The BARRIERS Trouble.

TO THE TRADES ASSEMBLY AND
ALL UNION MEN OF DULUTH, MIMI,
GREETING. LOCAL UNION No. 81:
J.B. [. u. of A. of your city ia at
present engaged in fight against
two shops which violated the rules
of Local Union No. 81 regarding
prices.
A boycott against these shops
has been declared and is sustained
by the international union.
The union men of Duluth have
been asked to support our members
in the fight against these shops but
have in many cases refused to do
so, declaring that the local union
had no right to dictate what man
should charge for his work.
1t seems ridiculous that any union
man should take such a stand, but
as it is true, I, as the International
president of the l. B. i. Of A., here
by appeal to all union men of Du-
luth to do their duty and support
our members in their fight against
the shops in question.
The fact alone that the shop cards
have been removed from these
shops should be sufficient for any
good union man to shun them.
It is not for us as BARRIERS TO ques-
ton the right and Justice of any
other union to declare boycott on
any of their places of employment
The fact that such has been done.
by them as a union must be enough
to command our support.
The same applies to this case.
It is not for any union man in
Duluth to question the right of the
BARRIERS union to declare boycott
against the shops in question, es-
pecially when sustained by the In
ternatiOnal officers.
Our trade is different from most
others. It is one of the cardinal
principles of our organization to
keep up prices for our work, as that
is the only way to preserve our
wages. Let the prices be reduced
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-08-15
and reduction of wages must fol-

and a reduction of wages must fol-
low.
To sustain the responsibility of
our craft, to enable us to make liv-
ing wages we must hold our prices
at standard which will enable us
to do so.
l most sincerely hope that every
union man in your city and labor
organizations as bodies will realize
that it is their duty to support our
local union in their fight for right
and justice. Fraternally,
H. P. MILLER, President

A Thought on Honey.

on a gold piece never enhances it's
value. 1t is always dollar, like
every other dollar, neither more
nor less. TO get the piece of gold
it is printed on, men might pay ten
dollars or a hundred dollars. 1t is
not the money stamp they must pay
for but the metal, for they would
pay the same for the metal it there
we're no stamp on it. AS curiosity
for rare coinage, men pay tive dol
lars for the dollar gold Piece-hve
times the present value OF the
metal. This is for the combination
of stamp and metal, the same as is
true in the price Of silver dollar of
mintage 18O4-$5OO. But where the
whole gold coinage of a nation rises
above other money, it is not the
money that rises but the metal on
which the money stamp is printed
or impressed. Gold money never
advances over any other money, no
matter the material on which
stamped, if the other money is by
law endowed with the same legal
power, but the gold itself might,
and easily could, be forced by a
corner to many times it's face or
money value. If set of men can
get laws passed compelling people
to pay taxes in gold only (as custom
duties and interest on public debt),
be it stamped or unstamped, then
by cornering the gold they can
compel people to pay them fancy
price for the gold, just as they do on
corner on wheat. If people were
required in the same way to pay
silver only, it could be forced up to
as great premium over gold.
Suppose the banking houses of
Rothschilds should get and hold
all the available gold in the world.
and then demand interest on the
United States bonds in gold, how
could the government meet the OBJ
legation? It simply could not
do it. The government might
have plenty of other kinds
of money, but that would
not do. ROthschilds could force
the government to buy it's gold
with more bonds and discount the
bonds one half. AS soon as the
government got the gold it would
have to hand it right back for the
demanded interest, and at the next
interest day the same process could
be repeated until the nations debt
would be greater than all the prop
erty in the nation. To lesser de-
gree this policy is being carried
ont, using the gold obligations of
all nations and great corporations
hence the desire Of a gold stand
ard and the destroying Of the rali-
ditY mot use) of all other kinds of
money. A gold standard will bene-
fit few thousand families of the
world untold millions every year,
which the labor of this and other
lands must pay, for you can readily
see that if there were no working
people in this country there would
be neither gold nor other forms of
wealth to pay interest or principal
of anV bonds The nOn-nrOduC1rO

Transportation by water is n right

The legislators who do the most to
provide means for improving the raods

There is nothing chimerical about

the rest of a ntilliner's equipment, ar
ranged herself in a tasteful costume

How . Pear Tree Was saved.

