When the St. Louis Convention adopted its platform there was in it a plank demanding that the Govern ment pay to the ex-soldiers of the Federal armies who took part -in the war between the States the difference-between greenbacks and gold at the time they were paid.

Of course this is a mere transparent dodge, but whether it was a mere on the part of the conventio i or not, it was . not a mere matter oi sentiment with Gen. w eaver, who dratted and pre- ' sented it, for that has been a hobby with him for some years. It was simply a reproduction in brief, of a bill. introduced in Congress by Gen. Weaver when he was a member, of the-House of Representatives, which reads as follows: , Be it e -.acted by the Senate and House of "Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled', that .there shall be paid, to each private Soldier, non-com--missioned officer, sailor, teamster or mu sician regularly mustered into the service of the United States during the late war . . . . . ior tne suppression oi tne reDeiiion. or to his or their legal representatives in. case v ot deatn, as soon as his or their claim shall be examined and audited by the Second Auditor of the Treasury, the sum found due him or them, the amount thereof to be ascertained as follows: The Second Auditor shall ascertain the amount of currency paid said soldier or sailor at each date of oavment during his term of service, and shall ascertain the gold value of said currency payment at the time by reference to the quota tions of gold as compared with the currency in wh ch said soldier or sailor was paid at theJcity of New York at that date; and said soldier, sailor or his legal representatives shall be allowed and paid jthe difference in value between the currency which he re ceives and the standard gold coin of the United States in which he should have been paid.

I " Sec. 3. That the sum of $300,000,000, or so much thereof as shall be necessary to make the payments required by this act, is hereby appropriated out of the money by this act as authorized to be issued. Was this bill calling for the pay ment, designating the probable sum necessary, providing the way in which it should be Ipatd, and the de nominations of the bills to be issued for the payment, &c., a mere matter of sentiment? And when it is remem bered that this resolution was offered by the same man who" drafted and presented this bill, khe former being substantially a reproduction of the gist of the latter, doesn't the senti menf dodge seem too thin? If it be a matter of sentiment alone on the Part of the drafter, then he was Playing the role jof the hypocrite when he introduced his bill. But " wouldn't be fair to accuse him of that for when he introduced that bill m Congress he wasjnot looking to a nomination for the jPresidency as he was when he ' offered that "resolu tlon" in the St. Louis Convention.

They were strikes in one particular place, or against some particular employer, and were rarely if ever participated in by men employed at other places or by other employers. But now it is not so, tor labor, is organized and the organizations pledge themselves to stand by each other. This js not only of this country, but of ther countries, where labor is also organized. Other countries have probably caught the idea from this country, where nearly every depart ment of labor is more or less or ganized. These organizations are indirectly the outgrowth of the protective tariff, which begat trusts and combines, which in turn begat combinations of workmen, known as unions, associa tions, &c, bearing different titles but aiming at the same object to protect themselves from employers who might treat them unfairly. Many employers have come to look, upon" their workmen as mere machines, from whom they expect so much labor, and further than that they have no. interest in them, and many of them grind the workmen down to the very lowest cent he will bear, although some of these employ ers are enjoying princely incomes out of the sWeat of their men, and the monopoly that; the protective tariff gives them. But these strikes and these unions or associations of , workmen are not confined to the protected Industries but extend to others, such as the telegraphs, express, mines, railroads, &c, and there is at least one instaqce of a strike in the Government mail service. Sometimes these strikes are peaceable and orderly and of short duration; sometimes they are protracted and result in much lawlessness - and destruction of life and property, as the recent strikes at Homestead, Pa., and at the Idaho mines. One of the results of this is to put the employer and the employed fur ther apart, to make one feel that he is employing an enemy who will take every advantage of him, and the other feel that he is employed by a taskmaster whose object is to squeeze as much out of him as possible for the very least -pay. Neither em ployer nor employed take any inter est in each other any further than their own personal interest goes, and there it ends. This should not. be so, There should be the friendliest relation between the employ ers and - . tneir workmen. ine employers should desire the well being and the prosperity 'of those in their service, and the work men on the other hand should re joice in the prosperity of those in whose employ they are.' With such a feeling the profits of the one would be as great, and in the long run great er, and the labor of the toiler would be lighter because more cheerfully done. There would be no lockouts nor strikes, both of which are based on real or imaginary injustice. . It is a' remarkable thing that al though those labor troubles have ex isted more or less for a generation, no serious . attempt has been made by legislation to adopt a system to avert them, which is all- the more remarkable be cause they sometimes assume "such magnitude and become so far reach ing in their effects that the public becomes seriously inconvenienced and the business interests of-the country suffer material injury, as, for instance, when a strike takes place on some of the great railroads interfering with travel and the trans portation of freight, or in the tele graph interfering with 'the transmis sion of telegrams and news. Mr. Cleveland was one of the few sity of devising somemeansto guard against these strikes, and hence in 1886 when " that great strike took Dlace ' on the - Gould system of railroads West of the Mis sissippi he suggested to Congress the advisability of establishing a Com mission of Labor, "consisting of three members, to be regular officers of the Government, charged, among other duties, with the consideration and settlement, when possible, of all controversies: between labor and cap ital." He argued that such a com mission composed of able men would 1- hi become familiar with the questions involved, would become experienced, and better able to grapple with them than a committee appointed in emer gencies, and : being . officers of the Government would be disinterest ed and would , therefore command the more ' implicit confidence of the - parties interested J; in the controversies, y Had Ibis sugges tion been acted on then, " and such commission - appointed, it might have been the end of serious strikes and the Pinkerton gang would not have figured as they have now done. There is but one way out of these labor controversies which xloes not involve, the absolute submission of the employer or of the employed, and that is arbitration. To this it must come at last and the sooner the better.

