have the 10 per cent. reduction
in their wages restored. A superintend-
ent says the employees should bear in mind
that the earnings Of 1893 and 1894 were
largely in excess of those of the present
time, and the roads are really In no better
position to restore wages to the basis of
1877 than they were TO continue on that
basis when the reduction was made. To
be sure. Indianapolis lines are carrying a
large tonnage. but investigation will show
that IL is carried on rates which leave but
little above the actual cost of Transports
ton. What is needed is higher rates.

Seven Months of Tariff Reform.

The Wilson German tariff law has
been ia operation just seven months. II
cannot he said that the new Law has
given satisfaction, even to its friends,
but the dissatisfaction is very great.
The most noticeable feature Of the work

ficiency which it has created. In the
seven months m which 1t has been in
operation the deficiency has amounted
to Si3,OO0,0O0 in round numbers. The
custom receipts during the first seven
months OF the Mckinley law we're sl27,-

OF the Wilson law are S96,547 GAG. The
internal revenue receipts under the Nc

$50, $40; those OF the first seyen
months OF the Wilson law, $50, 359.6l6.

ficiency. The average deficiency has
been s6,O0O.OOO a month, while the Nc

"Mexico has free silver" cry some. OF
course she has, and in that paradise OF
the white metal the workmen receive an
average OF 33 cents a day, which are
worth only L. cents when they cross the
United States line. That is what free
silver has done for the country. And
what difference does i. make 10 Mexico?
There they have classes. The rich do
not work and the poor do not aspire to
anything better than their lowly estate.
Mexico has little or no business in the
sense that business is understood here.
1t is n deplorsble semi civilized country.
in which the men md women who labor
are of no more value than the cheap sill
YER with which the country is flooded.
Mexico has free silver" Yes, and We
sincerely hops that no one in this intelli-
gent land is thinking Of reducing it to
the state IN which Mexico exiets.
Then there are others who say that
France has silver, lots Of it. Yes. of
course she has. But what kind OF silver
is It? 1t is all redeemable in gold. On
that basis We are all in favor OF all the
silve. which the country will absorb.
RsdeemabIe in gold is good motto for
this country. And how much gold has
France? With half Of our population
she has three times as much gold as We
have. We approach her in quantity Of
silver. but 10 quantity Of gold We are
enormously in the rear. II We can do
with silver as France has done there will
be Nd opposition to it.

Only q Scare.

The attitu lie OF the radical advocates
Of absolute and unconditional free silver,
and especially 10 opposition to the bime-
tallic ideas Of the Republican party and
OF the southern business men in express
ing a fear that We will fall under the
domination OF foreign governments as

in it than q mere groundless scare. II
an International agreement becomes ef-
fectiye, as hundreds Of thousands of in
telligent Americans believe is possible
and desirable,it will not be:by the United
States goine to Europe, but by coming
to American ideas in regard to bimetall-

ideas in ours. At present Great Britain
and Germany are upon gold basis, the
former since 1915. and by abandoning
that ideaT;.I an international monetary
cSg{erence, they will simply confess the
the soundness OF American bimetalllc
ideas. 1t is not the design OF such a
conference to induce the United States
to accede. TO single gold standard.

About That Woman's Bible.

Miss Frances Willard and Lady Henry
Somerset have withdrawn their support
from the movement to manufacture a
woman's edition OF Tie Bible. The
movement seems to nave a god-mother
in Elizabeth Cady' Stanton, who is some
what advanced in hetrodoxy as well ms
her views on woman suffrage. Elizabeth
would not have the least scruples about
changing the accepted version Of the
Bible IN order to place woman in what
she is pleased to regard better light.
TIE two temperance reformers signed
the petition for the undertaking, with
out taking into consideration its hetrO-
dox nature. But as both are good church
women they have taken the opportunity
to withdraw their names.
The whole affair is SO marvellous that
1t is almost ridiculous. These women
seem to have an idea that the scriptures
have done their sex an injustice, begin
ming with the story Of Eve, who tempted
Adam. They propose to rs-translate the
Bible in the interests of woman's rights.
But they will have to go back oven far
Their. They will have TO re-write it..
The Bible reflects the spirit Of the times
in which it was written. Moses took a
very primitive view Of women; Paul did
the same, though he came much later.
There are many noble women and many
fine tributes to women in the Bible,
some among the finest in literature, but
as a whole, it must be admitted that
woman does not occupy as important n
place 10 the scriptures as she does in
modern thought. But the Bibls was not
written to he a TREATISE on woman's
rights. It's writers were concerned with
the great problems OF the human soul.
The rest they took just as they found it.
and some OF it they no doubt colored 10
their own minds, through which the
matter had to pass. To change that now
is to mutilate the Bible, which is the re-
ligious storehouse of the human family,
even il it be not accepted as the in
spirsd word, the i1fallibIs law OF God.
The churches have long been depend
emit on women. Without the women
there would be no churches 10 this land
today, or they would DO very meager
ones. Should women lose faith in the
Bible, or even interest in the church,
and this belief that it discrimates be-
tween the sexes tends in that direction,
the loss to religion as now constituted
would be very serious one. But Eliza
beth Cady Stanton's followers are in no
immediate prospect OF becoming numer-

The Silver Question.

Silver ia now quoted at Ga. A few
weeks ago it was GO. This Of course
means per ounce. When silver is at par
It is S1.29 Der ounce. With the white
metal a. "a cents the silver 10 dollar is
worth 49k cents. There are many who
believe, and not without reason, that the
gap between silver and gold would be
entirely closed il the leading countries
OF the world would agree upon system
OF international agreement rs to ratio
and adopt bimetaiism. Whether one
country could do 30 successfully is a
question which puzzles even the wisest
statesmen. To attempt it and fail would
leave the Country making the trial in a
worse financial plight than though the
attempt had meyer been made. Many
who are thoroughly in favor OF bimetal-
ism fear the result. One thing the
United States could do, however, and
that is TO adopt retaliatory policy with
those countries which refuse to Join 10
an international agreement. Such a
policy has been suggested by Senator
Lodge, Of Massachusetts.
The Republican party at large has
committed itself to bimetalism. Its lat
est prOnunciamento on this question
was made ut Minneapolis ia 1892 The
silver plank in the platform reads as fol.
lows:
The American people, from tradition
and interest, favor binetalism, and the
Republican party demands the use Of
both gold and silver as standard money,
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legisla-
ton, as will secure the maintenance of
the parity OF values of the two metals;
that the purchasing and debt paying
power OF the dollar. whether of gold, sill
yer or paper, shall be at ali times equal.
The interest OF the producers OF the
country, its farmers and workingmen,
demand that every dollar, paper or coin.
issued by the government, shall be as
good as any other. We commend the
wise and patriotic steps already taken
by our government to secure an inter-
ooSsSuoA SohAOiCuCc W dOOPt cuCu
ures as will insure parity Of value be-
tween gold and silver for use as money
throughout the world.
The next national convention should
60 step farther and embody the Lodge
idea in the platform. When Ger
many, France and England, the chief
obstacles in the way, see that the United
States means business, these countries
can be brought to terms. Already there
are favorable signs appearing in the old
world. Germany and France have al
ready taken steps looking to an lnterna.
tional conference. And even in selfish
England there is strong sentiment IA
voring the restoration Of silver. Seven
Of the directors OF the Bank of England
are now bimetalists, as are also some OF
the leading financiers Of London town
A retaliatory policy on the part of the
United States would hasten the solution
OF the question.
