Mr. lliyan Is resting Ills tired brain liy talking at every wny station. A Pair Challenge. The fact that under the frold standard the wage dollar paid to labor will buy mure than under the silver standard which liryan is trylnir to substitute is conceded by Democrats when they enll the gold dollar a 200-eent dollar. They sny they want n chep.per dollar, one that will buy loss than the sold dollnr buys, nnd tho reason they give Is that It would be easier for tho worklnpman to earn a cheap dollar than to earn a dear one. This lntter assertion rests on no evidence whatever. It Is simply a prediction, falsified by all the teach ings of past attempts to cheapen the dollar, nnd rendered highly Incredible by the general character of tho men who make It. liut before the worklngmnn votes to give up tho g-old dollnr that buys 100 centa' worth of groceries and supplies. In favor of tho CO-cent dollar cham pioned by Bryan, let him consider care fully what has boon his experience un der the gold standard and how It com pares with the experience of tho work ingmen who live In countries like Mex ico, China and Japan, where silver In already the standard of values. We es pecially recommend to his attentive perusal the following quotation from the Washington Tost: "In every city, town, or township In the United States there are men now living who were wage-earners In the years before the war, when we had free coinage, but did very little coining of silver. These men have not forgotten what they earned in those days, and they know what Is earned now In the same occu pations. They cannot be misled by statements that conflict with the facta of their own experience and observa tion. The younger voters can find In the senate report of 1S93, on wages, transportation and prices, the same les sons that the older ones learned in practical affairs in ante-bellum days. Here are some of the average dally earnings of worklngmen in the United States: Plasterers in 1860 $1.75, In 1890 $3.50; blacksmiths in 1860 $1.25, in 1890 $3; painters in 1860 $1.25, In 1890 $2.60; carpenters In 1860 $1.52, in 1890 $1.94; machinists in 1860 $1.76, in 1890 $2.19; brukemen on railroads in 1860 $1.25, in 1890 $2; locomotive engineers in 1860 $2.30, In 1890 $3.97. The entire record chows an average Increase In wages In II Industrial occupations of more than 6S per cent in those thirty years. "If we take the years since 1873 since sliver was 'demonetized' and the gold standard adopted we still find that wages have not declined; that, on the other hand, wages have risen, decreasing, not Increasing, the difficul ty of obtaining; a dollar. The general average in 1879 was $1.39, and In 1891, $1.68. And while wages have been go ing up the working day has been grow ing shorter, and the reduced cost of production has reduced the prices of . nearly all the necessaries of life. In fifty years ' the labor day' has been shortened from fourteen to ten hours, the productive power of a day's work has been Increased from 100 to 200 per cent., and wages have more than doubled." If the advocates of free coinage will point us to a Blnglo silver-standard country where a similar improvement has been wrought In the pay nnd con ditions of labor, we will throw up the sponge and vote for liryan. When two such eminent men as Jones and Altgeld fall out, it ought to be a tip to honest men to get together. "I do not know what you think about it, but I believe that it is a good deal better to open the. mills of the I'nitcd States to the labor of America than to open, up the mints of the United States to the silver ol'llie world.' WILLIAM M'KINLEY. - Seeing- how little they have appre ciated his past services. we wonder that Bryan continues to plead the cause of the owners of silver mines. Liquor Law Defects. It Is reported, with what degree of correctness we do not know.that a self appointed committee of gentlemen In cluding clergymen, business men and lawyers. Is at work In Harrlsburg and Philadelphia upon a revision of the Brooks high license law, the details of which will be submitted to the next legislature. Among the changes said to be under consideration are the ndop tlon In first and second class cities of practically the Raines law.umler which any applicant may secura a license to sell liquor whenever he shall have pro duced the necessary price; and also the enactment of stringent penalties to cover tho case of brewers or distillers convicted of setting up retailers on mortgage security. The limiting of the scope of these proposed amendments to Philadelphia and Pittsburg would deprive the people generally of all but a curlolis Interest In the experiment, and would