children 3,46O, or more than one
fourth were at work.
Now suppose a man who was able
to make the average surplus given
above, $103.51 year, to put this in
the savings bank regularly and let
the interest (say at four per cent?
accumulate; let him begin this at
the age Of twenty and continue till
he was sixty, when he might rea-
sonably wish to quit work, the
whole amount of his savings, in
Guiding interest, would then be less
than So, 400. Any one who has the
slightest knowledge of present in
dustrial conditions knows that the
possessor of this amount of money
is not a capitalist in any sense what
ever. And yet this sum represents
the extreme probable savings of a
labOriOus life in one of our great
industries.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 22d, 1890.
S. @. AKIN:
NV DEAR FR1END:-I shipped
from Duluth last Friday on the
North Land and did not have time
to cali as I promised. I have been
discharged from the boat undef
the following circumstances: l
shipped as water-tender and had
a battery of ten boilers to Keep
water in. The boat, for firemen, is
floating hell and not much better
for water-tenders, and the t1remen
drop out at every port: On us 4he
Sault, Detroit and Cleveland. Many
of them get sick between these
points and refuse to work. Five OF
them quit at Cleveland and the {:
battery of boilers that was caring
for were out of service; the engineer

But you men of Negaunee do not
want more. What mean: you do
not want more bad enough; if you
did you would get into you organi-
cation.
"Here you are educated in the dis
cernment of your wants. Trade
unions are schools where we can
learn more of our rights, a means
by which our vigilance may be
aroused, exercised and maintained.
Trades unions to the wage carriers
are schools of political liberty and
the hope for economic freedom: A
pillar of clouds by day and pillar
of fire by night to lead the hosts OF
labor onward and upward to the
goal of their emancipation. Still
there are men who hold a1oof and
are clog or drag on the wheels
to retard the progression OF the
movement. Not long ago there was
a strike i'm Chicago in which the
butchers all used the label. A lady
entered store and asked tor
sleeps head. The same was given,
when she deserted the label hang
ing on the side of an OK: What is
that, Mr.. Butcher?' That is the
label, ma'am.' oh, my husband
said I must not buy any union
goods, etc., because the men called
him an awful name-a word OF four
letters" Taking the sleeps head
from her hands and placing 1T on
the block, he split it, extracted the
brain and handed it back with the
remark, Now it is non-union goods
"Arbitration, yes I believe in ar
bitration when the contend1ng
forces are equal; not arbitration OF
the lion and lamb sort. One night
the lion and lamb arbitrated and
slept in close proximity to each
other. And the lion woke up in the
morning on the outside OF the
lamb"
There were a great many more
points of interest brought up and
explained beyond any doubt. he
then resumed his seat amid the ap-
plause of thousand voices.
President Gompers left Iron
Mountain by the evening train. AT
Norway he received quite an ova-
tion. the local union turning out to
meet the train at the depot ne
gave short address while the
train stopped, and as the train
pulled out the depot he was
grandly applauded by the great
concourse of people.

Visit of Samuel GomperS.

President Gompers arrived at Ne

Askew and Secretary-T Treasurer
William Nudge of the N. NJ. NJ. w.
p. u, who gave him a hearty well
come to Negaunee and Northern
Michigan on behalf of the mine
workers unions. He was escorted
to the Breitung house in time to
watch the grand procession of the
union men of the district. First of
all came the newly formed federal
labor union preceded by a band;
next the retail clerks, then a band
preceding the mine workers unions
of Negaunee, Ishpeming, Cascade
and Winthrop. After these had
passed then came the calithumpi-
ans representing soldiers guarding
scabs at the Queen mine, bringing
to our memories the stirring times
of twelve months ago. Also a
counterpart of one of the medicine
shows of which there are so many
nowadays.

