or partially to the position 1t occupied prior
to 1879" The fact that these views come
from members of a British parliamentary
commission shows that there is some silver
sentiment III England. but ii does not prove
that the views are sound or logical. So far
as England is concerned silver was de-
monetized eighty years ago, and if hat is
the cause of the present depression of agri-
culture it has been a long time working.
On the other hand, agriculture is res3ving
in this country with a prospect of better
prices for this years crops than for many
years past. There is no connection between
silver and agriculture.

STRONG REVIVAL SPIRIT.
OId-Fashioncd MethOdism Manifest
ing Itself at Acton.

1t was a day of peace and rest at Acton
yesterday, the grove being almost as quiet
as some uninhabited forest. This was par
ticularly true in the afternoon, when the
entire camp seemed inclined TO take a nap.
Many Of the cottagers had been up late the
before, the regular evening service
having been followed by an extraordinary
aftermath of songs and testimonials as
well as by a watermelon party IL the
woods. The aftermath meeting mad been
a real rally in which the religious fervor
reached an unusual height and came TO an
end only by the evangelist i~nterrupting the
prayers and exhortations by saying: Let
us go out and march around Jerusalem"
over two hundred of the devout enthusiasts
formed In a long procession and made a
pilgrimage down the dark avenues. The
night echoes were awakened by the
spiritual song of the church and the cot
tagers retired feeling that a divine bene-
diction rested upon the camp.
Promptly at 6 O'Clock in the morning
Evangelist Hartsock set the old bell ring

AS stated in another article the abolition
of slavery in the British West Indies took
place legally on Aug. /, 1884, but the British
government appropriated 500. 600, 900 as COM
pensation to the slave owners, and the
slaves were to be "apprenticed'' to their
former owners till 1888, and in the case of
agricultural laborers till 1910. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that British emancipation
was a very different thing from that which
occurred in this country and there is no
particular reason why Americans should
celebrate it, especially as it is apt to draw
attention away from established dates in
our own history.

1t is said that a new map of Alaska, soon
to be issued by the General Land Office at
Washington, will show that the Yukon
river is in reality a vast bay, extending
three hundred miles into Alaska, with a
width of from sixty to one hundred miles
and great depth. Such a mouth as that
would indicate a river of great length. The
Amazon, which is ten miles wide five hun
dred miles from the ocean, has a total
length of 1900 miles, and is ~navigable for
large ships 200 miles from its mouth.

THE MORTON MEMORIAL.
The Grand Army Earnestly Desires
and Invites Cooperation of Citizens.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
To correct an Impression which seems to
be growing prevalent, that the movement
lately i~naugurated to build a monument to
the memory of oliver p. Morton is purely
a Grand Army affair. and that the members
of that organization intend to raise the
fund necessary to do the work entirely
within themselves, l would say that, how
ever pleasing it would be to the ex-soldiers
of Indiana to be able to erect a monument
in honor Of the creates citizen the State
has produced they realize the difficulties
Of the undertaking, and to insure the sue
cess of the enterprise they earnestly in
vite the hearty cooperation of every citi-
zen of the State, whether he be a member
of the Grand Army or not. oliver p. Nor
ton belonged to the people. He was of the
people, and his great work during the
period of the civil war was for the benefit
of all the people, not only OF Indiana, but
of the entire country. As has been stated
by one of the Indianapolis papers, a large
part of the FUND for the monument will
be contributed by the G.. A. R., but it will
not be expected of them that they should
give it all. 1t is the ambition of the COM
mittee appointed by Commander Dodge,
aud of the Grand Army, that the monu-
ment shall be a work of the highest art;
that it shall be superior as a work of art
TO any that has yet been constructed in
honor of a war Governor anywhere. To
make it so will require a vast amount of
patient, careful and laborious effort, and a
considerable sum of money.
The committee has not ascertained what
the probable cost will be, nor has it de-
termined on a plan for raising money.
Scu!ptors and architects will be invited to
submit plans and estimates of cost, that the
committee may decide upon the general de-
sign which it will recommend to the de-
partment for approval before advertising
for bids. In the meantime, l have no doubt
the would be glad TO receive
suggestions from editors and others inter
ested, concerning the design, location and
the method of raising money.
w. S. HAGGARD,
Chairman Monument Committee.

Workingmen and labor organizations of all
kinds should learn a lesson from the pres
ent strike. 1t had public sympathy from the
beginning because it was made for just
cause, and it has retained that sympathy
because the strikers have abstained from
violence. If they had resorted to violence,
as has been done in many former strikes,
they would at once lave lost public SYM
pathy and the moral support it gives, not
w~ithstanding the justice of their cause. The
lesson is that, other things being equal, a
strike is most likely to succeed if it keeps
strictly within the law.

Some of the latest arrivals from the Klon-
dix region report a spirit of revolt among
the American miners there against the
Canadian proposal to levy heavy royalties
on the output of the mines. They declare
the Americans will not submit to it. The
Canadian policy in regard to the product
of the mines has not been officially an
nounced yet, but whatever it may be,
Americans had better submit to it. The
Klondike mines are i~ndisputably in British
territory. and neither Americans as in
dividuals nor the United States government
can have anything to say in regard to
Canadian mining laws.

