10th OF June, 1897, we ask the presence

Big Damage Suit.

B. P. Robson. who was discharged by
the Iron Mountain railroad during the
strike in 1894, has entered suit against
said road for $500 damages. 1t is
alleged in the bin of complaint that
plaintiff was discharged from defend.
ants employ July Q, 1894, and at the
same time the said company caused his
name to be placed on what is known as
IA BLACK list" that he has repeatedly
applied for employment on different
railroads without success. due to the
action of the defendant company; that
by virtue of long experience he is pecu-
iarly adapted to the railroad business,
and for thus hindering and depriving
him of procuring employment, asks
that Judgment be given him in the above
amount. The case will be watched
with interest by railroad men.

A Minister Fined For Contempt.

Rev. j. b. Mclaughlin was fined
$50 and sented to ten days in the
Garland county Jail. The trouble grew
out of church trial of Mclaughlin,
who was found guilty of conduct I'M
becoming minister and dismissed from
the pastorate of the Methodist church
1T Hot Springs. He refused, however,
to retire or surrender the keys to the
deacons, when the matter was taken into
chancery court, where an injunction
was granted restraining him from the
use of the building, and commanding
him to deliver the keys to the official
church board. This he also declined
to do, but returned the keys to the
parties from whom the building was
rented. He was cited to appear and
show cause for failure to comply with
the court order, when he was adjudged
guilty of contempt, and the above pen
atty assessed against him.

Deserted by It's Friends.

However much the country may desire
to have the tariff settled and business
arranged under its provisions, il is bet
ter TO have a carefully considered
scheme of duties than one rushed
through in hot haste which business
men will repent at leisure. If the SEN
ate were to follow the precedent of the
house and jam through the Dingley
bill without investigation and discus
sion it would be calamity. We doubt
If even Mr. Dingley himself would to-
day favor the adoption of his h:ll as it
left the house. Certainly the business
interests of the country. however much
they may favor revised tariff, a pro-
tective tariff perhaps, do not want the
Dingley tariff. That legislative abor-
ton has no friends now.--CIeveland

NECESSITY OF SILVER.
Would Restore the Equilibrium of
the CURRENCY

WOuld Restore the Equilibrium OF
the Currency.
Discussion of the questions which
arise concerning the circulating me-
dunn have resulted in so broadening
the minds of those opposed to silver
that only few are left whose sole re-
ply to arguments made by an advocate
of the white metal is: You're a
crank or lunatic."
Time was when abuse and ridicule
were considered quite the proper thing
by goldite editors and spellbinders, but
that time has very nearly passed. There
are, however, a few narrow-minded men
in this country who cling to the old
method of procedure. but in their I'M
reasoning abuse they harm no one ex-
cept themselves and their cause.
Facts are more convincing than fus-
tian, and bimetallists. having the facts
on their side, are spreading conviction
broadcast among the people. When the
fact is stated that all the gold II the
world would furnish but $3.50 per cap
ita, the reply discourteous that the man
who states the fact is crank or a
omy to conduct the business of the
world on limited capital. What would
be thought of a merchant who would
endeavor to make a success of his en-
terprise on one-tenth of the amount
of capital it required? The goldites
would be fully justified in characteriz-
ing such a man as crank or a luna
| tic"
Fer period of 20 years. the United
States has been doing business under
conditions the tendency of which has
been steadily against the debtor. The
increase in the purchasing power of
| gold has made it out of the question for
the debtor to cancel his obligations,
because he has been compelled to sur
render to the creditor from day to
day, from month to month and from
year to year all the products of his
labor. The price of commodities hav-
ing fallen steadily, the creditor gets
all the benefit, and the dollar a man
| borrowed last year must be paid this
year with the uncarned increment of
an approaching currency added to the
original obligation.
We hear great deal about the dis
honesty of the "50-cent dollar" and
the wrong its adoption would inflict
upon the creditor, but the 50-cent dol
lar is myth and the rehabilitation of
silver would simply restore the equi-
librium of the currency, establish a
| just relation between debtor and cred
itor, prevent the pauperizing and en-
shaving of labor and bring prosperity
once more within our gates.-Chicago
Dispatch.

So long as we are shut in be-

but shackles our export trade by keep
ing our products in, high wages are
paid until overproduction and the
clogged home market compel the shut
ting down of the mill. Then there are
no wages at all.-N. Y. Times.
The republican senators who are
holding an autopsy on the mangled re-
mains of the Hpgley bill appear to have
come to one sane conclusion. They
have been forced to acknowledge that
prohibitory tariff win not produce
revenue. However effective it may be
in fostering mopopolies it will not cure
dedcit. They are therefore compelled
to supplement the restrictive tariff with
sorue revenue taxes.-N. Y. World.

IAR.EF LEGISLATION.
Foolish Talk Of Placing the Measure
with n Com q. zion.


Sesnator Cullom has written a re-
markable letter TO the tariff commission
league favoring the object of the league.
which proposes the removal of the tariff
question from national politics and plac-
ing it in the hands -. a commission.
whose duty it shall DC to supervise the
tariff laws and keep congress informed
concerning desirable or necessary
changes.
Senator Cullom says that something
ought TO he done Ito avoid constant and
extreme chang es in the tariff legislation
first going So far in the direction of a
high tariff, and on the occasion of a
change of politics going as far the other
way" He wants to prevent the neces-
sity of a change of the whole tariff by
the party coming into power. for the
reason that the business of the country
will not tolerate il.
1t is gratifying TO hear a republican
senator talking of the hardship TO bust
ness of wholesale tariff tinkering ana of
the desirability of putting stop to it.
But when he talks of the necessity OF
such a wholesale change he is talking
nonsense. for the republicans found a
moderately high tariff law in force when
they came into power and could have
made it acceptable to the mass of their
own partisans and a sufficient revenue
measure by very few changes. All of
J the extreme tariff legislation that has
been accomplished has been the work of
the republicans.
| When the democrats came into power
four years ago they found in force an
extreme measure. which was almost as
roundly abused by the republicans as by
the democrats. They were pledged to a
basis. but when the Wilson bill became
a law it was still measure of moderate
protection and merely made a start in
the direction of revenue tariff.
To talk. therefore. of the danger and
folly of extreme tariff changes is to in
dict the republicans, who now propose
to upset a moderate reduction of an ex-
IRENE measure by still more extreme
measure. To place this extreme meas
ure in the hands of a commission
charged with the duty of keeping it ex-
| IRENE would not take the tariff out of
politics. Tariff tinkering for the pur-
pose of enriching one set of citizens at
the expense of others on the part of a
commission would be more objection
able than tariff tinkering by congress.
Until tariffs are levied for revenue and
not for robbery it is not worth while to
put tariff legislation in the hands Of a
commission and the tariff question can
not be taken out of politics.-St. Louis
Republic
