AN IMPENDING MALADY.

The organs of the bank trust
are jubilating over the return
of confidence as indicated by
the increase in deposits in the
national banks. According to
the report of the comptroller
of currency there has been an
increase as compared with last
year, of $102,Q00,O00. Just
where the cause for rejoicing
comes in, however, it is diff
cult to see. It is true that the
increase stated has been re-
ported, but the banks of New
York City alone show an in
crease of $116,000,OOO, so tina,
outside of the financial me-
tropolis there has been an
actual decrease of $14,OOO,OOO
The same is true of the loans
and discounts. While New
York alone shows an increase
of $66,OOO,OOO the net increase
is only 100000, so that for all
the rest of the country there
has been an actual decrease OF
$59, 100000. If this means any.
thing at all it means that, as
in panicy times, money is still
piling. up in useless boards al
the financial centers while the
industries of the country are
running, or rather stagnating
along on less money than ever
before. !.
Money is often said to be the
blood of the economic world
In the case of a human. being
such a congestion of blood al
the vital centers of the nervous
system, if prolonged to any ex.
tent, would result in brain
fever. The illustration is apt

in this case, the result when il
reaches it's final climax
is most likely to be in the
form of the "braining fever"

STILL TRYING TO DECEIVE.

The gold press is persistent
in it's efforts to humbug people
into the belief that the rise in
the price of wheat kills the sill:
yer argument that cheap
wheat was the result of cheap
silver. The New York World
comes at the question with
this sophistical query: Il
IF short crops in competing
countries produce high prices,
why do not large crops in com
peting countries produce low
prices"
In other words, "Why were
not low prices produced by
large crops in competing coun-
tries?" .:s<
They were. The World has
completely obscured, in : it's
query, the argument of the sill
yer men. Present high prices
for wheat, instead of destroy
ing, emphasize the claims of
the silver advocates. 1t is our
contention that the large crops
of wheat in India was the di-
rect result of cheap money. In
years gone by cheap silver
brought about an abundant
production of wheat, and this
increased supply of wheat de-
pressed it's price. The present
situation instead of overthrow
ing our argument, emphasizes
it; for it has only been when
nature steps in and by Destroy
ing the wheat crop in the sill
yer countries, breaks the rela-
ton in the worlds markets of
wheat to silver, that the prices
of those articles part company.
That man is powerless to de-
press prices who has nothing
to sell.

DULUTH, MIMI, Aug.

DULUTH, Mlnn., Aug. 81.
To the Editor of the Labor World
went with my horse and buggy to
Superior last week across the new Du-
luth- Superior bridge, which is indeed q
grand structure. I found on going
oyer that the Bridge company had given
the people the privilege of paying toll,
whenever they 60 over the bridge, in re-
turn for the fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars which the city of Duluth spent
in condemning right Of way and making
streets to get to the bridge. This priyi-
lege is highly appreciated by everybody.
It brought to my mind very forcibly the
fact that the Duluth Street Railway
company has what the lawyers term
"vested rights" in Duluth. don't
exactly know what they mean by vested
rights" neither am I certain that the
lawyers know, but they call them
"vested rights" I do know, however,
that they have good tracks, good cars
and good service, and it occurred to me
that it might be we'll If the council
would pass an ordinance compelling
the people to use these good things, for
there are good many people who walk
on the streets where the good cars run.
some ride bicycles and few ride in bug
gies and carriages, and it don't seem
right and fair that the people should be
allowed to use these streets and not pay
the Street Railway company, when they
have their good tracks, good cars and
vested rights" On second thought, it
might be better it the Street Railway
company would 60 to the courts and get
an Injunction against the people using
the streets without paying the company
for doing 50. Not being lawyer, I do
not feel competent to state which would
be the best course to pursue, but some
thing ought to be done to protect Gil
Hartley and his pals.

How cool we all take this
Hazleton massacre? There is
no Phillips, or Sumner, or
Greedy or John Brown to blaze
with righteous wrath at this
monstrous display of inhuman-
ity. The American people are
hardening to scenes of car
mage; we are ca1lous to the
pitiful woes and brutal wrongs
inflicted by tyrants at home on
the ignorant and helpless. A
few months ago our big dailies
were lurid with justifiable in
dignation over the wrongs of
Cuba and Greece, The faint
est murmer hardly rises from
the most pretentious of them
at this slaughter of unarmed
men, in our own land, in the
midst of the very cradle of
Liberty.
Is there no hope? Many
there are who would gladly,
even at this day, bare their
breasts to the carnage of war
in defense of human ri ghts
but they are as but one among
a thousand. Injustice, com
mercialism, animalism has
eaten out the heart of Ameri-
can manhood and left in its
stead an empty shell that shell
tiers the soul of pig Eat
drink, and climb, if necessity
says must, the weary tread mill
that leads us towards a plenty
that we can never reach. That
is the life of millions, and as the
wasted years slip swiftly by,
each one of them leaves us as
a whole less anxious about the
institution, the traditions OF
the hopes of our country's
founders. -
The old fire-eaters of the
South, whom we found later
could fight just as hard as they
could talk, used to call us in
the North a race of traders
mercenaries, who had no stom.
achs for anything nobler than
a bargain counter. They were
right as to New York and some
other commercial centers
where the real spirit of our
revolutionary ancestors was on
the wane; they made a mis-
take, then, though, when by the
standard of their New York
acquaintance, they judged the
common people of the whole
North. In the thirty years
that have passed since human
rights were made the target of
tyranny's bullets, has the whole

industrial level, been Gotham

racy must have leaped with
Joy at the whiz of bullets of
their soldiery, as, at the sher-
ifs command, with the scythe
of death, they moved down
human beings because they
dared to exercise their right to
travel public highways. The
heart of the patriot stands
still as he essays to tell him
self where all these things will
end. We, who have declared
our fealty to the eternal prin-
ciples of the brotherhood of
man, as we ponder on our in
action, feel like guilty towards
who hesitate to strike the death
blow when treason to all that
is worth saving in modern So
ciety, stalks boldly red handed
through the land.
All, but some one says, the
Hazleton victims are ignorant
foreigners, what difference
does the life of a dozen or two
of such cattle make?
Nosmatter. They were hu-
man beings, members of the
brotherhood of humanity,
Americans from choice, not by
accident, and entitled. to all the
consideration of him whose
progenitor signed the declara-
ton of independence. They
were not shot down because
they were foreigners, nor be-
cause they were bad or danger
Gus citizens. Their crime was
sympathy for their fellow
workmen. In spite of the fact
that they were foreigners, even
though to that had they added
the grossest ignorance, the
most revolving customs, the
most debasing opinions, not in
the least would they have been
molested so long as they
evinced no interest and no con-
Germ about the mutual prosper
ity of their fellow toilers. They
had committed no crime. Not
even in Pennsylvania is it con-
trary to law to walk the high
ways accompanied by ones
neighbors; they were e not
armed, even. the Associated
Press, the most malignant foe
| of the common people, admits
that there was not a weapon
on all the victims of that mas
sacre more dangerous than a
penknife; nor, if we are to be-
1ieve the same "unbiased' au-
thority, is there any truth in
the sheriff's tale that he was
roughly handled. Since when
can a mob of Poles and b.
hemians jump all over a man
and leave not even a dust mark
on his clothes? s..
No, the slaughter was cold
blooded, premeditated and who
knows that it was not ordered
beforehand by that subtle
power that for thirty years has
been gradually sapping and
mining every valid stronghold
of popular liberty? The end is
not yet. AS man lives the day
of retribution shall come.
"They who take the sword
shall perish by the sword"
The generation now passing

against nature - industrial
