CANADIANS IN DISGUISE.
Claims That They Aro Inducing: Farm
ers to Leave the United States.
Ottawa, July 27. A very interest
ing international question is to be
raised as to the right of Canadian gov
ernment agents to enter the United
States in disguise with a view to in
ducing settlers there to emigrate to
the Canadian northwest. At least
at work '
jorty ot tnesc agents are
all the way from Maine to Dakota.
is further said that a special
eirorc is to te made to induce the
farmers of New York east of Cape
Vincent to emigrate. The deputy
minister of the interior states that
last year 2.400 settlers were secured
for the Canadian northwest from tho
United States. A resident of the
United States, who has been investi
gating this matter, is reported to be
preparing to file a formal complaint at
i Washington. The disguise usually
assumed by Canadian agents is that of
a farmer, and the chief argument
j used is the vast inferiority of the
i American soil in comparison with that.

N'ebranka'n Sugar Production.
Washington; July 20. Commission
er of Internal Revenue Miller declines
j give out the figures of the production
and bounty of each of the two beet su
gar industries of Nebraska. There is a
law which prohibits any revenue oilicer
from making public the operations of
any private business of any man or
firm which he may visit in an oflicial
sugar bounty was created, but Oummi-.-sioner
Miller, in answer to the repeated
request for a detailed statement on the
beet sugar industry, has decided that
it applies to that as well. The aggre
gate production of b?ct sugar by the
two factories in Nebraska, Grand Is
land and Norfolk, was 3,80.1,500 pounds,
and the sugar was all of the first grade
tind secured the full two cents bounty.
Revenue Taxes Must Re I'aid.
Washington, July 20. A petition,
signed by many of the leading distill-
er8 tne atate Kentucky, has been
presented to Secretary Carlisle, asking
that the collection of the internal reve
nue taxes due on spirits remaining in
bond that were distilled and bonded in
May and June, 1S90, be postponed for
ninety days. The forced payment of
these taxes at this time will not only
embarrass the distillers, says the peti
tion, but will also withdraw from cir
culation and also from the banks large
sums of money which are now needed
for the mercantile use of the commu
nity. Secretary Carlisle replied that
the law providing for the collection of
the tax was obligatory and that he
could do nothing to relieve them.
Slam's Only Hope Gone.
London, July 20. The IJangkok cor
respondent of the Times says: The
prompt enforcement of the blockade,
which virtually damages only Great
Uritain, has, seemingly, convinced the
Siamcs that the assumed friendly at
tempt at intervention by Great Hritain
at Paris has not availed to modify the
conditions of the ultimatum. Siam,
therefore, will probably concede imme
diately the last difference remaining
between her and France by accepting
the ultimatum, pure and simple. Siam
has not received the slightest official
support from Great Hritain throughout
the difficulty.

