OBJECTIONS OF THE FEDERATION

REGRET FOR oFFENsE TAKEN
The Resolutions In Question Declar-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. = Samuel
Federation of Labor, has replied in an
open letter to Secretary Cages recent
letter taking exceptions to the resolu-
tons passed by the federation with
reference to the Gage financial BILL
Mr.. Gompers- says in part:
You take exception both to the po-
sttion which our organization has taken upon
your bill, as well as the language employed.
Even if you are justified In the one, you
certainly misapprehend the other. l submit
that you will seek in vain for single denun-
ciatory word either in regard to your motives,
your plan or your bill. We realize that
denunciation is not argument, but to declare
our position and the statement Of fact in
regard to a most important and far-reaching
measure, affecting and changing the financial
system of our country, can by no means
be construed as denunciation.
''Thcse resolutions declare against your plan
for more thoroughly committing our country
to the gold standard, a plan for destroying
our greenback currency and substituting bank
notes, plan in fact for weakening the con-
most important of all measures, the meas
ure of values, and Strengthening the banks
a pan aiming at what you call currency
reform and which we call bank monopoly.
THAT you should take offense at these reso-
lutions l regret, for the right to express
disapproval of the acts of their servants is

can people, and one you will freely accord.
We do not charge you with ignorance, rela-
tive or absolute allege any evil purpose,
or a 'perversity of motive on your part, as
implied in your letter, nor upon re-reading
the resolutions will you find them either con-
demnatory or denunciatory, as you say they
are The resolutions are declaratory OF the
views of the American Federation Of Labor
and are entirely impersonal, for Of all men
in public life, we have the greatest respect
for your probity and integrity.
''The products of labor are. divided into
three general shares. One share gees as
interest and rents to the money lender and
landlord, to capitalists who do not productive
ly use their own capital. who seek to avoid
the risk of production. A second share goes
as prifits to employers, third share gees as
wages to wage earners. The interest charges
and rents to great degree fixed, and
profits and wages subject to great fuc-
tuations. This being so, it is clear that
anything that reduces the total money value
of the products Of labor must
increase the share of the money lender and
creditor, though nominally fixed, aid decrease
the share to be divided among employers and
wage earners. 1t is equally clear that to in
crease the value of money must decrease the
value of the products of labor and therefore
enrich the creditor at the expense of the

has caused money to grow dearer, you must
admit that the gold standard has done in
jury to our people, brought distress to wage
earners, and employers, and discouraged en-
terprise. Our adherence to the gold standard
has caused money to grow in value and, OF
course, forced the things measured in money
to fall In price. However, 1t Is not alone
to the cheapening of the labor cost OF pro-
duction, but also to an actual appreciation
of gold that the fall in prices since 1872 has
been in great part due. And this apprecia-
ton has grown out of the decentralization of
silver, which has increased the demands FOR
gold. This Is question that every producer
can answer. Has the fall in prices curtailed
my earnings? II the fall in prices has been
due only to general improved methods OF
production q le5sening in the true cost or
production, he has suffered no loss from such

common to all gold-using countries. faIl IN
prices Of 20 per cent, has not grown out OF
improvement in machinery exclusively; that
the labor cost Of production has not been In
creased by one-ffth In these past years, and
that therefore the cause Of this fall in prices
must lie in what, IL not In dearer money, and
was due primarily to an appreciation in gold.
Changes in the value Of money have largely
influenced the movements OF prices during
the last half century and were great Factors
in the price movements during one long
period. During the quarter OF a century fol-
loving the gold discoveries in California
there was much progress In the line OF in
yention, much introducing OF labor saving
machinery, much cheapening ip the labor
cost of production. This. on your theory
should have caused steadily falling prices
But what happened? The outpouring OF gold
cheapened gold to a greater degree than
commodities were cheapened, and the result
was that prices were In general 30 per cent
higher at the end Of this period than at the
beginning. Then what happened? We, along
with many other nations, closed our mines
to silver. We increased the demand for gold
with the result that gold went up In value
and prices of commodities down. You must
abandon the advocacy Of gold monometallism
unless you can show that the characterization
Of silver and the doubling Of the demand for
gold resultant therefrom, has not caused gold
to grow dearer and prices lower to the great
injury to all producers Of wealth. You should
at least show that the perpetuation of the
gold standard will not result in making
money dearer and human flesh cheaper.
In the statement you recently made before
the house committee on banking and cur
rency in support of your bill, you say, and
repeat this truism: That the less the gov
eminent owes, the less 1t will have to pay.
Yet your plan involves the proposition of the
retirement Of our national paper currency

FASTENING CHARTER WORK.
Commissioners to Hold a Session
New Years Day.

The charter commission last night set Jan:
Thursday next as the date sor OF thu the asl
sderation of the charter now being pre-
pared By that time the commissioners be-
iieve they will have had sufficient time to
finish their labors, but to do this it is not
unlikely that an all-day session will be held
New Years day.
There are now in the hands of the print
ers about fifteen chapters of the charter. By
Friday there may be one or two more.
These chapters, after being printed, are hand
ed to the different members of the commission
for final revision, such members reporting to
the meeting of the commission any changes
which they may think desirable. In order to
finish with this work, Commissioner Hawley
last night moved that Friday night the COM
mission take up for final consideration these
chapters, adjourning Friday night until Sat
urday morning If necessary, and holding a
continuous session Saturday until the work
shall have been completed. This motion met
with the approval of the commissioners, and
it is therefore likely they will spend their
holiday putting the final touches on the work
which they have paid faithful attention to
for the past six months.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENSES.
Showing That VIII Be Made by the
Forthcoming Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The forthcoming
monthly statement of government receipts and
expenditures will show material increase in
the receipts from both customs and internal
revenue. Today's income from customs alone
was $735 567, the highest figures reached since
the new tariff law went into effct. Several
times during the last few weeks the customs
revenues have exceeded $500, 900, and according
to the expectations OF the treasury officials,

by 81, 800, 000 or S. 100000, which will leave a
surplus for the month. Independent of the
receipts and payments on account of the
Pacific railroad transfer, the total receipts
this month would have exceeded the expendi-
lures by approximately s1,75o,Ooo. The re-
turns from internal revenue sources show
as gratifying an increase, and 1t is not un-
likely that the December statement will show
an excess over November of 81, 900. Alto
gether the situation, SO far as revenues are
concerned, is very gratifying to the treasury
officials, who confidently predict that, with
the exception of January, when heavy inter-
est payments are due, there will be surplus
for each remaining month of the present fiscal
wear.

PRISON WORSE THAN DEATH.
Convict Krinzee Makes n Desperate

desperate attempt to commit suicide was
witnessed by scores Of people yesterday IN
front of the Milwaukee depot. Jacob hr,n-

was sentenced a few days ago to term OF
gixteen months at Saltwater for assault, was
by Tailor Duffield, accompanied by Robert
Washburn, the trio to depart for saltwater
IN the lbs train. When crossing Washing
ion avenue at Fourth avenue south, Krinzee
broke from the hold of the jailer and threw
himself headlong across the car tracks in
front of a rapidly approaching street car.
The alert TALLER, by the quickest action sue
eeeded in showing the PROSTATE man to one
tide of the track just as the street car passed
him. In regaining his feet, krinzee seemed
determined to end his existence in some man
ner, and became violent, striking at the
officer with his hand-cuffed hands. He was
Dver-powered by the combined efforts OF
Ieveral men, but another severe struggle was
had with him when putting him into the
coach.
Krinzee is the prisoner who refused to eat
ut the county jail some time ago, and it Is
thought that he is mentally unbalanced.
