THE Hnzlctou Plain Speakt r com- '
pletcd its eighth year on Thursday
last. It is an enterprising paper and i:
fully appreciates the good wishes of j
the people.
MONEY in the National Treasury and J
money in national hanks is not money j l
in circulation. It is financial conges-!
tion and will result in commercial and j
industrial death.
THE best plan for closing up "pluck- j j
me" stores thus far devised is the en-! |
forcemeut of the system of weekly j
payment of wages. Workingmen who i
get tlieir wages weekly can make
choice off the places where they pur-'
chase what they want.
MR. REED thinks he has won a '
great victory over the Democrats, i
Well, let us wait and see. An appeal
lies to a higher court, whose decision '
may oust Mr. Reed from the Speaker's i
chair at the end of the present Con- j
gress and put a Democrat in his |
place, with a whole arsenal of bad
precedents with which to prosecute
the Republican members. Philadel-1

AN attempt is now being made to
establish a thread monopoly in this
country under the wing of the tariff
duty The rich foreign manufactur
ers, who have established factories in
this'country in order to escape the
payment of duties and share in the
plunder of American consumers, have
banded together to drive the home
manufacturers out of the market by
underselling them. When they shail
have accomplished their object they
will put such a price on thread as
they think the traffic will bear.
THE alliance between the Farmers
and the Knights of Labor has borne
its first fruit. When in obedience to
the command of the General Assembly
the Gen. Secretary Treasurer wrote to
the Superintendent of the Census ask
ing that the next census should he
ma le to show what proportion of the
people own their homes and farms,
what propoption have their homes
free from debt, the proportion of homes
and farms under mortgage aud the
percentage so mortgaged, in reply
General Porter said that the informa
tion could not he gathered by the Cen
sus Commission. At the same timo
that the General Assembly instructed
the General Secretary-Treasurer as |
above, it passed a resolution request
ing Local Assemblies everywhere in
the United States to take action to
impress upon the Representatives at
Washington the need of having the
statistics collated. This the Order
has done, and done effectually. The
Farmers' organization has also been
working to the same end, and last
week the combined pressure of the al
lied organizations became too great for
the Senate to withstand, and by an al
most unanimous vote it appropriated
$1,000,000 toaid the census in collect
ing the desired information. Only
four Senators voted against the resolu
tion appropriating the money: Stock- j
bridge, of Michigan, Morrili, of Ver
mont, MePherson, of New Jersey, and
Sherman, of Ohio. The second of
these has long outlived his usefulness:
the first never had any; while from j
the other two no one would expect
anything not demanded by the money
power, whose pliant tools they have ;
ever been. The allied organizations
have thus won their first fight in the
senatorial halls, and the incident af
fords an example of the influence they \
are capable of exercising upon public j
opinion-— Journal of the A'nir/hts of ]

Taking Wages for Debt.
A hill has been introduced in the New !
York Legislature which has for its object I
the protection of retail grocers. The I
bill is entitled "An Act to provide for
the satisfaction of judgments for neces
saries by the levy of an execution on ten
per cent, of the wages, salary, income or
profits of the judgment debtor." A sim- {
liar bill was introduced into the LegiH-1
luture of this State at its last session and !
although it received the united support
of all the retail grocers' associations and
the State organization it failed to pass.
There is no doubt but that there is con
siderable merit in the hill which the ;
New York grocers ask the Legislature to
adopt into a law, but the question is I
whether its adoption would not lead to |
the entailment of greater hardships upon
those whom it proposes to make its vie- j
tims than the grocers now suffer them-1
selves. If a discrimination could be I
made so that the law would reach only
the professional deadliest, then it would
be all right. But discrimination in this i
case seems to be out of the question.
All debtors would have to suffer alike
and those who would suffer most would I
he the very poor and those debarred
from making a livelihood by reason of'
accident or sickness. And, again, if the
New York grocers are of the same state
of mind as their Pennsylvania brethren,
it is not the "poor fish" that they arc
after, but the well-to-do deadbeat who
will beat the greocer every time he gets
a chance. Freeland has licr share of
this class. The Merchants' Association j
| of this borough has been trying to pro- [
I teet its members for some years past j
against the inroads of the "beat," but I
j with what success we are not prepared J
jto state. In the opinion of our local j
( merchants the man who earns from $75
to $125 a month is the one to be most
I feared.
