Quite A Difference.

A "Laboring Man. in the Bangor Dem
ocrut figures out the difference between the
year 1859 and the present time as follows:
For Jour day work in 1859, could buy
a barrel of excellent flour. For an equally
good barrel now, have to work oght days.
For enc days work in 1859, | could buy
fre pounds of tea. For the same day 5
work, | can now buy but t,co pounds.
For one days work then | could buy
thirty pounds of sugar. For days work
now, | can get but fifteen pounds.
For a day work in 1859, | could buy
eight pounds of tobacco. For days work
now, can buy but three pounds.
For days word in 1859, could buy
fourteen pounds of coffee. For a day S
work now, can buy but fire pounds.
In 1859, for one month s work, | could
clothe myself and family for one year. To
do the same now, am obliged to work full
two months and half.
l might thrs 60 through the whole list
of articles that & aboring man and his
family consume. Th4 fact is that we are
permitted to enjoy but one haJ Of the fruits
cf our labor; the other halt goes to the
Government and tie plunderers OF thu pub
lie treasury.
Is it not time for me and my fellow
laborers to look around US, ascertain the
the cause of this robbery of labor, aud APP
ply the remedy? Eg Hr8E

Stale Platform adopted at Col
umbsas, JanuaryS

RESOLVED, That Notwithstanding the enor-
nous and conceded frauds in the creation
of the public debt, the faith of the codntry
is pledgei to its payment, principal and in
terest, according to the terms of the sewers
al acts of Congress. under which the bonds
representing the debt were issued, but not
otherwise, and we are opposed to any plan
for extending the times of paymtnt, thus
increasing the amount of gold interest to
more than the principal, or to any declara-
ton by Congress that the principal is paya-
bic in gold, which would virtually add
more than d thousand millions to the burth-
eu of the debt, and to the whole insane
financial policy of which these measures
are part.
RESOLVED, That, neither forgetting nor
denying our ancient faith that gold and
silver coin form the currency of the Con-
stitution, we declare that the fve>twenty
bonds, should be paid in the same curren,
cy received by the Government for their
issue, and that by the withdrawal of the
monopoly granted to the National Banks
this result can be accomplished without an
undue or dangerous increase of paper
money, now the only cilculating medium,
thus relieving our people from tho burthen
of debt, the tendency of which is always
to corrupt and enslave, and our Govern
ment from the reproach OF paying favor
ed class in gold, while discharging its debts
10 all others, including pensions to widows
and soldiers, i'll an interior currency.
RESOLVED, That this plan violates no
law, impairs no contract, breaks no faith,
and instead of retarding a return to specie
payments, is the shortest because the only
safe way of renching that end.
RESOLVED, That all the property of the
country, including the Government bonds,
which receives the equal protection Of the
Government, should bear an equal share
in it's burtlcnS