Tabor Talks ou 6tiff. ,,
Omaha, July, 28. Hon. II. A.. TV.
Tabor, ex-United States senator from
Colorado, was in the city yesterday on
a flying trip pertaining to private busi
ness matters. He Was seen by a news
paper reprcscfitativc"; who asked him to
talk about the situation in Colorado1 irt
particular, and the silver question in
general.
"It's really too bad to talk about,"
said the senator sadly, 4,and it looks as
though nothing we c&n say will do any
gotfd. Look at the condition rre are in
at present. Thousands 6nd thousands
of men leaving Colorado to find work,
most of them tramping it out or going
bv the" be: ar route, those who havo
families leaving those farffiHe behind,
for the most part, to trust to iorlilk
and charity unlil their natural protec
tors provide means to care for them.
Jlotween 1G,000 and 20,000 men are em
ployed lu metalliferous mining in Colo
rado alone, and most of these are now
hut Of employment, while all art affec
ted disastrously. The same condition
of affairs obtains iH b'Micr mining
states. "What arc we goiiig lS di?
The Lord only knows, unlesssomething
is done very soon. With the sources of
their chief maintenance shut down,
what , can the mining states of the
west do?
"They can go under, that's ail, Mtl
every industry that belongs to them.
It is only a question of a short time
trhrn 11 of Colorado's industries are
likely to be" i.'i the sine position the
silver interests now oc-upy. Ko; there
have been few failures among Denver'
big jobbing houses, but they are likely
to come at any time. Collections are at
a standstill, and it is now onlj' a ques
tion of the survival of the strongest,
those, especially, which have not made
a practice of carrying on a too extens
ive credit business in both sales and
purchases.
'As tci the" means of relief, there is
only one waj' in which it can Le found,
and that is the repeal of the Sherman
law and further legislation by the way
of leaving us a substitute that will
make money out of silver. The failure
of congress to enact such a substitute
or the adoption of a gold standard
means acsolute, complete ruin, and the
forcing of the silver intcrestsand many
others into their present position can
not be retrieved by the repeal of the
Sherman law. The law is bad enough,
heaven knows, but its fiat repeal with
out further recourse for the advocates
of free silver would be infinitely worse.
'We want silver made into money.
This statement is so moss-growti that
it sounds like a platitude, but it is our
war cry and cannot be too much re
peated. We want a ratio of at least
15 j to I. That is the ratio of France,
and it would put silver in this country
where it oughtto be."
New York Silver Advocates.
New York, July 27. The meeting
under the auspices of the silver club
last night was a noisy affair. The
character of the howling showed that
some of the participants had lost their
tempers and their wits. At half past 9
respectable business men began to
leave the room in a hurry, but the
crowd grew thicker aiid thicker and
more ill-tempered. At 10 o'clock the
management of the hotel ordered the
electric lights turned out. For thirty
minutes afterwards yells of excited
disputants, who angrily refused to
leave the chamber, were heard. The
outcome of the meeting was the adop
tion of the following:
Whereas, The population of the Uni
ted States is increasing so rapidly that
the aggregate increase in ten j-ears
will be equivalent to importing into
the United States the present combined
population of Helgium, Holland, Kou
mania, Switzerland and Greece; and
Whereas, Therefore, a failure to pro
vide a constantly increasing volume of
money in the United States would be
equivalent to allowing contraction of
its volume were no increase of the
population to ensue; and
Whereas, A contraction of the vol
time of money shrinks insiduonsly the
salable value of all commodities and
other personal and other real property;
and
Whereas, Any impending shrinkage
of value imperils the legitimate opera
ations of business, causing distrust on
the part of capital and always restrict
ing the employment of labor; and
Whereas, The only assured increase
of the volume of money in the United
States at present is by the automatic
operation of the so-called Sherman
law; and
Whereas, This law, by receiving de
posits of silver bullion in the treasury,
never to be emitted therefrom, unless
in the form of legal tender coin, and
by such receiving of bullion is crcat-
Ing. at: the market price, an issue of
United States legal tender notes; and
Whereas. Many neonle arc deceived.
misled and falsely affricrhted as to the
demand propose to substitute the Issue
of bank notes in lieu of this issue of
United States notes: and
Whereas, Every increase of bank
notes, like the increase of all other
substitutes for money, enlarge neces
sarily the need of lawful money with
which to redeem them on demand; and
Whereas, The platform of both doII-

" rrr1'" "x gwu-iuai-
ver as our lawful money; and
Whereas, The platform of the party
now in control of congress and execu
tive demands explicitly "the use of
both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country and the coinage
of both gold and silver without discrim
inating against either metal or charge
'r mintage, but the dollar unit of
coinage of both metals must be of an
-ntrinsic and exchangeable nature or
be adjusted through an international
1 agreement or by such safeguards of
legislation as shall insure the maintc-
nance of parity of the two metals and
the equal power of every dollar at all
debts, and that all paper currency shall