therefore prove unfortunate. As a matter of the ory we have always held that If It be right to license one man to sell liquor the same privilege ought to be accorded to any other man who Is willing to comply with the same conditions. This, we take It. Is the cardinal prin ciple of the Haines law. Under that law there Is no discrimination beyond the primary requirements for a license. As many licenses can be taken out us there are men willing to Invest In li censes. Thus the monopolistic feature of the Rrooks law, which gives license rlKhts to one inun and denies them to another, often arbitrarily. Is cor rected In a spirit of equity. Equality of privilege before the law Is as desir able in the case of saloon keepers, it seems to us. as in that of any otlft r class of citizens. ltut the one great stumbling block in the way of the proper solution of the license problem in this state Is the fact thnt the machinery for the en forcement of th" liquor laws Is anti quated, unsatisfactory nnd notoriously ineffective. It degrades the Judiciary to compel It to superintend the periodi cal distribution of licenses, and It brings serious discredit upon the courts to have constables make quarterly re turn of conspicuous untruths relative to the operation of those laws. No Judge, however pure-minded, can rise above partisanship or partiality In the granting of licenses, and no constable, however vigilant, can be expected to see for a paltry fee a misdemeanor which It Is generally made worth bis while not to see. In our Judgement the machinery of the Raines law Is Inflnete ly preferable to that of the Brooks law, nnd the principal underlying It is cer tainly fairer and more democratic. At the present rate Generalissimo Carman will soon have to issue a call for volunteers. Mining Less Dangerous Than Rail roadinfc. An Interesting comparison is made by the-folliery Engineer between tho risks of mining nnd those of railroad ing. It would doubtless be supposed by nine persons out of ten that mining is the most dangerous vocation known. But the Interstate commerce commis sion's report for 1S9D gives a different Impression. According to this report, one railway employe was killed, last year, for each 433 employed, and one employe was in jured for 31 employed. This ratio is based on the total number of employes, including ofTlcials, clerks, telegraphers, etc. Of the class known as trainmen, that Is, engineers, firemen, conductors, and others whose service Is upon trains, it appears that one was killed for each 135 In service, and one was injured for each 11 in service. "This latter class of employes," as the Colliery Engineer ob serves, "are those that for purposes of comparison should be classed with the mine employes, as like mine employes they are the class that take the risk." According: to the Mine Inspectors' statistics for 1895 It appears that In the anthracite coal fields, admittedly the most dangerous of all, one mine em ploye was killed in that year for each 340 employed and one Injured for each 12S employed. In the bituminous field there was one fatality for each 548 employes and one employe Injured for each 293 employed. And It must be remembered, too, that "owing to more extensive mines, greater use of machinery, the presence of more gas, etc., etc., the coal mines of Pennsylvania are the most dangerous on this continent." Taking both anthracite and bitumin ous mining together, we find that there was one life lost for each 410 employes, and one person Injured for each 148 em ployed. Comparing these; ratios with those given for railroading, we find that railroading Is almost three times as dangerous as coal mining. Neverthe less, mining Is dangerous enough, and there Is need of Increased caution, care and vigilance In the effort to scfeguard the lives of those who from it earn a livelihood. With its current number the Colliery Engineer appears In a new form. The Flzo of Its pages have been reduced to nine by twelve Inches, and the num ber of pages has been Increased pro liortlonately. This gives a neater and more convenient form, and serves all the better to display the Increasing mer its of the ablest and most widely cir culated mining trade Journal in tho world. Alas, Poor Bryan! Mr. Bryan's tendency to talk without first having thought of something1 to say, leads to some curious results. Wit ness this peroration from his Rhine beck speech: "The ballot was not given in order that one man should vote for many, or that one man should compel others to vote with him or purchase their votes. It was glvcnain order that each man might malce his ballot represent a free man's will and then when studying as