TLe returns of thirty clearing-house-a
published in detail on our
thiid page still 'how gains over last
year. The week's total increase over
the corresponding time in-1885 was
29.5 per cent.; outside ol New York,
25.4 per cent., an amount that tells
well (or general tiade, as the New
York returns include Wall street spec
ulations. Upon the increase list were
Chicago, I' ll per cent.; St. Louis, S3.2;
Cincinnati, 43.(1; Louisville, 25.1;
Kansas CUy, S3 9; New Orleans, 5 9.
and Memphis, OH per cent. There
were six cases of decrease, one of
which down 19 14 4; none of the
others was 7.7 per cent. ; one was a
low aa 0.i. Such a showing is an en
cauraging contrast to the weekly re
ports of a large part of lait season,
especially when we remember the Im
mense sdowj that have impeded busi
ness beyond the ordinary winter's in
flictions; the obstructions from strikes,
the dragging wheat market and the
extremely low price of cotton. If un
der these and other obstacles trade
can show as good a front as the clear
ings indicate, we may take courage
and go on with confidence, not forget
ting to have caution also in the train.
In many instances the strong and de
termined attitude of strikers, and
especially the application of the "boy
cott," are producing effects so power
ful as to indicate an approaching
crisis, so often anticipated between
capital and lubor. The anxiety en
gendered by this has a checking effect,
weakening confidence in the immedi
ate future. There is a movement on
hand to introduce a series of ttrikes
on a large scale in May, with a view
to reducing working hours to eight
each day. when difficulties are ex
pected to increase. The strikes exist
ing are all over the country from San
San Francisco to Maine, and the bold
ness and firm policy with which most
of them are conducted renders prop
erty men thoughtful. Railroad build
ing proepec's are much beyond those
of last spring; projects and surveys are
numeious. The building trade opens
up well in most places. In miniag
districts an active year la confldontly
looked for. Inside the cotton belt the
very low price of the staple has lobbed
the season of Its brightness, and the
planting season approaches amid
much discouragement, but whether
the result will be some departure, at
least, from the course of "all cotton,"
remains to be seen. Hopes to that ef
fect are below par, Our Memphis
clearings the last month have shown
the effect of low priced colon upon
business. New York reports money
easy lit 2 with oilers at 2 per cent, a
rate that will check the tendency to
invest in Kumao. Still some go'd is
going over eveiy week, but the Bank
of England rate is only 2 per cont. On
Thursday the Treasury received 1385,
000 hr redemption. The silver ques
tion still dnvjs on with an apparently
hopeless prospect cf deliverance,
which is a check on our opening pros,
pects. In business the politician is a
ditliulty incorrigible. The House Bank
ing Committee has decided to investi
gate financial and banking interests,
it is hoped with a view to reforms and
the introduction of sound improve
ments. Liit Wednesday $1,118,800 in
gold was. shipped to Europe; up to
$1,555,000 was engaged to go during
the week. The Bank of Eogland bai
its rate down us low as it can put it,
and it la expected to stay.'there for
some time to come. The Little Rock
Ga-.'Me repoits money there at 10 per
per cent, to bank customers, with an
euiy money market. The Nashville
turiVnn repoitibnnk business rather
quiet, collections improved; loan ac
count reduced to the lowest point, and
accumulations seeding investment east
The New Orleans Thaimc repoits a
continuance of bank monotony, but
financial conditions are healthful and
prices generally low, which raises ex
pectation or a reaction; losal money
abundant and cheap. As spring be
gins to approach there is a peiceptible
movement toward a higher plane, and
expectations are assuming a decidedly
more cheerful aspect.