by Mayor Kirkwood. Mr.. 7. H.
Roberts took the chair and intro
duced the speakers with appropri-
ate remarks.
Matt Koko delivered an address
in the Finnish language on trades
unions and the benefits to be de-
rived from them, which was very
interesting and we'll appreciated.
Robert Askew, president N. NJ. NJ.
w. P. o., alec spoke of unionism
and advised the people present if
they wanted to celebrate the day of
independence in reality they should
join their labor orga nizations and
not keep outside else their indie
pendence would be myth.
Mr.. Primeau of Negaunee read
the Declaration of Independence.
The people then dispersed to the
different parts of the city to take
part in the sports of the day.
In the afternoon President Com
pers accompanied by our local
President Askew went over to Ish-
Peming where large concourse of
people had gathered.

appropriate remarks.
President Gompers took the stand
applause. He spoke about an hour
listened to attentively.
Mr.. Gompers left for Iron Mount
ain in the afternoon. where he adj
dressed a large and enthusiastic
audience on Sunday afternoon.
Among other things he said:
"The1e had been or there might be
some objections to labor meetings
on the Sabbath. But this question
of labor teaches the highest moral
ity. It is the hottest Of questions,
and the holier the day the holier
the deed" He said he might take for
his text "What must we do to be
saved. What shall we do to be
saved now? A peaceful and happy
condition hereafter cannot arise
from the damnation here. We
must change the condition Of men
here to realize something better
hereafter. You must struggle with
present conditions.
"Mankind is endowed with certain
inali@nable rights, among which
are life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness. Who can hear or read
these words without feeling a graf
itude to the noble savants and he
roic fathers of our revolution for
national independence? Who has
not been made better for their ut
terances, when calmly contemplate
ing those lofty aspirations bursting
forth from the innermOst springs
of pure human hearts? In cele-
brating this day of our national in
dependence we should not be un-
mindful of the fact that beyond this
there is coupled with it higher,
nobler conception and charter of
the rights of man. The right of
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness:' Life-who can say that
the man, as he plods his weary way
from city to city in quest of work,
ragged and forlorn, jeered and re-
buffed, has the right to life?
"Who can say that man has the
right to life, liberty and the pur
fuit of happiness when he is starv-
ing, diving for his dinner and there
is no dinner for him?
"What an empty mockery to tell
man he has the right to sleep and
there is no bed for him to lie on.
We want more. Look at your
homes. you who are getting $1.25 a
day! Look at your organs, your
pianos! Look at the carpets on
YOUR floors, four inches thick! It is
human nature to want more. The
man who gets 81 wants $1.1O per
dav: he who gets $1.25 wants $1.4O;
!, q xuho o-ata 80 wants 1921 and so
on. When man gets million he
wants the earth. We want more.
This brings to my recollection a
story: A farmer had mule which
he kept tethered to a stake. The
mule ate all the grass he could
reach, and still not being satisfied,

no way to escape this. 1t is funda-
mental principle in the science Of gov
ernuent that every obligation of the
government is payable in the unit of
money existing at ,he time of the pass
age Of the Act authorizing their issue.
The Uuited States notes outstanding,
S346, ,681, 016. were issued under the
Act Of Congress February %. 1862,
July IL. 1862, and March 3. 1868, aud
are payable in the standard silver dol
lar, tae unit Of money Of the nation, j,
without dispute at the time they were
issued acd up to February II, 1873.
Although the government has ample
silver on hand to meet her obligations,
Secretary Carlisle has been and is
selling goyernmept bonds for golo
without 'aw, and has been and is re-
decmiug, these notes in gold, to the in
expressible injury Of the people. It is
tue duty Of Congress to stop it and
give the countsy satisfactory aud
lasting financial system. If this rob-
berry continues few years longer
four-dfths of the landowners will be
sold out of their homes and made beg
gars as vas the case in England be,
tween 1916 aud 1925, where the same
financial policy vas enacted into law
aad pursued This is election year.
Every candidate for Office should be
made to clearly define his position on
the 6uaacia! question. If the people
fail to disp lace those who are destroy
ipg them and elect to office those who
can aud will give them relief and pro-
jecs the country upon career of re-
newed prosperity. they have no Que to
blame buc themselves ard deserve the
fa:e that is sure to befall them.

