The determination of Western foot

What Caused the Strike:

There are editors OF newspapers
who are so heartless or so blind that
they make the assertion that the strike
OF the coal miners has been brought
about for political effect.
Do the editors OF these
read the statements made by the
miners? What do they mean? TIE
only cause for the strike is starvation
Human beings can no longer endure
the hopeless struggle for existence
under the conditions imposed by the
mine operators.
In the great Hooking valley OF Ohio
the average wage per miner in one OF
the largest mines from October |, 1896
to June /, 1897 or during d period of
eight months, was eco per man. Think
OF that gentlemen Of the press $50
q month wage per man! Is there d
reason in accusing men OF political
objects in striking under such a rs
that?
The only principle involved IL that
OF living wages. MeD cannot SUPPORT
a family on $3.50 a month; indeed. it
would not be a decent support for a
single man. To demand Tread
enough to sustain life is no, a politi.
cal action, and all charges Of such in.
tent are not only cruel, and bascIess
but i%ncendiary.
NJ. d. Ratchtord, president OF the
United Mine Workers Of America
states the case IN plain and truthful
language when he says: "Our pres.
ent suspension is not Of IL choice.

Gus reduction in wages until the point

Fact. for SILVER Ne. to Know.

The financial question brings up
50 many points for discussion that
these facts will prove OF interest
md use to many who de slro 10 be in
formed On the subject:
l.. No boad OF the United States is
by Law payable In gold coin, but on
the o~oStrary, every bond Of the Unit
ed States is distinctly made payable
IN any cnin Of the United States
either gold or silver, OF the standard
value which prevailed on the lith II
July. 1870. This fact Is stated on
the back Of every bond OF the United
States in existence.
:. Cntil i&So every bond OF the
United States was payable in gold or
silver coin or legal tender treasury
notes, at The pleasure O: the govern
menr. They we're expressly made so
payable in the several acts OF Con-
gres which authorized their issue.
J. No treasury note OF the United
States Is now or ever has been pay
able IN gold coin AL such notes
we're made payable at the time OF
their issue In whatever we're dol
lars under our Law. The resumption
act OF 1915. which fred the time when
:heiE redemption should begin, made
them payable in coin Of either gold
or silver from the first OF January
1879.
/. Silver dollars are by law au unlm-
tied legal tender L the psymeutot all
debts, public and private.
.. National bank notes are re
deenable in an! Lawful money 81 the
United States, and OF course this IN
cludes greenbacks. NJ na6npal bank
is required by Law to redeem any OF
Its notes either In silver or in gold
coin.
There Is not in any Law OF the Unit
ed States. either directly or by n
inference however slight. any require.
ment that the United States. shall
redeem any bond or note in gold coin
IN preferences to silver coin. Silver
coin IS a full redemption money. and
may be lawfully used in payment OF
any obligation by the United States.
.. No taxes or duties on imports
are payable TO the United States in
gold coin. Internal taxes may be
paid i'll gold, silver. nr greenbacks.
Duties on imports are payable either
In gold or silver. or silver certificates
but not III ~greenbacks.
s. The coin notes OF the United
States issued under the Sherman
purchase law are redeemable in gold
or silver coin at the option OF the
Secretary Of the Treasury. and such
is the language OF the Law under
which they are authorized. They
were issued solely for the purchase
