in either case prompt action on
our part will be very essential.
If times get worse the strength
of our organizations will be
tried to their utmost capacity.
Already the pressure of the hard
times have seriously crippled us
except in the convictions that
we are right and the deternina-
ton to stand by our principles.
If the silver men win out there is
sure eventually to come better
times, ifnot an actual boom, and
in the accompanying prosperity
the necessity and Importance of
trade unions will be less empha-
sized, and there will be much less
chance to extend organizations.
In either case work done now in
bringing together the members
of unorganized crafts and the
strengthening of those only
partially organized, will in
trench our position for years to
come and do much to perpetuate
indefinitely the proud position
now conceded Duluth OF being
the most thoroughly organized
city in the union.

Congressman Henderson said
in his car barn speech: "When
you strike down the market of
the farmer you strike down the
market of Duluth" Just what
the LABOR WORLD repeatedly
has said. But who struck down
the market of the farmer? Our
surplus farm products have to
be sold abroad. The demone-
tization of silver has given our
foreign customers silver at
half price to exchange for the
wheat of India, raised on a sill
yer basis. This has cut in two
the price of the great staple of
the Northwest. Restore the
market of the farmers and you
will restore the market of Du-
luth. Restore silver and you
will double the price of wheat.
Restore silver to ST per ounce
and you will restore wheat to
ST per bushel. Restore 81
wheat and prosperity will re-
turn to Duluth. Only free
coinage can do either.

Of course in the New York
Central Labor union politics are
not allowed to be considered.
But the other day during the dis
cussion of Mark Hanna's labor
record, when some one mentioned
the name of Bryan, the delegates
broke out in storm of cheering
and it was fully five minutes be-
fore the chairman was able to
restore order. Oh, no, organ
nized labor isn't for Bryan!

The necessities of the present
situation demand greater actlv-
ity among labor organizations.
One of two things will follow
this election. Better times or
worse. There will be nothing

pecially if the gold men win. And

Been Reading Silver Snake.

Been Reading Silver Snake.
A victim for the foolkiller out
at Grafton, N. d., injected in a
speech the following:
1.-The only way government
can raise silver to $1.29 per
ounce is to pay that price for
every ounce that is offered for
sale. 1t can raise wheat to one
dollar bushel in the same way;
but the minute it fails or refuses
to pay that price for either the
market falls. What money will
the government use in payment
for this silver? Certainly not
silver. It would be just as reas-
enable to buy wheat at one dol
lar per bushel and pay for it with
wheat as to purchase silver and
pay for it in silver"
Does the government buy all
the gold that comes to the mint?
If so, what does it pay for it in
if not in gold? The government
has only to pay $1.29 for every
ounce of silver that is offered it
to make one ounce of silver
worth ST 30. And what kind
of dollars it pays out for the
silver cuts no figure whatever,
provided that such dollars are
given equal debt paying power
with any other dollar in circular
ton. The government can make
wheat worth ST. per bushel SIM
ply by making wheat legal ten:
der in the payment of debts at
the ratio of 1 bushel of wheat to
ST. of debt. It can make silver
bullion worth $1.29 per ounce
by making one ounce of silver
legal tender for $1.29 of debts.
It can make a stump-tai1ed yal-
Ter dog worth 81. 6212 simply by
making such dog legal tender for
that amount of debt. And in
neither of these cases would it be
necessary to pass the articles in
question through the mint. Its
the legal tender decree that gives
the value. The coinage is only
for convenience, and precau-
ton against fraud. 1t is the
action by which the metal being
coined has bestowed upon it the
benefits of the law. But the
benefits could be extended to 1n-
coined bullion simply by making
an ounce of such bullion legal
tender for the stipulated amount
of debt.

cheaper money, has more than
offset that reduction. Either
that or lower duties are making
Mexico the most prosperous
country in the new world.
Confidence vs.. Confidence.