The Sun commenting on the bill now [
: before the New York Legislature says
j the argument of the advocates of the j
measure is that every man ought to pay i
j his debts, and if lie has not money I
enough on hand to pay them with, lie J
ought to devote a part of his labor to that
] end. But if this doctrine is correct, why I
J not apply it to all debts instead of only
to those which are contracted for nee-:
essaries, and why should not a man who j
runs in debt for a yacht or carriage,
I which he does not need, be compelled j
by law to apply his future earnings in
payment of what lie owes, just as much j
as a man who buys a ham or a bag of ;
flour, which he does need in order to j
live?
The retail grocers complain of the class j
of customers whom they politely denomi
nate "dead beats," and assert that this
bill will decrease the number of such j
persons who deal with them. But they i 1
have an adequate remedy in their own I
hands and can guard against contracting I
had debts without the aid of any legisla
tion. If they are content to sell only for |
cash to those whose ability or intent to
pay eventually is doubtful, they will be j
safe enough. Under this drastic law |
their poorer customers would practically j
| become their serfs. The grocers would
sell to such persons on credit more freely
than they do now, knowing that if the '
purchaser worked at all—and he must
work in order to support himself and his
family—one-tenth of his labor would be
performed for the benefit of his grocer.
If the Legislature wants to increase j
the burdens of the workingmen in this
State, it will at once pass tins bill.
, Correspondence From the Capitol.
I WASHINGTON, February 11, 1890. j
Nothing like the scenes that proceeded ;
the taking up of the West Virginia con
tested election case have been witnessed
in the House in many years. Speaker !
Reed more than fulfilled the expectation
of both his friends and his opponents in
the masterly manner in which he smash
ed precedent that told against him, and
gathered from afar that which was in
his favor. To be sure, it seemed a bit i
inconsistent to quote Governor Hill and I
the Tennessee legislature as precedents !
for a course which Speakers of tln-
House of Representatives had repeatedly j
pronounced; but desperate ills require :
drastic pills, and consistency, like pre
cedent, is old fashioned and a good deal
lof a bore anyway. Of course, this was
only some of Mr. Reed's sardonic humor,
a cynical concession to appearances.
Mr. Reed was placed in the Speaker's
chair because it was believed that lie
could be relied on to do the serious work
party exigency required should be done
in the House" of Representatives, and
anyone, Democrat or Republican, who
imagined Mr. Reed would allow prece
dent or anything short of superior phys
ical force stand in way of his doing what
his party expected him to do, plainly
had an imperfect knowledge of the
gentleman's characteristics. Perhaps j
Mr. Reed's guerrilla raids on precedent
result in a much-needed modernization !
of parliamentary procedure; still, it!
would have been better if these raids
had been made for other than immedi
ate, unmistakable and unmitigated party
purposes.
j "If you think that a Congressman's
( lot is a happy one," said a Western
1 Senator, "I would like for you to be at
my elbow for sixteen hours out of the
twenty-four. Most people fancy that
when Congress is not in session a mem
ber finds it bard to kill time. On the
contrary, a man who attends to his busi
ness conscientiously has scarcely an hour
that he can call his own. When I take
my seat in the Senate and the session i
begins it is almost impossible to sit ten ;
minutes and listen quietly to what is !
going on. Cards come in shaols. The j
first impulse is not to receive them but i
that is discourteous and sometimes dan
gerous. If it is a woman who is turned
away—God help me, I have made an ,
enemy for life. So it goes, and the re
sult is that the man who is not a pachy- 1
derm yields and is lost. In the after- |
noon comes more hours over correspon
dence. Some of us keep two private j
secretaries busy, and they do not keep j
up with our mail. For months at a time
my postage amounts to $! a day, or
about 20 per cent, of my salary. And
yet so smart a fellow as Amos Cummings
says 'it is so nice to be a Senator.' I j
hope he may some day have an oppor- \
tunity to try it."
j Senator Farwell has a theory that
President Harrison is settling old scores
in making appointments. He is report
ed to have said apropos of the appoint
ment of Mr. Clark, as collector of the
port of Chicago "I construe Mr. Harri
son's action in this matter—his refusal
to appoint Mr. Campbell—as a deliberate
affront, and no doubt he intended it as
! such. lie seems to think that the offices
j belong to him personally, and not to the
; people. Mr. Lincoln thought otherwise,
j Mr. Campbell devoted much of his time
and his whole energies for the election
of Mr. Harrison. Mr. Clark did not do
this. But, then, this is Mr. Harrison's
way of rewarding political friends. I
regret that he entertains such notions
for it will result in the disruption of the
party to which he and I belong. It
seems to me," continued the Senator,
4 'that it is the duty of those holding im
portant official positions to try and carry
out the will of the people, hut in this
matter, Mr. Harrison has wholly ignored
them, and so far as I remember this is
the first instance in which the wishes of
tii' entire delegation in Congress from
any State have been so completely dis
| regarded."