the 'aw reducing the charge for the

the investigation into the validity of

ernment is about to make, show tt at
the power of the Bell monopoly to

other f-tiles will, in the same way, re

already before the L?KiUture. The
action of the company in threatening

THE RELATIONS BETWEEN CAPI
TAL AND LABOR.
Interview With Grand Macter Work
man Powderly or the
Knights of Labor.
Tb i la Dtxrn l , PA.,March 8. G rand
Master Workman Powderlv.the bead
of the Kolifbts of Labor organization,
wno is in this city attending a meet
ing of the General Executive Board,
said lo-night to a representative of the
Associated x'reas that be had receivea
no summons to 8l Louis to settle the
difficulties between the striken and
the Gould system c f roads ; that there
is no significance in the fact that ao
many striken are now in pi ogress in
the United States by assemblies of the
Koigbtaof Labor. "It ia coinci
dence, merely," said he, "and there is
no concerted action contemplated by
the order, as has been suggested, the
strikes being incidental, and. I think,
chiefly owing to the fact that this is just
the beginning of tha spring trad and
the opening of a period of prosperity
in business."
MB. POWDKIlLir
Ucon being asked whether be did
not think that the increase in the
number of strikes just now was owing
to the knowledge of an increased
power by the organlzitlons of labor,
said: "I doubt it, aid I think that I
cn speak for tbe General Executive
15c a rd. 1 do not thine that it is wise
to inaugurate to many strikes unless
it can he shown there is an extreme
necesity for them. If many of the
men who are striking would display a
little more common tense and use a
little more patience, they would get
all they are striking for and save their
time and money in tbe bargain. If
they would exercise proper modera
tion in their negotiations with their
employers and submit their claims,
firmly made and properly represented
to arbitration, I am free to lay that I
am sure trat nine out of ten ciues
which end in a strike could be a satis
factorily arranged without resorting to
such an extreme and generally doubt
ful expedient. Indeed, in the nine
cases there would be no necessity for
a ttrike. There is a feeling now that
labor mutt be recognised by the em
p'oyer; that tbe employer must listen
to the employes, and tha lime tut
come when the shopman, the mill
owner, tbe manufacturer in every de
partment of trade, is ready to listen to
the demands of the men, and to yield
to them when those demands are
reasonable. Organltation, discipline
and realization of the right and the
might in the case has brought about
tbiB change, and these advances on
the part of tbe employers should not
be repulsed by hasty and inconsiderate
action on tbe rart cf the working
men." ARBITRATION TBI KEMKDY.
"Arbitration, then, and not strikes
ia the theory of the order?" said the
reporter.
" x es, arbitration always when it is
rowible; strike only as a last retort.
But when that point is reached strike
hard, strike in earnest acd never sur
render, except to just concessions.
Why, this board I pointing to the mem
bers who were listening) has, since
the lit ot January, settled by arbitra
tion ibO cases, which would otherwise
have resulted in strikes without tbe
gaining ot a single point by the strik
ers. Tbe Knight of Labor and the
other labor organizations in sympathy
with its plans constitute, at the pres
ent time, the most powerful organiza
tion ot woiktngmen ever Known tu
the history ot the woili. Its
strength is increasing every day, and
its intluence is felt every day in every
branch ot trade in this country, it is
dangerous to abuse this power. It can
always inslet upon just demands care
fully considered and thoughtfully sug-
feeted. It cannot afford to fritter
(self away upon every little pretense
ot wrong, hastily formulated and pig-
headedly insisted upon. The growth
of tbe power ol labor should be an
occasion for calm deliberation and
moderation. Tbe workingmen should
be careful to see to it that they do not
sap and undermine their Hrengtn by
extreme demands and unreasonable
araumDtion ol ImDOitance and power.
It is. as some one has said before me,
a good thing to have the power of a
giant, but it is an evil thing to use it
like a giant, it was tbe disposition
on the part of the employer to refuse
to treat with his w orkingmen that made
the labor organizations a necessity
to them. Now that we have tbe
power which comes from organization,
we must use thBt power wisely and
moderately, and be careful that we do
not change position with the em-
nlover and refuse to treat with him,
except it the point of tbe pistol or
the ttrike, which is about the same
thing. A stnke should be the last re
sort, when everything else has tailed,
and net an every-day expedient,
which, used a) such, loses its power
aa it increases in frequency. In the
old assemblies, which are familiar
with our plana and purnojea, strikes
were infrequent. It is the new, and
as yet not fully informed organiza
tions, which, upon sometimes insulli
cient and frequently trivial causes,
makes the final and desperate appeal.
As oar organization grows there
will then be less strikes, because
there will be lees necessity for them.
Our power will be, in time, greater
than men now think. It will last so
long as we use it wisely. (And it will
be CO used). No power la lees lm
pertant than the constituent itself.
STRIKES THI LAST RESORT.
"Is the strike the last resort of the
Knights of Labor?" asked the re
porter. The Master Workman smiled. "I
see," said be. "what you are driving
at. A strike is a bad thing. Boycott
is immense in its results. A strike
stops production merely; a boycott
kills it A strike for a week is only
tbe loss of a week's business, trade
and wages. A boycott tor a week can
be tbe utter ruin of the business it
self. We have never failed in a boy
cott which has been ordered by the
General Committee. Its effectiveness
is undoubted, but it is an extreme
power which we use with caution."
"Is there not danges" said the re
porter, "that your organization may
become engaged in political move
ments and thus lose its power?"
' I hive no fear of that. The mat
ter involved in the existence and work
ot the Knights of Labor are nearer to
its members than matters of partisan
politics. We have here as you see on
this committee members of the two
old parties, a Greenbarker, and (with
a smile) other cranks like myself. We
are net politicians here. We have a
method of dealing with those who, as
tome have, entered our ranks
t) serve political ends; we turn
them out. We have bad no part
in ro!lt ice. It is bread and butter.the
riirhta of the emrloved. the matsrtal
and conceit, things of every day life,
tfct constitute the elements which do
now and always will bold us together,
APPEAL TUESDAY,
and thef e are stronger than pait.f an
r.oliiiral t;es. That is why I do not
fcarthe intrusion of colitirs when
people talk, as sometime they do,
about using the Knights cf Labor as a
political engine; tbey ;oter fie most
arrart nonsense. It is not worth
while to disenrs the matter with such
s nun. He is i-i'her a iiar or an
empty-headed fool.
In conclusion Mr. Powderly raid
that the Knights ot I aTor as an or
ganization had nothing ti do with tbe
strike in tbe bitumens coal region. as
tbe miners were nnder a serarate
organization, but he was -atiffied the
day was very near when all the labor
organizttions of the country would
be united nnder one general supervis
ion and central. He will remain in
Philadelphia with tbe General Com
mittee several days, unless called
away, aa he thinks poeeble, to the
Weet to arrange the difficulties there.

