MINES AND MILLS STOPPING.

The closing of iron mines in Michigan, throw
ing 1000 miners ont Of work; Of Massachusetts
cotton mills having 11,114 operatives, and of
Connecticut rubber works having 1.40O. IS gen
orally attributed to the silver agitation. ana
without doubt thinking workingmen will rea
son that actual disturbance Of the monetary
standard would create far greater depression of
Industries than Is caused by the fear of 1t. II
there are to be three months more Of constant
uncertainty in the minds Of business men re-
Cardlng the monetary future, il Is necessary to
face the fact that such state of things VII, in
all probability produce a much greater curta
mcnt of business and of industry than has yet
been Witnessed, and the stoppage of work iney-
tably reduces the power OF the millions 10 pur-
chase the products Of those who remain at work
Thus the 2JOOO operatives thrown out already
this week doubtless earn when Mt work at least
$4,000 per week. which they spend In buying
food from farms. clothing and implements from
manufacturers sugar. coffee and tea from I'M
porters, so that every branch Of business must
be affected by the reduction in their purchases
The one remedy for this state Of things Is TO
end the doubt by making the defeat Of Bryan
and free silver certainty
A little reflection will show both workingmen
and farmers that there is a difficulty behind
that which the silver agitation causes. II all
the mills and shops and mines had been at work
and paying fair wages. the mere apprehension
of n possible monetary change In the future
would not have stopped the wheels and the
picks. Practical men do not stop business
which is profitable and healthy in the fear that
1t may next year become Improbable. Proof
of this was seen In the winter Of 1892 d. when
Democrats had elected President and Congress
pledged to make radical changes In the tariff
the next year. Manufacturers ran on through
the winter and until March doing good bust
ness, not quite as large rs had been done in
October because the works that had not orders
for the future ceased to solicit them, and began
10 close or to curtail, but yet larger business
on the whole, than has been done at any time
since. Because 1t was profitable, manufact
urers continued until the consumers began to
hold back orders. having been assured that lower
duties would bring them great reduction in
prices.
The fear Of a silver basis and higher nominal
prices does not deter consumers from buying
but tends, on the contrary, TO encourage pur
chases at prices now the lowest ever known
Factories, mills and mines are obliged TO stop
because in the face Of grave uncertainty about
the future they cannot any longer continue bust
ness which the existing tariff has rendered
scarcely profitable. The working force and the
wages Of workers have been so reduced under
that tariff that the purchases OF the people FOR
consumption have been far below The productive
capacity of the works Hence they have been
plling up goods on hand in order to avoid stop
ping operations until the stocks Of unsold cot

SENATOR GORDON.

Senator Gordon taxes the patience Of honorable
men. II he should declare himself outright a
pervert to the silver heresy his case would
be less grevous He would at least assume con-
sistency. But that he does not do He still pro-
fesses to be soundmoney man, a gold-standard
man. He says he Is, and he speaks Of "us gold
bugs" Yet he is going to vote for Bryan and
Sewall, and even to make speeches in their be-
half. in some men such conduct might be dis
missed with q smile" IN Senator OF long,
distinguished and honorable career. who was n
gallant soldier on the wrong side, has been q
conspicuous patriot since the War, and a use
full and upright citizen, 1t demands more serious
consideration though, as we have said, 1t is a
sore tax upon courtesy and patience.
The silver question should be settled, once and
for all time, Senator Gordon thinks. In that all
rational men will agree with him. But how does
he propose to have 1t settled? BY adopting the
very course which he himself believes to be
wrong. Has he never heard the saying which
is as true as Gospel, that no question Is ever
permanently settled until 1t Is settled right?

FISH AND FOUNDERS.

