The old woodland farmers were mostly
plain, social and non-aspiring people.
They were content with homely fare and
had little ambition for anything differ

peCted. There was not much money in
circulation, and there was little need
that there should be. Exchanges among
neighbors were effected by barter, and

armed force and the State militia in
times of labor troubles is only part of
the insidious programme to entirely
subjugate the workers of America for
the most debasing degradation.
Resolved, That we condemn most Sc
verely the wanton killing and wound
ing of the poor miners at Lattimer, and
will give our fullest help there to the
trades unions and the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor to raise money for the

UNION PACIFIC ROAD.
REORGANIZATION COMMITTEE
PROPOSITION
For the Settlement of the Debt to
the United States, 1t is Said,
viii be Accepted.

CHICAGO, Sept. pa special to the
Tribune" from Washington says:
The Union Pacific Reorganization
Committee proposition for the SET
tlemont of the company's debts to the
Government mortgages will be fore
closed, the road sold and the company
reorganized.
This statement is made on the high
est authority. For several days past
the President has had conferences with
the representatives of the company and
with the Attorney General, and before
he left Washington he agreed to the
sale.of the road and its reorganization
upon the basis which the Reorganiza-
ton Committee suggested The an
nouncement of the decision may be
looked for at an early date. 1t will
come in an order for foreclosure issued
by the President or the Secretary of
the Treasury.
The agreement to which President
Mckinley has decided to give his sane
tion IS the same which was submitted
to Congress by President Cleveland last
January. Under this agreement the
Reorganization Committee will bid for
the road under a foreclosure sale the
sum of S45, 754. .059. In order to give an
intelligible statement of what this bid
will mean to the United States. it is
necessary to enter briefly into the story
of the Union Pacific obligation to the
Government.
The principal. debt of the Union Pa
cific to the United States was S35. $50. =
312. A portion of this has not yet been
advanced by the United States The
interest paid by the Government
amounts to $50, ,954, ,S93. The whole in
debt9dness on the 1st day of July. 1897,
was S70. .494. 405. The sinking fund of
the Union Pacific in the hands of the
Treasurer Of the United States on the
same day was ST, ,73S, 200. After de-
Quoting the sinking fund.- which is an
asset ef the company, in the hands of
the United States for the purpose of
paying the debt of the Union Pacific
Comuany to the Government, the sum
of S2S, ,015, $50 remains to be paid. That
is the only sIm which Fitzgerald's Re
organization Committee as it is known,
will be required to pay the Govern
meut. The loss to the Government is
the difference between S53, ,000, 900,
which is the net amount due the Gov
