MILLvILLE, Oct. Z. 1sss.-The Glass
blowers Union Of this city had another
conference yesterday and informed Whit
fall, Tatum & Co. that they would not
go to work at the 20 per cent reduction.
This caused the following circular to be
issued and a copy of which was mailed
to all their flint g~lassblowers:-
As soon as possible we will start one
or more Of our flint glass furnaces. ANY
OF our old men wishing work at 20 per
cent. off the list viii apply to the office.
Preference will be given to men who
have worked for us, but if there are
not enough applications TO fully man the
furnaces we will obtain new men to fill
the positions. Should union wages be
settled at higher or lower rates than
rates from the time they are fixed and
accepted by the manufacturers. Should
no settlement be made between the union
and the manufacturers during the blast
OF IS n '9f, then 20 per cent. of will
blast
Today the firm will meet the men in
dividually. Just what the men will
decide to do cannot be learned. From
appearances it is hardly likely that very
many will accept the terms and go TO
work under the reduction. Yesterday all
credits of the glassblowers were stopped
at the companies stores. and they could
purchase nothing except for cash. The
glasSblowers will not say what they will
do If their places are filed by non-union

WHERE EFFECT FOLLOWED CAUSE
our Mistakes Promptly Punished in
Our Own History

N
If we consult our own memories. and
especially if we examine the statistics of
exports and imports, we find that the Pc
Rod of depression now SO much discussed
commenced in the United States in fhe
winter of 1923, and that also. much about
the same time, signs of business distress.
NOT, however, SO aggravated, began to be
observable in the other principal coun-
tries OF the world. 1t is argued now that
all this depression was caused by the
demonetization of silver. although that
decentralization, in SO far as it existed
took place twenty years before the period
of depression set in. II view of ali that
occurred during hat twenty years, MOTH
ing would seem to be more Illogical. That
widespread depression did exist, and tina
y still exists with us in an aggravated
form cannot be disputed; but it Is equally
~indlsputable that the decade from 1881
unprecedented prosperity for all great in
dustrfal peoples, with one exception, and
that exception. was France. The exports
and imports of France fell off SIS millions
of dollars in 1883, 1913 millions in 1884, and
III millions in 1885. When 1t is remem-
bered hat France has more money per
well to point cut these facts to illustrate
that prosperity does not depend upon the
amount of money in circulation. A fair
amount OF money is necessary, but other.
circumstances must always be considered;
and it is only fair to say that but for the
ravages of the phylioxera, which largely
destroyed lS vines, ana Tor other crop
disasters, Industrious France would dur
ing this period have prospered as much,
perhaps, as the Germans and others who
had far less money per capita. The pc
riod from, say 1875 to 1891, inclusive, may,
therefore. be pointed to as an era during
which America and all Europe prospered,
save only where local cause interfered.
after the silver dollar had been dropped
from the coinage laws of the United
States by what is called the Crime of
1879" and just after silver had ceased to
be coined in France, Germany and other
European countries. Was the general

the countries of Europe, prior to the end
of the year 1874. the cause of the prosper
ity which followed? 1t would be far more
reasonable to say that it was han it now

business depression of today in America.

ratio Executive is a most in
to physical force are almost openly made.
There is just one thing will insure
the public peace in the crisis through
which the country will pass in she be-
ginning Of November. This one thing is
the defeat of Bryan by a majority both
in the popular and electoral vote that
will overawe the spirit of anarchy and
revolution. A narrow victory will only
lead to cries of bribery and corruption. of
buldozing and coercion. But a sweeping
defeat by hundreds of thousands of votes
and by the Electoral SURFACES of States
which Bryan hopes to carry. will be be-
yond misrepresentation or misrepresenta-
ton, and will still the demon of plumber
and bloodshed which only too surely in
spires the Popocratic leader and his asso-
ciates.
Such a victory for righteousness and
good government as this, coupled with
the fast changing industrial and com
mercial conditions will give the country
a new lease of peace and prosperity. The
causes of unrest will disappear and the
voice of the agitator will fan on the deaf
ears of happy and contented men.

This paper is Democratic in principles
sad Is Independent in its uiews on all iocaI
questions.
Two Just Judges.

