How Manning Did 1t.

The New York World has a Wash
ington dispatch stating that during
Mr.. Cleveland's first administration a
similar raid was made on the Treas
ury by New York bankers to the one
which has recently been pressed and
that Mr.. Manning, then Secretary OF
the Treasury, came to New York,
gathered the gold jobbers around him
and addressed them as follows:
Gentlemen, the Treasury is willing
to furnish gold for any legitimate de.
mand, but il You attempt to draw up.
on the Treasury gold after to day as
you are now doing, for boarding or
speculation, / shall adopt an effective
remedy for the protection OF the Gov
ernment's reserve. We have a cash
balance of over s150,O00,OCO. Not one
OF You doubts for a moment the pur-
pose and ability Of the Government to
maintain specie payments. But il
You continue to withdraw gold | shall
at once order that You he paid 10 per
cent in silver coin the first day. The
second day you will be paid 20 per
cent in silver, the third day 30 per
cent, and 70 on until onc.half will be
paid You in silver"
But exclaimed the astOnished
bankers, @this is in violation OF Tie
implied obligation that the Govern.
ment will pay in gold.."
Make no mistake about that gen.
tlemen,' replied Mr.. Manning. @Thc
Inv says coin, and the Treasury
will exercise its undoubted preroga.
tive"
That ended the gold raiding. The
Government won its point just as
soon on the Secretary of the Treasury
showed that he had a backbone.

died. Archibald Hooker. a nephew of
the dead man. wore them forty eight
hours, and he also died in great
agony.
The boots then passed into the
hands of an old trapper. The second
day he wore them he was attacked by
a pain in his leg. His experiences
told him that it was the result Of rat

On examining the boots he found a

Many Are Employed In Chic e At Rough
Labor.
The statement made the other day al
the Chicago trade and labor assembly
that women and young children worked
in Chicago's brickyards appears to have
n foundation in fact.
4 visit was made to various brick
yard md. although only one woman
was found Ut work, this was simply be-
cause the yards quit work at ten o'clock
in the morni ny. No one connected
with the in dustry denies that women
work in the yards, but say their work
is mostly what is technically called
backing" brick.
This consists of turning the bricks
over and piling them up in rows. 1t
does not sound like very hard work, but
when il comes 10 either stacking OF
turning over thirty thousand bricks n
dav il will be seen hat the task would
tax the back of many man.
Most of the rough labor is lone by
Poles. and it is said that this is mostly
the race which allows its women to
work in the yards. Contrary to cXpcc-
tation, il is neither widows nor single
women who do the work, but the wives
and mothers of families, who labor in
the yards right beside their husbands.
Not much can be learned from the
employees themselves, but the police
who have travelled around the yards
tell bad tales. They say that it is no
uncommon sight TO see little girls
turning bricks who are SO tired that
they crawl on all tours from IL pile to
another. Their backs are bowed and
bent and they cry when they try 20
stand up straight.
The women, for their work, are paid
six dollars a week. The children get
three dollarS-Or. rather. their parents
get il. Owing to the hours in the yards
the school inspectors can do nothing
because most of the children attend
afternoon school.
Work at the brick yards begins ut
half-past three or four o'clock in the
morning and is over when the sun gets
h~ot-about ten o'clock. Then the little
children can 20 to play or go To school
and the mothers can go to their house
work. They have earned n dollar and
a half.
Women and children have only been
employed in the yards recently. There
was "A general strike among the brick
makers q few weeks ago on account of
the manufacturers not paying the
union scale of wages. and women and
children have been employed to take
the places of the strikers.
