STEEL MILLS CLOSED
Failure to Agree on a Wage
Scale Results in a Gen.
eral Shutdown.
Differences So Great That a
Protracted Struggle Is
Anticipated.
Twenty-Five Thousand Men
Directly Affected by the
Suspension.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., July livery mill
in the United States whose wage scales
are under the jurisdiction of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers shut down last night.
These mills altogether employ $4,000
men who are members of the Amalga-
mated association, besides those who
are not. The general shutdown took
place on account o. the failure
of the hmalgamated association
scale committee and the manufac-
turers to agree on pudding
rate at the conference held here. They
were I'm session all the afternoon asnd
did not get any further than. the pud.
ding rate. The committee held out for
$3.50 ton for pudding and. the mani.
facturers refused to bulge from, their
stand for 81. An adjournment sine die
was finally taken, each side to let the
other know when it had experienced q
change of heart. All the visiting man.
ufacturers and delegates left at once fer
their homes.
StruSSle frOmlses tO be SrOtfacJcOs
The wage struggle promises to be
protracted because of the wide diver
gence between workers and manufac-
turers. The steel, sheet iron, tin plate,
flint glass, bottle blowers and window
glass workers are all interested in the
outcome of the wage conferences being
held. The manufacturers have been
late to call for meetings and reluctant
to sign when approached for settle
ment.
The suspension of work in the steel
mills, with the addition of the coming
big strike, will be the biggest suspension
of business at one time for years past
If the coal miners strike materializes
on Saturday the number Of men out of
employment this week by reason Of
these labor agitations will reach the
high figure of at least 200, 900 men.

the Measure in a Two
Hour Speech.

WASHINGTON, July las result Of
,be rapid work on the tariff bill during
tL,day the close Of the long debate in
the rpate and the final vote on the bill
e felt to be very near at hand. Two OF
the most important provisions-those
rlsting to the Hawaiian treaty OF reci-
prcity and the duty on coal--were per-
fected while another source Of much
cOnfict-the reciprocity section-was
matured by the finance committee and
presented to the senate. Aside from
these larger items great many minor
ones which have caused more or less
conflict were disposed Of. The Ha-
vaiian provision of the house bill was
restored after brief debate and
without the Formality of a Vote.
This has the effect of leaving the Ha-
waian treaty of reciprocity in full force
and effect During the day Mr.. Turpie
lind spoke in support Of the amend
ment for a per cent tax ON inherit
ances. His speech was notable for it's
picturesque metaphors and the virulence
Of his denunciation of the pending bill.
Mr. Turpie spoke about two hours and
received close attention owing to the
Icturesqueness of his utterances. He
closed with a reference to the silver
question, asserting that there was no
more right to abandon the free coinage

Facts Worth Considering,

In 1878 the production of gold was
500, 600, 600; i'll 1897 it is $240, 600, COO
In 1913 the bullion value of the silver
dollar was &l.O04; in 1897 it is 40
cents. In 1878 the per capita circula-
tion i'll the United States was SIS; in
1897 it is $22. The loss on the silver
purchased from 1878 to 1898 to main
tain the price Of silver exceeds $780,,
600, 000 or about the value of one-half
of the cotton crop.
The amount of money in circulation
is greater in geld standard countries
than in countries having silver stand
ard.
Labor and farm produce in Mexico arc
paid for in silver dollars, the value Of
which is steadily declining
In eras of deprecated currency the
last thing to advance is wages; the first
thing to advance is property. In gold
standard countries capital is abundant
and the rate of interest low In silver
standard countries capital is scarce and
the rates of interest high. louisville

1ntsrest Lower SINCE 1906.

The Engineering Record publishes a
table showing the rates Of interest at
which various cities have borrowed
money this year and last year, the les
son of which is that money is cheaper
and cheaper and that the capitalist gets
a small return for its use. Baltimore,
for example, got money in November,
1896, at 3.34 per cent, but in July,
1897, got it at 3. .2G per cent. Brooklyn
and New York got loans this summer
slightly lower-at 3.21 and 3.13 Per
cent respectively-but all the other
eight cities mentioned paid more than
Baltimore. Milwaukee paid 4.20 per
cent in August, 1896, and 8.55 per cent
in August, 1897. Provided the lender
has assurance that he will get his
money back he nowadays parts with it
"dirt cheap" one may say. The day of

Why Goldbugs Rejoice.

Ono of the silver organs asks plain
lively why the heartless goldbugs should
rejoice when silver declines. Is not sill
yer one of our products, it asks, and is
not our national wealth reduced when
silver goes down? If silver were treated
as the commodity which it is. and there
were not strong political effort to up
set business i'll order to give it, or try to
give it, fictitious value, every gold
standard man would be rs sorry to see
its price decline below the profit point
as he is to see iron or wheat decline be-
low the profit point But as the silver
ties are trying to force silver into mon
etary use at value far above it's real
worth, or to upset all prices and scale
down all obligations, and bring about a
commercial chaos, they must excuse the
gold standard men for rejoicing in ev
cry incident that makes those injurious
purposes more difficult of accomplish
ment, and the continued decline of sill
yer does that.
The cost of producing silver has been
declining, and so far as the decline III
its selling price is responsive to
this it is not disastrous to the miner
and is highly favorable to all per-
sons who have occasion to use silver III
the arts, and to this extent the decline
is public benefit New York Journal