Shot His Wlfe'S Assailant.

MANNING, January 26.-There oc
CARED shooting ahray few miles
from Manning early Saturday morn
lug. the result Of which is that one
mans life hangs in a balance, with a
probable chance of recovery
The parties involved are Messrs.
Henry Tindal and j NJ Chewing,
who are brothers-in.law. 1t is
alleged by Mr.. Tindal, who came
over Immediately and surrendered
himself to the authorities, that
Chewning went to his house on
Friday afternoon during his absence
and made a successful criminal as
sault on his wife, at the point Of a
pistol, swearing that he would kill
her if she ever breathed it. After
which, in order to efectualy allay
any suspicion. he went home and
carried his wife and children to
Tindal's house, to spend the evening
AS soon as Mr.. Tindal went home he
discovered that his wife was greatly
troubled about something, but as she
had no opportunity of informing her
husband of the cause, she complained
of being sick Mr. Chewing and
his family left for home about bed
time, both parties living only a short
distance from each other. Mr..
Tindal, Of course, was informed at
once of the true cause of his wife's
trouble, but being unable to approach
Mr.. Chewing that night, concluded
to wait till morning. He loaded his
double.barrel shotgun with buck
shot and proceeded to the home of
his false friend, who soon went out
to the lot to feed his stock Mr..
Tindal informed him that he had
come to kill him. Mr.. Chewing
asked that he l,e allowed to get his
gun, too, but Mr.. Tindal deeming
prudence the better part of valor
emptied both barrels into Chewning's
body. The affair is greatly to be de-
plored, and sympathy, of course, is
almost entirely on Mr.. T!ndaPs side.

A matter that is exciting much inter-
est in both houses is Mr. Rainsford s
bill to take the fluid derived from the
fertilizer tax from the hands of the
Clemson trustees and place it all in the
State treasury. having the legislature
appropriate for Clemson what III its
Judgment it deems sufficient. The de-
bate has been twice adjourned on the
bill.
So far the general assembly has DOT
received Governor Evans promised
special message dealing with the subject
Of the State dispensary. This import
ant branch of tie government has not
yet been touched upou by the general
assembly in aay way whatsoever. Ihe
body is awaiting the message.
Governor Evaps message relating to
the Confederate monuments and TO the
Confederate records was read with
interest by the member Of both houses
and seems to have beep fayorably re-
ceived. Generals alker and McCraoy
of the United Confederate veterans,
and Gen. Farley are expected to appear
before the com mi.tee on this matter
early next week.
The discussion in the house over the
adoption of the resolution expressing
sympathy for the Cuban patriots aud
calling oo congress to recognize them
as belligerents, was one Of the features
of the week 5 session.
The outlook for the coming week
seems 70 be that both houses will have
plenty of work, ard will 90 at it With a
determin alton to waste as little time as

The Silver Dollar.
Convincing Statement Of the
Financial Situation.

Editor Register On the second day
Of April, 1892, the first mint ACT was
passed by Congress establishing our
monetary system. By it the dollar
was made our unit of money This,
the following extract from section 9 Of
that Act. proves:
DOLLAR or units, each to be Of the
value of a Spanish milled dollar as
the same is now current, aud to con-
tain three hundred and seventy-oae
grains and four-sixteeuth parts of a
grain of pure, or four hundred and six
teen grains of standard silver.
Is it not clear that this Act made the
dollar our unit of money aud the dollar
was coined of silver? Gold dollars
were not coined until the Act Of March
Sd, lS49, was passed. 1t reads: "Be
it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States
of America 10 Congress assembled,
That there shall be, from time to time,
struck and coined at the mints of the