It did not require last week's triumph
to entitle Mr. Springer to the belt as tne
great American vociferator. He out
talked the Speaker, Mr. McKinley and
the whole House and made a "barren
| ideality" of the recollection of the vocal
performances of the late William Allen.
Mr. Crisp's crisp sentences in the
House last week bid fair to blaze his
way to the United States Senate. The
Georgia people are naming him as a
successor to Senator Brown.
Mr. Samuel Randall is always in favor
' of protection. This time it is protection
3 against Speaker Reed and his party is a
, unit with him and he has the pleasure
R of seeing the wings Happing together.
f) Perhaps it is well for the Republican
h majority that Samuel J. Randall is not
f 1 well. It.
HEALTH AMONG THE HOPS.
A Brooklyn Young Woman'* Chatty story
of Her Health Trip.
"I worked in the hop fields lest suni-
I mer," she said, and she looked :i0
though all the good of the hops and
none of their injurious qualities had
been absorbed into her system, for her
face was bright and rosy, her step elas
! tic, and her manner cheerful. She
i was not at all like the fragile young
lady of eight months ago. whose friends
1 in Brooklyn hardly expected to see her
j alive in November. "For a whole
j month," she continued, "I lived on a
farm near Cooperstown, N. Y., and
! picked hops almost from dawn to dusk
every day except Sundays. The farm
er was glad to hire me for my board
and lodging. Four other girls and !
two yonug men were engaged on the ;
same terms. We were all more or less
acquainted with each other in Brook
lyn. so it was not exactly like going 1
alone among strangers. Of course it
would have seemed a great deal more
re lined if we had paid the farmer for
the privilege of picking his hops, but
had we done so the object for which we
isolated ourselves so far from home
would not have been achieved, lie
would never have had the moral cour- :
age to make his guests and patrons !
work against their wills. As matters
were arranged, lie left a great deal to
his wife, and. I can tell you. she show- j
ed us very little consideration. She i
was determined to get the full value |
of her milk and weak tea, and was not ,
disposed to give us her fat pork and i
beans without a fair equivalent or to I
allow us to eat the corn bread of idle- j
ness She called us every morning at
daybreak, and she was not to be de- '
nied. We had to walk three-quarters
of a mile to the hop tields, and it was
necessary, she said, for us to be astir
early.
"We did not mind this much on
warm mornings, but when the breath
of frost was on the atmosphere it was a
dreadful thing to be told to get up
from our not too comfortable beds,
and to know that we had 110 alterna
tive but to obey. However, it was not
so bad when we were once up, and
when the sun got well up, too, we
grew quite cheerful, for the morning
air in the northern part of the state is
very bracing. It was like bathing at
Coney Island 011 a chilly day. After
i the first dip the agony is over. But
I washing in the icy spring water was a
1 terrible ordeal. Once I asked the
' farmer's wife to let me have a little
j warm water in my bedroom, but the
I proposition, which she declined frigid
| ly, so shocked her that I was afraid she
I would punish me by giving me no
breakfast; but she only marked her
• displeasure by confining me to three
j slices of corn bread, which was bad
I enough, for my appetite at that time
| had grown out of all ladylike propor-
I tions, aud I usually consumed live
I slices.
"One young man, whose hair and
mustache were of a beautiful seal
brown color, said that he would allow
his beard to grow rather thau shave
with cold water; but we were all amaz
ed to see the bristles on his cheeks and |
chin coming out quite red. He was i
very much mortified, and when the i
other young fellow laughed at him, •
and lectured him about the evils of |
forgetfulness, he packed up his traps
and went away two weeks before the
former's hops had all been harvested.
