NOTES

Weekly meetings of our alien landlords, we are i...ormed, are now being held in the Bank of England, and counter associations of the tenants are being formed in Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa to resist their encroachments. At the last meeting, which was presided over by the Duke of Beaufort, complaint was made that the American tenantry was not acting fairly, and drastic measures were proposed. It was also voted to have au agent in attendance at the legislatures of all the states involved this winter. That English aristocrats should own large domains in the United States is at first a difficult thing to Yet the peers and peeresses of Great Britain are large landed proprietors of ours. Viscount Scully alone owns 3,000,000 acres in the three states above mentioned. A royal syndicate owns whole counties in the state of Texas. The Duchess of Marlborough, Lady Randolph Churchill and Lady ListerKaye own 2,000,000 acres, chiefly in Florida. The Duke of Sutherland owns 125,000 acres-he of actress-loving, champagnebibbling, police court notoriety. The Dundee Land Co. has 247,000 acres; Lord Dunmore, 120,000, and Lord Dunraven, of yachting fame, 60,000 acres. It would require a column to enumerate them all. The total is estimated at 20,000,000 acres, and this does not include the Holland syndicate, 5,000,000 acres, and the German syndicate, 2,000,000 acres.

It is easily seen that under such conditions the development of the western commonwealths is seriously retarded. These great owners positively refuse to sell, knowing full well that every babe that is born or immigrant that settles amongst us adds to their unearned increment. They prefer to establish a system of agencies and bailiffs, and very serious complications have already resulted. Scully has for years been a thorn in the path of one state administration after another. He practically owns in Illinois the best part of the counties of Logan, Livingstone and Tazewell. The state in 1887 passed an alien land law, directed solely against him. To evade it he inserted in all his leases a clause that the lessee should pay all taxes. The result was the creation of a large and solid body of voters in the Scully counties opposed to public improvements by taxation. The war against him threw the other British land owners into a panic, and as fast as leases have fallen in they have been renewed under heavier and heavier conditions. A memorial was presented by the tenants to the Englishman praying for leniency, as a result of the rack-renting system. It had a marked effect upon the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, who insisted upon no more evictions of American tenants. It only aggravated the Duke of Sutherland, who was then in sore need of funds, and he cabled his agents to collect the rents at all hazards. As a result of this the tenants have combined secretly and agrarian agitation may be looked for in the future that will surpass anything in the history of Ireland. Evidently this is where "the helping hand of an Englishman" is most needed.

"Coin's Financial School" is the name of a small book which aims to popularize discussion of the money question by a hypothetical lecture-dialogue, into which are introduced to their confusion, a number of well-known bankers, merchants and editors of the "pocket edition" city, where the scene is laid. The book is succeeding so well that one of its characters, Lyman J. Gage, feels called upon to deny in the newspapers that he ever attended such a lecture, or spoke any such words as are attributed to him; and a leading newspaper recently devoted a half column to show what it was pleased to designate the author's financial absurdities. As this "denial" appeared in several newspapers at the same time, we are constrained to believe it is a ruse of the "sound money" advocates. Confir mation of this comes from Wall street, where the committee on sound currency of the New York reform club has secured

the co-operation of the press, and a series of broadsides will be distributed to those in sympathy with the movement. Efforts are also being made to induce the plate-matter agencies to edit their sheets in the interest of the goldolators. Again, recent dispatches tell us that associations are being formed abroad to check the growing tendency toward bi-metallism. These, with a number of other similar occurrences, the coqueting of the politicians, etc., go to show that the white metal is destined to occupy first place in coming events whose shadows are already

The Denver convention, composed of students of political economy of all shades, endorsed free silver at 16 to 1, and working men generally will gladly hail its rehabilitation and a consequent partial relief from the ills that bear upon them. No one but the extreme silver faddists imagines that its recognition will install the millenium, but most people who have given the subject any thought know that in the difference between scarcity and sufficiency of the circulating medium there is involved much exploitation of labor, and which is manifested, under scarcity, by depression in business, low wages and lack of employment. Money is the representative of capital in the field of commodity exchange. It requires a certain amount to discharge this function, depending upon the volume of trade. Any restriction upon either of the three factors in productionland, labor and capital-must effect the other two, and one-sided results must follow. A curtailment of the money quality must be followed by hampered exchange, a reduction in trade. Given a community of producers, traders, borrowers and lenders, in which the means of exchange is restricted, derangement must follow. The wheel of trade cannot revolve regularly with a dead weight attached to one of the spokes.