he will and voting as he likes, he expresses himself, we make o majority, and then we all support the one who Is elected and hold up his hands while he administers for us the govern ment whether wo agree with his views or not." It Is no reflection on Mr. Bryan to say that this passage is as clear as mud. Contrasted with the crystalline speeches of McKinley, which never contain a superfluous word nor deviate one hair's breadth from tho mark, the foregoing makes it plain why Chairman .Tones tears his locks every time he receives word that Bryan has removed the na tional committee's gag. The Boy Ora tor Is likely at this rate to prove the efficient architect of his own political obituary. The pubic Is awaiting with some de gree of Impatience the production of David Martin's answer to the charges recently made against him before the Andrews committee. He hus promised to make it lively for his assailants, and we expect him to keep his word. The charge, in brief, was that he received large blocks of stock for use in engin eering; a telephone company franchise through the councils of Phlladelplilu and that he placed some of this stock corruptly. This accusation was sup ported by sworn testimony from two or more witnesses. Mr. Martin no doubt understands as well as the next one that he cannot afford to sit still with these charges hanging over him. He Is entitled to a heating and he must have it. If he is guilty his place is In Jail; If Innocent, to the Jail with his tra duce rs! The statement that there Is not gold enough In the world to do the business of the world, shows a confused Idea of the meaning of a standard of value. The bushel may be of tin, brass, wood or hemp bo long as It holds a certain fixed quantity. Any dollar that Is as good as a gold dollur will do Just as well as tho octual dollar of gold. It Is not contemplated thul under the gold standard gold dollars umy shall bo In circulation. All koM itanduiU count l ies use silver and paper money ns well as gold. Hut no silver standard, country uses gold for money, because gold coin will not circulate on terms of equality with coin worth less than gold. Yet even If we had to use gold altogether, it Is a fact that gold production is in creasing at a faster rate than the popu lation is. "Men who tell us that the prices of farm products have fallen and that the farmer for that reason Is a suf ferer forget that while the price of wages has risen on the farm the ef ficiency of labor has Increased; thnt the cost of production has been reduced through the aid of machinery, while the wasos of the Individual laborer may have risen. While wages remain at their present rate I hope there will be a further and further continuous decrease in the cost of living. There Is no way in which I con be admitted to a share of God's bounty except through a fall In the prices of tho necessaries of life." From Bourke Coekran's Speech. The Times says In effect that we owe the silver mine-owner 47 cents- on the dollar for demonetizing silver In 1S73. That depends upon whether coinage laws are made for the benefit of special classes or the whole people. What light has any mine-owner to Imagine he has a mortgage on a United States mint? ROBBING PILLARS. From the Colliery Engineer. The unfamlllarity of metropolitan news paper men with mining methods and min ing terms, is responsible for absurd criti cisms published on the "reprehensible practice of robblns the pillars." In most such cases the miners are charged with this "crime." The vast majority of our readers do not need any explanation of the term "robbing pillars," but the general public does. When a coal mine Is opened on the room and chamber principle, haul age roads varying in width from 8 to 'U feet and generally 12 feet wide, are driven In the coal. From these roads chambers, which start from the haulage roads na norrow openings, are opened on one sb'e. These narrow openings are driven in tho coal from 6 to 12 yards and then the cham ber or room Is driven for 80 or 100 yarls further with a width of from 5 to 12 yards. Pillars of coal of various sizes, depending on local conditions, nre left standing. These Pillars are largest in close prox imity to the haulage roads or main arter. le of the mine, and those between tne chambers ore as a rule the same width nt the. chambers. These pillars are solid coal except thai at distances of every 20 or 30 ynrds small cross headings or holes are driven through them to assist In keeping currents of fresh alt close against the working faces. II II II In the first working or a mine only from one-third to one-half the available coal is taken. When the workings reach tho boundary