ufacture Of army work-clothing making es-
pecialIy-is about to be discontinued here, bV
order of the Quartermaster. General, and CON
oentrated at Washington, or other Eastern
oiies, unless the people Of Cincinnati send up
strong remoDstrances, sho wing the cruelty and
Injustice of throwing thousands of men aud wo-
men out of employment, in the midst of winter
at such hard times as the present, and upon a
frontier so exposed to danger, and cut from its
natural trade and commerce by embargoes and
other restrictions, growing out Of the war;
therefore,
ResolUed, That the City Council do, in the
name Of all the citizens Of Cineinnati. rsmon-
strate with the Administration against the
threatened change 10 the existing paralysis of
all kinds Of business Wbich Cincinnati has had
to bear, unduly growing out of the war, she
bas a right to ask that the army work, which
she has been and is now doing as cbesp and as
well as any other city east or west, shall be
continued here as long as there is demand for
1t, and shall not be transferred TO auy other
more favored city.

our people that the paramount duty of our gov

1t bestows shall descend like the dews of heaven
equally upon all sections, and that no portion
OF the country should be crushed nor its indus
try paraly zed to benefit any other.
hes0tued, That We recognize the right of
Eastern mechanics and working-people to
manufacture all thst may be necessary for the
army they put in the field, but that the West,
as far as it is possible for them to do so, may
be permitted TO manufacture such articles as
tier own army requires. This we claim as a
night, and trust it will not he denied us, when
II IS considered the sacrifices Cincinnati and the
West have made, in denying themselves the ad
vaDtages of the commerce of a Southern mar.
ket, and being among the very FIRST in thro wing
their armed prott otion over the metropolis of
the nation; while it may bs said that il is true
thet The West has standing in Washing gton
commensurate With her claims, especially when
so large class of the IaboriDg population are
threatened with starvation.
