THE TRUE VAN buren, DOCTRINE
READ 1T MECHANICS AND La
BORERS-READI EARMERSI

The following is mn extract from speech re-
Gently delivered in the Senate of the United States
by Mr. Japan ofOhio, one of the special instru
ments of Van Buren, and his cabinet. IL is the
whole doctrine fthe administration ON the sub
Ject oi tcdges and prices in a nut shell. The only
mistake we notice is, that Mr. Japan does not put
the point 10 which the wages OF labor should be
reduced loo enough. Buchanan is nearer the
mark. He hints at seven pence per day.
Lest IN honest lne' hnnic, aborer or yeonlnn
shonld overlook the blessings that this administra
ton las in store for him, we give Mr. Tnppans re-
marks in capitals:
"Ihe price IF labor is entirely Too high. THE
LABORER IN THIS COUNTRY CAN AT
FORD TO WORK FOR eleven pence a dan,
AND THE HARD MONEY SYSTEM WILL
BRING DOWN WAGES TO THAT SUM.
WHEAT WILL ALSO COME DOWN TO SIX.
ELSE ~ PROPORTION. THIS is THE
BEST TARIFF YOU CAN HAVE, AND THE
ONLY ONE THAT CAN ENABLE THE
MANUFACTURER TO COMPETE WITil
ENGLAND. The Sub r., easuy ,oM effect both
objects IT WILL PUT DOWN TIE BANKS
AND bring 0dgeS md every Thing else DOZEN"
The snhOned article from the Hheeiing Times
w'l' serve TO show how The principle works.
The farmer can raise no more wheat on an
acre no more wool from a sheep, tban I've could ii
30, ana he gets only third as much for what
lIc does raise. In 1896 n farmer brought l0C
bushels OF wheat to market he got for it Sl2;

carry home. Tic goes to market in June, 1910
with his hundred bushels of wheat sells it an,

to carry home Itoeipe and half cents. Is no

LOUISIANA. The election for members Of con-
gress and tho State legislature, took place on Mon
day last. We expect the election of two " hig
members of Congress, a majority Of the legisla-
turre, and also majority Of the popular vote.--
The Wings have all the members (three) in the
present congress; but one Of them mr. Chimp
was elected in a locofoco district, by small ma
jori.y, owing to the personal unpopularity of his
opponent. This district, as indicated alone, we
expect TO lose. A wing majority in the popular
vote, however, secures the state for Harrison and
wing majority in the Legislature secures U. s.
senator in the place of Mr.. Mouton.

A Locofoeo game. Frightened into desperation
by the hundreds Of renuncations of Van Burenism
through the country, some of the loco foco papers
have commenced publishing the names of Wings
who as they pretend, are come OF coming The
Richmoed (Va.) Enquirer commenced by stating
that Sneaker Hunter and Coz. Wickii8e were
'come or coa,ing to the loco foco ranks. Ia due
time, Speaker Hunter authorized public denial
of this rumor, and Gov. Wcklife cleared his skirts
by attending Wing Convention and making a
Harrison speech. James Henderson, of Indiana,
is another case whose Remuneration OF whiggery'
was duly paraded in the Globe: 1t turns out that
there is no such man in existence, and Of course,
the remuneration is Iocofoco forgery. Johs Roioan

the Baltimore Patriot, that Judge Rowan has him
self staied since his late appointment to office by
the President, that he has not voted for seven
wears, and if he now votes at all, his vote will be
given for Harrison. 1t seems, then, that both the
rumor and the Executive git; will prove aborlIve.
