JOURNEYMEN PRINTERS.

Mr.. FRARY,-It is with pleasure that
read an advertisement in your paper for a
Journeymen Printer, and the encouragement
given that he shall receiue a salary to corres-
pond with the times. You. sir, are the first
man that has given encouragement to journey
men to visit this country. We have can i'm
mense and almost unknown country" and
printers are needed, and you have adopted the
right course to induce them to come here.
/ do not see why man should not receive
the same salary here, that he does in the
city of New-York, knowing, as | do, that
the i,rieos Of provisions, and every article 'o
consumption are in advance from the prices
paid in the great commercial metropolis Of
this Union.
While on this subject, I would suggest that
CONVENTION OF THE JoURNEyMEN PRINTERS
of Detroit, Monroe, Manhattan, Toledo, Per.
rysburg, Maumee City, and many other places
that do not think Of to meet at some con.
venentpoint, to establish UNION TYPO.
GRAPHICAL SOCIETY, and to adopt a
Scale of Prices that shall correspond with the
prices that are paid to other mechanics
Journeymen printers are now receiving only
about half the salary that any other class of
mechanics receive. would ask, why is it
so Is it because he is Printer am aware
that people in this country think that if man
is printer-it is glory enough--he can live
whether he receives any thing for his labor
or not. This living on glory do not, flor one
out of many thousands,) believe in.
If the suggestion for convention, should
receive your appreciation, you will please make
it known Throughout columns. am for a
Scale Of Prices that shall govern the .obole

dence Of how sharp was the cutting satire
Of the Misslssippian. Wise attempted to
reply, but a look from Gholson Is quite suf-
fcieRt to put this turbulent spirit to rest.
The bill requiring payment in advance
of postage on letters by the express mail
was hurried through the house with unex
amPled despatch. The reason for this
haste is. presume, that many Of the mem
bers have been taxed with the payment of
letters by this nail, and whenever their in
terests ARE concerned, you will be sure to
find them acting with despatch.
We have now before the House the Di-
vorce Bill-so it is sfacetiously termed. The
spirit with which the administration have
gone to work upon this bill plainly sbews
that their intention is to carry it through at
once, and that too if possible, without much
debate. The late success of bills reported
by the Chairman of Ways and Means, have
so alarmed the opposition, that it is with
difficulty they are made to believe their own
senses. Wise stalks about like madman
and his friend Bell appears in not any
better situation. BY Saturday the House
will get through with its business and be
ready to adjourn.
Nothing of moment has been done in the
Senate. This branch of Congress may be
said to have finished their business, and are
only waiting the day of adjournment

take Bank paper, why should yOu 40, be
compelled to do So to.
Banks-It would be very inconvenient to
us and we might som eiImes sustain loss by

Pesple-And it is very inconvenient to
us, and VIC often sustain loss by it (; but it
is your system you should share its bur-
dens as well as enjoy its benefits.

PeopIe-Tben we want a general law
making all the Stockholders Of Banks liza
BILE, as common partners to pay the debts of
their respective Banks.
Banks-That would reduce the value Of
our stocks prudent men would not like to
hold stocks on that condition.
People-If your own partners are afraid
TO trust each other, it only prov IS that the
public, who are strangers TO you, need far
ther security. They can look into your af-
fairs, we can't. They can control you, we
can't If they won't trust you, why should
wei IL some such reformation as this
could be brought about, we should all get
along better. As to the Government, it
can collect the revenue, and pay it out, with
no other aid than few iron chests, and a
dozen additional clerks; and they can buy
chests as strong, and get clerks as honest as
yours.
Banks--Well, we can't agree no how !;
so we'll measure strength with you, old
boys we'll just mount our Wings, and run
over you, and when you are down, we'll
have things our own way.