Products, for instance, with a circulating medium of 50, sell at 100. If the medium is reduced to 30, it becomes harder to exchange, to sell, and the medium being in greater demand assumes a greater value, and products less. The borrower, in order to pay his debt, must buy money at its increased value, sell his product at So to the creditor. A merchant needing available capital borrows at a burdensome rate and issues his note based on expected sales. Meantime the volume of money is contracted by legislation, increase of population or in divers other ways. When the date of payment arrives, he finds that money is tight and his goods will not sell at his former prices. He must, therefore, let go at a sacrifice; so that the purchasing power of money has increased to his detriment. The value of products and the wages of the producer fall together. A contraction of currency thus lessens the marketable value of products, robs labor and enriches the money bag. So that, when the problem is sifted, we find that the money question ranks in importance almost with the land question. Under a free land system the manufacturer, merchant and farmer need money to carry on production and exchange. Lack of it will produce, in a lesser degree, results as outlined above.

Those who fear inflation because of increase of the money medium assume that value of commodities depends entirely upon the amount of money in circulation. Availability, of course, is a chief factor of value, but it applies to all, and there is such a thing as a common value which is produced by competition in a free market, and which is based upon labor expended. "Labor cost the limit of price" will practically apply no matter what the circulating medium when it is based upon real values, silver, cotton or wheat, and limited in quantity only by exchange laws, which will of themselves regulate the volume. As a matter of fact, it is only by a removal of all restrictions that true values can apply. Inflation, or loss of purchasing power in the dollar, occurs by legislation, when the dollar represents abuse of authority, just as at present the contrary effect is seen in the increased purchasing power of the dollar caused by the same evil. But money based on silver contains market value, and this value, when allowed to function as the circulating medium, maintains a parity of 16 to 1. Better inflated prices, however, if such would occur, than no prices. But so long as legislators have power to tinker we will have a money question, with greater restriction to-day and minor

The recent success of the lasters' union in winning over a certain well-known shoe firm is equally shared by all members of organized labor. For the victory was not won by any particular craft, but was due to the joint efforts of all. The battle was long drawn out, but persistence won at last. It is another evidence of the strength of organized labor when it wields carefully and skillfully an all-powerful weapon. We congratulate the lasters as well as the shoe firm. Organized labor will endeavor to return the compliment by repairing the damage done the product. It affords us pleasure to reduce the unfair

Harmony! The poet's dream; the philosopher's thought; the reformer's goal. All nature strives for it, tearing down here, building up there; perfecting the best, besting the perfect. Harmony! A series of concordances, whose life depends upon friction. Who would expect to find it in a labor union, and in New York? Yet, so the story goes, as told by the Voice: in bricklayers vs. bosses, or, rather, bricklayers and bosses, who seldom disagree. And the secret is out in organization, compact, solid, complete. It is a good lesson. We commend the Voice and Josephine Shaw Lowell.

That is a queer story going the rounds of the press in reference to the action of our postoffice authorities. By an order, to take effect May 1, all railway mail service employes were to remove to some point along the route on which they were employed. This was unsatisfactory and the clerks obtained legislation overruling the order. Encouraged by this success they sought greater combination amongst themselves for future protection, as well as to secure greater freedom in the present, notwithstanding the popular belief that our postoffice system is just about perfect. A Youngstown (O.) carrier took advantage of leave of absence, it appears, to go to Canton, and was about perfecting an organization when Postmaster General Jones ordered his prompt dismissal on a charge of conspiracy in attempting to defeat orders. That organization should be necessary among the postoffice employes is one more endorsement of that sterling principle, another compliment to trade unions. All of which is very suggestive at this time, when we are thinking of government ownership on a large scale. Having generally shown our inability to deal with government as it is, we must add to it. And under a general collective ownership discharge cannot, we take it, be resorted to, as all will be a part thereof and must perform the allotted work. What then?

