Nail company, el which (loneral Iloaver is
president, sent out by David Halnea a mas
ter workman of Laber assembly 2,333 el
Ilottefonto, has aroused much 111 feeling
among the Knight or Laber In that region.
Thy circular Is signed by a number of the
workmen el the llottefoulo Iren and Nail
company, and, under an arraugoiuent with
the Republican state oemmltteo, has been
mailed toevory Laber assembly In the state
In circular form and in large number. This
circular says:
It 1 a wicked aud malicious falsehood that
any employ oel the company was ever of
fered or evor received slore or ders In pay.
ment for wages. The Heyt coupon system,
In use at the store, Is the best system we
knew of and is far suporler te passbooks.
We are paid In cash en monthly pay days,
and can draw cash at auy tlme during the
mouth. The ceuwu system Is only used
when woprefer dealing at the stere, and that
Is entirely voluntary en our iwrt. The ay,
tern avoids keeplng accounts by the
werkliigmen. Our employers tuauguraled
the system at the suggestion and request or
some or our workmen. They have always
txen witling te abolish it If the empleye had
made the request. Te say this statement
iKars any relation te llie ihIIeus slore order

Knights of Iaber, as well as upon Goneral
Heaver a an empleyer of labor."
KNIOltTS Of I.AllOlt et'i'i:.viini).
The circular Is the first political paper ever
distributed te the Laber assemblies of the

refused circulation among the assemblies,
simply because they were a llagrant violation
of the established law of the erder forbid
ding the introduction of any partisan politics
lu the assemblies. The partisan circular thu
sent out ha called out a ceunter statement
from seme llfty mombersef Laber Assembly
2,333, embracing both Republican and Dem
ecrat, In which they doprecate the Introduc
tion or politics In the order, and especially
dissent rrem tlie statement that the as
sembly could In any way sanction the use
of stere orders In tiaymeiit of labor, and they
arraign Maxter workman Haines ter viola
tion of his elllclal obligation In signing and
Issuing a political circular. On the subject
of the trade coupons used by the Ilollelento
Iren and Nail company, thu ceunter circular
say:
"Wofurtherdoclaro that the Invitation In
that paper te Knights of Laber te apply te
Assembly 2,333 rer a vindication of the pay
system et the Ilellefonte Iren and Nail com
lany Is entlrely unauthorized by any action
of that assembly aud would certainly meet
with the answer from that Ixxly that ene of
the fundamental principles et the order Is
that nothing but the lawful meney of the
country should Is) used ler the payment of
working poeplo and that the use or store
orders ler that purpese Is a fraud upon labor
anil a violation el the law.
"In conclusion we assert, from reliable In
formation, that this paper vindicating the
stere erder syslem was circulated through
the nail mill for signatures at the Instance of
a Republican politician working for the Re
publican state committee, and, such being
the fact, It rati be looked upon only as a po
litical scheme, and lis circulation among
Knights or Laber can be viewed in no ether
light than as an attern pt te prostitute thelr
order te a political purpose. Any member or
the erder desiring Information concerning
the trade coupon nyntem can have It in plain
terms by applying te the undersigned mem

they say In sutistance that tlie circular letter

that an unceasing battle has been waged ler

the law Impeses upon all circulating medium
that is represented as money. When the

they represented se much cash and were a
convenient cash circulating medium tur the
convenience et workmeu.
II n circulating medium in the simllitude

the company publicly declared that they
were simply cash orders, the collector of in
ternal revenue for the district Invostlgated
the subject and decided, upon the statements
or the parties Issuing them, that they were a
circulating medium and assessed the law
ful tax upon them. When net! led or the
tax, which was teu lr cent, en some feO,lH),
the elllcers et the company appealed the
case te Commissioner Miller, or tbe Internal
revouue department, en the ground that the
coupons are trade or store erders and net a