be kept at par with and redeemable in
such coin, insisting upon this policy as
especially necessary for the protection
of the farmers and laboring closses,the .
nrst and most defenseless victims of
unstable - money and
fluctuating cur-
rencv:" now. therefore, be It
Resolved. First That this assem-
blage of citizens of New York, viewing
with apprehension the continuing
Senseless attacks upon the so-called
Sherman" bill, hereby caution congress
about to assemble htliefe is an in
fluential opinion in this community on
the great issue involved, which" fc not
expressed by the assemblage of bank
ers or merchants under dictation from
imf banks and certain newspapers.
SccondThat wo demand of the
party in control til congress and the
executive the prompt fulfillment of the
pledge of their platform as to the in
aieriminate and equal treatment of
both gold and silver for coining into
legal tender mdiiCjv
Third That congress shall indig
nantly resent the demand for the un
conditional repeal of the so-called
Sherman law, as merely a proposal to
substitute bank notes for the auto
matic issu of United States notes ami
of the aforesaid platforms of the party
ln control.
Fourth That the proposal to sul stl
tute. bank notes for legal tender notes
df ihe' United States is equivalent t .
theobnoxicu& pfoposal-of the bank of
the United States, a Joint stock corpor
ation, rejected by Andrew Jackson in
1814, although urged by Daniel Wobster
and brought up in this city by Charle-.
O Connor, who was defeated by tim la
bor" element of the democracy of New
1'Ofl:, on ths ground that gold and si -ver
were ihc pr'odncts of lobor, while
bank notes were the ci'estures of tin'
printing press.
Fifth That we call upon our domes
tic bankers, merchants, small trades
men ail( IUXi pt small property, real
and personal, in this city, as elsewhere,
as well as the managers Oi Institution?
investing the savings of the poor", and
upon all organizations of labor, to com

of the United States.
i.jh"o "tronbtrs in Kansas.
Topeka, July if. The strike situa
tion in the Cherokee district i& regard
ed as so serious by Governor Lewelliii;'
and his advisors that eleven companies
of militia hive been ordered to hold
themselves in ieiklie-s to move on
three hours notice.
The orders were telegraphed by Ad
jutant General Artz, by direction of
Lieutenant Governor Daniels, uhoi?
the major gdn&rifl of the Kansas mili
tia, after a confercricc1 Ot three hours
with Governor Lcwclling. The lieu
tenant governor arrived from the scene
of the strike early last evening and
was immediately closeted with Gov
ernor Lcwclling, to whom he made a
full report of the situation as ho view
ed it. The governor decided that troops
would probably be needed and turned
the command over to Major General
Daniels, Mth instructions to act as his
judgment might direct. Accordingly
General Daniels issued the rders plac
ing the eleven companies under arms.
Hy noon word had been received from
the captains ot nil the companies in
cluded in the order Ihat their men were
under arms and ready for ihc march.
Governor Lewelling, in order to be
more fully advised and to be posted as
events progressed, last night sent F. J.
Close, his private secretary, to Weir
City with orders to report from time to
time by telegtaph.
Lieutenant Governor Daniels stated
this morning that he regarded the situ
ation as very critical and that it might
break out at any time intovioler.ee and
bloodshed. He hopes that Sheriff
Arnold will be able to preserve order
with his force of armed deputies, but
they are so few, compared with the
strikers, that t would be an unequal
contest should the tifo forces come to
gether. Lieutenant Governor Daniels
submitted his report in writing to the
governor tonight. He rehearses the
differences between the miners and
operators which caused the strike and
says that the dispute now hinges on a
difference without a distinction. The
miners say they arc willing to go back
to work at the price per ton regulated
bj- the pay they were getting before the
change in the screen law. The opera
tors say they are willing to pay the
same price per ton that they were pay
ing before the change in the law.
Lieutenant Governor I )aniels sa3'S this
difference ought to be arbitrated with
out difficulty and recommends that the
governor take steps to bring about ar
bitration. Continuing, the report sa3s: "At
the same time, as the situation there
is so critical as to render a conflict in
volving serious consequences liable at
any moment, I would suggest that a
proclamation be made to notify all par
ties that the state administration will
not condone the violation of law by
either side; that the sheriffs are ex
pected to protect all interests as re
quired by law and their oaths: and
whenever the forces at their immediate
command are not ample for the pur
pose the state authorities are ready to
respond immediately to their call for
aid."
The report discourses upon labor
troubles as general and says they
are due to vicious legislation, inspired
by capital and against labor, and con
cludes as follows: "Hut the method
by which these wrongs must be right
ed, by which labor must be restored to
its constitutional rights and to its God
given position, must be by constitu
tional ones, or our institutions are not
only ready to crumble, but rcpub ivau
governments in the world, for the pres
ent, at least, are doomed.'

Orerrna by Penniless Workmen.
Topeka, Kan., July z6 Western
Kansas is overran with men who arc

where they have been thrown out of
