Fake Up the Real Issue of Greater Prosperity

| Take Up the Real Issue of Greater Prosperity.
| A.correspondent, who claims to be friend of THE
TINES writes that its financial edorals too pro-
nounced in favor of sound money, and that work.
ing people not sympathy with them Unfortunately
that is fact. There is difference of opinion among
wageearners the silver question that may do ncal-
cuabe injury. No one element of our great country
needs unanmity of action public questions much as
those who sell their labor and especially is this true OF
the pending financial issue In times of depression labor
is first to feel the shock of adversely and last to
from its bad effects Therefore, should be
slow to accept genuine reform the many theories OF
designing and they should also be first to
unite in overthrowing every attempt to put in force
and financial principles Free silver has
been rejected unsafe and exceedingly dangerous by all
the great commercial nations It has been pronounced
gonstc the welfare of the by nearly every
economic thinker and guided by these facts, if not by
their Judgment wageearners should support sound
money
In reference to the editorial utterances of THE
TIMES there is apology to be made Heretofore this
paper has fearessy espoused the of labor
times its financial detrinent, but it did from
vcton without regard to it's business welfare, and why
should it abandon labor in the hour of its peril?
Before the November election THE TIMES will have
demonstrated nearly every in the District
that free silver would bring them nothing but loss of
poyment distress, misery suffering Consequently it is
not question of increased subscription list tenn
porary gain in public favor that prompts these editorials
The advocacy of sound money against debased stand
ard the future prosperity of the masses, and
surely that is of greater Importance than the
expense of journalistic integrity For that THE
TIMES stands solidly for sound money staunch political
principles, and the welfare of labor Could this paper
have better greater incentive to call forth
its best efforts especially when the honor Of nation
at stake?
The statement that wages would increase in proper
tion to the of living under free silver adminstra
tion is absolutely Incorrect Land values sowest
rise times of imitation and wages next in order
Prices that most sensitive to deprecated money
barometer those of goods affected by foreign gold
markets Wheat, flour, tobacco cotton and wool
products leather and rubber goods iron and steel
factures and glass and crockery among the first
rise price Butter eggs meats and country produce,
that depend domestic demand for their consumption
do not advance rapidly But anything that is either
imported exported climbs quickly to the top of the
debased money ladder As illustration of the compar
atve value of labor in times of imitation when there is
gold level consult the following table, which gives both
gold and deprecated currency wages of few of
leading trades Note that the gold wages of 1895 are
fully as high as those of any previous year.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The Decision of President Cleveland
stiII in Doubt.

Washington, May 25.-Presldent Cleve-
land had a conference to-day with Gen.
Craighill. chief of engineers. about the
river and harbor bill, which was received
at the white house Saturday. Secretary
Lamont Is absent from Washington, but
the President probably already knows his
Views with regard TO the measure. 1t Is
evident that the President intends to lose
no time in deciding what shall be done
with the BILL and rumor has II that he has
already made up his mind II Is reported on
excellent authority that the President has
already expressed an intention to veto
the measure, and the trend Of opinion as
10 his views is in that direction. 1t Is
recalled that Cleveland vetoed one river
and harbor bill, and those who have rea-
son to believe that the one now in his
hands Will share a like fate, point to the
fact as part corroboration Of his views.
Whether or not he will veto It, one thing
seems certain, namely, that the President
Will not sign the act. II he decides to let
it go on the statute books. he will allow
1t TO become law without his signature.

BURKE's bogus bonds.
A Man who Sold Them Must Reim-
burse The Buyera.

Washington, May 25-An issue growing
out of the Illegal reissue Of state bonds
by A. E. Burke formerly treasurer Of
Louisiana, was settled by the supreme
court Of the United States to-day by JUS
tice White delivering the opinion.
Walter Richards. in February 1889 sold
to Victor and Adolph Meyer thirteen OF
these reissue bonds, and, upon the dis
cOvery that they were Illegally issued
the Meyers brought suit to recover from
Richards the amount paid for them with
interest, amounting to 1888. The circuit
court Of the eastern district Of Louisiana
gave judgment for Richards, on the
ground that he could not be held liable
for Burkes misdoings That Judgment
was reversed by the supreme court Of the
United States, Justice White announcing
that the transaction was governed by the
law Of Louisiana, which held the seller
to a warranty Of the bonds. The case
was remanded, with instructions to the
court below to give the Meyers Judgment
for the amount Of their claim.
