which fits into sockets concealing fine

Chairman Stevens, of the National Sill
yer Executive Committee, writes from
Colorado that it is the desire of the silver
advocates to stop all monetary agitation
and ''give the administration the fullest
possible opportunity to restore prosperity
by its own means" This sounds well,
but the country would feel easier if more
practical demonstrations were given of
the fact that the silver leaders in Con-
gress were willing to follow the patriotic
counsel which Mr.. Stevens SO kindly
Youchsafes.

The decree of the President of Peru
suspending silver coinage in that coun-
try has just been received at the State de-
partment in Washington. Peru's mint has
been in existence over three hundred
years, having been established in 1865,
and the coinage of silver is estimated by
Muhleman to have been at an average of
5000 600 pesos per annum or 800, 900, 900
pesos for 300 years. The pesos is about
one dollar in value. The most of this
coin has been exported and prior to the
great fall in the price of silver was Peru S
most valued export The Peruvian inan-
cial experience, as the Times-Herald re-
marks, ought to present fine lesson to
the doctors of a fiat currency, who think
that all that is necessary to provide a
people with plenty of money, and conse-
quent prosperity, is for government to
set its printing presses in operation and
stamp its paper as legal tender money.
Peru, like many other governments in
history, has tried that policy and has
come to inevitable bankruptcy in conse-
quence, and at last finds out that her
only safety is to bring her financial sys-
tenn to a parity with that of the leading
nations of the world.

Every day spent by the Senate in dis
cussing the Cuban question adds a day
to the time the country must wait for the
completion of the business it was called
together to do, namely, the framing OF a
tariff bill. That is reason enough by it
self why the Senate should drop Cuba for
the present at least. Business all over
the country is hampered by the uncer-
tainty which prevails and which in large
measure proceeds from uncertainty as to
what sort of tariff law is to be enacted
by this Congress. Until this uncertainty
is removed the business revival which the
country is hoping for will inevitably be
delayed Men will not branch out in bus
mess until they know what conditions
they must meet. They will not start
up their manufacturing plants, or
run them at their full capacity, until
they can calculate upon the extent of the
foreign competition they must endure.
Business and industry must necessarily
languish until the tariff is settled. The
members of the Senate are fully cogniz-
ant of this, yet they fritter away their
time in useless debate over Cuba. Their
first duty is to their own country. When
they have discharged that will be time
enough to do something for Cuba. To
promptly vote $50, 600 for the relief of the
few hundreds of Am orleans in Cuba, and
turn deaf ear to the tens of thousands
of Americans in the United States who
are asking relief through tariff measure
is pretty poor way to exhibit patrio-

China is happy with two charmers. AS
the Boston Transcript observes, she would
have neither away, for while Russia a
year or so ago financed great loan for
China, England has just loaned the latter
sS0, 100000 for immediate needs. China
sits and smiles blandly while the rivals
pour golden shower into her Golfers and
it will be just like her to consider these
advances as bounties which entail no
recompense which she can possibly avoid.
The competition is profitable to China
and the repayment she will regard as the
affair of the lenders in which she will
have no concern unless she has to.

The Madrid press is beginning ''to ex-
press anxiety" This is not surprising
for the inhumanities and barbarities prac-
ticed in Cuba by the captain general from
which American citizens have not been
exempt, and which are recorded in the
official statements, of our consuls, are
likely to lead to such action
on the part of our government as to seri-
ously complicate our relations with Span
ish authorities.

If the sudden cessation of hostilities in
Greece was due to the command of Rus
STA, as intimated in the dispatches, it is
pretty convincing proof of what has all
along been suspected that the Sultan is
little else than the vassal of the Gar.
But if Russia has the power to suddenly
stop the Turk when he is flushed with
victory and just on the heels of refusal
to grant an armistice at the demand of
the powers, it would seem to follow that
it has had the power all along to control
him; that it might have put stop to the
Armenian massacres years ago and that
their continuance was due to its indi fer
ence, if not connivance. By her latest
exhibition of power Russia practically
assumes the responsibility of the Sultan's
bad actions for several years past The
Gar says almost as clearly, as if in
words, II could have made the Sultan
behave long ago, but for certain reasons
of my own l did not care to. -

