now dividedinto tWorelamok , strikers and ,

as to the cause of our present troubles
and their per reriedy. That there is
a wider bre ach between the men who are
ipttling for , higher wages.and the •men
who employ them than th ere halt ever
been in this country is' unquestionable,
and that both parties are more, or less at

but on account of the threats of the law

but this is a gross wrong \to thousands of '
pier, wretched beings, who would will:
ingly earn their meagre living if they
could be secuked pcvdtively against vio

these men the labor "union "is an un

by the people 0-their only safety. Bien •
the farmers log% tedat long distances from
the mines are beginning to feel the neces
sity of armed defence against the marau
ders who prowtthmugb the, country un
der the guise of," unemployed lauorers,"
as it is not unusual for the latter to call
at houses, in some cases with liorths and
Wagon, and :demand" bread, meat * , pota
toes,• and other, provisions, ostensibly for
the relief of starving miners' families,
Which they afterwards huckster, and
spend the pribeeeds for drink.
When you said,in the, Press a few days
'ago that whatlbe Molly Maguire element
among the strikers ;wanted was , "'not
bread, but blood," you stated the case ex
actly. A gentleman within earshot from
where I am writing, who gave notice that
on the afternoon of the following. day he
would distribute one thousand -loaves of
bread to the needy poor, was 'coolly told
in reply that his attempt to. do this char
-table act would be at - the risk of his life.
"They did not-want his bread, and they
would shoot him if he offered it" - Mr.
IP—, the largest coal operator in this re
gion, and one whose generosity to his em
ployes is. roverbial, instructed his super
intendent to distribute a sum of money
among the most destitute families.' The
next day the superintemlent Inforined
"him that there were seventy-five bushels
of wheat lying in one of the company's
bares, and naked what he should do with
it. '" Have it ground into flour, and dis
tribute it 'among the men," was Mr.
,That night the barn and
its contents were burned by the strikers.
NO will a.return to prosperous times
in the coal /business ' remedy this evil.
Theirs men "struck,", and did their em
ployers much damage,-when miners were
mak ng from five to ten dollars per day—
actually from onehundred to three bun
dred'dollars per month! One of the crim
inal inisfortnnes of these people, oven'the
best of them, it seems, is that they are
utterly improvident, and, under the ty
ranny of the •.,‘ unions," -oven the small
rums they WV() are throWn away upon in
sane strikes.
Another reason for fearing that this
conflict will be protracted, if not irrepres
sible, is furnished in' the false training 'of
the rising generation. Antipathy of the
laborer towards the operator, and 'what
he calls the "capital class, is growing
more . bitter and deadly, from year to year.
The infant imbibes it at his mother's
breast. -It- is the-dominant element of his
education through childhood. and youth s
The train in which I visited Scranton on
, Thursday was assaulted with stones by a
herd of urchins from live to ten years of
age, and just before reaching the depot a
pistol was fired at us by a body of like
tender years. It took the secess ion seeds
sown by Calhoun and the nullifiers of his
day a generation to ripen into civil war.

The ultimate-result of these troubles it
is impossible to foresee, but .let us hope
'that it will be 'beneficial. The price .of
'coal has already been favorably affected.
That the threatened revolution - will do
something.towards wiping out, old party
lines is not improbable. Indeed, there
are significant illustrations of this already.
The name of Denioerat or Republican will
go for little in the man or thateWspaper
openly arrayed against the public • peace,

the misguided. men who believe that thil
Government can be overturned by a mob.
There is something in the 'Americ:in at

the dangerous men who are now seeking •
to fan it into life will assuredly in -the end
gather a harvest-of death.
\ I was in the Court House on Friday
morning, when the, fifty-three Scranton
Vigilantees were brought before • Judge
Harding on the charge of murder. Re-
memher, these men, in strict accordance
with law, took their lives in their bands
and at Midday on.that dark first of Au

had come forth to rob, murder, blitn; - and •

The Philadelphhk Times prints this
roniantie item: •
. . ,
A couple passed through this city
on their way home to the southern
part of the State whose story is a' re
markable one., Elizabeth Gates, ten ,
years ago a pretty girl of seventeen,
fell in love with George Mills, a
handsome young:Virginian, ivho was
a clerk in her .father's store. Her
father disapproved of the attachment
and furthered the suit of Amzi S. Ti,
ner, a well-to-do young miller of the
place. Elizabeth liked 1 im,' but 'de
clined to marry him on account of
her attachment to Mills. , Neverthe
less the paternal authority. was-exert
ed and she married Tiner in Septe ..-
ber, 1867. In October they , return -.
from their wedding tour, and a flew
11
dip later she disappeared with ills.
Three years later her father died,
but nothing wail \ heard of lie until
there - cisme a letter' from 14tehileld,
Minn., dated July 18, of the current
leer,
directed to her\fathe,r and ask
ing, his forgiveness. \Tie husband
and : the ezeentor of her fatheVs• et
tate, which had been leit\to the hut-
I band , went at once to \West anil
/
found her working ,u a . s e amstress.
Her story was a sad one. She had
gone to,lndiana t wit a divorce there
and then joined Milli in Central CitY,
Colorado,
where' they were married.
All went welruntil Mills began 'to
gamble. 'Then he, began to abu•'•
her, and finally forced her to accom
pany him to Utah. There he started
r faro bank and house of ill-fame,
and compelled her to work in the
kitchen for a year and a half until
the house was broken up. In 1871

