The Eight Hour Law.

The late session Of the legislature
Illinois passed a law constituting eight
hours legal days work for day labor
ers, where there is not 4 special agree
n,ent to the contrary between the par
ties. The lst of May was the day
for It's taking effect. On that day a
large number Of day laborers and 9TH
ers, got up a demonstration in Chlca-
90, for the purpose of rejoicing over
the paszare Of the law. and expressing
a determination TO insist upon It's en-
forcement. and preventing others from
working except on the eight hour sys-
TEN. The employers not being viii
ling to pay the usual ten hours wages
for eight hours work, the resalt was
a pretty general STRIKE amounting
to little short Of 4 mob. Nearly all
the manufacturing establishments in
the city were visited and men disposed
to work were forced to quit, IN some
eases by threats and IN others by force.
They were successful in closing the
doors Of many houses. Several days
of riotous conduct followed, one large
grain Elevator burned and business in
some departments suspended
That q law similar to the one n
question may be necessary IN large
manufacturing towns where children
are often overworked cannot be denied;
but for men who have control Of their
own time, we can see no necessity for
such an enactment. y mans labor IL

should correspond with tie prices Of
articles consumed bv the lahorer. An
advance III the prices of goods should
be met with cores onding advance
in the price Of labor, which we believe
is usually the case.
A comparison of the advance IN wa
ees and prices since 1861, will show
that wages nave kept fully up to the
prices Of other articles. Nearly eve
~ thing Is about one hundred per
cent. higher now than then, and la
Dor IS not an exception. 1t appears
to Us that laborers generally are as
Well paid as before the war. and if q
they have no more cause for complaint

nave 10 right to demand the same a,

there Is no obligation upon US to

the preservation OF. known geographic

THE AMERICAN PUBLISHING COM
are glad to observe that
the American Publishing Company of
Hartford, Conn, are doing a vigor-
Gus business. and that in spite Of the
hard times they are making large sales
Of their books. Both the Park and
City printing Offices and binderies are
at work for the company, and presses
have been kept running night and day
upon their 4" Bible History and d" Be
yond the Mississippi, - and the compa-
ny have been obliged To start presses
in Philadelphia in order to enable
them to meet the demand for their
books. Since the first of June 10000
copies Of g Beyond the Mississippi
have been sold, and the company have
orders ahead for about 10000 more.
They have III press new work which
will be out in about ten days, called
Pebbles and Pearls, for the Young
People" This they will sell in their
usual way, through agents. 1t is said
to be one Of the most beautiful works
for the holidays and will doubtless be
in great demand. The publishing
company's shipments Of books las
month was greater than in any pre-
vious month during the year.

rible accident occurred On the Cincin-

gauge railroad this morning. This
express train due here at o'clock
was detained at Lockland by freight
tain coming from the south, and
while the expresg train was waiting
for the freight to take 9 side track
another freight train came dashing
along and ran into the rear of the ex-
press train before the man on the
lookout could get out his flag to stop
it. The collision upset the stoves in
the express train and set it on fire,
and four ladies and one gentleman
were burned to death, and a number
Of other persons severely injured
The train itself was burned to ashes.

Montgomery Blair has written a
bitter letter in which he thus shows
that the Democratic pressure on Gen.
Grant has failed;
II have been hoping and | get
hope, that Gen. Grant will, by declar-
ing openly for the Constitution, put
an end to these dangerous usurpa-
tons, The attempt OF the usurpers
to take refuge under bis skirts enables
him to deter them from a further pro-
secution of their revolutionary de-
signs by such declaration, and he
owes it to the country and to his own
fame to give this assurance of peace.
If he fails, it only imposes the greater
obligation upon others less distin-
guished men," &c.

4 Papers Ere e!

We this week commence to send the
Standard to many persons who are
not now subscribers to- it. We send
it to them in the hope that til ey may
become subscribers after looking it
over and reading it a few week S. We
intend to send it to them four weeks
without charge, and if at the end OF
that time they do not see fit 10 take
it they can return the paper 10 us re-
fused. To do so will cost them moth
ing. Therefore if these persons re-
ceive the paper four weeks free We
think they can have no just cause for
complaint. If the paper is not re-
turned as soon as the four weeks il
out we shall take it for granted that
they wish il continued, and we shall
continue it, only charging from the
first OF January next. We do this
because We wish to secure new and
good paying subscribers, and we re-
gard it the quickest and cheapest way
of getting them. 1t costs heavily to
hire an agent to canvass the county
not less than $500 day which we
cannot afford to pay. We are aware
that many who thus receive the paper
will grumbIe and cali it a trick Oh our
| part TO get them to take it. Not So
We wish to force no one to take the
| Standard; if any one does not want
| it he has On y to return one OF the fOul
papers and he is safe; we will strike
his name from the list. We think this
is fair. Is it not? Among our free
list we recognise the names Of many
| old iriends-iriends vino have hereto
fore been subscribers to the Standard
We should like 10 add them 10 oul
permanent list again. Shall We ?
We will try 10 give YOU the worth OF
your money. We should be glad tt
have your support again. But if an,
of YOU do not want to take the Stan
! dard the coming year, say so-and w
shall not be offended, if you will tax
no offence at our sending it to you tn
brief period of four weeks. The prize
will be $500, as ever.
