HOW ABOUT THAT CURRENCY?

HOW ABOUT THAT CURRENCY?
Still no supply of currency by
Congress. And it is rumored that
there will be none until after the
first of the year, at least.
This when large part of the
country is not only off a specie
basis, but even paper money cannot
be had except at a premium.
Evidently the Interests" are
teaching the people a lesson. Our
troubles, they say, are caused by
radicalism. In the State Legislature
1874 bills against railroads were en-
acted this year, beside the national
hue and cry led by President
Roosevelt
That is the, monopolists' way of
stating the case. They attempt to
conceal the fact that the peoples
revolt is against ''private mono
poly abhorred by every liberty
loving citizen The basis of these
special privileges is private mono
poly in legislation, evidenced by the
refusal of Congress to furnish to
the country suitable supply of
currency
1t is an old trick, this lombard
ing of the people, by shutting of
the money supply, coupled with a
refusal by Congress to provide a
system that will prevent a reoccur-
renee. ALI of us remember 1898!
At that time panic was used to
force the repeal of the silver-pur-
chase law. Some of us remember,
too the panic of February, 1895,
for the retirement of the green
backs, which failed, and then Pres
ident Cleveland proceeded to re-
plenish the gold reserve.
Still earlier, February 1884, a
panic was used in an effort to re.
peal the silver-purchase law of 1878
and to increase the output of paper
money by private corporations. The
desired laws were not enacted, and
then to teach the people a lessol.
and also to defeat the nomination
of Mr.. Blaine, an advocate of the
free coinage of silver and retention
Of greenbacks, the supply of cur
rency was kept down and wide
spread panic for money ensued.-

EIGHT-HOUR WORK DAY.

This eight hour movement is not
q sentimental affair, but is the Sc
quence of an Intelligent interpre-
tation of history The wealth of
nation does not consist in the gold
and silver that lies buried in the
vaults of banks and treasures, but
in a high average intelligence and
the skill and labor that the people
are capable of expanding upon the
raw materials Of their own and
other countries. The invention of
improved labor saving machinery
while multiplying and cheapening
the product has lessened the skill
OF the mechanic and degraded the
operator to the victim Of a mono
tonous taskmaster. Therefore 1t is
necessary to decrease the hours; of

THE TOILERS AND THE SPOILER

Every man who ever earned q

patient effort, has built up BUSH
ness or won for himself respons-
ible position; every man who has
money in the bank or home to
live in; every man in business,
whether he be employer or en-
ployee, should take heed. For we
face a national danger that threat
ems to- stop our. earnings and wipe
out our savings; that threatens to
cut off our weekly pay envelopes:
that threatens to throw us into q

firing of the promises of old party
politicians, the organized workers of
Southern Ohio are threatening to bolt
and go into politics on their own hook.
The Trades and Labor assembly of

JOHN MITCHELL'S RETIREMENT.

while John Mitchell Is slowly recu-
perating from two severe operations at
the hospital in La Sale; Ill, the Unit
ed Mine Workers Of America are re-
luctantly receiving i. nominations Of
other men to succeed their long-loved
leader. His retirement despite all the
urgency a devoted following can bring
against 1T, is wholly due to his loyalty
to the miners whom he assures that
he is mo longer we'll enough to give
your interests the consideration their
Importance demands - :. 80.
The injury, which lays HIM aside at
the early age Of ST.. is said to be due
to strain in lifting a car when at
work In the mines. While the sur
geoncs gave promise of ultimate but
slow recovery, the close of his nearly
ten years leadership leaves him secure
in the possession Of the highest repu-
tation attained by any American labor
leader. = :,
His was as difficult, delicate and
dangerous a leadership as could fall
to the lot Of any man in public Of
flee. When it was thrust upon him,
there were only $4,000 miners organ
AHou III d low scattered local unions,
but they spoke the languages of no
less than % nationalities, and were
further divided Into II exclusive re-
ligious' scots. He now turns over to
the command OF his successor a rank
and file Of $4,000 men, thoroughly
organized as; the United Mine Work
ers of America, and wonderfully we'll
disciplined by the hard struggles
through which he has led them to the
triumphs: of self control and the win
ming Of their ights.-Graham Taylor

CHANGE TAX LAWS.

The strikes against high rents
are likely to be more useful in
calling attention to great abuse
of common rights than in any other
way. The slight reductions obtained
will count for little and not last
long. But there is way of strik-
ing against high rents that could
be made permanently effective, and
which would moreover not only re-
duce rents but increase employment.
Let the rent strikers use their votes
to alter the tax laws so as to tax
building sites heavily and exemp1
buildings altogether. 1t would be
easier than strikes, fairer than
striking and infinitely more effec-
tive. If building sites were taxed
heavily, whether used or vacant,
vacant Or poorly improved sites
would be ever so much cheaper
than now; and the only way tc
use them profitably would be t1
build good buildings upon them
IT, then, sites were cheaper anc
buildings were exempt from taxes
= the incentive to build would be
greatly increased. That would slim
ulate building, which would en-
nance demand for labor in ever,
employment.

Assuming that our interests are COM

:: On one side, our captain of indus
try" must give us sufficient rate OF
interest in the form Of wages or In
some other convenient and satisfac-
tory form; as will at least give us a
fair and comfortable living. This rate
OF interest must be higher, proportion
ately, than that which he himself y re-

vested; first, because. we, as human
beings, valued at, $4,000 each, are ac-
taally worth more than $4,000 put into
brick or. iron, in which his capital is
invested, and, second, because he will
never return the principal as it is rep
resented in the $4,000 workingman, as
ne would be compelled to do were he
to borrow that amount in the open
market, Just what the proportion of
interest shall be must be determined
both by the ability and the energy
each Of us-workmen and director
puts into our particular end of the job.
This implies that some of us, even
among the. Workmen, will receive a
higher rate of interest, or wages, than
others.
Furthermore, we have a right to in
sist that our, working conditions shall
be such as to permit us. to live in. a
manner which is fitting as normal men.
This principle must determine the
number of hours which We shall work
and the sanitary state in the shop The
director must protect us from every
influence which might lower the
standard Of living to which we are
justly entitled, whether that influence
be in the nature Of other workmen
who are antagonistic to- these interests
by reason Of Indifferent or depraved
tastes and rinclinations, or whether
that influence be due to any other
cause which mignt make us less hui

On the other hand, it should be
understood that the thousand of us
are ready to say that every talent
which we possess shall be put into
our common business. Not only must
we keep out every every negative in

upon US to contribute every positive
virtue which shall make our common
