tion for the purpose Of demanding Of the
smelters that they receive payment for
their product either in gold coin or gold
bullion. In few days the owners Of
the principal gold mines will meet at
Victor TO perfect an organization and
sign contracts. Fifteen mine owners
representing several Of the largest gold
mines in this state, with an annual pro-
duction OF 100000, are heading the
movement. The gold will be used TO
pay off employees, etc. and will thus go
into circulation, instead OF into the
hands Of Eastern bankers"
The only obstacle to this plan would
seem to come from tho stock companies
owned and controlled by Eastern inves-
tors. The extent TO which they will fig
ure in the matter cannot be determined
until after the meeting here. Notwith-
standing the gold production Of this dis
tric, less of the coined metal is in circu-
latiOn here than in many Eastern farm
ing communities. Almost the total out
put has been paid for, and the gold sent
to the money centers. 1t is the first
mining camp in the world in which this
state Of affairs has existed. The gold is
not TO be held for premium under the
plan eotemplated by the Eaine owners,
but will be diverted from the New York
money market.

The New York Journal OF the 9Th
inst. has d Chicago dispatch, the bur
den Of which is that the management
Of the Rock Island railroad, having
heard that there was a strong silver
sentiment among its employees, Sup't
Hubbell, Of the Chicago terminal, was
instructed 10 give the men an object
lesson without delay. He accordingly
notified sixty. six trackmen employed
on his division that their services were
no longer needed, and in their places he
employed Italians under a padrone.
The men discharged received sl-25 to
sl.Jo per day, while the padrone re-
ceives 20 cents per day for each of his
men. and allows them 80 cents Of this
sum.
One Of the biggest shippers Of freight
in this city says that until that dispatch
shall be denied officially he will not
permit pound OF his freight from this
end ot the line to pass over the Rock
Island.
The dispatch further says that the
Rock Island has on its payroll twelve
campaign orators. who are speaking
Tor Mckinley, and advising the men to
vote the Republican ticket il they want
to be protected from foreign manufact-
urers.
The dispatch further tells about the
call Of the men 20 big freight house
on the Pan handle railroad, and there,
all prepared for them, was the consti;u-
ton and bylaws OF a Mckinley club,
bearing the imprint of the Railway Age.
One OF the subordinate officers OF the
company announced that all who were
willing TO sign the constitution would
be carried on the company's payroll
until after election, and in addition,
would be given free ride 10 Canton
and see and talk with the man they had
endorsed. Four OF the men declined
to sign. and they were promptly dis
charged. That is the kind Of work that
makes laborers generally enthusiastic
for Mr.. Mckinley.-SaltL Lake Tribune.