1 ity of its execution. The country was GO
ing on at the rate Of an average ofTWELVE
millions of specie per annum, when the
general stoppages of banks in May last
the expectation Of specie, and the imposlt-
ernment and the people, seemed to an-
nounce the total failure IF the plan. Bu
il was seeming only. The impetus given
to the specie policy still prevails, aud FIVE
millions are added to the stock during the
present fiscal year. So far. then, as the
cou unteraciion of the Government policy,
and the suppression of the constitutional
currency, might have been expected to re-
suit from that stoppage, the calculation
seems to he in fair way to be disappoinf-
ed. The spirit Of the people, and our
HUNDRED millions Of exportable pro-
dnce, are giving the victory to the glorious
policy ofour late ilustrious President. The
other great consequences expected to resul,
from that stoppagr, namely, the re-charter
of the Bank of the United States, the change
Of administration, the overthrow Of the re-
publican party and the restoration Of the
federal dynasty, all seem to be in the same
fair way to total miscarriage; but the OBJ
jects rrc too dazzling to be abandoned by
The party interested, and the destruction of
the finances and the currency, is still the
cherished road to success. The miscalled
Bank Of the United States, the soul Of the
federal dynasty, and the anchor Of its hopes
believed by many to have beeh at the
bottom Of the stoppages in May, and known
by all TO be mt the head Of non-resumptlon
-now displays her policy on this floor; it
is to compel the repetition Of the error of
Mr. Madison's administration Knowing
that from the repetition Of this error must
come the repetition of the catastrophes of
1914, 1919; and 1887 ; and out Of these
catastrophes to extract a new clnmor for
the revlfication Of herself. This is her line
of conduct and to this line the condnct of
all her friends conforms, With one hear
one mind, one voice, they labor to cut off
gold and silver from the Federal Govern
ment, and to impose paper upon it they
labor to deprive it of the keeping Of its own
revenues, and to place them again where
they have been so often lost This is the
conduct of that bank and its friends. Let
us initiate their zcal, their unanimitv, nnd
their perseverance. The AMENDMENT,
and the Bull, now before the Senate, en-
body our policy. Let us carry them, and
the Republic is safe.

The bill for issuing treasury drafts to the
amount of ten millions, has now become a

opposition tina, was brought to bear agains,

Whilst this question was under debate
yesterday, Mr. Gholson Of Mississippi took
occasion to show up in admirable eolors.
the true aim of the whig party in both hous-
es of congress. He said that all their pra.
ting Of distress was pat on bu, for effect.
Their real object being not to give the least
favor or support to the people. This he
showed by comparing together their pro-
iessIons and practices. The gentleman
from Virginia, mr. wise.) who is eternal.

the beginning Of this session tha, he in,en.
ded to remain silent, and let the admins

the country in trouble, it was now their
place to put It upon a healthy foundation.

been blessing to the country, I freely con-
fess II the member bad regarded his promise
with any thing like faith. But il is not in
his liotspur nature to be silent, and so far
as the other promise goes, why we see the

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 18th, 1897.

The present number of nur paper COM
pleies the first volume since we undertook
the task Of conducting IT, In reviewing our
labors we cannot but be sensible of having
committed many errors, but hope that they
viii not be considered Of sufficient impor-
tance to be treasured up against us. We
believe we may say without egotism, thnt
the course we have pursued. has received
the general appreciation of many persons
whose good opinion we highly prize.
We have endeavored to s,ear our course
through the troubled waters of political
strife, bearing the proud flag and battling
in the good cause of democracy, so rs not
to render ourselves obnoxious to serious
charges from either party-we could not
expect TO accomplish the hopeless task Of
pleasing all, and did not attempt it. As
long as men differ in opinion on political
questions, that difference will be publicly
expressed; and in the expression, and in the
contest, which the practical application Of
those opinions occasion, many things are
said and done which cannot be expected to
meet the approval of all parties.
Having acquired some experience in the
duties of the responsible station we have
assumed we shall commence the second
year Of our editorial labors with the deter
mlnation to improve upon the last, and by
making The paper more useful, to render il
worthy of more extended patronage.

Mr.. Calhoun has done himself great hon

more than sustained his high reputation.
He thinks, feels and reasons upon the sub

that 1t is wholly at variance with the genius
and spirit of our political institutions, that
II creates real mOnied 0ristocracy, which
already threatens, and if permitted to ex-
pand and consolidate itself, will subvert the
liberty of the people and change the char.
acter of the government. He described
with great effect the blighting influence ex-
ercsed by this scrub or scrip nobility upon
learning, science and all the generous as
plrntions of the mind, its tendency to de-
grade the character Of our constitution and
concentrate the whole activity of the people
in base and sordid effort to make monev.
His remarks on this head were quite in the
spirit of the excellent motto of your paper, =,
Mind before money. They electrified the
Senate. Webster was evidently cut to the