1t is refreshing to those who are tempt
ed at times TO doubt the survival of any
virtue in our politics to witness such in
cidenis as the voluntary retirement of
Judges Brown and Clements of Brooklyn
from the Democratic ticket because they
would not do violence to their con-
sciences SO far as to associate themselves
with Organism.
Judge Brown was nominated by the
silver Democracy of Brooklyn during his
absence in Europe. The post offered him
is that of Presiding Judge of the Supreme
Court for his District, a post of the high
est honor n importance and carrying
with it a salary of s12, 900 a year. AS
soon as he had a chance to. size up the
situation, Judge Brown wrote a brief let
ter, saying that the exigencies of the
times compelled him to vote the Repub-
lican National ticket this year. and that,
therefore, he could not accept the nomina-
ton OF any party which supports Bryan
Aiu ms party.
Justice Clements has been fourteen
years on the bench. He is a staunch
Democrat of the honest school. He views
with horror the criminal alterations of
Bryanism. He therefore refuses to run
on the Democratic ticket, representing as
1t does rank revolutionary doctrines, and
he announces that he does not intend to
support Bryan.
This is patriotism. This is disinterest-
edness. Here are two men voluntarily
s~urrendering the prospect of s12, 900 a year
for fourteen years. to be earned in the
most congenial way, because they cannot
give adhesion to the denominations of the
Chicago platform. While the country
has men to pursue this noble course, its
future is safe.

TROLLEY CAR AND DRILL ENGINE

Trolley car No. GOO, Of the Pavonia
avenue line. in charge of Patrick Byrne,
was run into at the Barnum street cross
ing of the Erie Railroad in Pavonia ave-
nue. last evening. shortly after eight
o'clock, by a drill engine. The accident
was due to the carelessness of the mo-
torman. The gates at the crossing were
down, but Byrne did not discover the
fact until he had run through them. In
his excitement he stopped the car in the
middle of the crossing. Just at this
minute drill engine No. GA, moving very
slowly backed in. The tender struck the
fender of the trolley and smashed it. The
Motorman Byrne was not hurt. I. Two
windows in the trolley car were cracked.
There were no passengers in the car to
become panic stricken, nor were there
any threats to lynch the motorman. The
accident caused no commotion whatever.

ALMOST STOPPED THE SHOW.

Bicycle Policeman Winters, of the Oak
land avenue precinct. came near stop
ping the German play which was pro-
duced in the West Hoboken Theatre at
Union street and Central avenue, thai
place, last night. Little did he know
when he arrested Meyer Pleyer, a the
atrical transfer agent of Newark, for
driving a heavily loaded theatrical wagon
with stage scenery, over the Boulevard,
yesterday afternoon. that there was a
crowd of German actors and actresses
waiting at the above theatre for the
scenery and their trunks.
When Pleyer was arraigned at the sta
ton house he begged to be allowed to
take the scenery to the theatre and
promised to return. Captain Newton
could not let him go, but ne sent the
goods to the theatre by Winters. The
artists sen their thanks to the Captain
for his kind heartedness.
This morning Pleyer pleaded ignorance
of the law, and as he was a stranger
Police Justice Douglass discharged him.

sold FOR TAXES.
City Gets ST., 900 Cash and
SIS, 900 Worth Of Real
Estate = Hruska's
Church.

City Collector Simeon Smith conducted
a sale of lands for unpaid taxes, assess
ments and water rents in the A1dermanic
Chamber yesterday afternoon. The at
tendance was large, and although not
very many desirable tracts were offered,
the bidding in some instances was spir-
tied. There were, in all. about seven
hundred pieces exposed for sale. Out
siders bought in a sufficient number to
net the city about ST., 900. The city itself
had to take 5000 worth. Among the
buyers were Sarah Rock, John Edelstein,
Frank Mitchell, John A. Lane, Henry r.
Knapp, Edward Sheehy, Andrew Brana-
gan. George Flaacke, Jersey City Insur-
ance Company, G. r. Benjamin, Frank
Jones and J. r. Smith.
Spectators are not buying as literally
at these sales as they used to. They
are all holding back until the city ac-
quires title to the land, and then they
buy when the city offers a warranty
deed. Thus the city is again the Owner
of several hundred tracts for which 1t
has absolutely no use.
Mayor Wanser will, in the course of a
week or two, recommend to the Alder
men the sale of the city's tracts in order
tudt tIey may pass inlo the possession
of individuals and be returned to the
ratables.
The most interesting purchase made
yesterday was the Greek Church in Chest
nut avenue, the pastor OF which, Mr..
Hruska, was recently arrested for manu-
featuring cigars in his house. Hruska.
after being arrested, was removed from
his charge by the parishioners, but by
an alleged sharp deal he took possession
of the property and claimed 1t as his
own. While the wranglfng was at its
height. no taxes were paid, and as a
consequence the property was sold. For
the old trustees ex-Judge Puster bought
it in, paying 1882 SO. The trouble in the
church has all been settled and services
are being conducted there as usual. A
new pastor is to be engaged as soon as
the congregation can be called together.
