Of tke condition of the mintra
the Indianapolis Sentinel says
that by having their wages paid in
store accounts and rent receipts,
the miners are kept codstantly iu
debt or on the verge of starva-
tion. They lordly know what
money is and soon unlearn it»
value and use. They become the
worst qf slaves, entirely beholden
to their laak masters for their
scanty food and miserable abodes.
If one of them asks for Case he is
discharged as setting a bad exam-
ple, and occasionally they are
employed more for the purpose
of increasing the custom of the
company store than because they
are actually needed la the mines.
This is aae of the fruits of the
noble gold standard under which
we are told the American laborer
is so happy and free and prosper-
ous S Is there any darker picture
than this among the Mexican
peons or the Chinese coolies?
High Prices and Scarce Mon-
ey.
St. Lonis Republic.
The McKinley administration
will be known in history as the
creator of an era of high prices
and scarce money. These are the
conditions most conducive to the
growth of trusts and impoverish-
ment of the producers of wealth.
High prices that are the result
of limiting production mean low
wages, for as the opportunities
for limiting production are in-
creased so also are the opportu-
nities for controlling the price of
labor increased. The Dingley
bill’s high wall of protection will
shut the consumer oat from the
benefits of the world’s markets
and confine him to a home mar-
ket constantly narrowed by the
operations of the trusts which are
fostered by the bill.
The prohibitive duties levied
by the bill wilt decrease'revenues
from imports to the point of forc-
ing upon Congress the necessity
of 'enlarging the list of articles
upon which are now imposed in-
ternal revenue taxes. This means
the increase of the price of all
commodities of prime necessity
without any compensating in-
crease in the price of farm prod-
ucts. Internal revenue taxes do
not benefit the producers of raw
materials. On the contrary, they
raise the prices of the manufact-
at the proper ured article which the producer
has to boy. The farmer, there-
comet fore, will havo doable burdens of
taxation placed upon him without
enjoying aDy of the benefits of
high prices which the bill will
produce.
And the farmer, the ardasan and
the laborer will alike share the I
hardships of the scarcity of mon-
ey which is being enhanced by
the condact of the Treasury at
Washington. In other words, the
first five months of the McKinley
Administration present the grew-
some prospect of unnaturally high
prices for a period of four years
with a constantly contracing cur-
rency. Bach a combination of
atrocities was neyer before im-
posed upon a free people. And
over it all there is the conscious-
ness that under this anomalous
condition of affairs must ensue
greater prosperity to the trusts
than was ever enjoyed by those
concerns.
Patriotism and firm faith In the
and repre- strength of American institutions
furnish the only hope of meeting
the difficulties ahead of the nation
and of the ultimate Iriuoaph of a
free government whose benefits
are equally distributed.

Messrs. Bailey, Lanham and
Ball Delivered Eloquent
and Logiical Ad-
dresses.
W. G. !5. In Dallas News.
Washington, July 19.—In the
last hoars of tariff legislation it
may be said that Texas was on
hand in the best of shape. Three
Texans addressed the house and
each one of them received the
plaudits of their pdlitical enemies.
The tbree’who spoke were Bailey,
Ball and Latham.
The Republicans agreed early
in the day that they would get a
vote on the conference report on
the tariff bill before adjournment,
but it would seem to make the
dose which they intended to give
the Democra ts. They concluded
to omit the rule which the com-
mittee on rules generally brings
in to gag the body. So soon as
Dingley reported the conference
report and the Republicans had
ceased to cheer a wrangle com-
menced. Bailey said he had in-
tended to ask for a three day’s
debate, but having been informed
that this would not be listened to
lie asked for two,- promising a
vote tomorrow. Dingley haggled
over the master, seemed confused
and finally stated that he would
talk to Mr. Bailey about the mat-
ter, and then proceeded to ex-
plain the changes made in the bill.
As he proceeded the Republicans
cheered hie statements vocifer-
ously, just as if they had partici-
pated in the making of the bill;
as if its submission to the honse
in its present shape was a tri-
umph for them. Not one in a
hundred of them had anything to
do with its framing, >
After the formality of reading
and explaining had been gone
through with the speaking com-
menced. Ttie idea soon obtained
that a vote would be had at 10
o’clock tonight and that the Re-
publicans did not intend to con-
sume time, lit was a short time
for the Democrats to get their
speeches iu and many .of them
wanted to make remarks on the
measure. Bailey had the award
and naturally had some embar-
rassment because of the number
of those who wanted to speak.
