Erie, Kan, Sept. 1O.-About 1000
people. mostly farmers, greeted Thorn
as e. Watson, who spoke here today.
The speaker said the work begun six
years ago had not yet been accomplish
ed: in stead the situation was worse.
The south and west then, he said, had
a written contract to agitate the tax
question, and he asked that the west
fulfill its contract and stand by the
south. The time for the death of the
popuhst party had not arrived, he said.
and continued: For Gods sake do
not desert the populist party now,
when the work has just begun"
Getting to his nomination for vice
president, Watson said. among other
things: Il am not seeking to be taken
on the democratic ticket. l am no po-
litical beggar, nor is my party. The
democrats and populists ought to unite.
The ticket ought to be the ST. Louis
ticket. Bryan a democrat, and Wat.
son a populist. Amt that right?
That's no surrender: it's a fair compro-
mise. Turn me down and you lose

nee for vice president must stay on the
ticket. and l say Watson is going to

coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to /.
That there is not enough money in cir
culation may be true. but If so, it is
because labor has not been employed.
1t is because we have been importing,
rather thar exporting. When it is as
serted that our per capita is not suf-
ficient it must not be forgotten that la
Dor itself is in no small share respon-
sible for this state of affairs, if. indeed
it be true or important II true. From
the city of Scranton alone the laboring
men last year sent $4,000 in gold or
its equivalent to foreign lands and
scarcely a dollar went to England.
They sent money to their friends in the
homes of the poor Of Europe. Every
dollar sen reduces the per capita cir
culation of III currency. But what Of
1t? So much per capita is a meaning
less term. The per capita circulation
is greater than 1t ever was in the Unit
ed States, but so long as it lies idle
through the lack of confidence, so long
as 1t is reduced each time a steamer
lands its cargo Of immigrants and
workmen. they have no share in it.
Money in circulation is what labor
looks to, and not the idle dollars which
do not circulate"
Passing to the Chicago strike he said
the lawless element of the city and not
the strikers rioted, and added:
1T vas a gratuitous act on the part
of the Chicago convention to endorse
the inactivity of the mayor of Chicago
and governor Of Illinois. but having
done SO its members should be remind
ed that honest labor in no way feels
complimented by such doubtful recog-
milton. Government by injunction
would eve be known in the United
States had the government by incom-
potency not preceded It,"
Mr.. Powderly then entered into a
lengthy analysis of free coinage Of sill
yer, declaring it would drive the gold
from the country. and enhance the val
lie Of silver at the expense of the peo-
pie.

LEADVILLE
1t is Believed That a Crisis in the
Strike is Approaching.

Leadville. Colo, Sept. lO.-There is
intense excitement in this city tonight
and the general belief is that the strike
situation is rapidly approaching a
crisis. Three workmen from the Coro-
nado mine were %viciously assaulted
and badly beaten. Their assailants all
had revolvers, and one shot was fred,
but fortunately no one was injured by
the bullet.
Three men had just left the Corona
do shaft at 6 O'Clock this evening.
Their names are Captain George Cur
tbs, c. l.. Greer and Frank Haseleidt,
all of them carpenters. The first two
mentioned came toward Harrison ave-
nue. by n street, while the last named
took another route toward his home.
Curtis and Greer, when they reached a
point near the South Park depot, were
halted by five armed men. They were
commanded to hold up their hands and
their captors promptly proceeded tc
search them for weapons.
Finding them with none they as.
saulted h two men viciously with
their guns. while the two unarmed vic
Tins warded off the blows as best they
could. The unequal combat lasted for
several minutes. both Greer and Cur
tbs receiving several ugly wounds about
the scalp.
Their assailants then fed. alarmed
evidently by the approach of some men
from the depot.
Curtis and Greer were both covered
with blood when they reached the office
Of the Coronado company and reported
their story. They were Joined shortly
afterward by Haseleidt, who had met
with an almost similar experience
within a block of the other occurrence.
Haseleidt is a German, about 6S years
old, and his head and arms were in a
pitiable condition. He had been met
by three men. who promptly assaulted
him. The German, although old, was
certainly very plucky and made a de-
termined fight. Blow after blow with
revolvers was rained on the old mans

MR. POWDERLY TALKS.
HE is OPPOSED TO THE VAGARIES
OF THE CHICAGO
PLATFORM.
An Immense Crowd of Workingmen
Listens to the Ex-Master Work
mar of the Knights Of Labor at
Cooper Union-An Able Address

New York, Sept. 1O.-A meet
ing was held in Cooper Union tonight
under the auspices of the campaign
committee Of the Mckinley league.
Torrance V. Powderly,- late master
workman of the Knights of Labor, wa
the chief speaker, followed by ex-Sen-
tt Warner Miller. The meeting was
planned for the wage earners and a
very large audience was present early
and the hall was crowded. Several
ryan men were present and gave loud
cheers for their candidate. The inter,
ruption was speedily stopped by the
police.
Powderly said the democratic party
went into power four years ~ pledg-
ed to free trade.
Income tax law was IN after con-
s%ideration; it was no part Of the demo-
cratic platform of 1892, and was only
thought of when 1t became manifest
to It's o%riginators that they had sawed
off the revenue limb on which they
had been sitting in their mad attempts
t o undo what their republican prede-
cessors had so we'll planned and so
faithfully executed. To make amends
for a blunder they would p%erpetuate a
crime, and the income law tax was nc
less han a crime. l may be charged
with opposing one of the cardinal prin-
ciples Of the Knights Of Labor, which
demanded that a graduated income tax
be levied. That section was adopted
by the knights Of Labor in opposition
to my earnest and emphatic protest"
Speaking Of agriculture he said:
Since 1873 farming in the United
States has undergone a radical and al
most total change. and causes other
than the demonstration OF silver have
combined his product"
Powderly then compared the work
possible to be lone with modern agri-
cultural implements with that under
old methods. and said:
rs it any wonder that the prices of
wheat, corn and other grains have fall
ell and does it not seem to the observ>
ing man that the agencies which have
pointed out have been far o potent
In leveling prices than the demoneti-
cation of silver? The farmer needs a
market and he should have a market
in which to sell at a fair and reasonable
price: unfortunately he has been
taught thai he should buy In q cheap
market and sell in a dear one. but If he
wishes for high prices for himself he
should interest himself in obtaining a
high price for Others"
Mr.. Powderly then told how improv-
ed machinery has displaced hand la
Dor in cities as well and called atten-
tion to the great influx of immigrants
who settle in the cities and work
cheaply. He said here protection was
needed. In taking up the money ques-
tion proper he said:
They tell us that we lack money.
that there is not enough In circulation
and the mints shall be started to coin
silver in unlimited quantities for the
good Of labor. but just how a man who
has no silver to coin is to be benefited
has not been made clear to us yet. and
believe 1t will do the country more
good to open our mines, mills and fac
tories to the unemployed men than to
open our mints to the unrestricted