"Of course we had some rights that
we always maintained. We insisted
on not being separated from each other
in the hop fields, and we ate our lunch
together among the vines. It was
verv pleasant, for we could sing songs
and talk and tell stories, which we
should not have cared to do if we hat I
been obliged to work side by side with
the paid laborers, many of whom were j
tramps, pure ami simple. To them the
farmer used language that seemed to j
me to be sometimes unnecessarily em- j
phatic. To us he spoke more politely; i
but this was the only distinction he |
made. He was as careful in seeing 1
that we turned in our full complement ;
of hops every evening as he was to gel I
the value of his money from the men
and women to whom he paid their
wages at the end of each da}*.
"The fare at meals was, of course,
execrable, but huugor is a good sauce, I
and we all ate heartily. Next season I |
shall try to make up a party of delicate j
young ladies, and take them to the j
hop lields in search of health. I shall
lay in a stock of biscuits and canned
provisions to assuage my hunger in my
bedroom or among the vines, so that
the farmer's wife will not have reason i
to regard me with a strong reproach
ful eye at meals, as though she thought
J worked harder at the table than in
the field."
Thirteen cords of wood were sawed
from a single tree in Colerain township,

Mormon Tithing Scrip.
If yougointo the principal office of
the tithing-house, says a Salt Lake
City letter in the St. Louis Globc-Dcmo
crat, you will see a tall, young man
handling what looks like money. He
is behind a counter and the counter is
protected by a high railing. The man
glances through the window, then looks
down at the bills, and goes on thumb
ing them like a bank teller. Ho goes
to aud from a big safe, carrying bun
dles done up just as bills are, with lit
tle bands of brown paper pinned about
them. Sometimes the young man
doesn't stop to count, but takes the
amount on the brown slip as correct
and passes out the money. This is
Mormon money. It is the tithing
scrip. It is used to facilitate the hand
ling of the grain, and hay, and live
stock, and produce which come in. If
you pick up one of these bills you will
find it very much like a bank note in
appearance. In one upper corner is
the number of the bill. In the lower
left-hand corner is the in hoc signo of
Mormonism, a bee-hive.
The face of the bill reads: "Gen
eral tithing Storehouse. Good only
for merchandise and produce at
the general tithing storehouse, Salt
Lake city, Utah." Each note bears
the signature of the presiding bishop.
On the back is the denomination again
and a vignette of the new temple at
Salt Lake City. The back also bears
the wording: "This note is not cur
rent except in the merchandise and
produce departments of the general
tithing storehouse." The engraving is
well executed and the printing is well
done. The bills vary in color. Then?
are greenbacks for one department of
the tithing house, brownbacks for an- j
other, aud so on. Hy using this scrip
the church is able to create a market
for considerable quantities of the tith
ing. The scrip is given out in dis
pensing charity. It is used for paying
for work on tin; temple so far as the
workmen can make use of it. Em
ployes of the tithing house receive their
salaries of allowance partly in scrip.
In numerous ways the Mormon money j
' irets into circulation.
Nickels ami Connie*.
The copper used in the manufacture
of pennies is of tlie very host quality,
and is from the Calumet & Motrin Min
ing Company on Lake Superior. The
metal is shipped in bulk l'rom the mines
to the factories of Merchant <& Co., in
Connecticut.
There it is rolled and stamped out in
circles of the requisite size, say the
Philadelphia Inquirer. These circles
are perfectly plain, with the exception
of the'raised or milled edge. At this
stage the pieces intended for pennies
are as bright as gold pieces, while
those intended for nickels resemble
highly polished silver. In this condi
tion they are delivered to the mint. Of
course, it is absolutely necessary that
all the pieces should be of uniform size
and weight.
The transfer from the factory to the
mint is made, and the number of pieces
in a package is reckoned by its weight.
To find out how many small coins the
amount of nickel and copper contract
ed for at present will make, multiply
the number of pounds of copper by 100
atul the number of pounds of nickel by
seventy.
This calculation will show that the
metal now about to be made up into
coin will make 35,000 nickels and
100,000 pennies. One hundred pen
nies, therefore, weigh exactly one
pound.
When these pieces reach the mint
they are subjected to the linishing pro
cess, which consists in stamping them
with the denomination, lettering and
characters seen on the coins, when
they reach the public. To accomplish ;
this great pressure is needed, as the I
pieces are not heated again after leav
ing the factory.
The amount of pressure required is i
simply enormous, considering the size '
of the pieces. The copper pontile re
quire a pressure of ten tons avoirdu- 1
pois, while with the nickel pieces it is j
necessary to put on a pressure of from ;
*wlve to tiftoen tons.
