Free Silver and Railway Employees

The third largest class of workmen
is that of employees on steam railways.
There are nearly half a million of these
There is not the remoteSt possibility of
an increase in their wages under a sill
yer standard, but there is a strong
probability of either a reduction or
total loss, for the railways would be
the severest sufferers, next to the work.
ingmen, from a descent to silvcr Rail-
way fares and rates could not be
doubled. The receipts of the companies
would be cut in half, while at the same
time the interest on their bonded debt
would have to be paid in gold. Every
railway In the country would have its
profits wiped out at a stroke by the
change, and many of them would be
driven into confusion and bankruptcy
This has been the fate of Mexican rail-
ways under like conditions, and would
be inevitable here. Nothing could prevent
it except a doubling of all charges, and
this would simply put the burden back
upon the people, and still further raise
the prices of commodities. In any
event, the railways would be seriously
crippled, and would be in no condition
to pay higher wages.-The Century for
October.

ARTISAN AND LABORER.
Their Old AntagOnism and the Causes
of Its Disappearance.

A marked feature of the older trade
unions, and indeed Of the working
classes generally, was the antagonism
between the artisan and the laborer
The gulf between the two classes, less
than half a century ago, was even
greater than that between the working
and middle classes, since a successful
workman could easily become a shop
keeper, whereas it was almost impossi-
BILE for a laborer to become a skilled
workman. But what heightened the an
tagonism was the fact that the laborer
was always the possible ally of the
employer, whose constant object is to
substitute machinery worked by un-
skilled labor, for the skilled artisan
and the attempt on the employers part
to do so was among the frequent
causes Of strikes. From being antago-
nistic in their interests the two classes
became frequently antagonistic in their
politics. The artisan was all but uni
versa.lly a Liberal or Radical; the Ia
borer was very frequently a Tory. So
cietieS for cooperative production in
the fifties frequently refused share
of profits to laborers, If they employed
any. The two classes did not associate
together for social purposes, and have
found in former days even amongst my
friends of the artisan class, the most
singular ignorance as to the habits and
feeling Of the laborers; my own knowl-
edge of the class having been picked up
either through parochial work or free
school teaching.
Broader views, however spread by
degrees through the artisan class, and
larger sympathies grew up in them.
The deeper thinkers Of the class began
asking themselves. How is it that
whilst by our organizations we are
able to hold our own with our employ
ers, to maintain and in many cases
raise wages, to secure shorter hours of
labor and better condition of work gen.
orally, we cannot secure for ourselves
the one substantial thing, employment,
but only its conditions and remunera-
ton when We have it? And the cause
of this which has lain nearest to their
eyes has been the existence of the mass
of unkilled, unorganized labor beneath
them, huge fluctuating, seething with
purely individual wants and passions,
readyit may be to fight for mere days
work at the dock gates. still more
ready at all times to take the place of
the skilled worker in tending any ma
chine whose blind force is substituted
for his skill.-J. M. Ludlow, in Allan
tic Monthly.

East In German with full and correct
translation along side. From this it
seems that Bismarck gave the Bryan
ties no comfort. Even in the spurious
letter we We're not able to find anything
helpful to the Bryan cause But the cor
rect translation puts Bismarck squarely
on the ground occupied by the Republi-
cans, and by no trickery can it be made
to appear that the writer is in harmony
with Bryan's free silver ideas.
The record-union., 1896-10-03

Was there ever a more unfair or
abusive advocate Of any cause on any
stump than this man Bryan? For in
stance, at Wheeling on Thursday he
said, and his words are reported ver-
batim in the dispatches to papers sup
porting him, as well as others, that the
farmers, mechanics, merchants and Ia
boring men and himself want bimetal-
lism because it will help them and
others. But, he added, if you ask an
Eastern finanicer why he wants the gold
standard he will reply because it will
help the farmer, mechanic. business man
and laborer. lie never says that it will
help himself. This is the veriest balder-
dash. In the first place the opponents of
Organism are bimetalliSts, While he Is
preaching monometallism and nothing
else. Twist and turn it as one pleases
his doctrine invariably lands in mono
metallism. AS a matter of fact every
advocate opposing him, including East
ern and all other financiers, plainly,
emphatically state that their reason for
lighting Organism is because its accept
ance by the country will be bad for them
and everybody else. There is just as
much honest and frank selfishness in
the opposition to Bryan, as there is
among the silver mine owners and spec
ulators, and the Rothschilds of Europe
who own large interests in American
silver mines and silver products else
where; just as much as there is of un-
wholesome and unjustifiable selfishness
among silverites who expect to double
their possessions at the expense of the
nation, by forcing 81 cent dollar upon
the people with 100 cents of purchasing
power, and nothing behind it but fiat.
And now it turns out that Mr.. Bryan
and his lieutenants have been reading
to the people a garbled and incorrect
translation of Bismarck's letter to Gov
ernor Culberson. The letter is now
printed by the Republican press at the

Country.

And so it goes through a long list,
With far more countries showing in
crease Of tonnage than decrease. Even
Finland has 200 more vessels in the for
eign trade than has the United States,
and Sweden has over 1000 as against
our 1,26O, and Norway has 1913
against our pitiful showing of less than
1900. and poor Hawaii with her hand
full Of people and morsel of trade has
about one-twenty- third as many ships
engaged in foreign commerce as has
the Republic of America with its TO-
OO0, 600 people and the longest line Of
sea coast of any nation on the globe.
Certainly, it is a crime for the Re
publican party to declare for conserva-
ton of American shipping interests by
wise protection through discriminating
duties.

