MORE SIGNS OF DISSOLUTION.

The BELMONT (Ohio) Chronicle, contains
the resignation OF the Van Buren, Committee
for Union Township in that State. The fol-
lowing is an extract.
We can no longer support party whose
golden policy is TO make the 'rich richer, and
the poor poorer" and whose profession Tor the
dear people have been SO long and loud, but
whose practice, proves 10 us that they love ",he
loaves and fishes" more than the peoples
rights. For these and similar reasons, we
cannot support Martin Van Buren, for the
Presidency, in the fall of 1910.

ges Of Labor. Every man Of common sense
must discovery that if the price of all the
productions Of Labor can be Afforded cheap
er than other markets can furnish them, that
the demand fer them will be greatly increas-
ed; that if the demand be increased for the
produce, the demand for the producer must
increase in the same ratio, and that increase
of demand for labor cannot fail to insure an
increased compensation TO the laboreI.-
How false then the charge, how infamously
false the assertion that the Administration
aims to reduce the Wages of Labor; and
how certain is the policy OF the Administra-
ton 10 produce the opposite result Suppose
the ridiculous charge were true. W'hat a
spectacle ofdsnteresed benevoence would
our country present; on the one side the
wealthy employers Of labor urging policy
which would diminsh their profits and in-
crease the Wages Of workmen, and on the
other the workmen themselves spuruing the
generous offer and contending for policy
which enriches tier employers and im-
peverisheS themselves-and yet the men
who propagate that absurdity, profess To
believe in popular intelligence. Truly they
must hold it in very high estimation.
