The Dispatch. IN its issue OF Sunday.
says "the Mexican silver dollar IS worth
lust as much In the city OF Mexico as
the United States Silver dollar is in the
city OF Washington"
That is only half the story. The obvious
purpose Of this IS TO make It appear that
the Mexican dollar is equal in value TO
the United States dollar. In point OF
fact the Mexican dollar IS worth about
nfty-three cents in this country, whereas
the silver dollar Of the United States
is worth nearly two silver dollars In
Mexico. Now you have the whole story

Mr. Bryan. IN one Of his West Virginia
speeches, said: prior TO 1873 the silver
dollar was a hundred and three cent
dollar. measured by gold" This IS quoted
by free silver paper in Virginia as a
great argument IN favor Of free coinage
But can any better argument than this
woll-known TACT be offered TO show the
impossibility OF maintaining silver and
god at a parity? Can any better argu-
ment be offered than this well-known fact
to show the absurdity Of Mr.. Bryan's
claim that under free coinage silver bull
ion will advance to the exact price, and
tho fixed price Of SL29 an ounce? Out
OF their own mouths DO we condemn them.

LABOR ORGANIZATIONS AT ODDS.
knights and WindOw-Glass Work
ers Part cmpany--POIitics.


WASHINGTON, August 1S.-A formal
separation has taken place between the
Knights Of Labor and the Window-Glass
Workers Association OF the United
States. This was accomplished at a meet
ing Of the Executive Board of the latter
organization, and Messrs. G. S. Cake, j.
b. Yournon, p. Clarry, and John G.
Smith. a committee OF glass workers. AL
though nothing to that effect appears on
the surface. the action was due to politics,
TO some extent. at least. Mr. Cake,
speaking of the committees visit TO
Washington and its result, said:
1T is useless 10 90 into a long story
OF the reasons that brought about the
separation. l think the window-glass
workers are strong enough to go II alone
We are about 5000 strong, and will do
better by not being tied up with another
order. The knights of Labor, j under
stand, are all for Bryan, while the ma
jority Of the glass-workers are for Nc
John w. Hayes. general secretary Of the
knights of Labor, does not take the
same view OF the situation that Mr..
Cake does. He said this afternoon that
the trouble began in July, 1894, when the
WindOW-glass branch Of the order de-
not paid their dues since then, he said,
but are carried on the rolls. Under the
constitution of the Knights, any ten men
who remain in an assembly after the
others withdraw can retain the charter
Of that branch, so that in case the glass
workers carry out their threats to with
draw. any ten men who remain Will serve
to continue the organization with the
knights
Mr.. Hayes says there are not only ten
men, but a considerable percentage of
the .glass-workers who favor remaining
in the order.