During 1892, when the country touched
high water mark of prosperity, the clear
ings of the New York banks aggregated
$50. 662. 1863. 2O2. The same year the clearings
of the London banks were $s1. 542. PSI, 47S.
The New York clearings steadily receded
until. in 1896. they were $2S,STO. 775, 1855; but
while those of New York had shrunken
nearly $1,000, OOO.o 600, those of London had in
creased to $S6, sos. O22, 1876. How much of the
London gain was due to the Wilson tariff
law cannot be told. but the New York
shrsEkage is chargeable to that piece of
legislation. The Bradford (England) paper
which called the Gorman-Wilson law a
gift of Providence may nave made a mis-
take as to the source of the gift, but it
was nevertheless a gift.

The advocates of free silver at 16 TO /,
whose numbers are rapidly diminishing,
will doubtless try to make the most out of
q supplementary report by ten members of

members unite in a statement that in their
opinion the existing depression in agri-
culture and in the price of farm products

gold standard. and as a remedy they sug-
gest the restoration of silver either wholly

sheep in the United States was 44.sSS, 1865,

While individuals will doubtless obtain
much gold in Alaska. the main reliance for
the constant increase must be those mines
in Colorado. California, South Dakota and
other localities where deep mines are
worked by corporations which have the ap-
planes for making it profitable year after
year to work low-grade ores. Such produc-
ton of gold is a business whose results can
be estimated as approximately as can those
of iron and copper mines. The mining of
gold will soon cease to be a matter of spec
ulation. The Geological Survey of the
looking over the gold territory to develop
it's value. Because of this accurate infor-
nation discoveries are announced of rich
ores every day in Colorado. such as that of
a scientific prospector named Herzinger,
who telegraphed parties in this city that a
new vein of ore yielding from twenty-seven
to 125 ounces of gold to the ton has been
opened just south of Lake City, Col. The
geologist who has studied the gold-bearing
country can judge very accurately of the
possibilities of new openings, so that there
need be no more risk in a company opening
a gold mine in the States mentioned than
in opening an iron ore mine in Minnesota,
Pennsylvania or Alabama. The output of
placer mines like those of Klondike will be
spasmodic, but that of the companies in our
own collaborating territory will be constant
and will increase as capital is invested.

The CLAUSE of the Dingley bill which au-
thorizes the President to make commercial
treaties seems to have attracted so little
attention that many are laboring under the
impression that no provision whatever has
been made to encourage reciprocal trade.
Such is not the case; the fact that it was
necessary to impose a high duty on raw
sugar will make the negotiation of treaties
more difficult, but the comforting of power
upon the President to remit 20 per cent. of
the duties imposed by the law to such ma
tions as will give us a corresponding adj
vantage in their markets offers an oppOr-
tunity to make treaties which will give
us an advantage in foreign markets. The
provision of the Dingley law referred to
gives the President power to transfer to
the free list articles now dutiable in order
to obtain concessions to American prod

1t is said that Mr.. Angell our new minis
ter to Turkey, carries with him to Constan-
tinople instructions to make a peremptory
demand on the Turkish government for the
payment of the indemnity claims for out
RACES committed on American citizens and
property during the Armenian atrocities
two years ago. The outrages consisted in
the destruction of missionary property and
the expulsion of missionaries. The facts
are we'll established, and the amount de-
manded as indemnity is $125,000. Heretofore
the Turkish government has ignored the
claim, but if reports are true it will not be
permitted to do so any LONGER. With it's
present naval force theo United States is
abundantly able to enforce a just claim
against Turkey, and probably the European
powers would not object to having the Sui
tan taught a lesson. Several of them have
similar claims against Turkey which have
received no more attention than that of the
United States, but for reasons of their own
they have refrained from pressing them.

The different wage committees of the Ma
tional W~indow-glass Workers Association,
who have been in session at Pittsburg,
formulated a new scale increasing the
wages of glass workers much above what
they were under the Wilson tariff. The
scale has not been given out yet, but it is
said to be commensurate with the antici-
pated Improvement of business and in
creased profits of manufacturer under the
Dingley law. The president of the associa-
ton is quoted as saying:
During the operation Of the Wilson bill
wages in many instances were cut down
80 per cent, and our new schedule calls
for a rate much higher than we enjoyed
during President HarriSon's administra-
for the manufacturers that we should be
entitled to our share of-the good things
that a Republican administration brings to
the industrial classes.
The Journal is not an expert in the mat
ter of glass workers wages and has no
means of knowing whether the new scale
is fair or not, but 1t has no hesitation in
saying that if the new tariff law makes any
material increase in the profits of the glass
business the workmen should get a fair
share of the increase. One of the best re-
suits of protection is, or should be, higher
wages, and a manufacturer who is not
willing to divide his prosperity with his
is not entitled to the benefits OF
protection.
