A PETITION FOR LOWER WAGES.

Professional Friends of Labor Ask For a
Reduction In the Purchasing Power of
the Dollars Paid to Workingmen.
The knights of Labor was at one
time a great and powerful organization
with membership of about 1000, 900.
Internal discussions and mismanage-
ment by its leaders have reduced its
members to a mere handful and have
utterly destroyed its influence with the
workers. This wreck of the greatest Ia
Dor association ever formed in America
is not surprising in view of the kind of
men who have secretly controlled its
councils. Chief among these is Master
Workman James r. Sovereign Of Ar
kansas, a Populist politician who is
now doing all in his power to induce
workingmen to support the Silverite
candidates under the pretense that free
silver is reform in the interests Of Ia
Dor. How the reform is to be brought
about he does not explain.
Put in the form Of g petition the
views of Mr.. Sovereign and his silverite
associates, E. V. Debs, Samuel Gompers,
John Mcbride and other labor leaders"
who are shouting for 16 to /, would read
this way:
1--WE, the undersigned self constituted
representatives Of labor, desire that our
money standard be so changed that the
dollar shall be worth only half of its
present value. We respectfully submit
that under our present financial system
the wages of labor are paid either in
gold or in currency kept at par with
gold. Owing to the many new inven-
tions and discoveries which have greatly
increased the efficiency of labor and
cheapened the cost of producing all
kinds Of manufactured goods, the pur-
chasing power of money has in recent
years advanced so that the workers now
get far more in return for their wages
than they did in former years. We wish
also to point out that owing to the open
ing up to cultivation Of vast tracts OF
fertile lands, both in our own western
states and in South America, Russia,
India and Egypt, and by the greatly re-
duced cost Of transportation by rail and
water, the prices Of the farm products
which we consume are now very much
lower than they were 20 years ago. The
result of this general cheapening Of
commodities is to give the workers fan
too many things in exchange for the
dollars paid than for their labor.
LAS statesmen, financial authorize!
and profound economists, we hereby de
clare that the only remedy for condi
ton Of affairs in which wages buy too
much goods is in cheapening the valu'
Of the dollar. We therefore demand thu
enactment of 16 to free coinage law
under which 81 cents worth of sfive
bullion will be stamped lone dollar, ,
and that such dollar be made lega
tender for all debts. AS the million
who work for wages are always creditor
of their employers, this will enable tn
manufacturers, mine owners and othe
debtors to labor to pay wages in cheape
money.
by measuring goods in silver dol
lars, prices will be twice as high as the
are now, and the dollars received by tn
workers will only buy half as much a
at present. We therefore protest agains
the gold standard system, which compel
labor TO take its reward in dollars whic

Have the People So Soon Forgotten the
Panic of 1898?
Most men have short memories, but
it can hardly be possible that the Amer
lean people have forgotten the great
financial panic Of 1898. Whatever the
original causes may have been, and on
this point there are different opinions,
it is agreed by all authorities that the
long period of business depression, fail
ing banks, closed factories and idle
workers which began in that year was
precipitated by the imminent danger
that, owing to the operations of the
Sherman silver purchase law, the coun-
try would be unable to maintain the
gold standard. Timid investors had seen
with alarm the growing volume Of sill
yer certificates, based on bullion which
was steadily falling in value. They be-
gan to call in their loans and deposits
in banks. Some weak banks were IN
able to respond and failed. This in
creased the demand for money and more
loans were withdrawn. 1t soon became
almost impossible to secure money on
any terms, depositors rushed to the
banks, which in turn were compelled to
suspend cash payments, and widespread
disaster followed. These things should
be fresh in the recollection Of every man
who will vote in November.
In 1898 the sound money representa-
tives of both political parties in congress
worked together to repeal the Sherman
law. There is much greater need this
year for a union of all who are opposed
to the financial decisions of the free sill.
yer and fiat money advocates. The issue
of limited amount of silver certificates
brought ruin and bankruptcy. Far worse
results would follow the opening Of oul
minis to the free and unlimited coinage
of all the silver of the world.

GIucose Imitation Of Honey.

How much adulterated honey Il
sold in Chicago? That is hard to tell, .
said DIR. G. c. Butler, president Of the
State Beekeepers' association, "but there
is a great deal Of glucose which is sold
for honey.
''It is said that since August Chicago
has received 500 tons Of honey. Some
people say over 1000 tons have been
sold. The increase is all glucose. Adult
teration is confined wholly to strained
honey. 1t is impossible for human art
toproduce real honey in the comb which
is not bungling affair. l once saw an
attempt by celebrated German to imi-
tate the bee, and the work looked fairly
we'll until il was placed alongside Of real
honeycomb, when it was evident it was
a bad job.

Of glucose for the real article, and we

session and ask that it be made a GRIM
inal offense. The adulteration lowers
the price Of honest honey and Injuries its

LESS TRUTHFUL.
This Is a Mans Assertion In Regard to
Women Compared With Men.

