Silver and Protection.

In the last issue we showed
that a premium on gold pro-
duced by free coinage of silver
would act as an additional pro-
tective tariff in enabling domes-
tic manufactures to compete
with foreign made goods.
urrepublican friends belittle all
a priori arguments as THEORIES"
We are able, however, from the
practical workings of a premium
on gold, to learn exactly what
it's effects are and to know that
our deductions were correct.
Mexico is on a silver basis; not
bimetallic, but single silver
standard. Cold is at a premium
of nearly 80 per cent. Says Pres

Federal Labor Union.

Organized labor has it's weak
nesses as well as it's strength.
And it's weakest point is the
great number of laboring men
still outside of labor organiza-
tons. The American Federation
from the necessities of the case
has been built up along craft
lines. Up to this time it could
not very we'll have been other
wise and so far as the larger
trades are concerned, the policy
has been very successful. But as
a result a great mass Of workers
have been left out because en-
ployed at labor requiring no
special training, or members of
trades in which there are not
men enough engaged in any one
town to support an organiza-
ton.
The key to the future situa-
ton will be in the hands of these
unclassifed workingmen. 1t is
On them that tyrannical employ
ers depend for assistance in their
conflicts with their union en-
ployes. It is from these men,
sometimes because they are un-
scrupulous, but more often be-
cause they are uninformed in
union matters, that non-union
men are found to take the place
of strikers. Very few of this
class are lacking in the intel1i-
gence or moralstamina necessary
to make good union men. They
have been ignored. We have
never extended to them the hand
of brotherhood about which we
love so we'll to boast. But many
of them are interested in union
principles, and are kept out of

will become the menace of this
whole movement. Brought into
our ranks, on our side, they will
make organized labor and it's
just demands irresistible. The
shorter work day will be OBJ
tanned almost for the asking.
The continual pressure towards
lower wages will be arrested, and
unreasonable and Oppressive en-
pl0yers, as against a just boy
colt, will become absolute help
less.
The knights oflabor were once
looked to by many good union
men as a means for bringing un-
classified labor in touch with the
organized trades. But the jea1-
ousies and sel6shness of would
be leaders on both sides made
harmony between the knights
and the federations impossible.
To those who have given the
matter much study the federal
labor union would seem to fill
all the requirements of the situa~
ton. But to be satisfactory it
must be so constituted as to adj
nit proper men of all industrial
occupations except crafts already
organized, and so arranged that
when there are in the federal
unions of the city a sufficient num-
Der of any one calling, say Is or
20,to mai1;tain separate organ
ization, such members shall at
once be brought together as a
trades union. Such arrangement
would make the federal unions
not onl y an influential school for
the development of union princi-
pies, but it would bring together
and concentrate the whole labor
sentiment OF the city. 1t would
bind the workingmen Of all con-
ditions together in a compact
and effective army before which
injustice would be compelled to
hide it's ugly head.

Hearst of the New York Journal
under date of Sept. 9, 1896:
"While our material interests have in-
creased steadily and beautifully for the
last twenty years, since the close of the
Indian mints and the repeal OF the Sher-
man law, so-called, in the United States,
the growth of Mexico's commercial and
industrial interests has been particularly
marked. THE CONSEQUENT AP-
PROBATION IN THE PRICE OF
GOLD AND THE INCREASE IN EX-
CHANGE BETWEEN MEXICO AND
THE GOLD STANDARD COUNTRIES
AT ONCE OPERATED TO REDUCE
IMPORTATIONS AND STIMULATE
HOME MANUFACTURES.
THE ADDED PR1CEOF EXCHANGE
WAS IN EFFECT AN ADDITION TO
THE TARIFF. THE IMPORTER AD-
DED TO THE ORIGINAL COST THE
DUTY AND COST OF EXCHANGE. Our
cotton and wooden mills already in oper-
alton were obliged to enlarge their
capacity and new ones were established.
The number of operatives necessarily
had to be greatly increased.
To show the falling off in the con-
sumption of foreign merchandise, it may
be said that the year prior to the in
crease of foreign exchange on silver our
customs collections at the ports of en-
try amounted to $22, 100000. The next
year they were $14.OOO,OOO. In the fiscal
year ending in 1890 our importations
exceeded $52,OOO,OOO. In the fiscal
year ending in 1895 they were slightly
in excess o1 $34, 100000. On the other
hand, our expectations increased. In
189O-91 they amounted to $63, 900. 1000
and in 1894-95 to $9O,OOO,OOO. There
was nothing in the nature ola commercial
panic consequent upon the sharp ad-
vance in silver exchange.
Cur merchants are conservative and
careful, and bank and business failures
are happily rare in Mexico under any
circumstances. AS to wages and the
condition of 1aboringmen, considering
the nature of work and classes of indus
try, they compare favorably with those
in other countries.
The demand for skilled labor has
grown with the great increase in the
number of mills and manufactures.
This deman in all branches of labor is
strong. The added exchange has not
impaired the value OF our dollar as ap-
piled to the purchase of articles of home
manufacture. Its buying power is un-
changed in this respect, and prices for
domestic merchandise and produce vary
only according to the supply and the de-
mand.
Heavy investments of foreign capital
in Mexican enterprises have been made
since the appreciation of gold elsewhere.
There is another point in view. The
foreign debt of the country is payable in
gold. The duties on imported merchan-
disc are collected in silver, or on that
basis. The high rates of exchange, to-

Heavy investments of foreign capital
in Mexican enterprises have been made
since the appreciation of gold elsewhere.
There is another point in view. The
foreign debt of the country is payable in
gold. The duties on imported merchan-
disc are collected in silver, or on that
basis. The high rates Of exchange, to-
gether with the decrease in our customs
collections before alluded to, have
caused considerable shrinkage in this
source of revenue.'
The last paragraphs proves
that the benefits are in spite of
an actual reduction in the tariff
duties, as measured in gold.
That is, that while duties meas
ured in gold have fallen from the
depreciation ofsilver, the premi-

ton of industry consequent upon

there is no way in which the trouble can be
healed. The feeling is exceptionally bitter
for the reason that the disappointed and dis
contented factions feel that u irrcparahlc in
justice was done by not making up the slate
from the candidates who made the fight for
the first three or six months and had the
strength to win if given a fair field. Meyers
was not a candidate until the Wednesday be-
fore the convention, and was brought into the
field by telegraph.
An influential Democrat says the party
cannot afford to elect the ticket. 1t would
simply mean that candidates must either be
of the eleventh-hour kind, or a kicker, as
p. J. Ferguson, of Lost Creek, was three
years ago.

Gated and are ready for immediate use. One
car will consist of draught, teams, chunks
and single workers, express and general
purpose horses the other will contain
readers, coachers, PAGERS and %trotters i'm

the pillow horse to the sulky %trotter. Every
one of them must and shall be sold for what
they will bring, to close them out.
The weather will have no bearing on this
sale, as it will take place rain or shine, 1t
will pay you to COM miles to this sale. Don't
forget the date and place, next Thursday, at