Founder Bradley, of Asbury Park. who Is
the maker Of many statutes, Is occasionally the
breal er Of them. and has recently been in court
charged with having In his seaside aquarium
brace OF sturgeon out Of season. In defiance
Of the ordinance in that case made and pro-
vidcd The complaint against him was made by
Deputy Fish Warden Edge and the founder
conducted his own case, saying that the times
were hard and he was not able to employ a
lawyer. But he did not need one. and came
off with flying colors. Although the goddess
OF New-Jersey justice is blind as a bat, she
Is not deaf as an adder and the persuasive ac-
cents OF the founder falling upon her un-
bandaged ears like honey or the twilight
breathings of the Aeoan lutes assured her
that In reaching out her claw for cuprit
she had really drawn before her tripod work
e. for righteousness, more diligent in business
and fervent in spirit than any who has recently
appeared on the New-Jersey coast.
Mr. Bradley said. and the fact is apparent.
that his aquarium and the fish In it were In
the interests Of science. lie also said that he
had enriched archaeological lore with the dis
tcvery that the sturgeon could live two hours
and thirty minutes after being taken out Of its
native element Nobody before him knew exact
guessed way and Professor Agassiz an
other, and Professor owen laid down the pFin-
cple that he did not care q pistareen whether
II died in two hours or two weeks. Society was
all at sea about IT. but now 1t knows The
founder also pointed out that the statute for
bidding the capture possession Of the fish
between June 30 and December l was, by It's
terms. imperative until Pennsylvania and
Delaware had passed similar ones, and this
they have not yet done. This argument ruled
the fish marshal out Of court, and the sturgeon
having long ago been thrown into the sea- there
remained neither prosecutor nor cause of action.
The issue of the will meet with general
concurrence. The founder is Of more value
than many surgeons, and II 1t comes to that,
than many deputy fish wardens If he Is obliged
to break a statute and then, II Is sure TO
be found on investigation that 1t Is one which
Is either unconstitutional or Is cracked like an
Etruran cinerary urn or Italian lachry-
matory already. He is a supporter as we'll as a
manufacturer Of laws and only constructlvely
now and then their violator. Justice mops the
record of his accusation and arraignment off
her slate leaving a tablet virgin as the young
knights white shield of expectation and bows
him out of her tribunal as one who has been
weighed in her balances and not found wanting.

cIsion: no. nor by anything except the Eihhh-
cIpation Proclamation and the Nllith Ainehd-
ment-and the Army Of the Potomac.
Senator Gordon admits that the settlement he
fayors Is wrong. But 1t may not. he says. prove
to be quite as wrong rs we think. Whht SORT
OF plea Is that? There are only two dimensions

ton goods and pig-iron have become the largest
ever known. 1t was hoped that better times
would come after the election Of Republican
Congress with n change OF revenue laws. But
the silver boilers and Democrats cOnspired to
prevent any change. Piling up products for
possible future demand now involves some sure
loss and great risk, and, with monetary nncer
taInties added, becomes impracticable for one
establishment after another
Thus the silver agitation was peculiarly enec'
tive for harm, because II came when the manu-
featuring and mining interests had been pushed
into the gravest difficulties by the existing tar
IY. with It's increase OF foreign competition ana
decrease OF American wages and consumption
and by the conspiracy Of Democrats and silver
boilers to refuse relief With that condition OF
things the monetary agitation brings paralysis
which. II business were otherwise more healthy
and prosperous, could not result from mere uIi-
certainty regarding monetary legislation next
year 1t is therefore Of great importance that
the relation Of these two causes. each Intensity
ing the other should be fully understood
throughout the country. The votes for a change
In 1892 are the primary cause OF disaster; next
the conspiracy Of Democrats and silver men to
refuse relief; and third the monetary agitation
coming upon Industries already strained 10 the
utmost and overloaded with goods which re-
stricted wages and consumption have prevented
them from selling. Clearly enough the one rem
edy and the only one which can be Immediately
applied, Is to make it certain that the election
of a Republican President and Congress will
remove all fear Of monetary disaster and give
assurance OF defence for industries.
