GIGANTIC STRIKE.
One May be Precipftated EARLY
Next Week.

NEW YORK, June 30.-The brotherhood of
tailors and the finishers, basters, cutters and
trimmers of the several local unions in afilia-
ton with the United Garment Workers Of
America are planning a strike which may
involve thousands of workers. The claim Is
made that the contractors have made As
per cent reduction in the wage scale besides
compelling men and women to work longer
hours. well attended meeting Of the work
ingmen interested in the clothing trade was
held tonight Speeches advocating a strike
were loudly applauded. A special committee
was appointed to draft form of agreement
and the general scope of the, campaign will
be submitted to a joint meeting of the
brotherhood to be held next Saturday. From
this it is inferred that $1,000 men may re-
ceive orders to quit work the first Of next
week.

Why Not q YardStick?

Mr.. Bryan processes to believe that be-
cause the United States whipped Eng
land in two wars it can therefore set up
a standard of value without regard to
England or the rest of the world. That
is Il very shallow conclusion. There are
some things that even the mightiest ma
ton on earth cannot do. 1t cannot suS-
pend the law of gravitatiOn. 1t cannot
make two and two five. 1t cannot main
tain an independent standard measure
of value.
If the United States. according to Mr..
Bryan, can set up a 03-cent dollar as the
standard dollar and make all the rest
of the world accept it as such, why cam
not it set up an 1S-inch yardStick
and make that pass as yard every
where? If it were simply a matter of
government fiat. that might do. Con-
gress could declare that eighteen inches
made yard just as appropriately as it
could declare that 53 cents make dollar.
1t would be just as easy for the LegiS-
lature at Albany to create an 1S-inch
yardstick and make it the standard yard
stick for the state of New York as It
would be for the nation to declare that
a 53-cent dollar is the standard dollar
and must be accepted as such, regard,
less of other nations. If every state can
have its own varying yardstick regard
less of every other state, then the United
States can have its own 53-cent dollar
as a standard dollar, regardless of other
nations.-Syracuse On. W Post.

TELLER ON FALLING PRICES.
Some Things Which the Colorado Senator
Ought to Know.

"Think of it, shouts Senator Teller,
twenty years of constantly falling pri-
ces.' The men who can buy for $40
now Il suit of clothes that would nave
cost SO twenty years ago think of fall
ing prices with great satisfaction.
When Teller speaks of falling prices
he means silver. The price of silver has
fallen because more has been produced
than could be used. The United States
bought 100000 worth, and the more
they bought the more was offered and
the greater was the fall i'll prices. If
the United States had kept on buying
the price would have continued to fall.
The falling price of farm products has
a similar cause. All the silver coun-
South America, have been producing
wheat at silver prices for labor. Ma
chinery has reduced by one-half the cost.
of raising wheat, as it has of weaving
CLOTH But the main reason of the re-
duced price for wheat is that the sill
Yer countries can sell wheat in the
worlds markets at bottom prices
There has been fall of prices in the
railroad freights from % cents Il bushe
to & cents a bushel for wheat from Chi
cagO to New York. Does Teller complain
of that?
There has been fall of prices in every
article of iron and steel manufacture.
Twenty years ago Bessemer steel rails
cost 500 ton. Now they are $50 ton.
Other metal products are proportionately
lower in prices. Does Teller complain of
that?
The silver mine owner. with silver at
66 cents an ounce, can buy more of every
thing with that amount than he could
twenty years ago for twice the amount.
Does Teller complain of that?
The farmer. with wheat at so cents
bushel. can buy more with the proceeds
of his crop than he could have bought
with the proceeds of his crop twenty
years ago. when wheat was so cents or
81 bushel. Does Teller complain of
that?
The wages of labor alone have not
followed the rule of falling prices. Labor
is better paid in gold prices today than it
was IN deprecated greenback prices TWEEN
ty years ago. What does Teller say to
that?
FINALLY, does not Teller know that
with debaSed money there would be a
constant rise in prices with no correspond
ing rise i'll the wages of labor or the prof
its of business! If he does not know it
he ought to.

