The charge which Mr.. W, P. DeArmltt,
the Pennsylvania mine operator, brings
against the West Virginia operators Is 30

West Virginia coal operators contributed

Mine Workers Union to aid them in max

Surely. so intelligent a man as Dear

Mexico and tn. silver Dollar.

The Mexican Herald, one OF the leading
newspapers OF the city of Mexico, Is dis
gusted with the decline OF silver. Mexl-
co has the monetary policy that the Bry-
antics want the United States to adopt,
and yet silver is not 81 20 per ounce down
there by any means. The present value
OF the Mexican dollar on Mexican soil Is
only 40 cents and the Heraldexclaims:"A
IS cent dollar is too cheap by far. The
best interest of the country would be
served by a 60 cent dollar, which would
give moderate gold premium to stlmu'
late agriculture and manufactures"
Aside from presenting an object lesson
to Americans who are welded to the
cheap dollar theory, and showing them
the state OF affairs we would have under
such currency system az they desire,
the Mexican papers admission has an
other remarkable feature. Why should
It want agriculture and manufactures
stimulated only moderately" with a 60
cent dollar and a premium of any sort
on gold? The 40 cent dollar, or a 25 cent
dollar would do Just as well. wouldn't 1t?
Is It possible that the Mexican Herald Is
afraid OF having too much OF this sort OF
prosperity for agriculture and manufac-
turesl II cheap dollar is a good thing
r,hv no, tho chenper the better? with a
moderate" premium on gold with so
cent dollar, who gets the difference and
who pays It. and is a 40 cent premium
really moderator" Perhaps. when Mr.
Bryan makes his Mexican tour he will bo
able to and an Intelligent answer to these
questions,

Tho Register says: Before the de-
monetization Of silver began to be felt

quently over dollar a bushel." But
our nelghbor does not explain what sill
yer had to do with the price OF wheat,
and particularly what 1t had to do with
It before the characterization" when, as
everybody known there was no silver
money in circulation. and when during
the period OF eighty years of free silver
there was not one-fiftleth OF the number
of silver dollars coined as have been
coined In the twenty-five years since free
coinage was dropped.
The talk about silver regulating the
price Of wheat, or the price of either
commodity being dependent on the price
OF the other has long since been proven
to BIO the merest balderdash. II Is not
capable of proof by any sane process of
reasoning. The price OF wheat,like that Of
any other commodity, In regulated by the
lew OF supply and demand, and the crop
conditions OF the world. How free silver
ever had anything to do with regulating
the wheat market. or any other cereal
market, or prices for manufactured
goods, cannot be demonstrated in view
of the fact that with free coinage no
silver money was in use and very small
amount of It was being coined.
At present while wheat rises silver
goes down. Under free coinage the price
OF wheat would be controlled by the same
natural laws of trade that control 1t now,
and the only possible connection with
silver It could have would be that the
farmer would receive his pay in depre-
clated money. the value OF which would
be entirely dependent on the daily fluc-
tuatIons in the market for silver bullion
Just at present the farmers In the great
wheat belt are reaplng a good profit on
their crops, and as they are getting good
one hundred cent dollars, with pur-
chasing power OF one hundred cents, they
arc not worrying themselves about the
gold standard, nor are they bowling for
cheap money.