This Is a Mans Assertion In Regard To
Women Compared With Men.
A man who has made study OF
women and their ways remarked the
other day that women are, as set, less
frank and truthful than men. Whatever
truth there is in this assertion we may
he sure it is at least not innate, but due
to the difference in the requirements OF
the two sexes and the consequent diff
ference in their education. Men are
taught to reveal true natures from the
cradle to the grave. Men are taught
that, being human, they are subject to
various passions and liable to fall into
error which it is not necessary for them
to conceal, for il they deviate from the
straight and narrow path the world will
quickly forget and forgive. Women, on
the contrary. are taught that if they are
not inwardly statues Of decorum, they
must make it appear that they are, for
the world is merciless to one Of their
sex who by word OF deed hints that the
smallest tottering on her pedestal, not
to mention even momentary descent
from it, is possible.
In short, women are required to con-
ceal their real human selves from all
bebolders as absolutely as they conceal
their lower limbs in the conventional
draperies Of femininity. while men are as
free to reveal their real selves 10 the
world as to clothe themselves in the
neither garments Of their sex. But con-
cealment or lack Of frankness is by no
means untruthfulness. Philadelphia

strange Adventure of a Letter.

An interesting chapter has just been
added to the history Of letters. 1t has
been supplied by the adventures Of let
ter which N. Henri Rochefort wrote TO
a member Of his family shortly after
his escape from the seclusion Of Decos,
a good many years ago now. 1t is dated
from on board the mail steamer which
was, at the time Of writing, conveying
NJ. Rochefort from Australia to San
Francisco. 1t relates the bold breast
stroke the writer made for freedom
through a sea Of sharks to the British
bark, in which be presently vanished
from the gaze Of his custodians And it
gives a lively picture Of NJ. Rochefort
and the skipper, Captain Law, peram-
bulating the streets Of Sydney, the cap
tain pulling up at every corner to clasp
his shipmate to his heart in true British
sailor fashion. Further details are re-
served for viva voce communication, and
no doubt were communicated.
But the letter never reached its in
tended recipient, and she reads it now
for the first time in the columns Of a
Paris newspaper. For NJ. Rochefort had
reasons for not troubling the French post
al authorities with its delivery. he in
trusted it to a fellow passenger. The
latter got to Paris. but he didn't feel
well. So he put the letter in his library.
Then he died. and his library was sold.
Part Of that got into book box on the
Quais. Out Of that book box purchaser
picked a volume. In the volume he
found the letter. Now, with the writer's
consent, he has printed it.-Pall hall

The Drawing Power Of Rome.

The drawing power Of Rome itself is
proverbial among travellers, taking form
in the belief that whoever drinks Of the
water Of Trevi by moonlight and throws
q coin into the fountain will some day
come back. The name Trevi is some
times derived from "trivium," "cross-
roads," and all crossroads belonged to
Hecate, goddess Of enchantment, so that
the superstition probably had its far
away origin in a spell Of bygone days.
But it is neither the moonlight, nor the
water, nor the offering of the obolus to
the internal gods, whereby the wander
err is sooner or later brought again to
Rome. The center seeking force which
once drew all the world to Rome's feet
is not yet quite spent In Rienzi's day
'hero were not 30, souls, all told,
within the city. Things have changed
again since that time, and there has
probably never been q time when so
many people Of all nations have been at
least once in their lives within Rome's
walls. Marion Crawford in Century

A FASHIONABLE RUsE.
That Things Are Not Always What They
Seem Evidenced In This Case.

That Things Are Not Always What They
Seem Evidenced In This Case.
The season Of wei lgs taxes the in
genuity no less than the purses OF fash
ionable devotees The receptions to
which many of the so called upper crust
resort to discharge social obligations are
almost incredible to old fogies not in
the swim. 1t has long been the accepted
custom Of brides who receive many du-
plicate presents to exchange the same at
the stores where they were purchased.
When the articles have not been marked
or defaced in any manner merchants, as
rule, are very willing to make salts
factory exchanges.
A volume might be written on the
revelations that this custom has often
brought about. 1t has been the unguessed
cause of moro than one social sensation.
Less than a year ago fashionable bride
of Gotham received gorgeously snowy
gift in repousse silver from an old school
girl friend, daughter Of a multimillion-
aire. The present was displayed in
beautiful box bearing the stamp OF
famous house, and attracted unusual at
tention from the guests. Several months
after the wedding the bride, in an un-
lucky moment, took this apparently
gorgeous gift, together with others, to
exchange for articles for which she had
more immediate need.
When the selections she made were
delivered at her residence she was sur
prised to find the repousse silver A
note from the firm stated that the silver
had not been purchased at their store.
1t was plated goods They added, how
ever, that they had detected the trace
mark of q firm in the Bowery. If mad
am desired, they would furnish the adj
dress A visit to the Bowery jeweler
confirmed this assertion, and the indig-
pant bride bided her time. In short
time the giver of the spurious silver
was welded. The most striking gift she
received was a familiar box, in which
reposed the unlucky piece Of repousse
silver Ii bore no name 1t was not ex-
hibited. Nocomment was ever made by
either party. To all outward appear
ance the social intimacy is unruffied.-