WAITING FOR THE NEWS.
Mills will Open When Word Comes of
McKinley's Election

Mills in many parts of the country
are ready to open as soon as the word
comes that William Mckinley has been
elected President. They have orders to
fill, many of them, subject to the CON
tingency of McKinley's election. Mer-
chants and others appreciate that the
election of Mckinley and a Republican
Congress Will open up new era of
prosperity. His election will restore
confidence, for it will mean a return to
the policy of protection, that the honesty
of the money of the nation is to be pre-
served, that there is to be no free coin
age of silver. no regulation of indebted
ness, no panic, no abridgement of the
federal power to preserve oruer no pack-
ing of the Supreme court, but that there
is to be an administration pledged to
preserve the honor and dignity and cred
it of the nation. This is what the cleo
ton of Mckinley means. One thing
must be remembered the greater the vic
tory for Mckinley, sound money and
protection, the greater the confidence
and consequently the better the bust
ness. Therefore, though one may be
convinced that the Republican party is
to be victorious and the machinery of
the government is TO be run by compe-
tent hands, there must be no lessening
of the effort for that victory, no calm
contentment in its assurance. That
would be criminal. 1t is duty to work
constantly for the election of William
McKinley.-Springfeld (Mass.) Union.

$4,000 should now be paid $4,000, be-
cause at the end of twenty years he
could buy 1000 pairs of shoes instead of
1000 pairs of shoes for the money origi-
nally lent, let us see how such a trans
action would end. The creditor NAV pos
sibly have been waiting for his money
in order to invest it when he obtained it
in the purchase of a piece of land. Twen-
ty years ago there was an opportunity to
obtain the house and land of a satisfac-
tory character for $4,000: but. in the
majority of instances, to purchase the
same house now, or one of an equally
satisfactory character. it would be necos-
sary to pay not $4,000. but So 900. or
even 10000; in other words. real estate,
instead of contracting in value in the last
twenty years has constantly appreciated.
so that if the creditor is paid $4,000 in
gold he cannot use it i'll the purchase of
real estate i'll as satisfactory manner rs
he could at the time he first made the
loan. If the debtor were to pay him
$1,000 instead of $4,000, it would he
on the basis of land values nothing less
than downright robbery.
Or, suppose. having grown old. the
creditor wishes 10 live on the income Of
his $4,000. Twenty years ago he could
have safely invested it and received for
its use 5000 Il year. He cannot now
safely invest his money so as to obtain
more than S4OO year. Is this Il rpa-
son WHY he SllOulu De pald SDODO rather
than $4,000? If he uses the prnciDaI
instead of the interest as a means of
paying his expenses, he finds that his
rent costs him more than it did twenty
years ago. the cook whom he hires. who
was content with $3.50 Il week twenty
years ago. now wants So; the chamber
maid demands 81 a week, when twenty
years ago she had SO. and so on through
all the list of domestic service. In these
various directions, instead of having
greaterpurchasingp power $4,000 has now
less purchasing power than it had
in 1876. Clearly, under such circum-
stances because, in consequence of i'm
provements in productive machinery and
enormous reductions in the cost of trans
pOrtation, the prices either of shoes or
wheat have been reduced, it does not
follow that there has been any real an
probation in the purchasing power of
money when one takes into account all
of the uses in the way of purchase that
are made of it.-BostOn Herald.

HAS MONEY APPRECIATED.
One of the Arguments Against the Gold
Standard Refuted.

An argument that has been made in
opposition to the gold standard of value
takes this shape: Suppose Il man en-
gagged in making boots and shoes Dor
rOWed twenty years ago SlO.OOO to car
ry on his business. At that time S1O,-
600 would purchase 1000 pairs of shoes.
During the past twenty years the manu-
facturer has been laying up money with
which to pay off his debt and has now
put aside the needed sum. But. before
paying it. he discovers that now the S1O,-
600 which he borrowed in, say, 1876, III
stead of buying only 2OOO pairs of shoes.
will buy 1000 pairs, and he says to HIM
self: rs it right that l should. by put
ting this sum into my creditors hands,
give him an opportunity, at my expense.
to purchase twice as much as he could
before? My creditor should be content
with what would be equivalent to the
original loan-that is. the equal of the
price of 2OOO pa IRIS of shoes. or SoOOO-
for the advance in the purchasing power
of money that has taken place must rep
resent an unwarrantable appreciation in
its exchanged bic value. due to 4 cOntrac-
ton in the quantity of available gold.'
The above, we say, is an example of
an argument that is frequently made,
and possesses some degree of plausi-
bility. AS matter of fact. there is
very little ground upon which to rest
such a plea. 1t is true that boots and
shoes have declined in value during the
last twenty years. 1t is somewhat diff
cult to say how much. because styles
have materially changed in the inter-
val. But, assuming that a change equiv
alent to what we have referred to above
has taken place, in what way has it
been brought about?
Those who know anything concerning
the boot and shoe business must be
aware that in the last twenty years
enormous improvements in production
have taken place, due to the introduce
ton of various kinds of machinery and
the better organization of workshops.
This has enormously reduced the cost of
has made itself evident in the market
price of shoes. But are those who pur-
chase shoes for their own or their fam
ily's use to continue to pay the old price
of So pair. when the shoes can be made
at half the price they could twenty years
ago? Even when sold at $3.50 a pair
the manufacturer makes a handsome
profit, while the operatives in the fac
tory earn considerably more per week
for their services than they did in 1876.
Under these circumstances are not the
consumers of boots and shoes to have
some benefit from the reduction? Yet
the assumption of those who make the
argument we stated at first is that all
the benefit should go to the manufacture
err and that the drop in the market
price of shoes is due not to improve
ments in machinery, administration and
the more effective utilization of labor,
but to a contraction in the currency.