Washington, March 8. Senator
John F. Miller ol California died at
his reeidence on Connecticut avenue,
in this city, at 1 :20 o'clock this after
noon, afoer a piolonged illneM. While
his ondiiion has been regarded as
precarious for mat.. ' weeks past, his
death to-day was sudden and unex
pected. At no time since his arrival
in this city to attend the sessions c f
this Congress bai he been regarded as
entirely ont of danger, bnt he showed
such wonderful recuperative powers,
and rallied co often from attacks
which were regarded at the time as
neceerarily fa'a', that his friends
have been encouraged and even looked
for his ultimate recovery. His death was
the resnlt of a complication of disor
der arising primarily from a severe
wound in the eye received during tbe
war, twenty-three years ago. Tbe
ballet remaided in bis bead for about
twelve years be f jre it could be ex
tracted, and tbe wound capped his
strength and rendered him an easy
victim to disease. Loss ol sleep de
bilitated bis aytt'in, and attbinatia
symptoms kept him in almost constant
paiu. B right's disease subsequent
ly began its insidious woik, and then

But tbiough all his illness the Sena

that bis physicians were encouraged
to hope that be might possibly re

formed, and seemed 13 give much re

ol feeling mncn worse and wa
troubled with asthma. His physicians
were promp ly summoned and their
attentions seemed to cave ouut mm
