GOV. SEYMOUR ON LABOR.

Gov. Seymour being farmer can sympa
thize with all who earn their living by labor
of any sort. On his way east, at Pittsburgh
on Wednesday evening, he made grea
speech. Edgar Cowan presided at the
meeting;
Gov. Seymour commenced by referring
to the manufacturing prosperity OF Pitts
burgh, and to the perpexities of business
men, on account Of the uncertainty of the
legislation Of the party IN power, and the
burdens falling on labor from taxation. He
argued that the taxation resulting from NAL
administration by our rulers, made the diff
erence to the abOrer Of between six and ten
hours of labor. If there was no such thing
as taxation, direct or indirect, six hours Of
toll would give man as good support as he
now obtains from ten hours toll. He con.
tinued Remember that before you give
your family their food and before you give
them their clothing, you are heavily taxed
in the price which you pay for these Rrti
Giles. DO not forget this in considering the
effects of heavy taxation upon you. Now,
suppose the mechanics Of Pittsburgh paid
no taxation suppose they bought all things
at first cost, relieved from any kind of tax
alton on the part Of your government, when
you had worked six hours you could throw
down your sledge, your hammer, or your
saw, and say, "Now we will 60 home y or,
if we wish TO proong our toll, we will lay
up the accumulation Of what we earn for q
future day. But when you are ready to go,
man comes up, lays his hand on your
shoulder, aud says, "Stop, you are bound to
your government" That is true. You
ought 10 60 back then, and work, | think
one hour, to pay your share of taxation
You then prepare to leave the workshop
again, but you are called back, and told tn at

| debt. That is true. You ought to do so;
and so you 90 back and work cheerfully for
two hours beyond the time it is necessary &c

| In view Of Grants election, gold is declining
every day, and the prices Of goods are being
| marked down UHion this morning
And as gold declines, so does wheat, corn,
all sorts of farm produce, land, houses and
all kinds of property and pretty soon labor
will 90 down, too, if the people elect the
radical ticket. Gold governs the price Of
everything, labor as well as everything else.

that, but all public Improvements will
be crippled and curtailed, and thousands
of mechanics and laborers thrown out of EN-
ployment.
The contrast between the policies of the
two parties is so plain that we don't see how
any except negroes, bondholders, national
bankers and Office holders can vote for
Grant, or for any man on the radical ticket.
The difference between the two parties, on
this subject is as follows:
The radicals propose to repudate the con.
tract the people Through their agents made
to pay the bondholders in greenbacks, and
pay them in gold and they propose to re.
duce the volume Of currency in circulation,
thus reducing prices. In 1865 we had thir.
teen hundred millions Of currency in circula-
ton, Did our people ever accumulate prop.
erty as fast or live as easy as then? The
radicals have, since 1865, contracted or cut
down the volume OF currency to less than
eight hundred millions; aud they propose to
reduce it still lower. What is The result :

A jacobin newspaper, remarkable for the
recklessnsss OF its statements, says the man.
ulactures of Pennsylvania exceed those of
New England in value, and that the manu-.
features OF New Jersey exceed those Of any
New England state, except Massachusetts.
In 1860, the capital invested in manufac.
lures in New England amounted to $751;,
497, 1888, and the value of annual products
from manufacturing was $468, 599087 In
the same year, the capital invested in manu-.
featuring in Pennsylvania was $l9O,055,9O
and the value of annual products from this
source was $780, III, 1883. The capital in.
vested in manufactures in New Jersey is
less than that invested in Connecticut by
several millions of dollars.
The attempt to show that New Eng
land il not chiefly interested in the re-.
lease of manufactures from taxation will not
deceive any intelligent person. What dele.
CATION in congress WAS most active in the
effort 10 repeal the taxes on manufactures ?
Think Oft, taxpayers. The value of an.
nual products Of the New England mills is
$46S, 599,0S7. This is exempt from federal
taxation, and at the same time the mauufac-
turers are protected by prohibitorv tariff.

DISASTROUS FIRE. About o'clock last
Friday morning, the Andover Touring mill,
owned and occupied by Morrison Francis,
Esq, was discovered to be on fire, and in a
very brief period the building, with all its
contents, was destroyed. There were in it
some 1900 bushels of wheat and from three
to FIVE tons flour, all of which, with the
mill, machinery, &c, was consumed. The
fire was, doubtless, accidental. The total
loss amounts to at least $4,000. There
was no insurance. The loss, though large,
