The New York Chamber of Commerce
has asked a numU r of representative
men in various professional lines to say
w hy ti.i y oppose free silver coinage.
Henry Clews sent ten reasons, which
are lUcause it would debase a large
an 1 ultimately controlling portion of
our circulation medium, drive out gold,
contract a Volume of ,,ur money, reduce
the bullion value of silver, make papei
money fall to the sun. value as the sil

prict s.ii.d w ae, s, diminish the means of
del. tors to pay d. Pts, break up our for

the reputation of the l uited States, and
because no ffective restraints could he
enforced to conhne coinage to the home
product.

may answer the purpose for which it
was intended.
It has since I e.-n heralded all over the
broad land as a vindication of Covernor
lfa-tir.gs and he may regard it as heinu
worth the powder r pired for the shot,
although it was evident to all nearby
spectators that the ammunition was fur
nished by the plaintiff.
The trial from the berinnini: to tin
end was a legal travesty and when the
governor of a great state sets the exam
t.ie and shows to what a trillinir use the
courts of his commonwealth can be put,
it is but small wonder that judges are
considering the propriety of wearing
gowns for the purpose of impressing
common jwople with the idea that courts
are to be regarded with a respect that
such fiascos as that of Friday tails to
inspire.
The trial had all the accompaniments
of a first class circus. The street parade
a special train loaded with an ex
governor, generals, colonels, majors and
other like attractions fresh from their
native jungles lent a glamour aud glit
ter to the iuceptiou of the great trial for
JoO.OOO damages which was sadly out
of joint with its finale and close, which
however, resembled the ten-cent concert
at theclo.-e of ail fh.-t class exhibitions.
Any of our readers who are at all fa
miliar with court trials will know that
when a slander suit, involving damages
laid it the sum of $50,1 K'O, can lie fin
ished in live hours selecting a jury,
two Ofiening Seeches from the. attor
neys, the examination of witnesses, the
charge of the court and the usual trim
mings, it must have been tried with a
vim and defended with a vigor worthy
of the importance of the case.
Tiik iron trade is the business baro
niete , i ecause its activity o- depressio i
retlects similar conditions in other in
dustries. I'nless the distribution of pro
ducts te large, and the people and the
railroad companies well employed, the
building and construction work which
the makers of iron and steel are chielly
dependent for custom would not be car
ried forward. The late Jay Gould, who
was one of the most successful bear spec
ulators that wall street has ever known,
is credited with the maxim that it is
never safe to sell stocks short when iron
is advancing in price. The present
flourishing condition of the iron industry
is a signal of danger to the speculators
who hope to fatten upon the wreckage
of values.
There are indications that this iron
trade barometer has only leguii to ri.-e.
The substantial improvement in iron
prices and in the wages of iron workers
thiit nas atreauT neen esiannsneii na.
come w ithout material aid from the pur
chasing departments of the railroad com
panits: and larger buying from this
quarter is likely soon to give fresli im
petus to the industry. The carriers
have been economizing for two years
past. Track replacement, new mileage
and the requirements for full equip
ment have been so long held down to
the "hard times" minimum that the re
newal of demand, when it shall b.-gin
in earnest, is likely to be very large.
It is evident that the recovery in iron
trade condition.- as yet retlects the effect
of business recuperation still in its in
fancy. The bulletin ot the American Irou
and Steel association announces that the
price of steel rails at the Pennsylvania
mills has litcu advanced from 22 to
$24 per ton, salt s at the latter figure
having heeu made w ithin the last week.
It is added that it would be diihcult to
place orders for immediate delivery at
any price. The heavy purchases of
rails by the railroads during the past
three weeks give unmistakable evidence
of the return of activity and prosperity
to the great transportation interests of
the country. If the railroad companies
shall now undertake to carry out all the
construction and repair work which has
been ostponed because of unprofitable
business during the past two years the
iron industry will receive a very large
volume of trade. Every indication
shows that the irou trade is entering up
on a jieriod of tremendous activity. As
an evidence of prosperity in the many
branches of manufacture of which iron
and steel are the basis this is a most en
couraging sign.
The Altoona Tritium', whose Republi
canism cannot be questioned, draws the
line on the questionable conduct of the
last legislature. It says: The tre
mendous Republican majority in Penn
sylvania at recent elections was apparent
ly interpreted by the Pennsylvania boss
ami his numerous following to give them
a brief to increase salaries, create new
othces, legislate away valuable franchises
and in other ways feather their own nests.
The result has lieen to arouse a feeling of
indignation which is not likely to die
out so long as a single one of the men
who have taken part in this carnival of
misrule has not been retired to private
life. Indeed if the voters of Pennsyl
vania were to condone such crimes
against good government, such wanton
violations of the constitution as have
lately occurred, they would be unfit for
self government.
The formulation of a superior court,
says the Harrisburg l'otriut, amounts to
a political crime. There is no necessity
for it. It is useless and extravagant
There has never Ieen any combination
of circumstances which could Ik? con
St rued in- a demand for an additional
court. No set of men have ever made
themselves so valuable to the state as to
be supplied with such fat berths at the
expense of the people. The superior
court Ls mearly a treasury parasite. It
was created essentially as such, and if
appro veil at all as such, it will be consti
tuted and buch it will always remaiu.

Hie Price of Coke .tlnj li" l.
Connellsville, Pa., June '23. The con

advance in tiie price of coke, which
would have been accomplished at the re
cent meeting of the operators in New

willing to put the price up to iJl.oO per
ton, but Kidney claimed that he had not
been treated fairly and was able to sell
all the coke he could produce at a profit
able figure. This put a damper on the
syndicate scheme and nothing further
has been thine. If the price of coke is
advanced now, the H. C. Frick com

thev are reluctant to do, because as soon