No one will, justify the action of the workmen in taking pos session of the works, but Frick, as it anticipating this, without appeal ing to the civil authorities, county or State, hired this Pinkerton gang to come when called. In his testimony before the Congressional Committee last Tuesday he said that he had made no application to the civil au thorities for protection before he employed the Pinkerton men which he did by letter several days before hedischarged the men, that he built the electric wire fence around the works several days before the lock out, all ot which shows that he, an ticipated trouble and yet never called on the authorities for assistance or protection but took tnat mat ter altogether into his own hands More than this, the sheriff testified that he protested against these men being sworn in as depu ties. And yet Frick, entirely ignor ing the county and State authorities imported this gang of hireling shoot ers, who have established a reputa tion for the willingness with which they shoot those whom tney are hired to shoot, and the consequence was a bloody collision precipitated by this hired gang, in which eleven people were killed and twice as many wounded, t rick may have thougnt he had a right to protect in any way he could the property -, in which he was interested, but he has shown throughout all this business, nofbnly no disposition to a peaceable adjust ment with his men, but a supreme contempt for the authorities of his State to which he and all other citi zens were bound to look focprotec tion. . If any one man is responsible for the blood shed at Homestead that one man is Manager Frick.

How It IS Begulet4d by the Ameri . - v can Sugar Helloing . Company. . Until very recently sugars have been fold. by" wholesale dealers in this coun try at a . very small margin, and for some time past an ejiort has been made by wholesale grocers to devise a plan to secure them a somewhat better profit. The American Sugar Refining Company of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia,' and the wholesal dealers in the New England States, have for about ' a year followed out whatsis called the equality system, ancVthe same plan has since July 1st gone into effecj, in the Southern States. t ' . This equality plan is at present carried, out in the States ofVermont.New Hamp shire Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con necticut,. New York. New Jersey) Dele ware, Maryland,-Virginia,- North Caro lina, entire; hr par of the State of Penn sylvania. ' ,.-.V " The basis for the daily sale of sugar by wholesale dealers j is what is known as the New York card Drice. This orice is fixed daily by the jAmejican Sugar Re- nniasr tympany, and in making sales to retailers arbitrary figures have to be added at tl;e rates of freight to the various, points situated .in the States named above. These arbitrary figures are given in private books of the equality plan furnished to wholesale dealers, and any allowance in Jany forrrfof any part -of the rebate made by the American Sugar Refining Company is considered a violation of the terms of sale. The equality plan virtually furnishes a laid- down price for every town. It is based in a measure on the freight rates to the different points, and might be called a kind of combination freight rate, which is added to the New York card price. Retail merchants pay the same price, no matter what market they buy from, but the profit of wholesale dealers, who de duct the freight on the bills ot the re tailers, may vary slightly with their geo graphical situation. The Carolina Central's Mew Schedule. A meeting of members of the Produce Exchange has been called by the Presi dent,; Mr. WmCklder, to-day at noon, to consider the present schedule on the Carolina Central railroad, and the ad visability of petitioning the. - Railroad Commission concerning the same. The meeting is called a the request of mem bers of the Exchange. The Charlotte Weivs, speaking of the new schedule on this road, says: There may not be a superfluity of trains on the Carolina Central between Charlotte and Wilmington, but the trains that do run between these two points run at a lively rate. An engine pulls the Wilmington train from Char lotte to Monroe, j There it is coupled to the G., C. & N. train and whirled along to Hamlet. . At that place the two trains are separated, one going to Raleigh and one to Wilmington. The distance be tween Charlotte and Wilmington is 188 miles. This is