The case came up yesterday afternoon be-

good business, turning out brackets and
printing office furniture.
He was compelled to run his engine early

His Action on the Suffrage Bill De
nounced by District Assembly

Chairman Babcoek was severely criticised
at the meeting OF District Assembly, No.
Sc, h. OF l., last night for his action in
connection with the District suffrage bin.
The meeting was largely attended and
Master Workman Simmons was in the chair.
When the report OF the legislative COM
mittce was heard there was Il race between
several of the most prominent members
for recognition by the chair. Finally one
of the most Influential labor leaders was
recognized and he at once proceeded TO de-
nounce Chairman Babcock for what he
termed his bad faith to the people of the
District. Other members followed, speak
ing on the same line and adding their in
dorsement to the expressions of the first
speaker.
The opinion of the assembly was ex-
pressed in a resolution unanimously adopted
to the effect that his constituents, es-
peciaIly the knights of Labor element. be
informed of his action in regard TO the Dis
trict suffrage bill.
Laundry Workers Assembly reported
holding a very large and enthusiastic meet
ing on Wednesday night, at which seven
new members were initiated.
1t was also reported that one of the build
ing trades organiza tons was going to sever

"WHAT DO you think about trusts?''
"What do YOU think about trusts?''
"What do you THINK about trusts? p
what do you think about TRUSTS?'

This parrot-like cry has elected the
answer from an irritaed citizen that on
Oct. q, 1899, Major Mckinley wrote to
the Starks county Farmers Alliance
a letter in which he said:
II am opposed to all trusts and com.
binations of any kind in the restraint
of trade, and would favor any legisla.
tion which would destroy them.

which was a step in the right direc-

This explicit answer ought to satisfy
the average man, but the paper from

Major Mckinley with the double-leadet
query:
what do you NOW think abou
trusts?"

The Sole BensAoiarles.
The only men beneated-and they
are few today, and It is scarcely worth
while to bring around revolution in
the country to benefit them-are the
debtors who have today gold on hand,
and who by free silver coinage will
have their store doubled in nominal
value, and will be enabled to reduce
their debts by one-half. And for those
the question remains, II 1t Is honest
It Is delusion to imagine that silver
will circulate so plentifully that 1t can
be had easily by all, and that the Quan.
tity will make up for the lack Of value.
II silver bullion does not increase in
commercial value, silver will not be
produced in quantities, and as owners
of silver will not part with it except in
exchange for commodities or labor
which they deem useful and valuable,
IL the business of the country Is not
prosperous the people will get very
little silver and obtain no profit from
free mintage.
But-and here is' the popular argu-
ment in favor of free coinage Of sill
ver-we have had hard times under
the gold standard. That is true, and
what is also true under the silver
standard, we shall have much harder
times. 1t is the great fallacy of the
day to be attributing our hard times
to the gold standard. The craze of free
silver as cure for hard times Is ex-
plicable on the same theory that man
who has been a long time sick despite
the attentive care of expert physicians,
will call for any quack who advertises
to cure all the ills of humanity. Hard
times have come through the severe
and resistless work of economic laws
which go their way in spite of legal en-.

You say that you pay your miners

II you paid them in silver bullion you

Yes; about four ounces of 1t.