Among those vrho secured time
from him were Congressman Ball
and Congressman Lanham of
Texas. Lanham is an old member
and is always an attractive speak-
er. His eff art today can be num-
bered as among his best. I^is
speech i-how.ed preparation
throughout in its polish, and a
study and |nowledge of the tariff
question throughout the argument
He was most eloquent at times
and elicited hearty applause from
the members. He demonstrated
that a two years’ absence from
the house had not dulled but
freshened him, and farther, thgt
he had been making a laborious
study of this difficult question.
Mr. Ball has not been heard
before in the hoase. He has
been quiei, unostentatious and
unaffected. Ho has made friends
and they were anxious to hear
him and calculate his depth. To-
night they are willing to believe
tfiat he is a man of the best prom-
ise. He hs.d only fifteen minutes,
but he crowded into that time
one of the best speeches that has
ever been made on the tariff. It
was observed that he cut right
and left as he went along and sev-
eral times came near home, as
two congressmen, Slayden and
Kleberg, had voted for the bill
when it passed the house. He
quoted from McKinley’s inaugu-
ral address as to the distress of
the people and the necessity for
economy, apd then showed the
increased taxes under the bill
which won Id be imposed on these
distressed people. He showed
that there was money en^ggh in
the treasury to meet the differ-
ence between expenditures and
receipts without addition^Btxa-
for years to come.^^lde-
r
against the masses, and that every
trust either in existence or in
contemplation wonld find in the
bill the finest field for its rapacity.
He declared it to be a declaration
of commercial war with the na-
tions of the earth. Not a single
market will be open to our prod-
ucts and those they enjoy will
inevitably be closed. He said it
was not undemocratic to raise a
proper share of revenue by tax
on hides, wool, sugar, lumber and
other products of the south and
west, but he denounced those
who, claiming to be Democrats,
sought to add to the outrages to
be perpetrated by the bill by the
efforts to secure a tariff to be paid
by the people on articles produc-
ed in their own sections. This
was rather a blow at Slayden and
Kleberg, who voted for the bill.
Those who had been guilty of
that of which he complained were
perhaps moved by the idea that
this was a game of grab-all. He
warned them that in the case the
west and south would go to the
wall, as the products of the east
were such as the world had for
sale, while the products of the
south and west were each as the
world had to buy.
He swiped at the Populists and
silver Republicans in the senate
by sayiDg they had declared the
bill as a hotbed to prodace trusts
and would not vote against it or
for it. Re said that any desire
to emphasise the money question
as the paramonnt question was
not justified by the course these
gentlemen pursued, as the free
coinage of gold and silver would
not prodace prosperity and hap-
piness as long as laws stood on
the statate books which taxed
the many for the benefit of the
few. He declared the Democrat-
ic party great and good enough
for every patriot and for every
friend of silver^ but it must npt
surrender the cardinal principles,
for one of the cardinal principles
was that a tariff should not be
levied for other than revenue
purposes, and any man who be
lieved otherwise was not a Dem-
ocrat. He said the gold standard
Democrats and allies of the Re-
publicans in the last campaign
would now complain that this
campaign, won on the money
question, had been converted into
a feast of tariff debauchery. In
conclusion he said: “ Gold stand-
ard tariff reformers will not be
satisfied with tbe tariff robbers.
Opponents of the trusts will find
no comfort. Organized labor has
not realized on Republican cam
paign promises of more work at
better wages. Business interests
pressing for a bankruptcy law are
not jubilant over the exploits of
onr bimetallic rovers or the be-
lated message favoring a farcical
cnrrency commission. Delayed
pension claimants will not glory
in the invasion of Earope by Gen.
Miles. Striking miners find no
consolation in the Queen’s jnbilee
or Whitelaw Reid’s nap in Wind-
sor castle. Lovers of liberty will
not accept the acquisition of the
Hawaiian lepers as atonement for
the .betrayal of Caban patriots.
