BIRTH OF THE SILVER PARTY

The Lyon Comfy Times has the
following account of the birth of the
Silver party in Nevada:
On the 5th day of April, o a
lew Daytonites were DISCUSSING the
political situation, and denouncing in
no moderate terms the treatment the
Silver States had received from both
the Republican and Democratic part
les, In the crowd was J. H. Rae.
who declared that he believed the
time had come for independent action
on the silver question. He proposed
TO circulate a petition for signatures
TO that effect, and was ridicuIed bv
some and urged 10 do SO bv others
Il petition was drawn up, however.
mat day, and before night it was
signed by n1ne-tenths Of the voters in
Dayton precinct, and inside of three
days there were but three men in
Dayton who had not signed the ne
tltIon. The petition declared for
Tree coinage of silver and pledged the
Slgners to vote for no man in anv
party for any office who was not
known to have d record in favor of
hat move. Attached to the petition
was also a call tor a mass meeting to
be held at the Court House on Satur-
day evening, April 9th, 1902. This
meeting was attended by evervbodv.

vada.
1t was not the purpose of the league
al that time, to organize a distinct
party from the two old PARTIES as if
was believed that the point aimed at
could be reached by forcing either
one or the other party to give the
people what was demanded. The

Camp life grows, terribly monotonous, and

sides great many papers, etc, over 4O,0 600
good books have been given out. There is
such variety of thesss books as to meet the
religious needs Of mahy different classes OF
men; and all are written in such style as to

who have not understood what class of men
go to make up the United States Armies. 1t
is the testimony of those who have observed
very carefully that the books are eagerly

served
1t is more difficult to carry the benefits OF
the Commission work to the sailors but a be-
ginning has been made in this direction.
Secretary Long has given his consent for a
work on board the ships and has given a
Chaplain's commission to a representative OF
the Commission at Key West. From this
base the good literature will be sent to all
the war vessels. Ten thousand books have
been sent to the Philippines.
1t is believed that all who have the best
good of our soldiers and sailors at heart will
be glad to help on this work. The financial
support required is not large in comparison
with some other kinds of work Several
thousand dollars have already been given and
more is needed. All contributions sent him

A Veterans Propositions.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Would it
not be good idea for all the veterans to
stand shoulder to shoulder and ignore all
elections of all kinds-National, State, Mu-
nicipal-until we get what are our just dues.
The present Commissioner of Pensions
should be given ticket by the shortest route
back to Tennessee; or, if he wishes to remain
IN office, and wants to curtail expenses, let
economy" commence with him-let his
pay be 50 a month. If the Government
wants to curtail expenses, let it begin with
the big officials, not with the poor veterans,
who have given to the other their homes,
life and everything they enjoy.
Give Us service pension of S12 month.
Do away with "red tape" and Examining
Boards Of Surgeons, the Special Pension Ex-
aminers, and the spies set to watch the old
veterans.
Let our next National Encampment look to
these things RIGHTS.

On the morning of the Sd we took our posi-

miles west of town From the time we formed
on our first line until dark it was one con-
tinuous and hard fight. Night found us
back on the fourth line in front of Fort Robi-
nette; this on account of superior numbers in
eur front. Hackleman and his Adiutant were
both killed in this days fight, and at no time
during the day did Davis's Division fall back
IN disorder. The lines were preserved, al
though we were compelled to fall back and
fight on four different lines.

Wilcox assumed command of the regiment.
During the night of the Sd the regiment was
moved from one point to another repeatedly,
and finally posted on the left of Fort Richard

When the enemy made the assault on the
forts the regiment on the right of Fort Rich

caissons, dashed through our regiment. and

to fall back, and went about 200 yards, then

Driving the Rebels From Their Works on
the Night OF May 10, 1864.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In all that
have seen written in THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE on the battles of the civil war / have
never seen any mention of the fighting on
the afternoon and night of May TO- 1864,
when the rebel works in our front near
Spottsylvania we're attacked and taken, with
nearly thousand prisoners, by part Of our
corps.
The brave Gen. Russell organized the as
sault, which was made by part of his divis-
ion (the First of the Sixth Corps, assisted
by other picked troops of our corps. After
the troops charged and held the breastworks
the Confederates pressed them on the fianks
very hotly, especially on their left, and our
regiment-the 1st u. s. Chasseurs, after
wards Goth N. Y.--were ordered to drive
them back from that part of their line.
| There was a long, narrow field in front,
which sloped gently up to the Confederate
position. We took sheltered position at
the lower side of that field, in strip of
woods, and waited until dark to make our
charge, as the enemy had full range Of the
field with rifles and artillery, making the
dust fly at lively rate from its surface, and
keeping up constant rattling in the branches
| overhead.
We were lying face downwards. I heard
| shot strike a branch, and at the same in
slant it struck Jim Shetenhelm in the sheul-
der. He was the next man on my right, and
l feared he was mortaily hurt. A comrade
helped him to the rear, and upon examina-
tien it was found, to his great modification,
that the skin was not broken, although his
blouse was torn. Jim was brave and good
soldier, and, think, is living yet.
| We finally made rush.and drove the
rebels from their>works on our right, which
we occupied until driven out later in the
night.