The General Committee of the Uni
versal Postal Congress has decided that
currency fiuctuation presents an insur-
meuntable difficulty in the way of the
adoption of a universal postage stamp
Could this reform, which was given so
much prominence in the discussion pre-
1ininary to the meeting of the Postal
Congress, have been brought about it
would have been of immense advantage
not only to the commercial world but to
the people at large. There is reason to
believe that the work of the congress will
accomplish long sought reduction in
maritime rates, after vigorous opposition
by Great Britain and Il successful COM
promise by Belgium for a sliding scale
covering several years. Norway and the
South African Republic have already
agreed upon mutual concessions in postal
communication, and one of the indirect

PRESIDENT KNIGHTS VIEWS
STRIKE ORDERED AT THE BRAZIL
MEETING BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
General Suspension Agreed to by the
Pittsburg District Miners-Ac-
tiOn at other Conventions.

COLUMBUS July 3.-President Ratch-
ford, of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, says of the miners strike July A: THE
exact date of the miners national suspen-
sion has been a matter of speculation with
the newspapers of the country for weeks
past. We are very thankful to the press
for the friendly mention which this great
movement has received from every quar-
ter. With the press and the public it is
not question of whether it should or
should not take place, but rather ques-
ton of when shall the movement for living
wages be inaugurated? Independence day
was chosen as a day we'll beftting our de-
mand. 1t is the anniversary OF our political
independence; let it also mark the begin
ming of an era of industrial freedom and
as our revolutionary fathers freed them
selves from foreign rule let the miners of
the country free themselves from the dom
ination of their oppressors and strike for
ever from their limbs the fetters and
shackels Of slavery. Independence day can
not be celebrated by American slaves in a
more patriotic manner than to make proc
lamation to the world that they shall no
longer submit to industrial servltude. Our
present suspension is not of our choice; it
is forced on us by continuous reductions
in wages until the point is reached where
living by our industry is no longer pos
sible.
Our miners everywhere throughout the
country are ready for it as a last resort
and there is no doubt that it will be the
greatest movement of its kind this country
has ever seen. Reports from every mining
section indicate the temper and determina-
ton of the miners and shows conclusiyeIy
that this movement must continue until
living wages are established. The conven-
tiOn held in Pittsburg to-day will be unani-
nous in their support. Those miners who
have been forced by poverty and the cruel
ty of unscrupulous employers of that dis
trict to sign ironclad contracts will throw
them up, as they should do and join the
suspension. I am not fearful that the min
ers will in any case violate law or order;
this will be a peaceful contest. Violence
must not enter into it in any degree. Pub
lie opinion is with us; kilograms and let
ters from men in all walks of life are pour
ing in indorsing our actions. The great
body of the people is on our side and we
mean to retain their support by strict ad-
herence to law and order.
1.-THE independence proclamation of the
United Mine Workers of America is that
industrial despots and despotism must for
ever be suppressed With this inscribed on
our banner and with 300 900 men imbued
with spirit to carry it aloft success will

BRAZIL MASS MEETING.
All Miners Present Notified to Sus-
pend Operations at once.

Special 10 the Indiansp polls Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, July 3.-The block-coaI
miners of this district met here to-day and
were addressed by w. J. Knight, State
president of the United Mine Workers As
sociation. Mr.. Mcbride described the suf-
fering condition of the miners throughout
the country, claiming that this locality was
about the average, and the miners here are
in a pitiful condition on account of little
work and poor pay. He read the circular
issued by the executive officers Of United
Mine Workers ordering a general suspen-
sion Of work, and concluded his address by
saying that he believed a suspension would
be naturally beneficial for both miners and
operators. as there had been an overpro-
duction of coal for the past three years.
The markets are crowded and ii is iInpos-
sibIe to dispose of coal at any price he
said. His remarks were loudly cheered
showing that the crowd was in sympathy
with the movement 4. Wells, of Clay City
was called on, and said the miners in the
south part of the county were in favor OF
doing anything that would better their con-
dition, as a majority Of the workmen were
actually in want of the necessaries of life
A motion was carried by a unanimous vote
to suspend work. AS all the miners OF the
county were not represented, another mass
meeting will be held Monday 10 give those
not present to-day an opportunity TO vote
By the feeling of the meeting to-day il Is
evident that the miners will surely respond
to the call and make a firm stand In their
fight for better wages.