The wrath of an outraged people
in 1900 will cover the Republican
party the lava from Vesuvius
did the ancient cities, Pompeii
and Herculaneum. ”
The announcement was made
by Mr. Bailey on the floor in the
evening that he intended to speak
at night. The resalt was that the
galleries quickly oversowed when
night came and the corridors
were crowded with people who
wanted to get in. He delivered
his speech without notes, though
he had been preparing it for some
time. It may be truly said to
have been the effort of his life.
He spoke slowly and deliberately
at no time essaying aDy flights, but
confining himself to the state-
ments of facts and drawing de-
ductions from them. He was
frequently applanded and through-
out the entire effort, which lasted
an hour and a half, every
mau on the floor gave him the
closest attention. When he was
at the end of his remarks
rmly congratulate
Off to: Graham.
lef
tiutritiiig a1 loiir o’clock f«»r!
Graham accompanied by a
delegation of faithful “rooters”
and well-wishers to play a match
game with the Graham team this
evening. When we saw them
last they were merry, enthusias-
tic and a little bit confident, but
not burdened with confidence
over the final outcome of the
game; all the players were in
good condition-and fully appre
ciatsd the situation that this is
the battle of the season, and the
cool and determined look on their
faces showed that each one meant
to do all in his power to bring
victory to Jacksboro.
The team will be composed of
McConnell, Johnson and McNeil,
pitchers; Robinson, Waller and
Patton, catchers ; Cooper, first;
Johnson and McConnell, second;
Henson, third ; Patton and Wal-
ler, short; Taylor, McNeil, Waller
and Robinson, field : with Aynes
and Phipps, snbstitates.
The individual and team work
both are now the best. Three
batteries will insure against ordi-
nary accidents and the pitcher’s
giving oat. McNeil, the recent-
ly acquired pitcher is a strong
support with his vicious left
handed throwing. His speed so
far has been terrific and calculated
to puzzle an ordinary batter for a
time, McConnell and Johnson
have been gradually developing
more speed and better carves, so
the box will be in good form and
as this is the most important
place in the team, the mansger is
feeling reasonably confident of
his “ twirlers,” and of their part
of the work. The same improve-
ment has been made all over the
diamond. The batting and base
running records so far have been
the pride of the team.
The Younfcy County Call of last
week says: “The Jacksboro base
ball team is coming over next
Thursday to try the Graham boys
a round or two on the diamond.
Gar boys are not in good trim,
bat they expect to get themselves
in shape to 4 take it out’ of Jacks-
boro in short order. However,
we will not do any crowing until
the game is played.”
The only reply that can be
heard is: “ If Graham beats ns,
they will know they have been in
a game of ball,”
We like the spirit of this reply
much better than if it had been a
Ipud “ cro w.”
Manager Hensley expects to
bring off a return game with Gra-
ham here next week on the home
grounds, if it can be arranged.
The Graham team is as follows:
Timmons, pitcher; Black,catcher;
Hunt, first base; Wallace, sec-
ond f Wood, third } Jones, short;
Mathews, Harmao, Gay, fielders.
At 4:30 message over the wires
says: played i inniogs, score
stands 0 to 3 in favor of Jacks-
boro.
McConnell prostrated with heat
and physician called.
One of the second nines, we
hear, will play a match game with
tbe Pleasant Grove nine, at the
Brown school house picnic next
Saturday.
A game was played near the
cemetery Tuesday afternoon be-
tween the “ Presbyterian ” alias
the “ Spiller ” nine and the “ Ba-
bies ” alias the “ Gowdy ” nine,
the score resulting in 12 to 6 in
favor of the “ Babies.” ’ The game
was of great interest an^'pleasure
to the little fellows. They imi-" ~ITxed fcerialnumber engraved oiuits side,
lated in detail all the actions of
their exemplars, the first nine,
even down to the three cheers for
tbe opposing side. X.X. X.
REGISTERED MAIL.
