Montana Mine Owners Said to
Have Decided to Reduce
Wages.

LEADvILLE, Colo. Nov. 2l.-The
most important move yet made by the
striking miners is announced on what
is considered reliable authority. The
etatement that the governor has decid-
ed to take summary measures TO sup
press further violence here and to bring
the strike to an end has, it is said,
caused the officers Of the union, with
the backing Of the Western Federation
of Miners, to decide to play trump
card which they think will force the
mine managers to come to their terms
under pressure from the managers of
mines in other districts of the state.
Tie Up Al, tn. Mines.
The union has sent emissaries to all
other unions in the state to nrge them
to inaugurate "a sympathetic strike, thus
tying up all the mines i'll the state.
Cripple Creek and Telluride are to take
the initiative and the other unions are
to follow rapidly.
In this connection it is stated upon
authority that the mine managers OF
Montana have decided upon making a
reduction i'll wages of 80 cents day
very soon and this is expected to precip'
itate strike by the largest miners
unions in the country The Montana
unions have been contributing literally
in aid of the Leadville strikers, but
trouble being imminent in their camp
it is believed they will hereafter rneet
to keep all their money at home.

= That something had happened quite
aside in it's effects from relative pro-
duction was evident; but the people
did not find out what il was until late
10 1876. At the time the demonetiza.
ton act was passed the ratio was still
1856 to /, and one Of the reasons
given for the act of 1873 was that the
silver dollar was worth OBJ in gold.
Yet before the close of that year, and
before il was known that there was to
be any great increase in the product
of silver, it's relative value ran down
till il was below that Of gold. Gan
any one doubt the causei Surely not,
If he observes the additional fact that
the relative decline OF silver continued
despite the greater value production
Of gold, and that in 1882, ten years
after demonstration, was actually the
first year since 1849 in which the
worlds production OF silver exceeded
that OF gold. What 100 years OF con-
tinuous and often enormous relative
overproduction OF silver had not done,
10 years of demonstration had &C.
complished, and that while the rela-
tive supply Of gold was still the
greater Is it impossible to miss the
real cause? Ia conclusion he un'
gentlemanly scored the Democratic
nominee for vice-president, and
praised the Populist nominee, Mr..
Watson, who is Numerically opposed
to him on every ISSUE And whyi
Two years ago he thought the Demo
Gratis following Overmeyer were all
right, because they were hindrance
to the election OF the Populist nomi'
nee for governor Today it's the
middle of. the.road man that's o, K,
because he is helping to save the state
for Mckinley. However, we, as
Democrats and Populists, see the
trap our Republican friends have set,
and all their efforts at creating dis
sensions among our forces will termi-
nate in naught. We know they are
desperate in the face Of defeat, but
campaign lies and reports, emanating
from themselves, will have no weight
with the people.

LOGAN.

W. II. Haynes, living in Rocks
county, but whose trading point is
Logan, met with serious accident a
few days since. He was riding home
ward when his team became fright
ened and the lines breaking he lost
control. He was thrown out and his
leg broken above and below the knee.
He was removed to the house of w.
X. Lappin, near by, and medical as
sistsnce at once secured. He ls slow
ly recovering from his injuries. His
daughter, who was with him In the
buggy, was also thrown out, but moi
seriously injured,
The Phillips County Sunday School
Association convened in the M. E.
Church Wednesday evening, Oct. Ia,
according to announcement and lis
teued to an address on temperance by
Rev. u, L. Rarrick of Phillipsburg.
Rev. Rsrrick is thoroughly western
in manner, though by no means un-
interesting as speaker. His ADDRESS
abounded in incidents of frontier life
in this section, with which he is "a
miliar, and kept his audience in the
best of humor. Though somewhat
crude IN subject matter, the address
was we'll received and may have been
more effective than a more polished
effort. Thursday morning at 8 q. m.
the exercises proper commenced
Delegates had arrived In considerable
numbers and we're cordially welcomed.
The program, one Of the best ever
rendered in Logan, embraced wide
range Of subjects pertaining to the
different departments Of s. 8. work
and was we'll arranged for Consecu-
tiveness Of thought. The various
topics were exhsustively elaborated,
their discussion, both in essay and
elucidstion, being Of pronounced
ability. In fact, the work Of the con-
vention throughout bore striking re-
semblance to a mosaic structure,
where each part contributed to a har-
monious blending. Phillips county
may we'll congratulate itself on its
s. s. workdrs. John H. EDgle, gen.
eral state secretary, was present. He
made a favorable impression and was
cordially received. Succeeding ]. +
Drake, q veteran in the cause, and
having but recently entered upon his
duties, he has developed qualities
both business and executive, which
will undoubtedly render him an eff
Gent and acceptable Official. Th'
church was neatly decorated, thu
music we'll rendered, the weather I'M
surpassed and the good people o
Logan strove to render comfortable

Those in charge are deserving of
