LEADVIuLE. Colo. Oct. with all
possible speed the managers of the big
mines are completing their notifications
and making preparations to resume work.
They are going to operate the mines
against ali combined resistance of the
other side and positively assert that no
man who insists on being a member of the
union can find employment on their
properties.
Tney say they have had applications
from quite a number of them, who on ac-
count of active connection with the union
have been refused But the union is help
ing them out on this line, and union officers
are using every means 10 keep not only
union, but non-union men away from the
mines. The Little Johnny has sixty men
at work to-day, the Emmett about ninety.
the B son and Chip about thirty, the
Mahala fifteen and the Resurrection fif-
teen. Another lot of men are being i'm
ported and likely to arrive Friday, but no
definite information can be learned.

REED SPEAKS At BOSTON,
Compares the 'Sfiyer agitation With the
Greenback Craze That Upset the
Country in 1878.

BOSTON, MASS, Oct. IA grander pub
lie meeting was never held in Boston than
that which greeted Hon. Thomas B. Reed
in Music Hall tonight. Not only was
every seat taken, but the aisles were oc-
cupied as much as the police would per-
NIT. The occasion of the demon stration
was the ratification of the Republican
ticket. Henry Cabot Lodge and Acting
Governor Wolcott were the speakers an
nounced. The presiding officer was W. @.
Lo vering of Taunton. He introduced as
the first regular speaker of the evening
Acting Governor Wolcott, who was
cordially greeted.
Acting Governor Wolcott was followed
by Senator Lodge, who was given hearty
reception. Hon. Thomas B. Reed was the
last speaker He said in part:
We do not need to talk of protection, for this
country by three elections, each more decisive
than the other. has practically decided that
question. But the main question now before
us is the silver question. Even Mr.. Bryan
calls q truce on the tariff, though he earnestly
desired and vigorously fought for worse one
now having is born and bred in the depressed
condition Of public and private affairs.
1t has come upon us like the green back agi-
tation of 1878. 1t had the same causes and in
my judgment will have the same fate with
the rising tide of business in 1879, which fol-
lowed specie resump tion, green backism dis
appeared from the face of the earth, perha ps
never again to reappear. In like manner
when this election is over and business re-
wives, this question of free coinage OF silver
by the United States single-handed and aIons
will disappear from public and private dis.
cussion.
We may safely argue the money question
upon the fact that what the Chicago candi-
dates and platform ask US to do is to leave the
gold standard, not for a double standard but
for another single standard, and that a lower
one.
What will be the effect while we are doing
it? All debts will shrink and therefore all
debtors will be happy. All creditors are rich
men, else why do they lend money? And all
debtors are poor men, else why do they bor-
row money?
The life Insurance companies which do busi-
ness In New York have accumulated for the
beneft OF policy-holders and their beneficial
ries $1,l42, 900 900, an amount 5000, 900
greater than the National debt How can such
companies pay the benef efcisries in any money
they do not get themselves? Eight millions
and half of men are insured in thirty-ive
companies alone. Nearly 100000 more are
insured in the small benefit associations This
beautiful business of reducing debts one-half
will strike 10000, 600 men. Worse than that:
in time it will strike 30,0o0.00o women and
children.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. THE Re-

cred that a circular is being secretly dis
tributed among railroad employees which
is destined to give the impression that P.
NJ. Arthur, grand chief engineer of the
International Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, favors the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. The circular having
been brought to the attention of n. B.
Scott of the Republican National Com
mittee, the latter wrote letter TO Mr..

The following is the letter from Mr..
Ar thur:
Mr.. N B. Scott NetU York-DEAR SIR: Your
esteemed favor, with circular lnclosei, re-
ceived and read with care. That there may be
toward the two parties whatever. what ] say
must be accepted as coming from an lndiyid-
ual, not as an executive officer of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers.
About two years ago a gentleman called
upon Mr.. Sargent and at the Gibson House,
and read us what was purported to be petit

the reading OF the document, he asked me if I
would sign 1t. did so, and thought no more
about it until the past two months, when l
find it is being circulated and used for politi-
cal purposes understood at the time that II
was to be presented to Congress asking for the
enactment of laws in the interest Of labor. !
cannot say whether the present circular is a
true copy of that one. / may say, however,
that l am not in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver, and intend to vote
for Mckinley regardless of what may have
been said or done in the past. Respectfully
yours, ?. NJ. ARTHUR.

TWO MONSTER PARADEs.
HotU Chicago Proposes to Celebrate the
Big Fire Annirersary.

Big Fire Anniversary.
CHICAGO. ILL, Oct. From every
indication the Chicago day parades will
be the greatest pageants of their kind. or
in point of numbers of any kind, ever seen
in this city, noted as it is for civic and
military demonstrations.
Chicago day. which commentaries the
burning of the city. is to be celebrated on
Friday, the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the great fire, by stupendous parade of
Republicans and anti-silver Democrats in
the morning and afternoon, and another
demonstration by the Democrats and
other advocates of free coinage of silver in
the evening.
The first parade is to start at 10 o'clock,
and it is estimated that seven hours will
be required for the marchers to pass a
given point, although the marching will
be in close order and at rapid pace.
The night parade is expected TO vie
with that OF the gold advocates in point of
mum Der and enthusiasm, so there will be
little cessation of music and cheering
hosts from early morning till late at
night. On stand in front OF the Palmer
Hotel the Presidential candidates of the
indianapolis convention will be seated.
1t is confidently predicted that the
strangers in the city will exceed in num-
Der even the crowds that thronged
Chicago during the Worlds Fair.

outlook Mr.. Durbin said:
I'VE are we'll pleased with the situation
in Michigan and have no doubt that the
final results will be largely in orr favor.
We want to add to this general victory by
electing twelve Republican Congressman
and feel that this will be done. The Re-

all over the Middle West and / am practi-
cally assured that Mckinley will be chosen
in Indiana. my native State where every
thing is working nicely. In Illinois, as
we'll as Iowa, Winconsin and Minnesota,
the prospects are most favorable. 1t is a
wonderful campaign and the change in
sentiment is marvellous"

special from New York which represented
Mr.. Hanna as having lost confidence in
the result OF the election in the Middle

Mr. Hanna's own signature than to re-

accord and were not worrying.

been made by the Democratic managers

paper $4,000 for reading matter space. I
hardly know whether the thing is worth the

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. f. - Ii Hung Chang paid flying visit to this city and was entertained by the Union League, visited Independence hall and called on John Russell Young. Although he had not had an opportunity to visit Cramps shipyard as was planned, Ii found Charles Cramp, the head of that establishment, awaiting his arrival at the station in Phil adelphia. He greeted Mir. Cramp affec. tionately and engaged him in conversation for about ten minutes. In reply to a ques- tion MT. Cramp told u that he was not only the president of the company but the designer of all it's ships.
 "What have you dores"
 ''I have designed more ships and a great CT variety of them than any other man in the world" was Mir. Cramps reply. u inquired closely regarding the class of ships built at the Philadelphia yard and then said: "I find that most of the nations build their ships In England and France Why is itg'' Mir. Cramps response was that there wore various reasons for this condition. As general thing, he said, the countries that buy ships in England do so at the behest of moneyed syndicates and bankers who have financial interests which make 1t more desirable to them that English shipyards be patronized. u ex- pressed over and over again his regret at not being able to personally inspect the great shipyard on the Delaware and ended the interview by inviting Mir.