Many Clerkt flawlie and Verify
Package*
In the New York post office, when a
letter is presented for registration it is
inspected by the receiving clerk to as-
certain whether it is in good condition,
firmly sealed, properly addressed
and sufficiently prepaid, nnd that
the name of the sender has been
indorsed on it. These requirements be-
ing met, the clerk records the letter in
a book composed of alternate th n and
thick leaves, a manifold copy of the en-
try being obtained by means of a sheet
of carbon paper placed between the
two.
The thin sheets are perforated in ob-
long sections for ready separation, and
constitute the receipts issued to the
public. Each receipt bears a distinct
number in a series running from one to
one hundred thousand, and ever} letter
registered has the number of the leceipt
issued for it indorsed on its face.
’ The condition of the letter envelope
is now inspected by another clerk, and
if perfect, the imprint of a hand stamp
is impressed across the edge of t iie flap
to betray any tampering.
These preliminaries being com pie ted,
a card known as the return receipt is
prepared and attached to the letter by
means of a rubber band. On one side of
the card appear the number, date of
mailing, name of addressee, and desti-
nation of the letter; on the other, the
name and full address of the sender, to
whom the receipted card will be re-
turned when the letter has been deliv-
ered.
In its numerical order the letter
passes to a separating clerk, and with
99 others, composing an even 100, is dis-
tributed to one of the six cases, where
it will be further treated. ^lip sep-
arating clerk verifies tfie coyi»t pack
100 letters before separating another
100, and, as frequently as may be neces-
sary, delivers each subdivision to the
clerks in charge of the cases.
A case consists of a long table with a
set of plgepp hffies tearing the name?
of the large citieB in the section of the
country assigned to that case, and in
these pigeon hojes the clerk in charge
boxes the Jett^r®! SP J from time to time
parcels them opt to hisassistapi a,.
The next step is the preparation of
what is known as a registered package
envelope, This consists of an ingeni-
ously contrived envelope specially man-
ufactured out of particularly tough
paper for the use to which it is put,
and also numbered in a series of 100,000.
'■! On the face of each envelope appears
its number and spaces for the name of
the post office, county and state to
which it will be sent, while the back is
arranged for notations of its condition
by every postal official' through whose
trends it subsequently passes. One of
ihese envelopes having beten addressed,
entry of the letter to be inclosed in it
is/ruade op a registry bill, which shows
tfce date of mailing, name of the post
office using it, name of the ppst office to
whi«h Ffil he sent, fiujpbei5 of The
registered package envelope, and, flnal-
the registered mimber of the letter
t<y be placed in it and the name of its
addressee.
>The bill, and the letter*are-placed in
this envelope, which then pasi-ea to a
clevk, who removes ita contents, com-
pared the letter with the entrj on the
bill, and calls the registered letter and
registered package envelop^ numbers,
together with their destinafift11. to an
nssistapi, who records flgjp particu-
lars In the mailing book. The letter
nnd bill are now replaced In the en-
velope, apd it pqsseg to appfh^r clerk
for final yprifipatioR Qf p<jnfeats and
sealing, J
The sealing consists in an applica-
tion of blue mucilage to the three flaps
of the envelope, which when one© closed
cannot be reopened- without mutila-
tions, the blue mucilage exposing any
attempt tq open tfie envelope by any
steaming process. The po«t©ftth Show-
ing the mailing office and the date is
now affixed, and the envelope, with a
lot of others from the same case, goes to
the pouch room, where andthei sepnra
tlon is necessary in order that it may
get to the registered pouch that will
carry it to the distributing office near-
est its final destination,
Tfie contents of the registered pack-
age envelope can now only be ascer-
tained by reference to the registered
letter numbers charged against the
envelope number in the mailing book,
or the more full description ol‘ the let-
ters on the registry bill? which is ukder
seal, and, therefore, inaccessible.
The registered package envelope is
entered by origin, number and desti-
nation on the book yOf the pouch in
which it is to be dispatched, a carbon
manifold record of the package inclosed
iii each pouch being preserved, the du-
plicate sheet of each poueh forming
the bill of advice to the office 1o which
the pouch is scut.
When as many packages as the pouch
will lidld have teen entered on the
proper book two clerks verify the en-
tries, sign tbe last sheet of the bill,
place it with the packages in the pouch,
adjust the strap that secure,, it and
finally' attach tliat mechanical wonder