Now that the first fundamental patents of the Bell have expired and can be used by any one, cheaper telephones are in the air. The Standard of New York is the first in the field, with a capital of $10,000,000, and an aggregate capital for subsidiary points throughout the country of $360,000,000. The Metropolitan of New York charges $175 and $240 for the use of an instrument. The new company proposes to reduce this to $24 and $36. The Bell and Edison have 160 patents on speaking telephones, and on calls, switches and conductors, etc., just 274. The Standard claims to have 25 patents which are sufficient to do business. The annual net profit of the Bell is estimated at $7,000,000. Had not the government granted a monopoly of patents to this concern, no such robbery could have been perpetrated upon the people.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

SCREWMAKERS Protective Union 6562, Toledo, O., offers to organizers ten, dollars for the formation of a sister union in any city.

THE Boston Evening Telegram vs. Typographical Union No. 13 was decided in the superior court in favor of the latter, being a case of alleged conspiracy which succeeded in killing the paper.

INQUIRY is constantly made by merchants and members for a list of union products. Secretaries are requested to aid us in compiling such a list by sending to headquarters the names of both union products and firms.

THE United Garment Workers are preparing for extensive agitation of their union label, and the services of ex-President Gompers have been secured to make a tour of the country in their behalf. The increasing influence of the label has encouraged this course.

AFTER one's cerrebulum grows heavy reading the economic thought waves so ably painted in the columns of the Typographical Journal, mental refreshment can be had by studying its new departure in several pages of tastefully set advertising. The paper looks well, reads well, and is doing good work.

THE differences existing between the labor unions of Louisville, Ky., which culminated in the formation of two central bodies nearly two years ago, and which were referred to the executive council of the Denver convention, have been adjusted by consolidation under the banner of the A. F. of L. All parties are now endeavoring to outdo each other in obliterating the evil effects of the past. This is the kind of unionism that

counts.

THE Siemens Halske Company, manufacturers of electrical appliances, which suffered a heavy loss through fire last summer, has leased the immense plant formerly occupied by the defunct Grant Locomotive Works, and has now 500 skilled mechanics at work-days, nights and Sundays. Negotiations are now pending to purchase the plant, and as soon as consummated 1,500 more men will be put to work.

PATRONS of the street railways of Chicago will soon sit in cars which will have in one end a compartment for the use of the United States mail service. The new cars will be painted in ** postal white, decorated with gold leaf, and later, if Yerkes' slaves go on strike, the cars will be "decorated" with the new slave drivers-United States troops. What a glorious future must be in store for some of the valiant carpet soldiers. THE legislative committee charged with conducting an investigation into the question of how far and in what way prison labor affects free labor, in the two sessions held in this city, was placed in possession of a mass of information and testimony which should have a marked influence in the treatment of this mattes in the future, providing, of course, that the Illinois legislature was actuated by an honest desire to improve the condition of the worker when the investigation was ordered. HALF a hundred small boys stopped all work in the Chicago ship-building yards at South Chicago. These boys are employed as heaters, gaugers and packers, and pass up the hot steel rivets used in ship building. For this they had been paid but 50 cents per day, and went out on strike because a demand for an increase of 25 cents per day was refused. After the walkout by the boys the company ordered fifty laborers to take their places, but, as these laborers were all skilled mechanics, engi

neers, firemen, etc., who had lost their places on the railroad last summer, they refused to take the places of the juvenile strikers, and 300 men knocked off work for the rest of the day.

ONE George Washington Howard a few days ago unearthed another grand and glorious labor body, this time right here in Chicago, and under the name of the American Industrial Union, with George Washington Howard at its head, perfected its organization. Like the O. R. C. and B. L. E., the B. R. C., and later the A. R. U., all of which organizations George Washington Howard fathered, this also fills a long-felt want, and as this is only his fifth venture in saving the workingmen, much is expected of it. This organization differs only from his previous efforts in the fact that everybody who toils is eligible to membership, but it is remarked that of the ten officers and directors elected but one has been known to toil, and perhaps he would not be obliged to do so were he not a cripple.