Covered in seven hours, but in this run, 44 stops are included. one of 20 minutes at Hamlet, the break- last station, and; one of 10 minutes at Laurinburg.' The averasre running time is 40 miles an pour. One can leave Charlotte in thi morning, spend four hours in Wilmington and get back the same night. j VETERANS ENCAMPMENT.. I' The Ladies Moving In the Matter of Bals- ' ing Funds for the Entertainment of i the State Pensioner. As the ladies have taken the matter in hand there appears now to be some prospect of an encampment and reunion of Confederate veterans at Wrightsville . .i J , i r ' i next momn. a list oi tne maie pen sioners in the State, in the possession of Col, E. D. Hallt shows that there are seventeen hundred of them, and it is expected that fully two-thirds, if not all. would come to the encampment. The ladies of Winston-Salem are to hold a meeting jto-night, the object of which, as stated in the call, is To organize a committee whose duty it will be to raise funds with which to aid in defraying jthe expenses of the pro posed four days' encampment at Wrightsville of the disabled Confederate veterans now living in Mortb Carolina. The ladies ot Wilmington, it seems, have undertaken to provide for the sus tenance of the j indigent and disabled patriots ot the lost cause . and it is deemed but proper that they snouid re ceive assistance ColvHall thinks it will require about $2000 to defray tne expenses of the pro posed encampment.

AT HOMESTEAD. A Notice From the Carnegie Company Everything Quiet No Belaxation in Military Discipline A Few Non-TJnion Men at Work in the Mills. " By Telegraph to the" Horning Star. Pittsburg, Pa., July 16. The fol lowing notice was posted by -the Carne gie Steel Company at Homestead mill in the vicinity of the works.and was sent all ovhr the country: j "Notice. Individual applications for employment at Homestead Steel Works will be received by the General Super intendent either bv teleeraDh. or m Der- son until 6 o'clock p. m. Thursday, July Zlst, 1892. .

' "Such of our old employes as do not apply by the time above named will be considered as having no desire to re enter our employment, and the positions which tney held will be given to other men, and those hrst applying will have the choice of the unfilled positions for which they are suitable. This notice will be the last given to the employes of tne worKs, and their places will be tilled with non-union men. Homestead, Pa.. Tuly 16. To-day has been the quietest that Homestead has known since the declaration of hos tilities between the company and the men. There were undoubtedly new men introduced into the works, but their number was small, and, the strikers are confident that they cannot without great dimculty be brought in. New men are looked for by river, and scouts of the Amalgamated Association located in Pittsburg were continually sending to headquarters information that no non union men can be found who have any puroose ol coming to Homestead. A number of colored men trom Virginia mills are said to be prepared to come here, but the strikers do not believe that the reports are correct. If the men come they will undoubtedly have the toughest time they ever saw in their lives. - i At the Carnegie mills all is quiet to day, although smoke is rising from two stacks in the mills. A visit to the yards showed that about twenty non-union men were working, these men are mostly laborers, who have a most whole some fear of committing themselves to any statement whatever as to how they came here, or how long they propose to stay. The work so far done in the mill is in two of the three open hearth furna ces where blooms are prepared. There is no relaxation in the thorough ness of military discipline and precau tions. 1 he Carnegie steel Lo. has ad' vertised for bids for furnishing materials and building one hundred houses on the city farm lots at Munhall station. These houses will be occupied and will be for the use of men employed in the mill" The location is inside of the inclosure and protection will thus be assured to the men. even in their houses. The houses will be from six to eight rooms, and each will be built sepa rately on a good-sized lot. Letters were put in the postothce to day to every old employe of the mills, with about forty exceptions, and read as follows: j "Dear Sir: Repairs will be resumed on Monday morning, luly is. we in vite you to return to your old position, Work to commence at the usual time.