-Young man, go west.' At noo
time since the utterance of this ad-
Vice by the late HoraCe Greeley to a
youngnian in search of employment
has it - had' more direct' application
than just now, when so many are
fruitlessly searching' for something
to do. Many would like to go West
and cultivate the land; andit is about
the 'best thing that offers; bat they
have little knowledge of just exactly
how to do it. The first step is to
selecl, 'the land to be entered, and the
next to make affidavit before' the
Registir -'or Receiver of the Land
Office in which the entry is to be
mule; setting forth that the appli
cant is - the head of family, or, is
twenty-one ormore years of age, r has
performed service in the army or:#a
vy of the United States, that the' ap.
plimtion is made for his exclusive
use and benefit, and that Sitislinade
for the purpose of actuatatttlinient
and cultivation, and not, directly or
indirectly, for the use or benefit Of
any other person. -On filing this af
fidavit the fee is $5 if the entry is
of not more than 80 acres, and $lO if
more. 4.. registry-fee-of $1 .for each :
`declaratoly statement filed ; a com
mission to be paid by the homestead
applicant, at the time of entry", of 1
percent. oir the cash price,as fixed
by law of the land applied or,
ands
like commission when the claim' is
finally established, and, the certificate.
issued therefor as thelbasie . of a pat
ent. There is also t appears, an ad
ditional fee of . for this final cer
tificate. But t e patent for the lad
cannot be o tained until five years
fromthe rim of the entry, when- he
must pro by two witnesses that he
'has reprded on the land or cidtivated
it di ring that period, that no part of
the and has been alienated, &c. The
) , w does not appear to exact any fee
for the issueof the patent. An hon
orably discharged soldier or sailor
has six months ( after locating his
homestead and filing a declaratory
statement within which to commence
his settlement and improvement, and
he may perfect his title in one year,
provided he served four years in the
army or navy, or was enlisted for
that length of time and discharged
on account of wounds received or
disabilities - incurred in the line of
duty. In other wOils; the term of
his service may be deducted from the
five - years' residence or cultivation
required' of other'persons.'? • .

THE DCM
• There is a greatsdeid of discussion
abont the remonetizaion of the silver
dollar, and the "dollar \ of our fore
fathers," but we apprehend very few
people comprehend the sub i jecL Re- .
monetizing the silver dollar means
nothing more than to restore '
the au
thority to the mint of the liiittedPates
to again coin silver dollars. On the
. 12th -of February, 1870 4 Congress
passed an act-by which the authority
to coin the silver dollar was with-'
drawn. Thatact which demonetized
the silver dollar, it is vow , proposed
'to repeal, and to makes the silver dol
lar a legal tender for the Payment of
all debts, as it was under" the act of
Congress;l793. •
The following is a history - of the
silver dollar of the. United -States,
and of the acts of Congre.sa hereto-I
fore passed in relation to it:
The first Coinage Act, that. 'of
April 2, 1792, authorized the coinage
of "dollars or units," "each to he of
the value of a Spanish milled dellar,
as the same is now current, and to
contain three handred and seventy
one' grains" and four-sixteenth parts,
of a grain of pure, or four hundred'
'and sixteen grains of standard;ail
ver." This was the original ',silver .
dollar." The . Spanish milled/dollar,
the'prototypnof the new "dollar or
unit," remained in Circulation and
was exprek4Wl'declared "by an ,net of
Congress of 1193, a i legal tender for
the payment of all/debts. The Act
of 1792, also authorized the coinage
of eagles, half eagles and quarter-ea
gles en gold,and of , subsidiary silver
coin . In the . adjustment of the two
metal'sby this legislation the ratio or
I to 10 / was established,. and the con
secrhence was that gold never come ,
late circulation. Practically the
country had a single. silver standard.
was shrive at a : premium until by an
Act of June 28N 1834, Congress re.
duced ttie weight and fineness of-gold
coins. = In' the Act of 1837, the / silver
dollar was 142tieed to 4124 grains.
The legal then was about I to
16, an adjustment which for a time
proved satisfactory. But the discov
ery of gold in California caused. oil=
verto rise in value, or In other words,
gold, at the . ratio then in 'force, be
came 'the cheaper metal. An Act at
„March 3, 1849, first authorized' the
coinage of a double eagle and ii gold,
dollar. Atter silver coins had almost
disappear,ed from circulation the
Act of February 24.1853, roluced
the half dollars to 192 grains' and '-
smaller silver coins in proportion,
These subsidiary coins were declared
-legal tenders for all 811131 b not exceed
ing live dollars. 'An act. - passed in
1857, repealed all former Acts,- de
claring foreign gold 'or silver coins a
legal tender in payment of pebts.
The civil war, led to the suspension
of specie payments and the issue of
legal tender notes in 1862. The lat.
est Important nseasure of moneta
ry legislation Is the Act of February
12, 1873, by Which authority to coin
the silver dollar was withdrawn. This
was the iocidled denionet*tion Act;
which it is Proposed, W . , repeal: As
a 'fact the 'Silver &liar had disap
peared twenty years before the Act
of 1873 went into effect: At,thntime
that the War' loans and legal-tender
notes were issued by, the 1 flovern
inept, the old silter,or,inare burred,.
ly, the silver dollar of 1837;'was of
no more prictical consequence than
the coins of the ancient Realms.