ENGLAND'S "CLUTCHES."
A Foolish and Fallacious Representation
by the Democrats.


One of the favorite appeals of the adj
vocates for free and unlimited coinage
of silver is that made to arouse prejudice
against the British. The cry is made,
LET us WrPst our country from the
clutches of England" The impression
sought to be made is that Great Britain
dictates the gold standard for this coun-
try. OF course this is Il foolish and fall
laciOus representation, for it would be
to England's advantage to have the
United States run on silver basis.
The surest and most effective way to
Put this country in the clutches of Eng
land would be to adopt Bryan's policy
of the free and unlimited and indepen-
dent coinage of silver Such a policy
would put us upon the silver standard
basis of Mexico. which is literally in
the clutches of England. The Bank of
London and Mexico, the strongest finan-
cial institution in Mexico, located in
the city of Mexico, with a capital of
$14.OOO,OOO, is practically an English
bank. We are Informed that about 60
per cent. of its stock Is owned in Lon
don. This bank gets ~ to l. per cent.
for its loans. and pays its English stock
holders dividends ranging from % to
Al per cent per ann1m.
The English capitalist gets very
small interest on his gold dollar, but
through his Mexican hank he can have
his gold dollar changed into two Next
can dollars. and have these two dollars
loaned at not less than 10 per cent. in
terest, thus getting 20 per cent. interest
in Mexican money on his gold dollar,
on which he would have to take less
than or 3 per cent. in England. Mex
leo is truly in the clutches of England,
and if the United States were to adopt
the Mexican policy of free coinage Eng
land could use her gold to tremendous
advantage against our people and their
interests. Let us keep out of the
clutches of England by maintaining the
gold standard and having money as good
as England's. Let us not MeXicanze

preciated money stah misunderstanding

1t will be observed that. in the four
years from 1892 to 1896. there was an
apparent increase in the Democratic
vote of CT per cent. But it must be re-
membered that there was no fusion be-
tween Populists and Democrats in Ar
kansas in 1892. The POpulist vote fell
off. in four years. HIPS, or from 1919
to 90. Where did it go? 1t went to the
fusion candidate for governor in 1896.
Of the 81, ia votes cast for him. ID
O96 were Democratic and HIPS were
Populist. The purely Democratic vote
in 1896. instead of being 64.3 per cent.
was only 52.2 per cent. Of the total
vote-a loss, in four years, of "a per
cent.
On the other hand, the Republicans
gained 81 per cent. in four years. Their
gain in the last two years was Al per
cent.
The combined Democratic and PoDulist
vote in 1892 was 10 per cent, in 1894
1t was 49, per cent, and i'll 1896 1t
was only 74.2 per cent. of the total vote.
1t fell off 4 per cent. between 1891 and
1896
These figures demonstrate that the Ar
kansas election was in fact RepuD-
ican gain.
The vote on Congressman in the Unit
ed States in 1894 was as follows: Re-
publican. 5,453S23. or 40 per cent;
Democratic, 4.313997. or 1873 per cent;
Populist, 1,313,219, or Ill per cent.
The combined vote of the Democrats
and Populists was 81 per cent. of the
total vote cast by these three parties.
The ratio of Democratic loss and Re
publican gain in the state of Arkansas,
applied to the whole country, would give
the Republicans at least % per cent. in
November 1896, or popular majority
