derives its voting strength from those
who may without reproach be called the
common people; and we point to the
overwhelming defeat of the party in 1894,
10 the opposition aroused by the veto OF
the seigniorage bill and to the still more
unanimous protest against the issue of
gold bonds as proof that the Democratic
party can not be brought to the support
Of the gold standard policy.
We believe that the money question
will be the paramo cunt issue in 1896, and
will so remain until it is settled by the
intelligence and patriotism of the Ameri-
can voters.
We believe majority of the Demo-
Gratis of the United States favor bimetal-
lism and realize that it can be secured
only by the restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
the present ratio, and we assert that the
majority has and should exercise the
right to control the policy of the party
and retain the party name.
We believe it is the duty of the major
ity and within their power to take charge
of the party organization and make the
Democratic party an effective instrument
in the accom- lishment of needed re-
forms.
It is not necessary that Democrats
should surrender their convictions on
other question in order to take an active
part in the settlement of the question
which at this time surpasses all others in
Importance. We believe that the rank
and file of the party should at once as
sert themselves in the demo cratic party
and place it on record in favor Of the i'm
mediate restoration of the free and un-
! limited coinage of gold and silver at the
present legal ratio of 16 to /, as such
coinage existed prior to 1878, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation, such gold and silver to be a
full legal tender for all debts, public and
private.
We urge all Democrats who favor the
financial policy above set forth to asso-
ciate themselves together and impress
their views upon the party organization.
We urge all newspapers in harmony with
the above financial policy to place it at
the head of the editorial column and as
sist on the immediate restoration of bl-
metallism.

"Ths finance question will undoubtedly
be the chief issue in 1896. 1t far ex-

on this issue is urgently demanded. The
popular ignorance on this vital subje is
dense, particularly in the west and south.

In the income tax decision in the

Associate Justice Stephen J. Field added
somewhat to his previous record for
selfshness and thorough want of sym.
pathy with the masses of his countrymen,
when he entered vigorous protest
against the law as whole, because it did
not exempt the salaries and other in
comes of United States judges. Truly
the Republican party has much to an
swer for, but among the many off trans
actions, the appointment Of this alleged
Democrat to the supreme bench stands
ont among the most glaring.

BRADFORD, Pa, July 1.-The forest
fires are still burning feroely, and large
gangs of men are at work trying to pre-
vent the flames from spreading to valua-
BILE property. Lumber and oil men are not
over sanguine, and do not know what mo-
ment their property will be destroyed. A
second request for aid from Sugar Run was
received here yesterday, but later advices
were to the effect that the men had se-
cured control of the fire. Sundays fire at

THE STRIKERS GAIN THEIR POINT.

They Refused to Work with Ten Nom
Union Painters, and to End the Row the
Foreman Dismissed the Objectionable
Men-No Arrests Made.
CHICAGO, June 11.-Blood has stained
the beautiful marble entrance to the ST.
100000 mansion now being erected by 2.
ID. Armour, Jr., at the southwest corner
of Thirty-seventh street and Michigan
avenue. A handful of non-union painters,
who have been at work on the interior Of
the building, were attacked yesterday
afternoon by party of union men, and
desperate conflict ragged for fully five min
utes. Finally, when peace was restored
four non-union men were led away to a
neighboring drug store to have their
broken heads patched up. One Of them,
Adam Boyer, was SO weak from loss of
blood that he could hardly walk. The in
iured are: Adam Boyer, cut on top Of
head anu right.eye half gouged out; WILL
lam Bliss, struck on left temple with an
iron tool, making a severe cash; two other
men were thrown down flight Of stairs
Send both received severe cuts and bruises.
: The police were not called to the scene OF
the fracas and no arrests were made.
The trouble arose because ten painters
not indorsed by the Building Trades ooun-
oil were working on the building. For
some time the matter has been debated be.
tween the trades council and William jail
lies, foreman for the New York firm Of
Herger Brothers, who have the contract for
the painting Of Mr.. Armour's new home
and who employed the Objectionable
workmen. Saturday Alex Il. Mcdonald,
president of the Painters District council,
went to Mr.. Jallies and told him that IL
the non-union painters were not off the
Job yesterday strike would be declared
on the work Of all the other trades en-
ployed on the residence. The non-union
painters were not discharged, and when
the strike came fighting quickly ensued.
The union men outnumbered their OPP
ponents, and had all the best of the en-
counter. A terrible war was waged In
the five minutes before the foreman and
others could induce the participants to
cease fighting. Hammers, wrenches and
all sorts of tools were used In the combat,
and one after another of the men were
felled by the blows from fist or some
impromptu weapon, only to bob up again
and renew the onslaught. 1t was only
when Foreman Jallies came running up
and waved the white flag that the attack
of the union men ceased He signed the
agreement presented by the trades coun-
Gil, and Immediately afterward discharged
all of the Objectionable men, ten In
number, They went away-those who
could walk-but declared they would pros
ecute both the contractors who had dis
charged them and the union men who
had assaulted them.