Showing the Power Welded by the Pa
triot Government In Cuba.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-The Evening
Telegraph says significant manifesto
ton of the power welded by the pa
triot government was made in this
city yesterday, when Senior Mora, a
sugar planter of the province of Las
Villas, came to Philadelphia from New
York and made an appeal to the local
junta for permission to grind sugar in
that province. Senior Mora came as
the accredited representative of the
sugar planters of the entire district.
and he brought documents which
proved his right to speak for them to
the Cuban managers in the United
States. The conference was held with
Col. Emilio Nunez, who represents all
the Cubans of Philadelphia, and Senior
Mora's request was refused.
The local junta has uniformly de-
clined to interfere with the measures
of war adopted by the generals in the
field. Senior Mora, after the inter-
view with Col. Nunez, abandoned his
intention of visiting Senior Palma in
Washington. He stated that he pro-
posed sailing at once for Cuba and
conveying his request to Gen. Gomez.

by a OrnadO-Great Loss of Human Life
Reported and Immense Destruction Of
Property-The Tonga Islands Visited.
BRISBANE, Feb. 1.-Great loss o.
life and very large destruction of prop
erty have been caused in the northern
part of this colony by tornado and
foods. 1t is impossible as yet to tell
how many persons lost their lives, but
it is known that great numbers were
drowned. The damage to property is
estimated at $500. 900. Several coast
ing vessels are missing, and it is be-
ieved that they have either foun-
dered or been driven ashore, and that
all aboard of then were lost.
Townsville, a seaport, on Cleveland
bay, suffered more than any other
place in the districts affected. There
is scarcely a building in the town that
escaped damage.
Advices from the Tonga islands
show that hurricane lately passed
over them. Two ships at Tongataboo
island were wrecked and thousands of
cocoanut tree on the plantations were
torn up by the roots, causing heavy
loss to their owners.

SALISBURY SPEAKS.

Explains His Position ON the Monroe Doc
trine and Practically Subscribes to IT.
Tells Why England Has Not Met the Do
mands Of Christendom In S0ppressing
Turkish Cruelty In Armenia
LONDON, Feb. Prime Minister
Salisbury delivered speech here last
night, in the course OF which he re-
butted the statements made Thursday
night by Mr.. John Merely to the
electors of Arbroath, concerning the
Monroe doctrine. Mr.. Morley said
that Lord Salisbury had Numbered in
seeming to question the Monroe doc
trine, and that if there ever was a
question that should be arbitrated it
was the Venezuelan boundary ques-
ton.
Lord Salisbury said last night that
although the doctrine formed no part
of international law, his dispatch to
Secretary Olney supported it as rule
of policy as strongly and distinctly as
possible, but in the form in Which
Monroe himself understood it.
The prime minister expressed SYM
pathy with the Armenians, but denied
that Great Britain was under any
obligation to declare war against the
sultan of Turkey in order to compel
him to govern Justly; and cited the
treaties in proof of his contention.
He ascribed the atrocities to the
passions of race and creed. He
believed that the sultan's govern
ment was wretched and impotent,
but there was no ground for inn
agining that the sultan had in
stigated the massacres. It might be
asked why Europe did not interfere.
He could only answer for England.
She had lacked the power to do the
only thing necessary to end the
trouble, namely, to militarily occupy
the Turkish provinces. None of the
powers wished SO to occupy them.
Lord Salisbury said that he con-
Cured in the phlicy that the only
authority, albeit it was an evil one, in
that country, was the prestige of the
sultan's name. Patience must be exec
cised and his majesty must be given
time to enforce the reforms he had
promised. He remarked upon the
gradual return of order in Ana
tolia during the last few weeks,
although he admitted that these
signs should not be trusted toe

MISSOURI DEMOCRACY.

Apportionment of the Delegates Who VIII
Meet: In Sedalia in April-Recommen-
dalton that no Delegates be Chosen UntE
April.
The Democratic state central COM
mittee has had under consideration
the work preparatory to the state con-
vention to be held at Sedalia April Is,
when delegates to the national con-
vention will be chosen, and its conclu-
sions and recommendations are en-
bodied in letter which will be for
warded to the chairman of the various
county committees SO soon as it can be
printed The committee recommends
that. in order to give ample time for
discussion, no delegates to the conven-
ton be chosen until April 1, and also
that county central committees be
elected at the same time when the
Sedalia convention delegates are
chosen. The letter also gives the basis
of apportionment, and desiguates the
number of delegates to which each DIS
trict is entitled. It reads as follows:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC STATE CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE, ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. %,
1896.-At meeting of the Democratic state
central committee, held on January 25, 1896, at
convention was called to meet at Sedalia. Mo-,
at 12 o'clock noon, on Wednesday, April 10,
1896, for the purpose OF selecting "a delegates
and "a alterna ties, being two delegates and two
alternateS from each congressional district,
and four delegates and four alternateS from
the state at large, to the national democratic
convention to be held in the city OF Chicago on
Tuesday, July :, 1895.
The basis Of representation upon which dele
gates are to be elected to the Sedalia conven-
ton is one delegate for every 500 or fraction OF
$50 or more votes cast in each representative
district OF the state, outside Of the city OF st.
Louis, and in each ward in St. Louis. for the
democratic electors in 1892. The manner and
method of selecting delegates are to be deter
mined by the county committees In the sew
eral counties of the state.
Believing that the welfare OF the party VIII
best be subserved by ample time being given
for full and free discussion of public questions
we earnestly. but respectfully, recommend to
the various county committees of the state that
no county convention for the purpose of select
ing delegates to the Seda1ia convention be held
prior to April l, 1896.
Desiring to secure the most efficient organt-
cation possible, we earnestly recommend to the
various county conventions of the state that
when they meet for the purpose OF selecting
delegates to the Sedalia convention they then
elect their county central committee for the
ensuing two years.
Under the basis of representation given
above the counties of the state and the city of
StLouiS will be entitled to delegates as follows:
