GOLD AND SILVER DOLLARS.
Secretary Carlisle Replies to an In
quiry of Senator Faulkner.

Secretary Carlisle Replies to an In
quiry of Senator Faulkner.
Secretary Carlisle was lately addressed
by Senator Faulkner. chairman of the dem
ocratic congressional committee, regarding
the redemption of silver dollars by the
Treasury Department in gold. MIR. Faux
ner wanted to know whether 1t was true
that silver has been redeemed in gold to
maintain the parity of the metals. Mr..
Carlisle replied as follows: So far as
have been able to ascertain neither the
Treasury Department nor any subtreasury
has ever been called upon to redeem silver
dollars in gold, and no such dollars have
been in fact redeemed in gold. At the sub
treasury in San Francisco it often happens
that silver dollars are paid out in exchange
for gold dollars, and gold is paid out in ex
chan sc for silver dollars in small amounts.
but this simply occurs in the ordinary
transaction of the business at thet place,
and for the purpose of accommodating the
public with money of small denominations
when needed, and for securing for the sub
treasury money of small denominations
v hen needed. 1t Is not in any sense of the
term a redemption of the silver dollars in
gold, or of the gold in silver. The result of
ell these transactions at that subtreasury
is that the government gains much more
gold than it loses.

Union Of Carriage and Wagon Makers. The
subject of uniting with the International
eral months end was brought to the atteu-
ton of the local body because Of the diff
Guilty experienced by some Of the members
when looking for work away from Wash
ington.
1t was stated that the local assembly will
continue to be affiliated with the knights
OF Labor of America, although the Inter
rational Carriage and Wagon Makers
Union is allied with the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
A prominent member of the American
Federation Of Labor said today that 1T
would be we'll nigh, If OF entirely, impos-
Assembly of Washington to carry out their
expressed wish to unite with the Interna
tfopal Carriage and Wagon Makers Union
and still remain as a member of the
Federation Of Labor expressly prohibits any
union affiliated with it to also have men,
hership IN the Knights Of Labor. =.
Continuing, the labor leader mentioned
Union would take speedy opportunity to
inform both the International Carriage and
Wagon Makers Union and the American
Federation of Labor of what was trans
piring here relative to the proposed future
course Of the local assembly Of carriage and
wagon makers, as well as all the facts in
the case, and that as such action, If al
lowed to be carried into effect, would be
with the hare" the Central Labor Union
would, he believed, do oil in their power to
prevent the scheme from being carried into
effect.
The Granite Cutters.
The Granite Cutters at their meeting last
evening made final arrangements for the
Labor day parade. Mr.. George F. Smith
was elected marshal. 1t was announced

DEsPAIRED OF MARRIAGE.
So the Young Couple Decided to End
Their Lives.


The mystery of the two dead bodies found
Saturday at the National Hotel at Leaven-
worth, Kan, was cleared away when rela-
tives went to Leavenworth to care for the
young girl and to take away the dead body
of the man with whom she sought to die.
The girl is still alive, but has not regained
consciousness and cannot live.
The story revealed is one Of love, poverty
and the seeking of death to overcome
troubles that were by no means serious.
John Harting, the dead man, was but
twenty years old. the son Of farmer who
lives at Connor Station. Mary Bush, barely
nineteen years old, and quite pretty, is the
daughter of a poor section hand who works
on the Missouri Pacific railroad at Pom
eroy. The country youth and maiden had
met and loved, but when they proposed
marriage the girls father objected. Young
Harting was without means. From devel-
opments, it is evident that the young low
ers discussed their poverty, the parental
opposition to their marriage, and what
seemed to them their dark prospects, until
death seemed preferable to life
Their Journey to Leavenworth Friday fol-
lowed and the tragedy which will undoubt-
edly result in the death of both was the re-
suit.

Why the Employees Arc Organizin M
for Sound Money.


for Sound Money.
From the Philadelphia Press.
BY June, 1894, a free trade tariff agita-
ton had cost 81. 994 men on American rail-
roads their places. The number of men
employed on railroads dropped from S73,-
Coz in 1893 to 779.6OS in 1894. These whole
sale dismissals left a population Of $4,000
without regular support.
"Poors Manual advance sheets of
which are published elsewhere, shows that
in 1895 the railroads earned no more than
in 1888. 1t is safe to say they are employ
ing no more men. This army Of 93.094 I'M
employed railroad men are still out of
work, and they and their families. 375 600
in all. are still living on odd jobs.
This is hard. 1t is nothing to what free
silver would bring. Railroad bonds take
$243, OOO.OOO in interest yearly. A large
share of this is paid on gold bonds. The
Pennsylvania has 500, yOO.OUO of such bonds.
Most railroads in this state and New York
issue them. All the new reorganizations.
Southern. Atchison. Reading, ETC., were on
a gold bond basis. Under free silver 1t will
take 81 of silver to pay 81 of interest on
these bonds. The railroads must raise this
somewhere, and every dollar will come out
of operating expenses. They will be cut to
the bone, and another 100000 of railroad
men will be out of job.
This is not ALL The wages of railroad
men viii not rise. Silver has fallen one
half in value in the last ten years in Mex
leo. The companies are paying brakemen,
engineers, conductors and station agents
the same i'll dollars as then. The like
will come here. But the Mexican dollars
buy only half as much in clothing, boots,
furniture, carpets. sugar. coffee and gro
ceres they once did. If man lives as
u Mexican peon does, barefoot and on a
little cornmeal and peppers, his dollars will
go as far as ever. If he wants to live like
an American. they go half as far Rail-
road wages have not risen as the value of
the Mexican dollar fell.
All intelligent railroad men know this
The ordinary railroad bondholders stake
in the gold standard is large one-except
those who held gold bonds-they are safe.
But it isn't a circumstance to the railroad
mans. Railroad capital is interested in net
earnings $323,OOO,OO0 The railroad mans
stake is in operating expenses. sI7O.OOO.O OU--
all in the end labor. The railroad man has
no gold clause in his pay roll. Bring in
free silver. and he loses half this sum, or
what is the same thing, its purchasing
power will drop one-half.
The Chicago Railway Age says that rail-
road men are organizing Mckinley gold
standard clubs all over the west. We are
not surprised.