prices were f 1.01 and $1.01, and In 1877 they
wero almost the same, but In the Intervening
years tbe lowest prices ranged between 80
and IM eenls. In 1878 the prlce lell below 80,
but afterward the figures wero mero satisfac
tory te the farmer until 18x1 when the liar,
vestlng of an immonse crop (612,000,000
busbels) sent down thotirice te the llgures
which we have quoted. The ran go In 1881 at
Chicago was fromeOK te !! and last year
It was rrem 72Jjf te Hi;.
The low prices e! December, 188-1, wero
due In great ineaaure te the sire of the crop.
The crop or 1885 was only 3r.7.000,000 busbels,
or 155,000,000 busbels less. This shortage was
caused by the fallure or winter wheat. The
latest reports or the agricultural bureau In
dicates that the crop Just harvested amounts
te about 57,000,000 bushels.
The recent decline of prlce seems te have
been caused by a falling eIT or the demand
for expert. This demand we brisk In July
and August, the quantity or wheat (Including
flour) exported In these months having been
about 27,000,000 buahelx, whlle In the corres
ponding month of last year the ex perta were
about 12,000,000. Theso large receipts In
Kurepean markets, and tlie continuing large
deliveries at our home ma-kets rrem first
hands, with falling prlce he.'e, soem te have
induced foreign buyer te suspend operations
for a time, probably bocause they wero un
willing te buy largely en a falling market.
Hut It soems te be admitted that Kurope will
require an unusually large supply of wheat
lrem abroad this year, and for this reason It
Is probable that the exjxjrt movemont will
seen be resumed.
Wheat at 70 cents lu Chlcace irives the far-
mer very little for bis work, lu most cases
the preducer at theso prices cannot rocelvo
mero than the cost or production. If It wero
probable tbe prlces would remain at this
level for seme months, the acreage or wheat
would be greatly decreased next year. A re
vival of tbe expert demand will, hewever,
give the farmers better return for his labor,
and unless the estimates made by foreign
authorities are all misleading, that demand
must seen Increase. Still, It (would be well
ler the farmers of the West te understand
that the days of "dollar wheat" In thelr
chief market are geno, In all prebabllty never
te returu.

and upon her execution the stock was levied
upon and sold. It was claimed that there
was at least $10,000 worth et goods which at

The Ulatne Republicans of this city are
making dOHjKsrate ellerts te have a crowd lu
this rity en next Monday. The old mana
gers who were always for the Plumed Knight
and solid ngalnst Heaver, are doing all In
their pewer te give Hlaiue a "glorious re
ception." They care very little about Heaver,
but no stene will be left unturned te furtber
Hlalne'a chances for the presidentl.il nomina
tion In 18S8. Among the prominent men
In the movemont Is Lewis S. Hartman, who
has always been a frlend of HIalne and
Is anxious te show that the poeplo of this
county are "fur" him. Lew also wants te
be prothenotary and Monday will be a big
day for his quiet work. Tem Cochran,
chairman or county committee, who nees that
Reaver's chances are very peer and that he
must have aid, is making the greatest ell'ert
or his I He. Kd. Martin Is almost wild, and be
and Lew Hartman visit Philadelphia nearly
overy afternoon. Harry Schroyer has no
time for llowerser big pears just new, but
keeps his herse en the galep around town
all day long "making arrangements." Last
evenlug as he was driving up North Queen
street his horse slipped en the Belgian blocks
In front et the Fraukllu house. Fer a time
the animal steed en his bead, and he was no
doubt wonderlng what caused the sudden
rush In business. This same old nag will be
seen en Monday with Harry and they will
make a striking picture.
The yew Kra wants revenge and they con cen con
tlnue te assist the boom by trying te show
through blustering editorials that the state
Is solid for Jimmy. The young men are
busily engaged trying te make thetnsolves
believe that thore is a Yeung Men's Itepubll

that all cannot be previded with work,

of that class are busy stirring thomaelves.
The J'xtunmcr wants the all'alr te be a suc

many difterent reasons for doing se. A
promlnent Republican politician who was
denouncing lllalne last night said that if the
Malno man was se anxious te soe Heaver
olected he should have come bore In 18S2.
Instead of that Blaine's frlends assisted in