Confluence vs.. commence.
Confidence is the great rock
on which our republican friends
would build the industrial su-
perstructure. Confidence means
faith. And faith even in more
departments of life than
finances, is said to be a power.
But there is faith and faith.
Faith in fakirs is not generally
profitable. Now our gold bug
friends want us to believe that
under all circumstances $780,
100000 in cash can pay $50, 0OO,-
100000 in debts. They call
themselves "business" men,
and that kind of blind belief
"business." That's "sound'
financiering. No doubt it is
great business for the chaps
who collect interest on the 80
per cent of confidence which in
the financial transaction of this
country takes the place of cash.
The LABOR WORLD, now strange
as it may seem, believes also in
confidence. It knows that there
isn't enough money, both gold
and silver combined to transact
ten per cent of the business of
this country, and not five per
cent, if times were prosperous
and labor all employed. But if
we have to do business on con-
fidence-faith, let us have the
very best there is. Let us make
use of the faith of the govern
ment-the whole people. Now,
in our school days we were
taught what were called axioms,
self-evident truths, to doubt
which was considered evidence
of insanity. One of these read:
1.-THE whole is greater than any
of it's parts" The government
is the whole people, the banks
and fnanciers only part. Then
the government is greater than
the banks, government credit
than bank credit, and fiat
money, "faith' money, legal
tenders, are better than bank
confidence or the promissory
notes that make up the 30 per
cent credit which supplies the
deficiency in cash. But, here
now, how silly! A gold bug
isn't supposed to pay any at
tention to such an old fOgy
thing as mathematics. The
whole government isn't any
where near as big as the bank

Of Ontario's area, estimated mt 600
900 square miles, 100, 600 square miles
are i'll an unknown region, only the
edges of which have been explored This
is the territory known as the Hinterland
of Ontario. 1t lies between Lakes Huron
and Superior to the south and tho Albany
river and James bay to the north. In
this vast area is the Height of Land,
which separates waters flowing to Hud-
son bay from the stfeams employing into
the st. Lawrence and the lakes North
of tho Height is what is called the Kud-
son bay slope, consisting of about so, 900
square miles. This slope may be describ-
ed as unknown land

hills, but is level plateau some 1900
or /, 800 feet above the sea. 1.-The scen-
cry" says surveyors report, Though
diversified by hundreds of rivers and
merable crags and hills of rock, is certain
ly lacking i'll that nobility and largeness
of view which only the presence of lofty
mountains can bestow." OF the rivers
flowing north from this slope the AL
bany is the most important, being about
475 miles long and navigable during the
season of high water for $50 miles. Of
the short slope south of the Height Of
Land, in which are situated the settle
ments of North Bay, Sturgeon Falls and
Sudberry, there is definite and general
knowledge, but the whole territory slop-
ing north remains unexplored.
The Hinterland is Ontario's reserve.
Much valuable timber in this region is
destroyed by fires that sweep south of
the watershed. Pine, spruce, tamarack,
poplar and cedar are varieties Of wood
existing i'll abundance south of the Hud-
son bay slope. Here, too, are valuable
minerals, but the treasures hidden in
the region north of tho plateau and the
resources of the high plane itself await
the searching of some intrepid explorer.
Meanwhile no adventurous spirit need
resign itself to obscure inactivity nor
ambitious traveller sigh because there are
not new countries to traverse. The Hill
terland will reward the eager discoverer

ARCHITECTURALGEM
cHIcAoo'S NEW PosToFFIcE WILL BE
A THING OF BEAUTY.

The Plans of Henry Irving Cobb Call For
an Imposing Structure That VIII BE an
Ornament to the Western Metropolis.
To Cost 100000.
Some time after the beginning of the
next century Chicago is to have new
postoffice building to take the place Of
the universally condemned structure
which is now being demolished. If the
new federal building is built according
to the plans which are soon to be sub
mitted to the authorities at Washing
ton, it will be one of which Chicago
will be proud for several generations to
come. Henry Ives Cobb, a Chicago
architect, who drew the designs for the
beautiful Fisheries building at the
Worlds fair and whose work is to be
seen in many cities OF the Union, is the
man who was chosen to draw the plans
for the new postoffice These plans have
not yet been elaborated, but the general
