The placing ¥ £5,000,000 & month into the hands of peaple per force of law, without any ces sation for any reason, will ‘alone be enough to give the necessary confidence in order to waurd off distiss.” Seunator Sunders believes that tho silver coinage law alone will bridge over the chasm made amorig the farmers by a short erop this year, ALLISON ON THE SILVER LAW. Senator Allison of Towa, is in position to spoak of the practical rosults of the new law, as he veproseuts one of the most sive agricultuval constituencies in the country, and is a man of national affaivs and wide oxperience. He said t I have not heard agaiust the proposed operation silver coinagelaw. T think all of my constiv suts are thoroughly pleased with it, and | af it will resultin much good to the busi »ss interests of the people. 1t will undoubt- edly grive the furmers higher prices for their ots and operate greatly to the ad of labor, as an advancement of what we sell always carcies with 1t aso of wages to the laborer and hanie, The talk about stopping coiu- age under the operation of the law is a democratic movement to prejudice the ignor. ant, There will be no cessation of coinage us long as there is any demand for silver dolars, and whenever coinage stops the purchase of bullion will continue just the same, and the Issuance of certificatés upon the deposit of the bullion will continue just the sume gh the coinage was going on. Af there is 1o demurd forsilver by the business interests of the country there is no use to continue coinage, and it is far better to buy the bullion and pile it up in the treas ury and at the mints for reaemption of the certificates and give waterial for themints to work upon when the silver is wanted for circulation. Those who know nothi the practical operations of a silve law can, of course, be prejudiced the apnouncement thit coinage is 1o o frer certain date. Naturally the iuferonce is that thero is to bo acontraction of the o calation, There i5 to be colnage whenever ha! domiands of the people suggest it und when the money is wanted for_cireulation It would be unwise and impolite and bad | finwuciul managementto continue the coin if the silveris not wauted. The business futerests of the country will never demand silver for circulation and fiud the govern- ment unable to furnish it prowptly. 1 think the new silver coluage inw is oue of the nfost | fmportant picces of legislation we have had in wany vears, and I think it will belp us on to rencwed prosperity," UNCLE JERRY'S GIPT. had a talk ists to be plac west, and ther est will dec complalnt of the new Y EAR. | Grant's vemaing rem | th | | was the surprising information giv | agre “Uncle Jerry," the gray-haired colored | man who acts” as President Hurrison's foo man and who occupied the same position under President Grant, having been the lat- er's body guard for years ubout war times, Jumped high yesterday when he learmed Scuator Plumb's resolution asking the Pegiovel ot Qoners] Grant's ramaine to W ash- | fngton had been adopted by the senate.

Due consideration will bo given to_lengtl of ser- vice, but the fivst and most_important rule will'be the qualifications of the men for the place. If the employes have gricvances proper ofticers will grant hearings and see that co sideration is given, but will not allow outsid- ers to uterfere between employer and em- ploye. For this reason Webb states that he refused to allow Hollund to discuss any dif- ferences alleged to exist between the come- pany and its_enployes, and not for the rea- son, as stated, that” the company objects to its employes being wembers of labor organiz- ations.
