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. II
lion on production, nd pay the amount to
"ho rwners of t'.e metal as . bomw for
he us , of it us cmrem y. It is eqitlva en J

and cannot 'be done wi Vmut plunging al
kinds of busmes Into disaster for a long