Mr.. Edward Wilson informs the
editor of the Eutavv (Aln.) Mirror that
he successfully cured n pear tree of
blight in the following manner. He
first cut away the diseased part, then
bored dozen or so of holes with a
small bit, through the bark and into tho
sap wood. He then put a dose of
calonlel-say five to ten grains--in
each hole. Plugged tile holes up will,
q wcll-titting cedar peg, cut it off
even with the bark. The tree soon
covered this over by it's natural proc
css, and the tree is now heavily
loaded with fruit and il very thrif&y

CANADIAN STATESMEN.

low They Act While Attending Their
Duties In Parliament.
1t is a mistake to think that the act
which led to the confederation of the
various provinces in 1867 has attained
no higher meaning in the life of the
Canadian people than that of n consti-
tutional union. It carries with it q
meaning of far deeper import union
of hearts, whose offspring is oneness
of patriotic aim and purpose. OF
course it would be idle to say that the
Canadian people are a unit upon all
questions of vital interest to the life
and growth of the dominion. The geo.
graphical interests of Canada are 50
at times some friction and clashing of
provincial needs and ambitions. This
is the case at Washington; this is the
case, too, in so small a confederation
as the cantons of Switzerland.
A stranger visiting the gallery of tho
Canadian house of commons is struck
with the dignity and decorum which
mark the proceedings and surround
even the warmest and keenest of de-
bates Parliamentary procedure being
rigidly adhered to, there is little room
for unseemly encounters, which usu-
ally grow out of uncalled-for person
alities in the heat of discussion.
Sometimes, however, when the house
has been sitting for hours, wearied
with the prolixities and incoherencies
of some member from way back
suddenly, us if through unity of des-
peration, the usual dignity of the
house is relaxed. and grave members
from such intellectual centers as Mon
treal and Toronto play the schoolboy
and outvie one another in ''shying''

and inoffensive members. OF the two

leach into the soil during the winter.
1t will also act MS mulch.
Now is good time to cut out all use

Handle the fruit intended for long
keeping as tenderly as possible, and NO
more than is strictly necessary. Pick
ing into bushel baskets will make the
handling easier.
One advantage in manuring the

manure will begin it's work, aud carly

Apples will endure a much lower

to hare possessed, among his many
other qualities, that of sarcasm. A good
story is told of a retort he made to the
late Lord Bramwell, who, meeting him
on his way back to his room to take off
his robes after reading prayers in the
house of lords, apologized for having
been absent from the ceremony. when

NO JOY IN LEADvlLLE.

Life There Has Grown Too Tame to Intsa.
est the Visitor.
There used to he a deal more variety
and life in Leadvi11e than there is now.
In it's early days every phase of human
nature was represented here, and if
there was any wickedness common to
any other section of the globe of which
this camp had no specimen some pub
lic-spirited bad man would import a
supply. It was a lively mining camp
in all that the term implies, and never
hid the light of it's wickedness under q
bushel. Nothing was hidden, neither
the saloons nor the gambling houses
nor the worst places. The man who
wanted to be bad need seek but lightly
for an opportunity. AS for the diver
tisement of an impromptu duel to the
death, that was so easily obtained as TO
quickly lose it's charm. Everybody car
ried ''gun," and, soon or late, every
body used it with a fellow-being for a
target.
Now this is largely changed. Lead
vile ia not yet prominent way ST alton
on the route to the better land, but ia
as peaceful as the average town of it's
size in or out of the mining region.
Men here are too busy to attend to the
affairs of their neighbours; there does
not seem to be an undue amount of
drinking, and business goes on about
as it does elsewhere. State street is
still here, and those who knew it in
other days may be interested in know
ing that it's sanitary condition from a
moral standpoint is still bad and need
ing fuInigation and disinfection. An
energetic and general conhagration
along that thoroughfare would result
in a publication of the moral and phys
ical atmosphere. Still, 1 contend that
Leadville is no worse than many other
towns, and by comparison with some
of them. and especially with it's former

water or gas pipes or to make connec-
tions of same with houses. In these
days of engineering, it seems to me that
a continuous vault should be built un-
der each street sufficiently large to ac~
commodate all these pipes and also a
passageway for workmen to get at
them. Manholes at proper distances
would permit ingress and egress. If
built by the city, yearly rental could he
charged which would be less expense to
gas and electric companies than the
constant tearing up and repairing of

upon the investment. And what good
streets we would have. Why not try
