time to consider for ones self what a
sound dollar really was. II such men
advocated sound money, he thought he
could get along without them.
Gold, silver and paper" he said, lis
not money, only when made SO by the
government Money is manufactured
commodity, and derives its value through
the inimitable laws of supply and demand.
The standard of gold and silver metal is
fixed by the governments which coin it
and its ratio is fixed by its production"
Mr. Curry, in beginning his speech, said
he was not aware when he came to the
hall that he was to be a party to q joint
debate.
Gold" he said, was the survival of
the fittest OF metals that had been used
by nearly every nation in the world. it
was selected because OF its general quail
ties Gold and silver have been used as
money from the earliest days of history.
THE gold and silver question is not a
question concerning its use Tor money, but
the question is upon what proportion OF
weight is the one to the other.
mo party is advocating either gold Or
silver monometaiism. and 1 am not. 1t
fronts US, and the questions involved are
these: Shall the United States open its
mints to silver coinage, without limit and
without charge?
Gold is the standard OF payment IN all
international commerce. and is rated as
simply commercial product.
lit must be remembered. too. that gold
is the legal standard OF payment for public
and private debts in commercial nations,
including the United States. Not that
silver has been demonetized in any of
them for it has not. 1t is still coined and
used, but in a subsidiary capacity and with
limited legal function
When Mr.. Curry had concluded Mr.
Phelps again stepped to the platform and
after u short argument in favor OF silver
the questions began to come in. Three or
four in the audience would call ont at once
and so boisterous did the meeting become
that several thought it was time to get
out and they did.
On the whole the meeting was a good
natured one and in spite Of the excite
ment winch prevailed everybody laughed
and declared it as good as a circus.

arabs, sought the shelter OF the Municipal
Lodging House. Superintendent Cutler
took him under his protection.
Sammy spent Wednesday in looking for
a place, but found no opening. superin-
tendent Cutler secured job for the little
boy and Sammy was preparing to enter
his duties when Mr.. Martin came to town.
He was glad TO find his boy. He said
that Sam had run away without other
cause than that he desired to earn his
own living and learn the drug trade.
Sammy was some what disappointed, though
not unpleased, to see the father.
Mr.. Martin is a Waterman, and when
he left the city with Sammy it was to

TYPOS WILL mot PARADE
Columbia Union Decides the
Labor Day Question.
SPECIAL MEETING WAS HELD
Excelsior Assembly Enjoys Debate
on the Financial QuestiOn-LOcal
Labor Leaders Discuss the Street
Railway blacklist Said to Have
Been Devised in New York.

I At special meeting of Columbia Typo
graphical Union. No. 101, held last even
ing at the Temple on G street, that or
the Labor Day paraie.
1t was generally understood by the
members Of the onion that the action of
that body at its last meeting, when a
motion to the effect that the organiza-
ton should participate in the parade on
Labor Day was tabled, had finally dis
posed of the matter, but in this conclusion
they were mistaken. For, while there
was u decided majority opposed to taking
part in the parade, still there was u large
number of the members very anxious to
participate in the celebration OF Labor
Day in this way.
SHOULD SHOW ITS STRENGTH.
The desire. it is stated, was not prompted
merely by the pleasure anticipated. but
because they thought it only right that
the union should take part in the cele-
bration ceremonies inaugurated by the
central body with which it is affiliated,
the Central Labor Union.
According TO the constitution of the
union, the president, at the request OF
twenty-five members. must call special
meeting to consider any question stated
by the signers.s a citing on this, Messrs. j.

parade on Labor Day.
RESOLUTION TABLED.
The meeting was called and it is said to
have been the largest held by the union
for a long time. President kehoe was in
the chair, and as no other business could
be entertained the subject of the para.S
was brought up at once in the form OF the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That this union take part
in the Labor Day parade,
Resolved, That a committee Of five
be appointed to act in conjunction with the
Labor Day conference TO make all necessary
arrangements for said parade"
All discussion of the subject was prac-
ticalIy cut off by n motion to table the
resolution and asking for a polling of the
members. The vote, which was taken by
tellers, showed that the resolution was
