MONEY QUESTION LEADS.
Statement of New Party Issues By
the American BimetaIlc League.

The following has been issued by the
American timetable League:
A statement of the issues on which the
new party will organize.
The money question is now indisputably
the dominant issue in the United States
and will remain so until settled. and set
tied rightly. Other questions, however
important, must wait for this, which 10 n
greater or less extent involves all others.
The issue 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 unalterably opposed to the
single gold standard, and demand the i'm
mediate return TO the constitutional stand
ard of gold and silver, by the restoration
by this Government, independently of any
foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage
of both silver and gold into standard
money, at the ratio of 16 10 1, and upon
terms of exact equality; the silver coin
to be full legal tender. equal with gold,
for all debts and dues, public and private.
Second-We hold that the power 10 con-
troll and regulate paper currency is in
separable from the power to coin money,
and that all currency intended TO circn-
late as money should be issued and the
volume controlled by the general Govern
ment only and should be legal tender.
Third-We are unalterably opposed 20
the issue by the United States of interest
bearing bonds in time of peace. and de-
mand the payment of all coin obligations
of the United States as provided by exist
ing laws in either gold or silver cola. at
the option of the Government and not at
the option of the, creditor. On this issue
we appeal from the dictation of the money
power to the intelligence and patriotism
of the American people.
Then. follows a long address TO the peo-
pie of the United States.

EIGHT THOUSAND RESUME.
Coal Miners of the Pittsburg District
Win Part of Their Contention.

Eight thousand river coal miners in the
Pittsburg district have resumed work,
the operators having granted the 90 cents
per ton demanded by the men. The
operators claim. however. that the adj
vance is not permanent. and that it,
would not have been granted but for the
reason of the favorable condition of the
river for shipping coal. The railroad coal
operators association has decided To pay
not over - cents as long rs the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal Company pays
its miners that price. The members of the
association who granted the 90 cents de-
manded by the miners explained that they
did ii so they could furnish coal To their
local retail trade and that no coal was
being dug for outside shipments.

Aunui oui Vi Vic
Congressman Money, of mississippi,
proposes visiting the republic of Nicara-
qua the latter part of this month TO ac-
quaint himself with the proposed Nicara-
guam canal. Mr.. Money is not satisfied
with the bill which recently passed the
Senate authorizing the construction of the
canal. 1t appropriates $70,OO0,OOO for
that purpose, but makes no provision that
a single mile of the canal shall be COM
pleted. All this money. in his opinion,
might be spent upon the harbor of Grey
town, which is not n satisfactory harbor,
and which, he says, if dredged, would
bee filled up again by the first norther. lie
favors the canal project, but would pre-
fer that il be built by private corpora
ton, provided the profits would justify
fair dividends. If not, il should be built
under Government control. lie Is GER
tain, however. that there should be a
canal if the route shall prove TO be
feasible one. 1t is Mr.. Moneys intention
to remain six weeks or two months IN
Nicaragua and travel over the better part
of the route OH horseback.