found myself beside young soldier who had
been severely wounded in the shoulder in the
first charge, and urged him strongly to 90 to
the rear, which he finally did, saving himself
from capture. l would like to hear from

was covered with timber, through which the

matter. We can see plainly
what should be done first. It
will be time enough to settle
that other question when we
come to it.
First of all we have to be
clear in our own minds what
is the nature of the monopoly,
that we may not be confused
by the chatter of the attorneys
of the Mesaba and Iron Range
railroads or the clamor of the
disposed mine owners for whose
interests we need have no more
concern than for the combina-
ton itself. The forgotten in
terest of the whole people is the
claim to which our attention is
due.

Debs' Sacrifice.

On the 18th of this month,
one year ago, Eugene V. Debs
received a sunstroke that has
impaired his health and no
doubt shortened his life. It
was IN the midst of the great
miners strike in the coal fields
of West Virginia. Early on
that morning Debs and the
writer started to cover the
Monongahela district of West
Virginia, and if possible to sus
pendoperations in all the mines
of that region until the miners
could receive justice and a living
pay. We commenced talking
to miners meetings at about 8
o'clock in the morning. At
noon we divided, one taking up
the valley and the other down.
At 2::30 in the afternoon Debs,
tired and worn out, for he had
already made four speeches,
reached Montana, a small min
ing camp in the lower end of
the district. A meeting had
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1898-07-30

a natural monopoly that can
not be abolished. The only
cure for it is not to try to abol-
ish it, but to convert it for the
advantage of the people. When
we do that-and government
ownership of the railroads is
the next step in sight-it will
be possible first to reduce rates
for the benefit of the public, and
still to have large residual pro-
fits-or rather monopoly dues,
for the common purse.
Last is the monopoly of the
iron and steel manufacturer.
When the state has the ore
monopoly and the carrying
monopoly thatproperly belongs
to it, the manufacturing mon
opoly will be found to be much
shrunken. It is because they
are not separated that the steel
monopoly is today the huge
creature that it is. Tribute
that pertains to the ore and
tribute that pertains to the
railroad appears in the divi-
dends of the manufacturing
corporations. Moreover by the
control of the mines and the
control of the railroads the
manufacturers are able to shut
out others from rivalry. They
cannot get ore on even terms.
They can be undersold at a
profit on a scale that forbids
them to figure at all. They can
be ruined if they venture to
dispute the field while the los
SEES in one branch of the bust
ness sustained by the monop-
oily are recouped by the profits
in other branches or even made
good from the tribute the indie
pendent purchaser must pay
the monopoly for his raw ma

been arranged in small grove
but the coal police had taken
charge Of it and had thrown
their dead lines across the high
way, and no one was allowed
to enter the grove or trespass
on the company's property.
When Debs arrived he found
the miners all in the middle of
the road, but fearless Debs was
not to be daunted by a few
Pinkerton hirelings of the coal
operators. He barred his head
and stood there in the middle
of the road, exposed to the hot
July sun for over two hours,
addressing the miners upon the
necessity of organization and
bidding them to stand together
in behalf of their honest rights.
But it was too much for human
endurance. Debs reached his
buggy, reeling under a sun
stroke. From the effects of
that he has never recovered,
although he would not give up,
and the next night found him
addressing a miners meeting
at Wheeling. From that mo-
ment he had to put on glasses,
and he has never been the
Debs he once was since that
memorable afternoon. Yet
there are those in the ranks of
organized labor, and even in
the miners union, who will
question and criticize this great
man who sacrificed a portion
of his life in their behalf.-W.
D. Mahon.

terial. Put all manufacturers
on equal terms and there would

terial. Put all manufacturers
on equal terms and there would
not be so much chance to en-
gross the field in which all
should have a fair opportunity.
But it must be admitted that
the whole difficulty is not thus
met, Great capital in itself
confers a qualified monopoly.
A comprehensive system built
up from the furnace-to the con
sumner presents obstacles for
successful competition. Sup
pose there were six corpora
tons with a capital invested or
represented of five or six mil
lions apiece. Suppose further
that there is competition be-
tween them. A seventh man
will consider long before he
puts up his five millions to try
competition with those six and
they in turn will stand ready
to lose colossal sums in driv-
ing him out of the market.
They do in this no more than
trades unions are willing to
suffer, when they go on strike
with all the risk of fearful los
ses rather than allow non-union
men to compete in their field.
So there is an ultimate prob
lem even after the state has
assumed the monopolies that
without dispute belong to it.
We haven't got to that yet. It
may be the province of the
state to interfere in that mon
opoly also. 1t may be in the
power of associated effort to
supersede these vast aggrega-
tons of capital without en-
ploying the force of the state.
1t may possibly be that they
will cease to be formidable
when no longer entrenched be-
hind the other monopolies by
which they have now seized
utter control of the situation.
For the present that doesn't
