They Are Not Discouraged.
The following letter from Gen.
eral Secretary Nudge, of the
Northern Mineral Mine Work
ers' Progressive Union, shows
how the miners feel regarding
the decision rendered by Judge
Edison in their case against the
Minnesota Iron company, and
in what contempt the judges of
our courts are held:
NEGAUNEE, Mich, 4, 20, 1885,
G.. J. Rim, Esq.
Dear Sir and Bro.:-Yours of the
28th at hand. In reply permit me
to say that I am sorry the case
against the Minnesota mining cap
tain has turned out as it has,
but let us notlose heart. My motto
is ever, Try Again. In this case, as
in the case of Eugene V. Debs, it
seems that the Judge is all-power-
full.
It seems to me, Brother Rim, that
we must consolidate more and more
if we ever wish to obtain our ri ghts.
But as it is today. there is faction
here and faddist there, while all
the time some are trying to instill
discord by petty jealousies, etc.,
while the Trade Unionists are ever
bent on gaining some little want
age ground in this great unequal
struggle. Let us keep on, my
brother, and if we fall another
heroic spirit will take our place.
The only thing I deplore now is the
utter selfshness of large per cent
age of the wage earners, whose
OILY care is for themselves, and as
long as they can float, even if it be
among the flotsam and jetsam OF
society, they care not who goes un-
derneath the tide.
Hope you will do better in Du-
luth than where you were before.
am proud of the Duluth Trades
and hope for their un~
limited success.
Yours fraternal1y,

contents are strictly up-to-date.
Toledo CO., Union: The first
number of The Labor World,
printed at Duluth, Minn., and
representing the interests of
Experimentation at Duluth, West
Superior and the upper lake
region, has been received by
The Union. It is a bi-weekly
publication, 24pages, magazine
form, excellently printed, with
a choice selection of reading
matter. Sabre c.. Akin is edi-
tor and publisher.
The Western Laborer: The
Labor World is the title of a
bright new paper published in
the interests of the working
people of Duluth and West Su-
perior. The contents are ex-
cellent, the paper itself model
of the printers art, and the
business men show their appre-
citation of a. good medium by
patronizing it's columns freely.
It is published bi-weekly. We
wish the new paper large
measure of success.
Coming Events: We are in
receipt of a copy of the initial
number of The Labor World, a
handsome, welledited and neat
ly gotten up magazine of six
teen pages, not including the
covers. It is chuck full of good
reading matter, and if advertis-
ing counts for aught, it certain
ly starts out in this direction
with an air of prosperity which
goes to show that the business
men of these twin cities, just
know on which side of their
bread lays the butter. The
workingmen are the earners of
both the bread and the butter,
and by the liberal advertising
in the Labor World, it seems
that it's patrons are fully cog
infant of this fact, and hence
their recognition of the toiler's
organ.

editor, and he may well feel

WALL STREET SPECULATION
Various influences Combine to Make
Business Active
The Conciiiatory Tone OF the Qasen's Speech
and Probable Defeat of Free Silver
Legislation Help

NEW YORK, Feb. l3.-Business after the
holiday started in under the stimulating
influence of high prices for American
stocks in London and buying orders for
that account in the market. This coudi-
ton of affairs was mainly attributable to
the conciliatory tone of the queens mes
sage in relation to the Venezuela imbra-
Clio. The local III irket while somewhat
less active than that of Tuesday, and ir-
regular at times, exhibited an undcrcur-
rent of strength that was as surprising as
it was unpalatabie to the professional
bears and the bulls without stocks. In the
late dealings the market was stimulated
by Washington forecasts of decisive free
silver defeat by the house committee of
the whole. Railrold earnings that came
to hand wfre as q rule favorable and
experienced judges of the commercial paper
market predicted an easier turn provided
money rates continued Oh about the pres
ent basis. In purely speculative circles q
pessimistic tone prevails on the subject of
the probable ac .ual results of the new gov
ernment load. Up to midday the move
ments in prices mad been somewhat erratic,
but after that hour the entire list developed
q decided upward tendency, in which the
graEgers, coalers and a few other shares
made the greatest progress. The closing
was moderately active and strong at the
best figures of the day. Railroad bonds
were less active than usual recently, but
an upward tendency was noted. The sales
aggregated 81 1862 900. Prices of govern
ment hecurities were shaded somewhat on
trading amounting to $o75,OOO.
