The New Doctrine of Reputation.
Rutland, Vt.

Among the issues that appear to be
entering into the present political can
vass in the Western States, is new doc
trine of reputation, or what virtually
amounts to 1.-THE payment Of the Ma
tional Debt, interest and principal, in
greenbacks. They demand that enough
greenbacks shall be issued at once to
take up all the bonds, and that the cred
itors of the government shall be COM
PEELED by law to accept the new issue OF
greenbacks as payment in full, whether
they so desire or not. 1t is to be fairly
assumed that those who advocate this
doctrine have never seriously considered
the effect upon the business Of the coun-
try of an issue Of some thousands OF
millions, more or less, Of this currency,
nor do they remember the vehement ap-
peals year ago to the government to
contract the currency to the end OF
sooner reaching Sound Democratic
specie basis" Their memory must be
excessively short, or they wonld not,
within the limit of year, be crying for
both contraction and expansion.
Forgetting their wishes of year ago,
it is to be wondered at that these writer's
and speakers should forget the more i'm
portant points involved in the matter =?
Have they forgotten that the faith Of the
nation is pledged in the matter of pay
ing the principal as well as the interest
of this national Indebtedness !? Is con-
tract nothing Has it been forgotten
that millions upon millions of American
securities are held in England and Ger
many, where greenbacks, however valu-
able they may be at home, are not cur
rency, and are comparatively worthless.
Would they compel the German holder
of 1905 and 5-20s to take in payment
Of his loan currency valuless to him
instead Of the precious metal denomina-
ted in the bond? What else would
this be but reputation 2
This Is not too strong presentation OF
the doctrine those who have so suddenly
fallen in love with greeubacks are aim
ing at. They urge the payment of the
bonds forthwith in this new issue, be-
cause they well know that an operation
of this character would make greenbacks
as worthless as the ldlContlnental Cur.

Labor n Law.

The folly and impracticability of reg
ulating hours of labor by legal enact
ments have been satisfactorily tried in
Chicago, mud perhaps it is well that we
have had 50 plain an exposition. Dis
cussion is very well in its place, but a
practical test is better. The State Of
Illinois passed an eight hour law, and
the attempt was made in Chicago to
carry it into effect according to the ideas
of the laborers; that is, hat eight hours
labor shall command the wages of ten,
on the ground that ga days work is q
days work" be the hours what they
may. OF course the capitalists and
manufacturers would not submit to
such an absurd claim; they wero will
ing in many instances, to adopt the
eight hour plan with a 20 per cent. re-
duction from the usual rate of compen-
sation, while manufacturers refused to
employ workmen for a less time than
ten hours, for the reason that the pro-
fits of manufacture and the expense of
running machinery would not warrant
the short days work. They were there
fore ready to pay by the hour, and the
whole question was settling down into
a system of hour work, an issue which
the eight hour men were especially anx-
ious to avoid. The result of the whole
excitement has been that a large ma
jority of the operatives have returned
to the ten hour system rather than sub
M ~ a roductiop If wauos Wa fhipE
the effect Of this furry at Chicago viii
be to show that it is impossible to reg
ulate rigidly the hours of labor by law.
So many diverse interests are involved,
and there are SO many kinds Of work
which positively require more than II
day Of eight hours, that legal restric-
tons are impracticable, and special con-
tracts are made matters of necessity.
There are just enough uneasy, %revolu-
tionary persons in every manufacturing
community to stir up trouble among
those who are too willingly led estray
As a general rule, our capitalists are
disposed to deal honorably with those
whom they employ, and accede to rea-
sonable demands; but when men want
the same pay for eight hours labor that
they have been receiving for ten, and
refuse to make special contracts, the
case becomes different, and the laborer
suffers from his W mistakes, for il i is
usually the case that in a Z" strike " the

they are people of much wealth and
standing. and no matter what General
Stoughton might want, in the way OF
money and clothing, would be most
cheerfully returned. Probably Colonel
Leftrich would write to some friend in
Richmond. His mother and sister,
who were with him at the fine, are both
inclined to be southern, would be SO
grateful for any kindness shown General
Stoughton. When you write cousin i,
ask him if he comes to Richmond, which
he very often does, to go and see him,
and do anything he can for him. II

Stoughton went to Mrs. G.. LIS and got
Charley's valise for me; and he has al