of the tract worked, the "rob bing of pillars" begins. This "robbing of pillars" means that miners are set to work at the Inside pillars, and they remove till of them In regular order down to Ihosg lying next the main haulago road. Tnls robbing of pillars when properly conduct ed, and close attention Is given to the con ditions o'. the roof and floor of tha mam worked, is not a particularly dangerous occupation. The greatest dangers In the operation are found where the aeim has en exceptionally strong roof. In sui a case a "rqucire" or ptueral settling of tho superincumbent struta is probabl", and this can oniy be prevented by the erec tion of heavy timber "shanties" or "cogs"' built of timber In log cabin style and the Interior filled with rock, and tho breaking, of the roof at intervals by the use of dy namite. If the-roof Is not ex-ejaivcly stronp. It breaks of Its own weight Inside of solid pillars. In case of a strong roof and a soft lire-clay floor a "squeeze" has a tendency to press the pillars down into the soft bottom and thus weaken them, nnd at the. same time materially decrease the height of tho opening. Under such conditions the pressure of thi large mass of hanfflns roof must be relieved quickly by breaking it. i; li ll Good mining consists in recovering the largest possible percentage of coal In tlv scam at the Itast possible danger and ex pense. Good mlnlmr only will result In the production of coal at prices that will warrant tho profitable working of the mine. Poor mlnlns, and under this head comes the injudicious robbing of pillars, means not only probable danger to the em ployfs, hut the partiul if not the total ruin of the mine. The operator, with a large nmcunt of capital invested In the opera tion (sometimes as much as $300.0tK to I.VW. CIVI. Is not the man to encourage the in judicious robbing of plllRrs. He wants tho pillars mken out. for they renresent approximately one-half the available coal, and he wants them taken out, systematic ally and Judiciously. So they are taken out, and the coal supply Is not wasted. In some eases, even with the most ap proved methods of mining, "squeezes" occur before the pillars are touched for final robbing. Such squeezes are gener ally due to abnormal conditions existing In the strata, and they mako the future first work, and final robbing of pillars more expensive. The usual way of treat ing such cases Is to leave at regular in tervcals, one chamber unworked, thus forming a binding pillar three times ns large as ordinary. These pillars nre nat urally "robbed" in the final mining. Then again, the mine muy be worked In regular order, and no special care be necessary to prevent a "squeeze." Tho general con ditions for several years may be favorable. Suddenly conditions change through some purely local cause, entirely unforseen, nnd trouble results. The trouble may be local to the point where tho cause occurs, but frequently it spreads so as to take In a large portion if not all of the mine end the pillars originally left, no matter how large, pre found Inadequate. Thus It will be seen thnt "robbing pil lars" Is simply one of the legitimate oper ations In working n. coal mine, and an operation that if not carried out would brand the operator as a careless, wasteful business man. He would not be true to his own Interests those of his employes or the community nt Inrge. In his own cuse he would lose the sale of coal that can be mined cheaper than that taken in the first working. In the second place he would deprive his employes of employ ment anil tho chance to mine the coal that can be easiest cut by them. In the third place he would waste a. vast quan tity of u commodity to which the com munity or consumer has certain rights, nnd which, when .produced, adds material ly to the comfort of tha nation. A IKVY ON PRODUCTION. J. B. Mann In Washington l'ost. Tho owners of silver under free coin age will double their money, and what they mako has to be paid by tho com munity, the same as when a merchant mraks his silks from a dollur to two dollars. His customers know they have to pay the difference If they continue to trade with him. The profit in coinage be. comes a levy on production, and there is no way to escupe it under a legal tender clause. This profit is also a dead weight on business, so astounding that few real ize Its certuln consequences. The amount or silver in the hands of the wealthy cap italists or within their reach Is not less than $.-"i0.r)0.u with silver ut present price. Freo coinage will give an issue of one thousand million. Thus, in order to turn our Mock of silver bullion Into dollars we put aload of live 1 hundm n.