Governor Atklnson's letter to the labor
leaders who called upon him to inquire
concerning the temporary injunction at
Fairmont, lays down the rights that are
guaranteed by the West Virginia constl-
tuition and laws. and IL In line with what
the Intelllgencer has been saying all
along. Too much significance was at
tached to the injunction by the repre-
sentatives of the strikers, ana 1t was
badly misunderstood or grossly mis-
represented by the sensational news
paper correspondents. The injunction
did not in any manner interfere with the
lawful rights Of any man, has not been
made permanent Judge Mason has
never rendered decision on II, and no
person familiar with the circumstances
believe that It was intended TO abrldge
any ones legal privileges.
While pointing out that he cannot In
terfere with the actions of the courts Of
the state, Governor Atkinson informs the
organizers that there is the utmost free
dom allowed In the discussion of any
subject in public places, the only restric-
lions being that the rights and property
Of others must not be trespassed upon.
II is only when these rights are infringed
upon that the authority OF the law Is in
voked. Judge Mason's Injunction can
only be served where these rights are not
respected and that is why 1t has not been
served. save in one of two instances.
where there seemed to be warrant for IL.
In the meantime, the organizers have
not been interfered with in their work in
the Falrmont region, and will not be so
long as the law is not violated. The
judiciary Of West Virginia, like the cx-
ecutive branch. may be looked to to up
hold the rights OF all citizens. regardless
OF class or condition. The concluding
paragraph OF the governors letter ex-
presses the guarantee OF freedom assured
to every one tersely and well, as follows:
So long as the workinEmen OF this state
conduct their cause In lawful and
peaceable manner II will be my duty, as
IL will be pleasure, to protect them; but
n they should, In an ill-advised hour. ylo-
late the law by interfering with the
rights or property or others, 1t will be my
sworn duty to repress energeically and
speedily all lawlessness and to see that
the public peace is maintained at all
hazards, and that the property OF our
people is protected for we must oil
whether rich or poor, employer or en-
ploye, high or low, respect, and obey the
law.
In this expression the governor reflects
the attitude OF every branch OF the state
government, and there is nothing in the
injunction proceeding. about which 10
much unnecessary clamor has been
raised. owing to the ignorance on the
part OF critics, which conflicts with 1t.

ton y. FaIrmoat dinIHE situAiloa.
Ex-Governor A, B. Fleming was in
teryIewed by a Baltimore Sun corre-
spondent Monday and gave 10 the pub
lie some interesting information con-
corning the strike of the coal miners,
from which the Intelllgencer quotes'
"our miners, like the operators in this
district, have nothing in common with
those in the Pennsylvania regions We
are turning out more coal now than
ever before in the history OF this dis
trict. With the present facilities the
maximum daily capacity of the mines
is about $1,000 tons. There are now be-
ing mined about 1900 tons daily,
"The Fairmont district is regarded as
having an exceedingly important bear
ing on the outcome OF the strike. A
complete shut down in this and other
West Virginia regions would, In the
opinion OF the leaders in the great strike
cause such depletion In the stock OF
coal in the various markets as TO force
the operators to accede to the demands
OF the strikers for the payment OF 90
cents a ton for mining.
"A visit to mines developed the fact
that the failure Of the labor leaders to
bring out the men was because most
of the latter had no grievances.
Compared with the circumstances OF
the Pennsylvanians. the men In the
Fairmont district appear to have de-
a tNN asVa I'M al
tratlon of this is that they live better,
and many OF them are property owners.
over rs per cent OF the men re.Ameri-
cans and most Of them are natives of
the district. Around their homes are
seen many evidences OF the interest they
take in their property. Those who own
their homes have from two 10 ten acres
OF ground each. In one settlement,
Minersville, all the residents are said to
own their own homes and most OF them
are free from debt, This condition of
affalrs has been the chief obstacle TO
success ofthe labor agltators.
1.-THE strike OF "a was responsible for
much OF this order OF things, After that
strike Mr.. ]. o. Watson, who was the
pioneer operator In the Fairmont dis
trict, having begun mining in 1854, in
troduced plan TO assist miners to buy
homes. Many OF them took advantage
OF the opportunity and invested part OF
their earnings in, this way. The values
OF the properties thus acquired range
from $500 to $1,000 each.
Stress has been laid upon the man
ner in which the companys stores in
the mining districts are run. Talking
with the managers of some, 1t was
found that they handle goods on q basis
OF from 10 to II per cent profit. This. 1t
is said by them, is less than the profit of
many of the independent stores.
Miners are required to deal with the
company store, but do so because II Of

ables his family to exist, and a balance
